to continue operation of a garage in
the 1300 block North May avenue.

A new financial arrangement with

doesn't take the rest of the test until
he can pass the physical examination.
It's 70, or Out
In fact, if the applicant falls to
make a grade of 70 on any of the
three divisions of the test, he is out
right there for the time being
“This is not funny,” said Wade
Symthe, supervisor in charge of the
examinations. “We find out whether
the applicant is competent to handle
• motor vehicle, and if he's not he's
out.”
The applicant then must pass a
eolor-blind test, or if he cannot dis-
tingunish colors he is given five road
signs to read—signs like "stop." "one
way trafife," etc. If he reads all five
of them and can tell what they mean,
he’s passed. If he misses two, he is
given another five to read. He must
be letter perfect on 7 out of the total
10.
Then he is given a list of 25 ques-
tions,"Wme ne must answer in a 45-
minute written examination—of which
he must answer 17.5 or 18 to pass. In
the first hour of the examinations two
were failed for not knowing the right
answers.
“Well, You'd Better Learn”
The questions determine exhaus-
tively whether the applicant is fami-
liar with all driving laws and his
knowledge of signals, safety devices.

behalf of attorneys for A V Boswell,

It is a very funny joke that Is
being played on the boys who drive
motor vehicles for hire, the cream of
the jest being that when J M. Gen-
try. commissioner of public safety,
promulgated rules and regulations he '
didn't come through with any little
bitty dab.
No, sir, he r'ared back and pro-
mulgated a fine mess, and then
capped the gag by insisting that all
chauffeurs know these rules and reg-
ulations by heart.
And the chauffeurs who came down
to registration headquarters giggling
gaily. went back an hour or more [
after they started with the laugh on
the other side of Gentry's generous
mouth—the side not holding the in-
evitable cigaro.
