LACK OF LICENSES
HAMPERING POLICE

The Missoula police. in endeavorins
rigidly to enforce the city traffic
ordinances, are facing an obstacle
caused indirectly by the failure of the
state to furnish licenses to all motor
lists in the state. The office of the
state auditor as swamped with appli-
cations for licepses weeks ago and has
not been able to fill half of the orders
yet. AS a result many of the cars
have no licenses. while those that
have the licenses cannot be traced as
yet, as the state license register for
the year has not been completed.

the same gasoline flashes which Will

These cars and their drivers represent
the greatest galaxy of speed ever con-
centrated in the northwest since auto
racing became the vogue. The drivers
are not world famous or mentioned in
the same breath as Barney Oldfield,
Earl Cooper, Dario Resta or Ralph De
Palma, but like these kings of the
straightaways they delight in speed,
pray for speed and exert from their
cars every vcstige of power that is
possible, which means that the salient
feature of auto racing, speed, will be
presented to fans in copious quantities.
Take the Hahn Special as a single
instance, which will be driven by DR.

Ruth Parton of Pendleton, and

top-notch riding girls who will par

Juanita Edgar is introducing herself

Montana for the first time. Hereto
fore she has never passed the boun-
diaries of the real northwest. Now she
is in the Garden city, hurting defics at
the camp Of her opponent, the little
Oregon girl.
Ruth Parton is a favorite. He,
horses are sleek and fast. She is
jealous of the idea that any rider from

When?
Hours of Irrigation Ex-
planned by Water Co.

Few Missoula people, to judge
from the number or telephone calls
received by The Missoulian recent
ly, understand the cryptic irriga-
ton regulations OF the Missoula
Light & Water company. Consci-
entious water users, after multi
plying their street numbers by %,
dividing the total by Is and sub
tracing the time of day, have
found to their surprise that the
result does not always indicate the
moment for irrigation. Some, it
seems. have despairingly tied the
dog up with the hose and
planted woodpiles in their gar
ems; others have disastrously irri-
gated at random.
But Their are proper moments
for watering the lawn, the Mis-
soula Light & Water company
says. The official explanation of
the schedule is as follows:
All irrigation is limited to the
hours between 6 and IL o'clock in
the morning and and o'clock in
the afternoon
Persons whose street numbers
are odd may irrigate only on odd
days of the month: the first, third,
fifth, seventh and so on.
Persons whose street numbers
are even may irrigate only on even
days OF the month.
All irrigation must cease when
the first whistle sounds and may
not be resumed until a single blast
is given to signify that the fire
