Legal Question 
Law About Auto Trailers 
Can you tell me what the laws of the 
State of New York are regarding the use 
of trailers upon the highway? I was in 
collision with the second and third trail¬ 
ers drawn by a truck in Meehuniesville, 
N. Y. The fault is with the driver of the 
truck. It was near a bad corner that the 
accident happened. I understand that 
there are limitations. J. w. B. 
New York. 
The general traffic law provides that a 
vehicle, unless confined to tracks, shall 
not tow more than one other vehicle, and 
the connection between the two vehicles 
shall not be longer than 16 ft., except 
that nothing in this clause shall prevent 
the use of more than one trailer. Each 
towed vehicle, except a trailer, shall have 
an attendant. 
June power in nippy November! That’s what you want from 
your tractor and here’s the way to get it. 
Follow this simple program laid out for you by Veedol engineers. 
1. Buy a 15, 30 or 55 gallon drum of the Veedol motor oil 
designated for your tractor. 
2. Drain your crankcase now —and after every 30 hours 
of service. 
3. Refill with fresh Veedol. 
The engine oil you use in your 
tractor is no longer a good lubricant 
after 30 hours of hard service. Es¬ 
pecially is this true in cold weather. 
Authenticated tests have repeatedly 
proven that tractors that have been 
worked but 10 hours often show from 
30 to 60 percent kerosene or gasoline 
dilution of the crankcase oil. 
Fuel dilution ruins lubrication oil, 
rapidly increases friction-danger, 
cheats your engine of power and 
causes higher fuel bills. 
Steer clear of fuel dilution in winter. You 
can do it by following the timely advice of 
Veedol engineers. Get that drum of Veedol 
now and have the keen satisfaction of 
watching your tractor deliver an abundance 
of June power all through this winter. 
There are Veedol oils and greases for every 
type of power farming equipment. Consult 
the Veedol Charts and select the particular 
Veedol lubricants designated for your auto¬ 
motive equipment. Use these and no others.

Transfer to Husband 
If a woman at: her marriage owned 
both personal and real property, and a 
year or so later gave her husband au in¬ 
terest in the realty for valuable consider¬ 
ations which he failed to accomplish or 
live up to, would this property be Iters 
solely at his death, or would his children 
by a former marriage be entitled to it. if 
he died intestate? The wife never used 
his name, but kept her own in all busi¬ 
ness and social transactions. Would this 
deed be considered as a joint deed with 
no application to the same? mrs. it. 
New York. 
The deed to a husband and wife as 
such gives the entire title to the sur¬ 
vivor. You do not state what interest 
was given your husband nor what kind 
of an instrument was used for passing 
the title, but the above general rule prob¬ 
ably will apply. n. r. 
Does your oil meet 
these rigid requirements ? 
1. Full power—Your engine delivers 
full power only when the oil maintains 
a piston seal. Veedol maintains a piston 
seal, and gives full power even under ex¬ 
treme operating conditions. 
2. Fuel savings — Poor compression 
allows unburned fuel to seep into the 
crankcase tofurther weaken and dilute the 
oil. Veedol holds compression. There¬ 
fore, Veedol saves fuel. 
3. Minimum repairs — Over 80 °fo 
of engine repairs are traced to faulty 
lubrication. Veedol saves you from seized 
pistons, burned bearings and scored 
cylinder walls. 
4. Continuousoperation—A motor laid 
up loses more money in a few days than 
the price of a year’s supply of oil. Veedol 
keeps your machinery on the job. 
5. Time and money savings — Full 
power, fuel savings, minimum repairs and 
continuous operation mean more acres 
worked in less time at lower cost. Veedol 
saves time and money. 
Veedol is refined more than other oils 
by the exclusive Faulkner process. This 
gives Veedol its extra resistance to deadly 
heat and friction. 
“Borrowed” Crops Legal 
For several years we have had some 
parts of our crops borrowed without our 
consent and not returned. We have re¬ 
ported the facts to Gov. Miller, and the 
district attorney this year; previously to 
the mounted police, and also the district 
attorney and sheriff, but no results. Only 
this year the district attorney wrote me 
if I would get the evidence he would 
prosecute the parties. I would like to 
know what the district attorney’s duties 
are. and where I can find the law. chap¬ 
ter, section aud year. e. s. 
New York. 
If, as you state in your first paragrauh, 
your crops were only borrowed, no crime 
has been committed, for in order to com¬ 
mit a crime there must be criminal in¬ 
tent. 
The duties of the district attorney are 
not set forth iu any one section of the 
law, but are outlined iu the county law, 
the code of criminal procedure aud vari¬ 
ous decisions in the State. The district 
attorney is not a detective, hut it is his 
duty to present such crimes to the grand 
jury as are brought to his attention, aud 
to ju’osecute them after an indictment. 
If you have knowledge that u crime has 
been committed, and know who the guilty 
parties are, it is your duty as a citizen to 
make an information before the nearest 
magistrate to the end that a conviction 
may be had. • N. T.

Rights of Hunting Dog 
1. Has a man a right to hunt on a 
Sunday? 2. lias a man a right to shoot 
a foxhound or any other dog running a 
fox in the main road? What can a 
hunter do if a man steps to the highway 
and shoots his dog. and has no excuse to 
offer. What can the hunter do after he 
has tracked said man to an old building 
and finds his dog iu a sack and sees where 
the dog was shot by the blood at the side 
• if a mail box? The dog was not mis¬ 
taken for the fox. as the man who did 
the shooting said as much. He heard the 
dog running, picked up his gun aud shot 
the dog. G. S. 
Mt. Vision, N. Y. 
1. According to our State law a man 
does not have a right to hunt on Sunday, 
but this is a dead letter, so far as the 
enforcement of that law is concerned. 
2. No one has a right to shoot a dog 
in the main road except for self-defens . 
In case a dog d*»es not bear a license, the 
proper officer can dispose of him. 
*>, What you mention here is evidence 
tending to establish the shooting of the 
dog as a fact. What you should do in 
reciprocation depends on the complete 
facts. If it should be the case that your 
dog was a nuisance in the neighborhood, 
trespassing on others, etc., we should ac¬ 
cept his passing with good grace. If the 
act of killing was purely iu violation of 
tile principle of deeeucy and respect, yon 
can proceed in two ways. The better way 
is to have a plain but Unpnsshmate talk 
with the person who committed the act 
in attempt to settle the matter hetween 
yourselves. If this does not avail, and 
you are insistent on pressing the matter 
further, you should present the complete 
facts to as honest an attorney as you can 
find.
