to the Evening Star.

Special to the Evening Star.
TRENTON, Aug. .1e.-Over 5000
more persons were examined for driv-
ers' licenses the first seven months of
1914 by the bureau of examinations of
the State motor vehicle department
than during the eight months of 1913
in which the examinations were held,
according to the report of Commits
sioner Job H. Lippincott, head of the
department, just made public.
Up to July 81 of this year the in
spectors of the department have ex-
amined 1888 applicants for licenses.
While it is difficult TO accurately COM
pare these figures with the ones of
last year on account of the fact that
Commissioner Lippincott did not es-
tablish the examination bureau until
May of 1918. the report shows, how
ever, that during the eight months,
from May 1, 1913. to January l, 1914,
there were 1885 persons examined,
indicating 5000 less than for the
seven months of this year.
To date, out of the 1888 examina-
tons this year, 14.9S4 passed and 2,o1s
were rejected. The percentage of
those rejected for 1914 is approx
mately 10 per cent. as against ap-
proximately Is per cent. rejected for
the eight months of 1913. This indi-
Gates a better preparation this year
by those who subject themselves TO
the tests over those who were ex-
amined last year.
Usbo Dt1Ooha Of anDlfNa n q
thus far in 1914 have been examined
in Newark. The largest single ex-
amfna ton held was in Asbury Park,
where 473 persons were given the
tests in one day. The examination
work has been divided as follows
among the cities of the State: Allan
tic City, passed 1913, rejected ST; Cam
den. l ,256 rejected 1856; Bridgeton, 506,
rejected 70; Asbury Park, 1871, re-
iected 2S2; Morristown, 1887, rejected
2o1; Newark, 4.721, rejected ia; Pat
erson. 1907, rejected PAS; Cape May
(summer only, 407, rejected 80;
Hackettstown (summer only, $50, re-
iected 20; Sussex (surnmer only, 142
rejected %; Trenton, 1,S14, rejected
ia.
Mr.. Lippincott stated that the work
of the examination bureau has be-
come very large and important part
of the department, consuming much
of the inspectors time and costing the
State considerable money. He ID
therefore contemplating an examina-
ton fee of probably fifty cents an ap'
plicant. The commissioner expects
| that at this rate a revenue of 0,00t
would be derived each year, anc
might be devoted to the expense fol
additional inspectors and examiners
which the commissioner believes viii
be necessary to carry on the work o.
| the department.

He was positive they were prepar-

direction and in what manner? He
had not the gift of clairvoyance, so
he had to wait; and waiting is a ter
rible game when perhaps death is
balancing the scales. 1t is always
easier to make an assault than to
await 1t; and it is a good general
who always finds himself prepared.

first loves are pale, evanescent at
