Questions Yalue of Sworn Statements —— Hartford, Dec. 24 — Several sug- gestions aimed at simplifying the process of taking out automobile registrations and operators’ licenses, with a view to time saving and re- duction ef -congestion at the public windows and in the mailing room at various periods of the ° year, are made in the current monthly bulle- tin of the state: motor vehicle de- partment. While all are “tentative, and the amount of time to be saved is sill conjectural, a study is being made and there is a strong possibil- ity that some of the proposals may reach the legislature for considera- tion. A It is now felt to be questionable, Ly department -officials, whether there is any advantage in having all applications sworn to before a no- 'y public. - Thé experience of the department has been that a person who would lie would cheerfully swear to a lie, and thus his oath is of small value to the records. Also, there are two or three ques- tions on the application blanks which are uniformly taken exception to by persons to whom they relate unfav- orably. The bulletin says that the question as to whether the applicant has read and {s familiar with the motor vehicle laws scems to consti- tute a perfect 100 per cent invitation to perjury, ‘The question ot whether one has been convicted within four years is offensive to many people who have committed offenses which in their nature are no! criminal. The uestion as to revocation of license 18 occasionally useful in office pro- cedure but it is debatable how much need there is for it or these other questions on the applicution. - Just how much time can be saved by their elimination, or just how far #uch elimination can go is still to be determined, says the bulletin.

Officials of the flying school at the field, in which 'the three were stu- dents, said they believed it was the first time three women have made initial solo flights from the same field on the same day. “The fact three girls soloed for the first time on onc day is an in- | dication of the way women are going in for aviation,” Licutenant H.
