Bosworth. He discovered that men from other states apparently have not legal right to drive a car in Massachusetts without taking out a Massachusetts license. The Automo- bile Legan association, in answer to his inquiry, wrote the following letter: May 10, 1916. Mr. R. C. Bosworth, 125 Elm Street, Putnam, Conn.: Dear Sir:— In afiswer to yours of the 9th, we think you probably refer to the fact that through some oversight the Mas- sachusetts highway commission has never made a determination concerning other states giving reeciprocal priv- ileges to Massachusetts motorists, and until such a determination has been made lawyers are of the opinion that non-residents cannot legally enter this state. The highway commission, how- ever. is of the contrary opinion, and the untortunate part of the whole mat- ter is that the highway commission- ers do mot feel the necessity of mak- ing a determination, which would be a very simple matter, and although con- siderable pressure is being brought upon the commissioners to make a determination, they have not done so up to the present time. We hope, however, that the' com- missioners will see the reasonableness of settling the matter by making a determination in 'the near future wish, they can secure’the same thing a8 a branch of the Chamber of Com- merce.

Mrs. Love wanted to rid herself of the MacDonald woman, but she did not seem inclined to get away. It is ciaim- ed that the MacDonald woman was drinking to excess and became such a nujsance that the police were notified and arrested her on the charge of in- toxication. After taking her to the police_station, Chief Brown called in Miss Slattery, the district nurse, and Miss Murphy, the probation officer for females. They examined the MacDon- ald woman and found that she was severely bruised, and in such a way that the injuries could not have been infiicted by falling, in their opinion. Relatives in Boston have been noti- fied of her condition and have prom- ised to take her away from Westerly and care for her if allowed. They will be granted the privilege and she that one w ould take considerable chance in netering this state, not so much from fear of arrest by the police, but because, if he should be run into and damaged, he might not be able to recover damages on the grounds thaat he is a trespasser an the highways of Massachusetts.
