GO0D AT DRIVING BAD AT FIGURES Applicants for State. Licenses File Queer Information Judging from their, own signed statements to the state motor vehicle | department, not a few Connecticut motor vehicle operators’ evidently spent the year 1926 driving back- wards. 2 On the. application blanks for | operators’ licenses appears the question, “Approximate number of | miles you have operated a motor vehicle?” space provided for an answer to this question that he had driven approxi- mately 40,000 miles. The clerk be- hind the desk, in ckecking with his last year's license, discovered ‘uat when he applied for a 1926 license a year ago he-declared that he had driven 60,000 1giles. Another man’s application showed that he had lop- ped off 5,000 mifes from the driving record he claimed a year ago and a third had subtracted 15,000 miles from his driving experience in a year. On the other hand, a man whe stated in his 1926 application that he had driven approximately 20,000 miles came in this year with an ap- plication saying that he had now driven a half million miles. If both applications were correct, this man must have operated motor vehicles 430,500 miles in the past year, which would be at the rate of not than 1,300 miles every day of vear, and, from the time he got his nse to tlie time he applied for 1927 license, he must ven continuously, day and night, with no time out for meals or sleep, at a rate of 54 miles an hour. His 1927 application, therefore, was voluntary admission that he had been busy violating the motor ve- One man wrote in the| | fide | quested to say whether he is ready | Commended For Work a hicle laws, and yet he wrote a con- spicuous *“No" after the question, “Have you ever been convicted in this state or elsewhere of any vio- lation of the motor vehicle laws within four years? He had no men- tal infirmity, according to his appli cation. The motor vehicle department is refusing to accept loosely drawn ap- plications. A great many of the ap- plications received hy mail are with- out answers to some of the questions asked. The department sends back applications which are not complete- ly filled out in every particular, It has found that some applicants who have had trouble as a result of their driving “forget” to answer the question as to whether they have ever been convicted of motor ve- hicle law violations, and some who do answer this question reveal faulty memories.

BROADWAY CLEAN-UP OF STAGE BEING PLANNED Banton Announces His Proposed Course in Dealing With Naughty Plays. New York, Feb. 7 (UP) — Dis- trict Attorney J. B. Banton today outlined his plans for cleaning up the drama in New York — a move which he hopes will avoid the im-| pesition of formal censorship of | the stage. In brief this is the way he said he would work: All complaints recetved from citizens — and there are many al- ready on hand—will be .examined. Anonymous complaints and those which prove to be from press agents hoping for publicity will be thrown out. The person who makes a bona complaint then will be re- to appear as a Witness or swear | to a warrant. | It the complainant is willing to prosecute, the district attorney will | fle procecdings against the pro- ducer and the court can decide whether the production is such that it has a right to go on.

LABORITES FROWN ON BRITISH PLAN Criticize Handling of Chinese Sitqation London, Feb. 7 (A — British la- bor's displeasure over this coun- try’'s attitude toward China and e: pecially the despatch of a defense force to Shanghal was emphasized anew at a largely attended labor | demonstration last night. Labor leaders discusssd the Chi nese situation from all angles to prove their contention that the British government was not taking the proper course in the far east, but the climax of the -mecting came when the chief speaker, for- mer Premier Ramsay MacDonald, called upon the government to call home the forces now on the way to the Orient. This evoked expres- sions of approbation from allparts of Albert hall, where the meeting was held. Previously Mr. MacDonald had questioned Great Britain's right to send an army to the international | settlement -in Shanghai, and ex- pressed his belief that an hour’s After the business meeting, a num- ber of lantern slides of photographs taken by local amateurs will. be shown.

Winston Churchill, he hoped they | did not represent the government's | policy and that they would be dis- avowed hy the government. The week-end brought nothing startling in the way of news from China. There is no sign of resump tion of the negotiations for a set- tlement either at Hankow ing. Because the Chinese New Year celebrations passed quietly and the offensive anti-British posters have disappeared from the walls of the Hankow concession, however, it is believed that there need be~mo fear of an immediate recrud of anti-British demonstration: All the newspapers feature tl proposals of the American secre tary of state, Frank B. urging the Chinese factions to keep the international settlement at Shanghai free from fighting in their civil warfare. The Daily Telegraph, the only paper to com- ment on Mr. Kellogg's proposals, says the exact meaning of the United States {s not clear, but if the suggestion is that the rival governments in China should each undertake to forbid its soldiers to Invade the settlement, the situation would not be materlally altered, as Chen has already given what amounts to such an undertakin while the Peking government never attacked or threatened any concession.

Yet they would only have sold 300 motor cars in all. In other words, PERCENTAGE of annual gain is not conclusive. The NUMBER of cars sold is the true test. ‘That Dodge Brothers sales in 1926 showed an increase of 27.6% over 1925 is not the MAJOR fact to consider—striking as it is. But that Dodge Brothers sold 259,967 cars in 1925, and then in 1926 sold 331,764—a gain of 71,797 sales in twelve months—tells a story of growth that stands out like a tower on the sky= line of the industry.
