State UtiIizes
New Formula for
Drivers Permits

Renewal dates for Maryland
operators permits will, after
January 1, 1861, be determined
by a new method according to
John r. Jewell, commissioner
Of motor vehicles.
A new state law says that
persons who were born in an
odd-numbered year will hence
forth renew their permits every
two years in an odd-numbered
year.
The same is true for persons
born in even years, who will
now renew their permits in
even years.
The Department of Motor We.
hicles has mailed renewal ap-
phcations to those persons born
in January of an odd year
whose present licenses are more
than a year old. !.
The remainder of the license
renewal procedure remains the
same, including the 81 fee.

The Petit Trianon, planned

There she built her model

Herons were quick to find

marshes where they could fish

Today they include such
strains as the snowy egret
