OUT WHERE THE WEST BEGINS

; @ @-(By Arthur Chapman)| @
Out where the handcasps a little stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little longer,
That's where the West begins;
Out where the sun is a little brighter,
Where the SHOWS that fall are a trife whittier.
Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trihe bluer,
Out where friendships a little truer,
That's where. the West begins;
Out where a fresher breeze is blowing,
Where there's laughter in every streamlet flowing,
Where there's more of reaping and less Of sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in the making,
Where fewer hearts with despair are aching,
That's where the West begins;
Where there's more of singing and less of signing,
Where there's more of giving and less of buying,
And a man makes friends without half trying,
That's where the West begins.

MAKE EVERY CAR OPERATOR PASS '
 EXAMINATIONS

In a considerable number of states the individual operator is not required to take out any license. Registration of the car is all that is necessary. In many states the operator has to aD- ply for license, but the privilege IS granted to almost anyone. In some states public sentiment demands not merely that each operator be H- censed, but that they all pass an ex- animation and show real competence.
 Theoretically, the last named meth ed IS correct People ought not to be let loose on the highway to man age powerful and dangerous vehicle like an automobile. unless they un- derstand how to handle it, or unless while learning they are accompanied by a competent driver.
 The trouble with the licensing sys- tenn is that the majority of accidents are caused not by inexpert beginners. but by competent drivers who have a disposition to take chances These operators could easily pass any kind of an examination. But no exantn. ing board could guarantee that thev would use caution.
 The licensing system is very useful to this extent, that it preserves record of the individual operator. The tact that an operators license may be revoked or suspended if he does not use care, is a great check on him. Many people believe that these suspensions should occur much more frequently than they do. A state that does not require the individual operator to be licensed, can, of course reach somewhat the same result by suspending the license of the car.
 So many people are driving cars who are either unable or unwilling to operate them according to law, that public sentiment is likely to demand stricter laws and enforcement Of them. The need for this will in crease as automobiles become still more common
