LAW CURBS RECKLESS DRIVING
Every Driver Must obtain License;
RevocabIe For carelessness.

Lansing.-A law of far-reaching i'm
portance to motorists, which was
passed in the closing days OF the ses-
sion, is the one requiring every per.
son in Michigan to obtain license
before operating or driving any motor
vehicle in the state
No person under Is years old will
be licensed to drive an automobile ac-
cording to the measure. Every one
handling a car will be required to
make application for license to do
so, and submit to an examination as
to his or her competency and record
as driver before the license Is is
sued.
In cities this examination and the
license shall be issued by the chief of
police, and in the rural districts by
the sheriff or one of his deputies.
1t was pointed out by those sup
porting the measure, in reply to the
charge that 1t would have no effect
in decreasing reckless driving, that
the. teeth OF the thing was the provi-
sion for revocation of the license
when a person should be found guilty
of one of these charges-driving an
automobile when under the influence
OF liquor or drugs; reckiessness which
resulted in some serious damage, or
personal injury.

had shot himself twice above the
heart. They took him to the Passa-
want hospital, and there. after a few
hours, he made a statement.
He had loved the girl ever since he
first came to the boarding house, he
said. There was another woman in
the boarding house who was in love
with him, whom he spurned.
She had told the authorities he was
an alien enemy skilled in the making
of bombs, and they had taken him into
custody and questioned him concern
ing the fatal post Office blast. But he
had been released.
Did you know Miss Jorgensen be-
fore she same TO Chicago. when she
was in Minneapolis?" a policeman
asked him.
Minneapolis isl" he said. THAT'S
where the letter came from.
'Yes," the policeman said. Its
from her sister, Mrs. Frieda Paulson."

UNOFFICIAL RETURNS INDICATES

Week Of Campaign viii Exceed

Washington.-The first two states
IN the Victory loan are Michigan and
Iowa, but thus far officials of the
treasury have been unable to deter
mine which was the first to have the
honor of subscribing its quota. On
the face of unofficial returns, how
over. 1t appears that Michigan is the
banner state.
Treasury officials, in the absence Of
any complete reports refused to esti-
mate the amount that has been sub
scrlbed throughout the nation.
II is believed that the total for the
first week of the campaign exceeds
$500. 100000

Of the drive and reports from COM
