Professor Ralph A Moyer of lowa State College today warned the coming sßow and ice sea*on may caus< one of the worst "traffic accident winters" in history. As chairman of the National Rrfety Connell's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards, made upi of 30 experts in fields of traffic and transportation, the professor has conduct <d exhaustive research | into the subject over the past eight years. “A study of recent years shows | traffic death rates for 36 northern states were 21 to 53 per cetlt higher in the winter than in the summer months," he declared, "and the combination of more cars, many o( which are in poor condition. more gas. and more ‘restraint weary' drivers may result in the worst traffic accident winter in history. Driver* in snow belt stales until consider dangerous road conditions and should immediately check their brakes. I.re chains, windshield wipers, defrosters. and head lights for protection against the two additional hazaids of winter—slippery roads and poor visibility.'* Concerning Intuit- anto and truck models.

The American Legion Auxiliary presents the following information based on tin Gl Bill of Right* for the benefit of returning veteran*. Q. May a veteran in receipt of retirement pay pursue n course of training including subsistence allowance? A Yes, under eertai i conditions dependent upon the fact* in individual cases. Q. May a veteran discharged from the service by reason of the i dependency of hi* mother be entered in a course of education or ! training? A Ye*. If the veteran is otherwise entitled, the fact that he was

discharged from tho bocause of tho dependency of hi* mother would not be material. q If * veteran to eligible for 24 month*' training, may he uau » months to complete hl* High *<hool cuutwc und the remaining 15 months in the pursuit of some trade? A. Ye* It would be Dscesiary for I the veteran to obtain a new eerti--1 flcate of entitlement following the completion of hi* nigh school course for the remaining period of training to which he Is entitled. In order that he may present it to the Institution in which he is to re- ■ ,lvi the further training. Q. Muy a veteran atari training under the Servicemen* lieadjustment Ait of 1911 In a trade and later find that It wa» ill chosen, and change to some other Voeat lon ? A Yes. The law provides that "for reason* satisfactory to the Administration, he may change a course of instruction"; therefore, based upon the facts in the individual case, the veteran may lie permitted to change his course Thh eel of questions and an SWers ends the scries until congtess takes action on Hie Bl Bill of Rights.

wV \ 49 •* I 1 *• R**un m- I O fJhe, tyrhf ‘ The motorist who burns rn<- to a cinder and no doubt irritates thousand* of others is the individual who makes a left turn to turn right. Have you ever seen a imdorist swing Into the left lane of the highway to turn right at an intersection? That is the bird I am talking about. Instead of signaling you tiiat he is going to alow down so tiiat you can at least pass him. loAnakf* a movement to turn left at the Intersection and suddenly turns right This means that you are directly behind him und in swinging right suddenly find Mr. Motorist directly in front of you at an angle. These people either have no concern or feeling for other motorist*, or are absolutely ignorant of the right way to drive. They muat he educated to turn corners correctly and to signal before they turn. The quickest way to get rid of tension Is to get something done He who shows himself hostile to truth will find truth a closed book.

CHATTER FORTY TWO THE NEXT day Jinae and Terry were just finishing their luncheon at the Plaza hotel. Terry glanced at her watch and looked across the table to smile at Jime. “I want you to do something for me," she said. “Certainly, dear," Jim* nodded. “Fit*' plane arrives at the airport in just one hour I want you to meet him with ate. * “But you don't want me along” Jime protested. "You Norte Americans don't need chaperons, and anyway, I'm sure your young man would much prefer meeting you alone." “You don't know Fitz!" Terry laughed. “It wouldn't bother him In fact, he'd love it. How else can I prove to hitn that ! actually DO know a real Argentine estancia owner." “Exhibit A," Jime smiled to herself. "Certainly Hi go, if you really want me." They stood at the gates marked, “Tu Planes," while a trickle of passengers came through from the Clipper. Terry, on tiptoes, was straining to see over the heads of th* tittle group that were waiting to meet the incoming plane. After th* last passenger had come into the depot a boy in uniform mapped a velvet covered chain acrom the entrance Terry turned to face' Jime. "I’m really not surprised," she said slowly. But Jime could see the disappointment in her eye*. “I guess I’d be mote surprised if that guy ever showed up at the appointed time." Arm in arm they walked through the waiting room and out a revolving door to the taxi stand. The starter had Just motioned for a cab when someone came up behind Terry and lifted her, by the elbows, off her feet When he est her down she whirled to face Fitz. He was grinning broadly from under a battered Panama hat. “Promptnem Is a virtue," he be-

gan. "Ye*, a virtue you'll never achieve!" Terry laughed, and turned to Jime. ’“Thl* ia IT, Jime! Senora Kimberly, may I present Fitz Turner." Jime looked up at the tall young man smilingly. “We thought we'd missed you," she said. “Tou did by just one day," Fit* explained. "I made it on the 17th instead of the 18th. I was going to cable, but I thought I might as well let it ride." “Sweet boy!" Mid Tnrv. “By what *traogc quirk of memory did

you show up today?" Fitz said blandly, "By expert i planning I got a lot of my inter- 5 views already in, so I could have : som® time with you when you 1 came. But I missed you someway, i so I came out here.” | They got a cab and started back s toward the city. On the way Jime t Mid, "We'ii expect you and Terry < to visit us for a few days at least, before you go back to New York.” I Fitz said enthusiastically, "Un- 1 l*es you're serious you'd better i withdraw that invitation. A Tur- I ner's never been known to turn one i down." “Os course I'm serious," Jime 1 said. 1 “Maybe Terry and I can count that as part of our honeymoon." 1 Fitz Mid. "She'* marrying me. you I know, a* soon as we get back to ‘ New York." “Since when have newlyweds begun taking their honeymoons before they’re married? I know I’ve been away tor a while, but I still read the papers." Terry winked at Jime. i "Before, after, what difference i does it make? Anyway, think of . the money It would save me." “There’s put one flaw in your ( scheme," Terry smiled, “only a I technicality, of course, but I eifi'i , remember promising to marry , you ” "Oh, weU, you will before the I week i* over." j “Modasty is another of his rir turs,” Terry said to Jime. Jime said, “I can see that" Fitz had an interview arranged i tor four that afternoon. He said . goodby to Terry and Jime at the ! hotel, promising that they would , all meet for dinner at seven. Jime I and Terry spent the afternoon sauntering along Calle Florida, [ looking Into the crystal bright shop ( windows. “I like your young man," . Jime said. "He seems to me so typical of your country. Reckless, gay, . and full of sparkling humor.” Terry

was pleased. "H* to a good Joe," she said warmly. It was a little before seven when Fitz knocked on Terry’s door. He drew a quick breath when he saw her. She was wearing a simple whit* evening frock that brought out the coffee cream of her skin. Those days by th* estancia pool had given her a perfect tan. Rhinestone dip and carrings sparkled in the soft light. He whistled softly, "A dream walking," he said. “You look tonight like you might «vm be the estancia owner instead of a hous* CuesL" .
