NEW CHANGES IN i.
STATE MOTOR ACT
CONTEMP LATED
State Automobile association
Receives Secen Suggestions
Which VIII Haze Important
Effect on Motorists.
CRy United PreSS)

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 22.-Sevsral
important changes in the California
state motor vehicle act, which was re-
vised at the las session of the state
legislature, will be presented to
general conference under the auspices
of the State Automobile association,
meeting here today.
These changes include:
A provision whereby police judges
or justices of the peace have the op-
ton of fining or sending to Jail per-
sons convicted OF drlvin gan automo-
bile while intoxicated, or binding the
accused over to the grand jury for
indictment on felony charge. The
present law makes driving a car
while intoxicated a felony.
A provision giving the motor car
ascending grade the right of way
over a descending car when they meet
n place too narrow to pass. This
provision would require the descend
ing car to back until a wide place in
he read could be found.
A provision making it attn indict-
able n:isdemeanor to use an automo-
! bile without the owners consent.
This change in the present law,
which makes "joy-riding' felony is
necessary because, according to Presi-
dent Burton A. Towene of the auto
mobile association, juries refuse to
convict young people on felony charg-
es for such offenses.
A provision forbidding carrying
baggage on the les hand side of "a
car.
A provision giving non-residents
as hours instead of "a hours as at
present, to register their motor car:
on entering the state.
Levying OF a small fee for the is.
guance Of drivers licenses, now is.
sued without charge. The money
thus derived would be used for the
employment of not less than 100 in
/ spectors to enforce state laws.

Vacation Earnings Start Great
Careers.

One of the most interesting de-
velopments of the times is the
growing custom of vacation work
by the boys and girls of the South

year. 1t 10 said that recently
there were 800 boys and girls from
the high schools of Atlanta look.
ing for work in this city and a
number were looking for work in
the country. They were willing
to do farm work, saw mill work,
orchard work or work in stores
and shops of the city.
These boys and girls, when
they have completed their educa.
ton, will know how to make
their work count in a big way.

culture, tells of the red-headed
boy who graduated from the At
lanta High School q few years
ago and is now making 5000 a
year on farm. He went from
the Boys High School to the State
College of Agriculture and there
spent four years in the study of
scientific farming. After that he
went on q farm and worked hard.
In q few years he became a very
successful farmer and last year
won q prize OF 81 600 for the best
