Sometimes the call dn him for a license number is maoe in daylight, but more often it ig jat night—the favoid te time for autdnobiles to dis appear. | York has ,‘1500 inhabitants, and nearly every white family—scores of negro families toe—has a car. Thin runs the number high, into the hun dreds.

Many a time, cspec f aUy when the car number is wanted at night, a wait of many hours would be nec essary to obtain it from the state highway department. Securing it from Harry is a matter ){•' only a few seconds.
