Very Young or Very Ole
Now Chief Applicants for
Chauffeurs' Licenses
By c. T. scharps

A great change has been effected in
the general characteristics of those
who are applying for chautfeurs' IL
censes in New York State. Where ior-
merly the applicants were all young
men, getting into the business for
what it offered to them, there are now
three main types of persons looking
for licenses to drive. There are very
many who are just beyond the mini
mum age limit, eighteen years, who are
exempt from the draft. Also, there
are far more than ever before of men
who are beyond the draft age, who
figure they have excellent chances of
employment to fill the places OF men
who have gone away. In this class,
there are men as old as nifty years
who have applied for and have OBJ
tanned their first license to drive pro
fessionally.
The other class is naturally those
who fall in the draft age. They appear
to believe, from statements made to
the examiners, that they will surely be
called to the colors and that they will
have a chance at some service such as
driving truck, ambulance or officers
car if they have the regular ehauf-
feur's license.
With an idea, too, of relieving men
from duty, SO as to leave them free for
army service, there are many more
women applicants for driving licenses
than ever before in the history of the
Automobile Bureau. Some women, too,
have taken out licenses because they
were trying to qualify for ambulance
duty abroad.
There can be no question that the.
draft, taking away as many chauffeurs
as it has, is going to further the own
er-driver idea. Some car owners have
not attempted to fill the place left va
can't by the going of some favorite
driver. Others have decided it would
be a good conservation measure to
start in driving and upkeeping their
cars for themselves. The numbers of
licensed chauffeGrs show great fall
ing off as compared with the total
numbers of cars registered in New
York State. At that there are many
thousands still working at this en-
ployment,
A complete display in miniature Of
the actual processes in refining petro-
leum will be shown to the members of
the Society of Automotive Engineers
at their summer convention, next Mon
Cay and Tuesday at Dayton, Q. Aside
from this, the papers to be read and
discussions to be had at the meeting
will be confined to aircraft.
Car owners should examine rims and
tires at lease once week because
rim with its tire can creep around the
wheel If the shoulders which hold the
domountable rim are the least bit
worn. If the valve stem comes
through the hole in the rim at an
angle, it is because the rim and tire
have crept around. Either tie valve
stem is pulled out by the roots or
else it is cut in two. Either is bad
for the pocketbook of the car owner,
the Goodrich Company comments.
in Tightening rim lugs be sure to
tighten in the correct order. If the
iugs are taken up one after another
around the rim, there is apt to be toe
much space on one side and too little
on the other. Tighten one lug, then
the one which is nearly opposite. and
so on around the wheel.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY

The Food Production Drive which
took much of the time of the County
Agents during April has proven its
value. Farmers we're asked to state,
on pledge sheets prepared for the pur-
pose, the number of acres in certain
staple crops or their farms in 1917 and
tho number they planned for the same
crops in 1918. The response was al
most unanimous where farmers could
be reached. The results for the Gov
ernment will bring Tennessee to "the
front line trenches" of food and feed
production.
