RICHMOND Va, April l8.-The

with reference to chauffeurs' licenses.
The old law provides: ANY person
other than the owner whose principal
duty or occupation is the driving of a
motor vehicle for compensation, shall
purchase a chauffeurs license" The
new law provides that ANY person
other than the owner whose principal
duty or occupation requires him to
drive . motor vehicle, shall take out
q chauneur's license"
Many letters are being received each
day by the Division Of Motor Vehicles
requesting that exception be made TO
this or that class Of drivers but the
attorney general has advised the d.
rector Of the Division Of Motor We
hicles that he Is without power TO sus-
pend the law in any case where a
persons principal duty or occupation
requires him to drive a motor vehicle
In many sections of the State oper-
ators OF trucks and other vehicles are
not aware Of the fact that there has
been q change in the law and for this
reason the Division OF Motor Vehicles
has requested the press Of the State TO
bring the matter 10 the attention Of

TO PROVE EXPENSIVE
Uneven Functioning Of Cylinders

Rear.End Parts.

"A fact little known to the average

end repair Jobs" according to Edmund
Q. Carl, local service station manager.

that the car must hit on all cylinders.
Many thousands Of times In the course
Of o mile, the uneven functioning Of

every moving part Of the car, but the
rear end parts suffer most Of all and
usually result in expensive repair bills"
1T Is important" continued Mr. Carl,
to periodically check over the motor In
order to make certain that it is hitting
regularly"
As proof Of his statement, Mr.. Carl
called attention to the feet Of cars
operated by his corporation, pointing
out that rarely in the corporations en-
