Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Aug. 21.-Revocation of
81 drivers licenses last week brough
North Cardinals grand total to 49,
359.
AS usual, drunken driving was far
out in front as leading cause of
revocation; but hit and run driving,
prevalence of which Safety Division
Director Ronald Hocutt recently de-
plored, was responsible for half
dozen. Driving after license had been
revoked caught two, while perjury
and two offenses of reckless driving
led to one revocation each.
Will, the faithful messenger man
and general factotum at the Reve-.
nue. Department building, brought
the list of revocations down to this
bureau through a driving rain which
had been pouring steadily down for
many hours.
"How are you, WHIP" he was
greeted as he came in.
'Huh, if this keeps up any longer
I'll be web-footed,' came back the
OCJCCICO, OUL 1SdSy 1SCO1 y.
, Oldest driver to lose his license
last week was SO, youngest was only
II. Both were caught driving drunk.
Most-charged was a Bostic man
whose right to drive was taken away
for driving drunk, reckless, assault
with deadly weapon and the
"whole-bo allegation that he
violated the traffic act
Three women lost the drivers
licenses, all for driving drunk. Two
of the three were convicted in coun-
ty court at Salisbury, where it seems
that court was holding a real traffic
law" session. No less than 18 revo-
cations were ordered there, either in

Down through the centuries the
styles of women have been a mar
vel of swift change, constantly
showing wonderful originality and
inventiveness in the adjustment of
personality to line and color. But
at last the men have gone them

easily. almost unconsciously. They
have simply pulled their shirt tails
out.
Daring? Not much, but back in
the gay nineties it would have
taken somebody with the nerve of
Jesse James to have dared break
the established rule of keeping the
shirt tail under cover. But nova
days the men pull their shirt tails
out and go about their business.
They probably don't consider it
daring at all; it's just more COM
