LOWER DRIVING LIMIT
Believe Careful Examination at Is More Fair Than Present Limit

The lowering of the minimum age limit for Connecticut operators of mos tor vehicles to admit carefully exam ined applicants sixteen years old would be more fair than the pres eut law which draws the line at eight cen wears and bars younger operators regularly licensed by other states. says the current issue of the state motor vehicle department bulletin.
 "lt has perhaps not been clear that the motor vehicle commissioner nee essary interpretation on this matter is that in cases where licensed oper- at0rs of another state who are under eighteen are in the state, they are without authorization either under the reciprocity agreement. tacit or stated. or under any direct law. says the publication Any person operating under such circumstances is operating illegally"
 \ recent case apparently involving these principles and which may go Co a high court &s test is cited 'sln that ease. says the bulletin. "a person under eighteen years old authorized to drive by another state actually oper- ated Connecticut registered car in Connecticut and relying on the au- thorization of the other state was ar rested. The Connecticut department on complaint called upon the depart ment of the other state to suspend the operators license of the person there. which was promptly done. and there after Connecticut suspended the right to operate.
 This particular phase Of the law and of the situation gives the state au- thorities a lot of trouble says the bulletin. Tn adjoining states. the age limit at which one may qualify as an operator IS almost uniformly sixteen. while m Connecticut it is eighteen But Connecticut has an enabling clause in the law whereby anyone over sixteen may operate while aecompan- led by licensed operator SO seated in the car as to be able to control 1t. and while under instruction.
 Under this enabling clause it has been the practice to have persons over sixteen to operate indefinitely when accompanied. The matter of instruc- tion has been lost sight of. Should 1t become necessary Co interpret that law. it appears reasonable to expect that a high court would say that the term under instruction" means some thing Probably if the case in which the interpretation is asked has a time element. the court may limit a reason- able time during which instruction might probably be more than name. The law and it's adaptation as it now exists IS not entirely practical until such an interpretation is had. and should one be made it's enforcement would probably be oppressive. and in many eases work hardship

 The incident is cited in the bulletin in connection with discussion of the necessity for close attention to the business of driving hv all peonle in charge of motor vehicles. especially when in the vicinity of railroad crossing. Disregard of signals at crossings including the act Of irving to drive a car over n crossing as gates are being lowered. is condemned
 "ruvt why railroad crossing should be selected as a nroper point at which Co turn q car is hard to say. vet many ears are reported fer this ill judged operation says the bulletin. this is- sue of which Is from the pen of Miss Helen W Traver chief of tho com N ar A a.H.. f.a pArtment She savs that in n small percentnge of eases in which operators are called unon to answer tn com plaints of reckless driving at railroad erossings. the onevnior involved ad nits that he was driving "a hit fast for such n location usually because ke was late for a business engagement or in queet of a doctor

FURNITURE FOR
HOTEL, ADDITION
ARRIVING HERE

VIII Il. Conway, manager OF the
Earhara Worth hotet, states that
three carloads of mMiture have
arrived for the hotel addition and
tine remainder is on the way. The
two upper floors viii be finished by
October -, he believes, and the en-
tire building completed by NoN. /.
Owing TO the amount of furniture
needed and the exclusive makes de
sired, the furnishing of this hotel
attracted the attention of all the
larger coast houses who sent their
representatives to secure the con
tract. The furnishing contract,
however, went to the |. Y. Hard
ware Co., as did that of furnishing
the lobby last winter.
The order has been specially de-
signed in Grand Rapids for the
Barbara Worth, to harmonize with
the interior of the hotel and the
individuality of the valley. The
carpets were made to order and
are now ready to be laid. A great
er part of the furniture is of the
we'll known Sligh make, while the
occasional chairs for each room,
hall furniture and lounge furniture
are all of the exclsivc karpen

The Investigation was started last
