times when the choker should be

Traffic authorities say there will

fortune for the invalid permit holder.
Old Cards Not Accepted.

That would be bad enough, but
the motorist whose permit has lapsed
may say to himself, IN get another
right away by going down To the
traffic office and filing out an appli-
alton blank"
But right there Is the hitch.
No one. no matter how long he
has driven q car will be granted a

ton of his driving skill. At least

There are various types of lax
permit holders. according to the
| traffic authorities. Chief among them
are said to be those who simply con-
tinue to put off the obtaining of a
new card. Then there Is another
group of persons who seek to save
the proportionate share OF the 50
fee and its interest by waiting sew
eral months.
For this second group the traffic
director takes pencil in hand to
show that they will save cents in
terest at per cent If they walt six
months to renew and as a result
may lose their permits for many
months. or course, the director
points out, these nersons probably
never have thought seriously of the
matter in this light.

sorry insurance never will solve the
problem of highway safety" the state

that a guarantee of financial RESPONSE
bility in the case of an injury or death
will make the chances of injury or
death less remote. To the contrary
he believes that passing the RESPONSE
bility to an insurance company will
result in further carelessness.
Like the A. A. A, he Is not against
insurance. AS a matter of fact, in

membership that appeals to the aver

That the year now drawing to n

cohesive movement among motorists
of the United States which has been
recorded since the automobile became
a factor in transportation Is pointed
out In a statement issued yesterday

throughout the country reflect the
greatest gains recorded In a single

and this thought has been followed by
increasing realization of the import

the tremendous interest in the sub
