The state automobile association a t Utica last week went on record as opposed to any change in the age lim it for automobile drivers, which under the new motor vehicle law is fixed at eighteen years. This action probably -due to the preponderance o f city clubs in the association, will not be generally approved in the xural sections of the state, where the •eighteen year limit in many cases unquestionably works real and un necessary hardship. The movement £or an amendment to the law fixing sixteen years as the age limit for ■^rivers is strong, and it has reason dsd justice behind it. It is extremely doubtful if statis- \Sacs would show any larger propor- Jfcion of accidents to motor vehicles •driven by persons between sixteen suid eighteen years of age and those ■of any other age classification. Any -number of boys, and girls too, less ill an eighteen years of age are com petent drivers, and if anything they are probably somewhat less likely to 3 >rove reckless and over-confident than those just a few years older, j There are thousands of boys on the farms of this state who at six teen are filling a man’s place and doing a man’s work. Twenty years ago the farm boy of sixteen who wasn’t competent to handle a good team of horses would have been con sidered deficient. It takes no more skill or judgment to guide a flivver Utan a team, but our paternal gov- -efnment holds apparently that all persons under eighteen are deficient. Unquestionably there are boys of sixteen and seventeen who should not be (trusted with an automobile, but so there are such boys of twenty, nrtrf men of fifty, for that matter, and as many of them. There is hardly a neighborhood in the farming sections of this state where boys and girls of sixteen and seventeen were not beforo enactment of this law performing useful serv ice with motor cars in sucli errands as delivering milk or other product1 to market. There is hardly a rural high school that did not have stu dents less than eighteen years of age who went to and from the daily sessions in the family car. The pro portion of accidents among such drivers was not unduely high, and a law that makes it criminal for them, to drive a car is unreasonable nnd oppressive. This objection to the present mo tor vehicle law was forseen when it Tvras before the legislature last win ter. The assemblyman from this county was one of those who opposed! tbe age limit feature of the bill, but G-ovemof Smith's insistence on keep ing it at eighteen years or withhold ing his approval of it, coupled with the unquestioned need of some of the other provisions of the bill car ried it through.

The day o f the Holding Company is here. Any investor, whether he has $1000 or $100,000, may purchase its stocks and bonds, comfort able in the knowledge that he will not only be placing his surplus —funds where they will b» extremely safe, but where they will pay him a perfectly fair and comparatively high return on his money. The Strength of a Holding Company lies in the diversity of its in terests. The well organized Holding Company also enjoys this diver sity of interest because, as a money earning and managing organiza tion, it flnnances and operates maray different companiesin many differ ent lines of \ endeavor, located in widely separated communities.
