FRED 1. JENNINGS SOUTHOLD , L. I. TEL. SOUTHOLD 1 RIVERHEAD MOTOR SALES Successors to Cornwell Motor Sales 'Co. ROANOKE AVE., RIVERHEAD ' TELEPHONE 246 ISSUE LICENSES TO JUNIOR OPERATORS , Governor Smith Signs Bill At Urgent Request of Granges and People in Ru r a l Districts. . In the enactment of a law permit- ting the issuance of opera tors ' or chauffeurs ' licenses to persors be- tween 16 and 18 years of age , the State still adheres to the general policy of making 18 years the mini- mum age of those authorized to oper- ate motor vehicles on the public high- ways. The exception made in the *ict which Governor Smith has just signed is the result of the urgent re- quest of various granges and persons in rural districts who supply cream- eries with milk. Prior to Jul y 1, 1924 , no one in the State , outside of New York city, was required ito secure an operator ' s li- cense to drive an automobile for pleasure. After January 1 , 192 5 , all new applicants for licenses to oper- ate cars were required to take exam- inations as to fitness and efficiency. In recent months the state authori- ties have been overwhelmed with re- quests from the rural districts for a modification of the age minimum. It was argued that the 18-year restric- tion deprived young men and women under 18 of the opportunity of secur- ing a High school education because they could not operate a car between their homes and the schools. It also was contended that farmers were de- prived of the services of their sons who , prior to the enactment of the Motor Vehicle law , ' were assisting them in driving milk trucks to the creamery or railroad station. The new legi slation is not manda- tory. It permits the issuance of li- censes to junior operators, subject to regulations established by the Com- missioner of Motor Vehicles , but such licenses will not permit holders to drive cars in New York city or to operate motor vehicles except in trav- eling to and from school or in the or- dinary pursuit of the business of the parents or guardians of the licensees. \As the new law takes effect im- mediately, \ Charles A. liarrett , Com- missioner of Motor Vehicles , said to- day, \I have adopted a policy by which I will not act favorably on any application , except as follows: \Applications of those who are nt ' east sixteen years of age and who tan ¦ nrove it by a birth certificate; who live in a strictly rural commun- ity, which community is deprived of any bus or rail service , and where the distance between the school and the home of the applicant is more than a mile , ard who , after all these points have been conclusively shown , can then demonstrate their ability to op- erate a motor vehicle. \Second , applications ox boys un- der ei ghteen and over sixteen, who can furnish .proof of birth ; who can move to the satisfaction of the de- Dartmer.t that they were engaged heretofore in assistirg their parents ->n the fa rm where such is . in a strictl y rural community, or who can orove that since July 1 , 1924 , the op- eration of the Motor Vehicle Law has irevented them from rendering such service , a,; indicated , and who can Vitality in driving a machine. \ App lications for junior operator ' s licenses will be received at the office of the Commissioner of Motor Ve- hicles in Albany, and not at the of- fice of any district director or county clerk. A special affidavit will be re- quired and a limited license will be issued , and it is expected these will be ready about April 25. No one under 18 years of age will be allowed to operate a motor vehicle without i junior operator ' s license . BE FAIR WITH EACH OTHER (By E BWIN QnEEK) President Gree r College of Automo- tive Engiroering, Chica go. - \Hoy \ yelled the motorist to the pedestrian whom he had just knocked down and run over , \Take a look at my brake* and see if they ' re drag- ging, will you?\ ?oni\what overd rawn possibly biu any i,^«itrfar. wil! t»\ yon that he wouldn 't put it above an automobile driver to , do such a thing. And the motorist , himself, would say: Why don 't those birds ' watch their step, do they think that we are mind readers? Kight here is the whole situation- lack of courtesy. ,,, ' ,. Roes the pedestrian thank the mo- torist who throws on his brakes and allows him to cross safely from the curb and catch a trolley that is to get hini to the train on time? Yes , we have no bananas ! Does the auto- mobile driver wave acknowledgment to tho pedestrian who goes out of his wa# to make .things easier when the car driver is trying to steer through a congested street? No, he does not ! Coi sequently both driver and pedes- trian are to blame and a little cour- tesy would aid them to shield the public from preventable traff ic acci- dents. But there is no excuse for the jay- walker. A large percentage of acci- dents in the congested shopping dis- tricts are directly traceable to the disregard of the public that cross at street corners. My advice to pedestrians is to look up and down and behind , before crossing any street. Avoid dodglrg in front of machines , realize that the longest line of traffic seldom takss more than thirty seconds to pass and that it is better to lose thirt y sec- onds than a leg. Even the habitually careless automobile driver will have trouble in harming you if you take the slight amount of care necessary to protect yourself. Just plumb your faith of human- ity tark with the old Golden Rule and see how it works out. Take a chance and give the other fellow the righ t of way, even when it doesn 't belong to him , or give him the \ go-ahead\ sig- ral. It' s a huhdred-to-ono shot that he 'll grin and wave for you to go first. But the moral effect will cause him to watch out for the next driver and offer some little courtesy that will make this othe r chap feel good. Once such a system is started there won ' t be any end to it and the roads will be a wordcrf ul place to ride on until along comes some bird who has no place to go and wants to get there in a hurry, and then—it is all off. All off , unless you realize that sooner or later this bird will run up against a snag which will necessitate some extra yards of gauze and a couple of doctors. ¦ In other words do your best to make driving >5afer and the law of averages will take care of the rest .

Hoffman as vice- president in charge of sales to suc- ceed H. A. Biggs , resigned. Mr. Hoffman entered the employ of the Studebaker Corporation in 1911 as a salesman in Los Angeles. In 1915 he was made sales manager of the Los Angeles retail'branch , and in 1917 , branch mnnnger of the Los An- geles district. He served in the artillery division of the army in 1917-18 , and upon leaving it in March. 1919 , purchased from the corporation its retail busi- ness at Los Angeles and became a Studebaker dealer on his own uccount. The Paul G. Hoffman company, start- ing business with $60 , 000 capital , now has $1 , 500 , 000 assets. In securing Mr. Hoffman for the important position of vice-president in charge of sales , President Erskine feels that hp has obtained a man ideally suited for the work. Mr. Hoffman ' s headquarters will be at the gcrcral office at South Bend , In- diana. He has been elected a direc- tor of the corporation and a member cf its executive and finance commit- tees. P. G.

GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE AMMETER The ammeter , the lear>t understood dial on the instrument board of a motor car , is in many ways the most important. Few automobile owners , however, understand the- story the ammeter tells as the miles fly b y. The am- meter is the guardian of the whole electrical system of the car , .particu- larl y during extreme of winter cold and summer heat , and is con nected . 'to every bit of electrical apparatus with the sole exception of the starting mo- tor. If you get acquainted with the am- meter it will tell you at- a glance whether or not the whole system is functioning n roperly. It will tell you if there is a short circuit in the line; it will warn you in a moment if the geiii'ia!. - ,!' fails :» function. An understanding glance at the inn meter every 20 miles or so is a trouble saver of great iniporiarce. When the motor is started , and everything is working propirly, ' the little hand moves over to a certain spot on the charging Bide and there it invariabl y redts—varying in location with the speed of the car—until something goes wrorg in the elec- trical system, if one of the head- lights goes out the ammeter shows a ^ lieht increase in the charging rnte; if the ' generator fails to function for any reason, the hand swings away jver to the d ischarge side and the driver knows that the whole load is being carried by the battery. The ammeter never shows the full low of electricity from the generator , but it docs indicate the amount of electricity that is flowing into or out jf the battery, hence the importance of the tell-tale current indicator and its abilit y to tell what is going on all alon g the line. The layman might ask wh y it i? imnnrtnnf in Vrmi . t . - +V.n nv-ift inj-n-fr. when the generator ceases to func- tion as lone as the car will keep on rurn ' ng with the current from the battery. One in-fTortant reason is that if the generator fails due to broken leads in or outride, it should be given immediate attention or it will burn out and entail considerable axpense for repairs. If he also knew that a fully charged battery would :urn his engine ovei for IS minutes ;n summer , but for only five minutes >r less when the temperature was at ^ro , the ammeter tip might also in- duce him to crank the cor by hand and thus conserve the energy of the battery. Tne generator is the uhuie BUUILC of suppl y of electricity and it keep/ 1 the entire system in operation , out it requires littl e , if any attention , from the driver. It i.. important to know ' .hat the elctv::::! ?\tout of the gen- erator may be varied on Chevrolet cars by what is krown as third brush adjustment , for the car consumes more electricity in cold weather than it does in warm and the generato r should be adjusted according l y by one who is experienced in doing this kind of work. . • It is easy to know when generator adjustment is required , for the bat- (Continued or wee 10) WHY THE^A^ E T V IORE THAPT A MILLION Buick ' s/ \ ; Spperior Performance Every day a Buick owner realizes more and more the greater safety of Buick mechanical 4-wheel brakes , the extra reserve of power in the Buick Valve-in-head eng ine , and the easier steering and parking that result from Buick' s ball-bearing, worm and nut steering mechanism .
