The Commission pointed out that under the Mo-
tor Vehicle Registration Act and court decisions,
motor vehicle owners were required to register their
vehicles in the county of their residence. The Com-
mission asserted that vehicles registered [in counties
other than the residence of the owner are "un-regis-
tered” and the owners would be subject to penalties
for operating un-registered vehicles over the high-
ways. State Highway patrolmen will be used to pre-
vent fraudulent registrations during the remainder
of the registration period, which ends March 31, and
to ferret out and require the legal registration of il-
legally registered vehicles.

the Commission in the administration of such acts.
The Commission and its administrative officers, feel-
ing their responsibility and appreciating te confi-
dence of the citizens and their legislature, are de-
termined to go the limit to see that the laws are com-
plied with and the road fund of the people of Texas
safeguarded and protected.
“The source of the trouble rests apparently with
a few individuals who hope to reap large profits from
such illegal practice at the expense of law abiding
citizens and the Commission feels all good citizens
and public officials can be counted on to cooperate
with our law enforcement agencies to see that our
statutes are administered as intended by our law-
makers.”

CT can’t happen to me.”
। Yet tuberculosis did “happen” to John, fresh-
man law student, crack oarsman and the picture
of health. It happened to Betty, just turned 18, vi-
vacious and carefree.
In fact tuberculosis shadows the lives of more
than 100,000 young American men and women be-
tween the ages of 15 and 25 About 12,000 in that
age group will die of the disease this year, many will
be obliged to quit school or work and some shall
have to give up cherished plans for a life career.
The evidence that tuberculosis can lurk in a
strong young body is now complete. It is all too com-
mon to find young football and basketball players
with hidden tuberculosis. The disease may hide in
the lung for months without a telltale symptom
Quietly it digs in like a treacherous enemy. Sud-
denly it may show itself by a hemorrhage from the
lung. Or it may only hint at its presence by a cough
that hangs on, loss of weight, indigestion or unex-
plained fatigue.'By that time serious damage has
already been done. - ’ j
But it need not happen to you! You can: take
advantage of ways of discovering tuberculosis while
it is yet in the “silent" or relatively harmless stage.
Should the evidence show’ that danger is ahead,
prompt action will in most cases head off the dis-
aster of serious tuberculosis. j
There is a way to find out if silent tuberculosis
lurks in the body. It is to have a tuberculin test
made. This test, simple and harmless, shows whether
the germs of tuberculosis have invaded the body.
If it is positive, .take the next step have an X-
ray picture taken of the chest. This penetrating ray
reveals on the X-ray plate damage that may have
been done in the lung by the invaders.
In some high schools and colleges all students
are otfered the tuberculin test and X-ray—an excel-
lent plan! The cases of serious tuberculosis discov-
ered by these tests are fortunately few’. But for
these few, the gain is great. The others are given
assurance that for them, tuberculosis, the disease
that wrecks careers, does not threaten.
Remember, it can happen—but it is not likely to
do so if you uncover tuberculosis by modern meth-
ods. ’ •
