NO ARRESTS OF
YOUNG AUTOISTS
DURING EPIDEMIC

a storm OF protest was raised yes
terday by the action of the sherifrs
office In arresting at this time boys
under tS years Of age who operated
automobiles. The state law provides
tnaL cars may only be operated by Ii
censed drivers and that licenses shaIl
not be issued to persons under the
age OF eighteen.
The criticism was that many boys
VINO are operating cars are doing 50
to assist IN the influenza relief work
and that a. the law has been inopera-
tive since It's passage. more fitting
time might have been chosen for its
enforcement.
1t was intimated that the order for
the arrests came through the recently
appointed vigilance committee. oner-
iii Van Pelt stated that he was not
responsible for 1t and said further
that he would instruct his deputies
not to interfere with boys who are
driving cars for relief work.
