them subject to arrest for operating
their cars without the proper plates.
The prevalent idea that because one
has sent in his application for IL
cense makes them immune from ar
rest is all wrong in order to operate
a car legally. it must be provided
with the right license numbers.
There has always been a number
of persons who have held off until
the last minute with the purchasing
of their licenses and only when they
were compelled to get them did they
do so. There have also been many
cases where fine stretch of weather
would show up and the car owner
would like to take his gas wagon out
for a drive, only to be held back by
the fact that he had failed to secure
his license and quick move was then
made to get it. A certain local man
finding himself suddenly called to
make a trip of something like go
miles early last spring quickly made
out as application for a license and
slipped it in the postoffice and on the
following morning started out on the
trip. He was stopped several times
and confronted with the fact that he
was running on last years license,
but on relating the fact that he had
already sent in his application and
was waiting for his license, he got
through and back home all right. As
a matter of fact. he had sent it in,
but it had not left the local post
office Sunday night when he returned.
There is sure to be large demand
for licenses along about the first of
the year and you will save delay and
may save yourself fine and trouble
if you take this tip and fill out your
application at any of the numerous
notary public offices and send it in
