Raleigh, Oct 26.-The prominent
"pIay' given by many newspapers to
recent ruling Of the attorney gen.
! cral that con IS have no authority
! to revoke automobile driving per-
! mitS is causing the State Highway
Safety Division no little anguish
these days.
No sooner had the article hit the
street than scores Of those whose
licenses have been taken away from
them upon conviction of drunken
driving or other kindred Offense set
themselves down and wrote irate
letters demanding return OF thcr
permits.

legally, l want it back Immediately
if not sooner" was the general giSt
Of these letters.
OF course, none has been return
cd and none will be. The Mcmillan
ruling was surprising only in that
it was given at all. Even Il casual
reading OF the automobile laws re-
vcals that revocation Of the license
is within the province and purVleW
of the State Highway Safety Division
of the Department Of Revenue and
not as direct result O. court man
date.
The result actually, is the same.
A court cannot revoke license by
legal decree; but equally as impor-
tant, it cannot prevent administra-
tive revocation as an automatic re-
suit OF conviction for an offcnse in
the category calling for revocation.
Thus the A. G.. opinion added
nothing to the store of human knOWl-
edge, nor changed by so much as a
jCl Ire status OF anyone whose IL
ccnsc has been revoked as an after
math OF conviction in court Of
North Carolina or other state.
Even the Supreme Court which
probably takes fewer legal holidays
than any other governmental agency,
will not hold d session On election

the ball seemed to burst open with
a loud splash, and four excited OF
tiers with their bright, eager eyes
well above the water, started
swimming round one another. One
leaped right out of the stream and
over its companions to dive on the
other side, and as they floated
along this acrobat made circles
around them, those below trying to
grip it as it passed over. Then
they all joined up again, and
seemed to be having a struggle a.
to which could pull the others un-
der the surface, a sort Of spirited
ducking game.
They continue to play until all
are tired. Then the parents lead
their young off to well-hidden
lair, where they all sleep until
hunger and high spirits call again.

Springtime Is Season Of Joy

With Nature in Her Gayest Mood, animals
Enjoy Their O,un Games and Frolics.

CPRINGTIME in the wilds is
- playtime. The majority of our
mammals have their young in the
early months of the year, and in
April and May it is possible to
watch the most delightful games
among the puppies of the fields.
Badger, fox and otter cubs are
very playful little creatures. The
otter and badger appear to have
a certain amount of method in
their games, but fox cubs simply
romp among themselves in wild
abandon.
On sloping sand cliff near my
home seven fox cubs came out of
a large hole; on the ledge just
outside they played with round
stone, pushing it with their feet,
tossing it in the air and allowing
it to run down the slope.
When tired of this they played
a game which resembled Follow
the Leader" One would run for
ward, dodge and leap over all
kinds of imaginary obstacles, and
the others would follow in its
tracks; then all would roll togeth-
er in rough and tumble, in which
their small teeth would tug at the
fur of their companions.
Bouncing Badgers.
Young badgers are among the
most amusing cubs to watch at
play. With their bold black and

that they thoroughly enjoy life, and
their play is exuberant and siren
uous.
First they poke their noses in
the ground, searching for hidden
grubs; then, without any warning,
all stiffen their fur, making it
stand upright, and now they look
twice their size. With their short
legs also stiffened they bounce
round one another like footballs,
then leap in, grip mouthful of
fur, and roll over and over. They
break apart, and again play the
bouncing game, and just as sud-

cease, and the next moment all
are diligently searching for more
