PER CENT IfflRE CIRCULAtlQH to scour 'the SB 'for violators ot the law, there has been an Increase of more than 100 per cent in applications for nutomubile and chauffers' licenses, according to W. W. Wilier, Jn charge of the autoiaoblle department "-Secretary of State's office. There -were 4,383 more automobile-' registrations from July 16 to August Ib this year than in the same of time in 1920. From an average of 75 applications for chauffers' licensees during the same time last year, ther Is now an average of 150 a day.

Rural automobile owners were the greatest violators of the license law. Hundreds of merchants down state were found to be employing Doys under 18 years These boys wer mostly high school too youni to qualify chauffers license Many automobile owners locatet away from the main toads, and who only used'their machines to drive to nearby town, failed to register fcr license plates It is in the rural districts that lite investigators doing mos work," said Mr. Miller. smal town officer finds it a disagreeable task to tthe motor vehicle law among close acquaintances The investigators have police power In any part qf the atrle, and their co-operation has 'been welcomed by local police." The city motorist found the greatest violator of speed laws The hardest part of the law to enforce is 'that requiring motorists to film their lights within 2BO -feet of an ipproaching machine. This neglect probably causes the number accidents from driving, ac- sording to Investigators reports.

"A strange source of help in forcing the vehicle law," Mr. Miller laid, "is anonymous letters fronT disgruntled motorists tattling on neighbors. all of these reports prove true." The Investigators are doing much Bd ucatlonal Few motorists, Instance, know what to do when-they loose one or both plates. The investigator that stops them will tell them that -all 'that is-necessaryis to a dollar to $he" automobile de- of the secretary of State's office for a duplicate plate.
