CHILDREN DRIVING AUTOS.

The last Legislature reduced thes
age limit of drivers from sixteen tn
fifteen years. Persons under fifteen
may drive if they are accompanies
by duly licensed chauffeur, or by thez
owner, or by competent person over
fifteen authorized by the owner tos
accompany the driver, provided the
owner is over fifteen.
With schools in session, there Is N
temptation to let youngsters drive the.
car. The Minnesota law is unusual
ly liberal, and no boy or girl shoulR
be allowed to drive unless he or She
comes within the provisions of the
law.
Even if they are over the age im=-
it, boys and girls should be carefully
instructed in the traffic rules and the.

GARAGE MEN TO REPORT
DAMAGED CARS.

The state law requires every per-
son in charge of garage or repair
shop to report to the police or sheriff
Immediately, and to the registrar of
motor vehicles within twenty-four
hours, any car which shows evidence
of having been in a serious accident
or struck by bullet.
Such reports may be of great help
to the oplice and sheriffs in their eff
forts at law enforcement. Stolen
cars may often be identified, and &C.
casionally criminals may be appre-
hended, through such information.
The report should be made even if
the garageman knows that the own
er is a law-abiding citizen. In such
cases the reports will be used only
for statistical purposes.

Way Battle Forecast
Maneuvering of Politicians
Seen as Postmasters
Open Convention.

Postmaster General Harry S.
New came to Indianapolis from
Washington this noon and imnedi-
ately became too busy greeting post
masters here for their tri-State con-
vention to talk the politics which
his friends had said was the princi-
pal magnet which drew him here.
Absolutely no politics whatever"
declared New as he got off the train
and shook hands with the postal
reception committee. II came here
upon a promise made months ago
to these postmasters and expect to
enjoy myself and profit by an ex-
change of ideas"
New went to the Columbia Club,
where he will have headquarters
until Thursday when he goes to
Detroit
New is in favor of an Indiana del
egation to the Republican national
convention of 1923 instructed for
denomination of Calvin Coolidge for
President. Watson is in favor of al
most anything else, his friends be-
lieving that with delegation he
could control he might be in position
to let "the lightning strike in case
the convention got tied up.
In the background hoyered
United States Senator Arthur r.
Robinson, uneasy over his own for
tunes. Robinson will be up for re-
election in 1928 and former Mayor
Charles w. Jewett of Indianapolis
is becoming a formidable opponent.
Jewett and New have been the
closest of friends for many years.
Jewett also is rallying the support
of number of minor Republican
factions, the whole developing into
an anti Watson Robinson move
ment.
Watson, who has been touring the
State, was expected from Michigan
City by motor.
Watson was expected to establish
a camp in the Claypool, where the
postmasters are meeting, New was
to stay at the Columbia Club, his
habitual headquarters when in his
home city.
