A SMART CAPTURE.

An R.A.C. Guide was asked by a motor cyclist for some oil. The Guide noticed that his license had expired 30th September, 1925, and drew the rider’s attention to the fact. Being suspicious, however, that all was not in order, the Guide had him stopped further down the road by the Police, and on being interrogated he admitted that the outfit was stolen.
