DRIVERS LICENSE
NOW ON SALE
MADE AVAILABLE AT OF.
FICE OF COUNTY
JUDGE

Drivers licenses for auto
mobiles went on sale, officially,
yesterday morning in the office of
County Judge Raymond r. Lord,
and by this morning IL o'clock
there had been upwards of $50
sold.
Regular chauffeurs are sold
the cards for 81 and drivers of
cars are charged so cents. For a
private car which is driven by
more than one there must be a
separate license for each opera
tor. Therefore if car is driven
at one time by husband,
another time by his wife and
again by his son or daughter,
each driver must have a license.
The person to whom the card
is issued is very accurately de-
scribed as to color of eyes, sex,
color of hair, height and weight,
all of which data is displayed on
the card and the descriptions
must fit the driver at the time
the inspection is made.
Hence it will be readily seen
that there are some family cars
which are driven at various
times by members of a family
which will require four or more
cards ir drivers licenses.
= Ti1erCsigave been issued by tax
collector Frank H. Laid approx
mately 1850 licenses in Key
West, but if the law is carried
out and the driver of car must
conform to the description in the
card at the time the investigation
is made, it can readily be seen
that the number of drivers
licenses issued in this county
will be far in excess of the num-
Der of automobile tags issued.

Yesterday English planes flew
over the Ruhr coal, iron mine

SUBS IN CARIBBEAN

Submarines have been reported
off Porto Rico and also off the
East Coast of Florida, the latter
reports from charter boatmen
who claim that the submarine
was slowly proceeding on the
surface but upon sighting the
charter boat made off swiftly. On
the German steamship, "Colum-
bus" which made a landing this
week in Cuba, it is quite certain
that the commander of the vessel
received orders presumably in a
box sent over the side from the
deck of a submarine which at
first followed the ship for some
time and then pulled along
side.

Fire DESTROYS
Morton Barn
MACHINE SHED LOST,
SILO DAMAGED ON
ALBERT MEHL FARM

Fire of unknown origin COM
pletely destroyed the barn and
machine shed on the farm of Al
bert Mehl, one mile north of Nor
ton on the Olivia road, Monday
evening. Damage was estimated
at $1,000, but insurance was ex-
pected to cover most of the loss.
All machinery and animals, with
the exception of five kittens, were
saved. The house was unframed.
Mr.. Mehl had just finished
milking and was separating in his
basement about Z p. m. when
strangers, driving by, stopped to
tell him his barn was in flames.
The Morton fire department was
summoned and the travellers and
.neighbors aided MIR. Mehl in re-
moving animals and machinery.
The fire had gained such head
way, however, that the. fire de-
partment, hampered by a shortage
of water, was unable to save the
buildings.
The direction of the wind fav-
ored the men in removing mach
inery and kept the full force of
the flames from the silo. 1t did aid
the fire, however, along with the
fact that the upper part of the
barn burned first and lower doors
were open, giving perfect draft.
The barn was completely gone
less than half hour from the
time the fire started.
Hay, spread around in the loft
to dry, contributed greatly to the
speed of the fire.
The silo, a concrete structure,
was left standing, but is believed
to be nearly a total loss. 1t was
possible to crumble some of the
concrete blocks with the hand and
Mr.. Mehl stated that he believed
it would have to be rebuilt.
Mr.. Mehl complimented the
speed of the Morton fire depart
ment. He said that he started to
the barn from the house, dis
lance of $50 TO 200 feet. When
about halfway there, he called to
Mrs. Mehl asking her to call the
fire department. BY the time he
had reached the barn, the siren
was sounding. Neighbors voiced
the same opinion, remarking that
the department reached the scene
at nearly the same time they did.
The buildings were of frame
construction, and had been built
about ten years ago. Mr.. Mehl
bought the farm from Charles
Lyons two years ago. He plans to
rebuild as soon as possible.
