Report Drivers
Licenses Ready
Around July LIST
Drivers Not Having Had
Accidents Will Not Need
Examination

The new drivers licenses will
be ready to issue to drivers by
July l or very soon thereafter,
despite the fact that it will not
become mandatory to have these

learned today from official sources
in Raleigh. Those who wait until
November l or thereafter to OBJ
tain their drivers licenses will
have to pay 81 for each license.
But between July l and Novem-
Der l the licenses may be obtained
without charge.
Persons who have driven an au-
tomobile for year or more with
out ever having had an accident
or without ever having been ar
rested or convicted of violating
any of the traffic laws, will be is
sued a drivers license without any
examination. But those who are
not able to qualify to get a license
without an examination must pass
certain driving tests before obtain
ing their licenses. These driving
tests before-which will also prob
ably include tests for reading
signs, color-blindness, vision and
hearing as we'll as familiarity with
the traffic laws-will be given by
squads of highway patrolmen, &C,
cording to present plans. A squad
of three or four patrolmen Will
probably be assigned to certain
counties and towns on certain
dates to examine applicants for
drivers licenses.
The forms for the licenses have
not as vet been worked out by the
department of revenue, but those
from other states are already be-

lima that will meet conditions here.
It is expected that each license

He cited improved economic

Electrical Speed Cop
Aids Law in Judging
Speeds of Motorists

AMHERST. - The universal
protest of motorists caught speed
ing, but officer, l was only do
ing twenty-five" may soon be a
thing of the past. A new portable
electrical device, measuring the
instantaneous speed of an automo-
bile and lessening the chances of
error on the part of traffic officers
has been perfected by DR.. Harry
r. DeSilva, head of Massachu-
sets State colleges psychology
laboratory here.
Two concentrated beams of light are
thrown across a road by so candle
power lamps operated from an auto
storage battery. These activate two
photoelectric cells in the indicating
instrument. An automobile passing
across the light beams, which are only
Is inches apart, cuts off first one
light beam, charging a condenser in
the recording apparatus, and then, a
fraction of second later, cuts the
second beam, stopping the charging
process. The amount of charge" in
the condenser is translated directly
by the instrument into miles per hour.
Accuracy within two miles per hour
at 60 miles auto speed and within
fraction of mile at 80 miles an hour
is claimed.
By pressing button, the instrument
can be made ready for another speeder.
Accuracy is not the only virtue of the
device, for it can be carried about in
the rear Of car, and set up at will
to measure speeds on curves, inter-
sections, and places where other meas.
uring devices are not easily adapted
to efficient use.
