In4 spite of the fact' that the new Oregon motoi- code has no'definlte speed limit, dui-irtg the past year there have beert' fewer accidents, fewer fatalities, arid better driving coridi-4 tidns-in this state, and Secretary Hal B. Hosis credits the exiJtrllhatiori law for at lea.lt u part of these benefits; Fiirlhermoi'e, in his annual report Mr. IIoss makes this very definite statement: "Drunken' driving, recklessnfess. un fit and incompetent drivers, and misunderstandings of .the traffic laWs have bettl curbed and reduced through the Oper ation, of tHd law." that alone would make the law an out standing success. Some people have been circulating untrue stories about the4 '.expense arid administration' of the examination system, arid iii order to'correct them the following official statements were recently issued: . , ". ; 1. There are not sixty offices maintained over the state to give operators' examinations. There are two; one in Salem srid ohd In Portllihd. Five traveling examiners cover the sixty towns of the state, carrying all1 their4 ecjuiprnerit them;1 There is no office maintained, no rent paid,; ai)d no staff, e'rnployed rogiilaiiy in any town exiept Salem' and PdHlarid. Four local part-time men are used at isolated points in' .the; Mate:at.?o'sl& bf.'.froro' !?i0 tos-$15 per month. . ,.2..; Tlie office force at' headquarters consists of one mark agei'.'oite exaihirter, and seveiclerks.' 8. . The office force at Portland consists of four exanUfi ers and one clerks -" 4'. The operation of the division does not add one dollar, to the tax burden of the state. 5. There is no provision in the law for requiring SOOOOO motorists to be examined. , 6. The secretary of state lias never said that he wguld require compulsory exlnminntjioiis of the presetit 400,000 drivers." ; These facts prove that the now system is being conducted with the utmost efficiency, enabling the taxpayers of he. state to get miore for their money than they were getting Ixrfore. In our opinion the most important factor of the examina tivn law which applies to every person seeking a driver's license is that it prevents any person from lawfully driving a motor vehicle on the highways until he or she can demon strate proper skill and knowledge. That is something which every state should do, Tor giving an incompetent person the" right to drive art automobile 'in present day traffic conditions is like giving a child a loaded gtm to play with ) no one knows just what will happen, but it' is likely to be disastrous.

'The point of complete exhaustion is seldom reached. At a certain stage the "second wind" develops, mid out' minds, shutting out disturbing impressions, continue to function at a high level of efficiency and very economically, so that we can go along more or less automatically, depleting our energy reserves slowly. When the energy output persistently exceeds recuperative powers a condition of chronic fatigue develops. In this state people are irritable, resentful, melancholy, dissatisfied, dis couraged, and may rage or weep over trifles. This again is the normal protective mechanism against exhaustion. The chronically tired person is absolutely compelled to rest. If lilj is wise, he will do so before his efficiency drops and his recuperative powers are lowered.
