When Is aChauffeur?
Puzzle Solved by New

Vexatious Question Settled BY
Ruling Handed Down to
Anxious Public.

NEW YORK, March 12.-when is a
chauffeur?
At last the problem is solved, at least
in one state. A letter from Mitchell
May, secretary OF state Of New York
to one OF the automobile companies
gives the correct definition as follows:
"The law defines a chauffeur as any
person who operates a motor vehicle as
an employee or for hire. II the opera
ton of a motor vehicle by a salesman
is merely incidental to his duties, and
not a necessary part of them, he does
not need a chauffeur's license; however,
If driving is part of his duties, then he
must have a chauffeur's license. A per-
son can drive friends car, providing
he does not come under the above def
milton of n chauffeur, is over eighteen
years of age and does not have exclu-
sive use of the motor vehicle for a
period OF over 80 days"
