 This correspondent hereby expresses her thanks for letters from some o1 our leading citizens, including towr officials who agree with her that chil dren should not run automobiles on the public roads, and who thank hel for calling attention to the fact that the automobile laws of the state, necessarily strenuous, are being broken. It is better to be wise in season and although it is kind to take the chil. dren to ride it is not kindness tC allow them to run the machine A part of section of the automobile law that went into effect June 1st reads: No person shall operate 8 motor vehicle upon the public high ways of this state until shall have obtained from the secretary a license for such purpose, but no license shall be issued until said secretary is satis fled that the applicant is over Is years of age and is proper person to receive it. Also, nothing herein con. tained shall prevent the operating o1 a motor vehicle by an unlicensed per. son 6 years of age or more other than a person whose application has been denied or whose application has been or revoked if accompanied by licensed operator which licensed operator shall be personally liable fol a violation of any provision of this act. The fact remains that no person and no law can restore lost life. Let us all keep sweet and keep the law, trusting that our quiet town may not be the scene of an automobile catastrophe.
