 Seven restrictions are placed upon the operation of taxi ser vice that have not heretofore been in effect.

 (e) For the purpose of secur- ing passengers while cruising;
 (f) On any trip that exceeds twenty five miles (25) from point of origin to point of destin ation;
 (g) Without distinctly mark ing every such taxicab to indie ate that it Is a taXicab
 Every person engaged in taxi service in the territory, as else where in the United States, shall keep a daily record of the num- Der of miles and hours each taxi cab used in such service is op- erated, the number of passengers carried and the gallons of fuel transferred to it's fuel tank, and shall keep such records and make such reports as may be re- quired by the Office of Defense Transportation.

not remember he had not had

required food. He came 10 the

took Junior Ballard in. Hunter
sighed. He hardly knew why.
He felt sorry for the family: may

asked for the information desk as

motor was jammed against a tree.
One casing had blown out. 1he
door was open. Hunter made an
examination of the spot. looked
and found bloodstains in the
wrecked car. His discovery did
not simplify the general mystery.
All Hunter could deduce was that
Junior had come home by the
back way. had been either 30 in
toxicated or nearly dead he had
had a wreck. by sheer strength he
had got to the office, no doubt
looking for Hunter; and then he
had passed out.
What a bunch OF fools these

He drove on to the house. In the
kitchen he got breakfast.
Afterward he went TO the Of
