That Drivers License Bill

Governor Ross Sterling has been petitioned by men,
bers of the senate to submit to the present session Of the
Legislature the question of licensing drivers of automobiles
in Texas.
A bill which would have forced every operator of
such vehicles to pass certain tests and to obtain a license
from the state was killed during the regular session by
the house.
1t is to be hoped that the governor will accede to the
petition and present the matter.
1t is further to be hoped that the legislature will see
the wisdom of the passage of some sort of regulatory
measure that viii place at least some restrictions on the
operators of motor vehicles.
Principal argument advanced against the bill which
failed to pass the house in the course of the regular ses-
rights which the limiting of the right to operate motor
vehicles to those who could pass the prescribed test would
impose.
Texas is one Of the few states which fails to make
operators of motor vehicles pass some kind of a test to
determine their fitness to guide a machine which carries
with it such possibilities of danger not only to the occu-
pants, but to others.
We have no doubt but that by far the great majority
Of those who today are driving automobiles could pass any
test which might be imposed. If they could not pass the
test today, they would be able to pass it with a very little
study of rules of the road and what to do in emergencies.
Very fact that the test would force many to study
the operation of cars with a view to determining their
possible action in event Of emergency and danger is one Of
the most potent arguments that can be advanced for the
passage Of a drivers license law.
1t would harm none of us to be forced to brush up
every little while on rules of the road, traffic ordinances,
hand signals and the like. Surely all will agree that the
more motorists who are familiar with these things, the
fewer accidents there will be.
And, Of course, there is the other argument, that
drivers will be more careful in the operation Of Their
machines il they face the possibility Of losing their license
in event of accident in which they were at fault.
Valley counties whose highways are literally covered
with automobiles should back the proposal to the limit.
our accident toll is high. Anything that will help cut
down that toll should receive our hearty support.

Texas Has More People Than Cows

Bascom NJ. Timmons writes that the day when Texas
has less than a COW per capita has arrived; that in 1880
for the first time since Texas was a republic, there were
more people in Texas than there were COWS on the range.
According to the figures made public by the census bu-
reau, there were 5.S24, 715 in Texas in 1880 as compared
with 5,567.175 cattle. Moreover in the decade between
1920 and 1880 the number Of people in the Lone Star state
Increased by ~1,360,4S7 and the number of cattle decreased

Recent research carried on IN

minerals are concerned primarily
with the building Of blood. but also
with other processes OF growth and

iron and copper are important, but
there seem to be some question
as to the exact parts played by
manganese, zinc, nickel and other

Holes In One Are
Made Tn Tourney

CLOUDCROFT, N. M, June 30
(UP)-A hole-in-one is a rarity in
golf tournament, but two of them
were made in a tournament here.
What made these aces more
strange was that they we're made
on the same hole in the same match
of one of the match plays.
On the first round of the 18-hole
match, Paul Heisig scored an ace
on the 100-yard sixth hole. Coming
back over the course again in the
second round of play in the same
match, Burgess Collier dropped his
spade-mashie shot into the cup.
No. 6, three par hole, is a blind
one. To get to the green one has to
lift the ball over a hill. The flag
cannot be seen from the tee.
