NIGH MENTALITY UNNECESSARY IN DRIVER OF AUTO Deafness, Dumbness Do Not Form Menace, Survey by Expert Shows. Bu United Prr* * NEW YORK, April 18.—A man Who can not pass a simple intelligence test may make an excellent automobile driver. Cripples, with - only one arm, or leg, may safely drive cars that are properly ■ equipped. Simple, common-sense training In manipulating a car’s clutch, brake 1 and steering wheel is the chief requisite. In other words, the ability , to shift gears properly, and not a ‘’hair-trigger” mentality, makes a i good driver. Conducts Survey Thesoare among the conclusions reached by Dr. Knight Dunlap, Johns Hopkins university psychologist, following a unique program of psychological tests for automobile Operators he recently conducted at Ohio State University for the National Research Council, writes Robert E. Martin in the April issue Os Popular Science Monthly. Deafness, Dr. Dunlap found. Is not (such a grave menace in a driver as In the pedestrian, who for his own safety should imitate the deer hunter and wear a red coat to distinguish himself. Bad eyesight, of course, is a more . serious handicap. Yet Dr. Dunlap Relieves this does not cause many •ecidents. A far greater menace is the man who can see, but don’t look. AH Color-Blind Can a color-blind person become & safe driver? Or will he be confused by traffic signals? Dr. Dunlap declares that all persons are colorblind except when they look squarely at an object. Since an autoist usually observes a traffic signal out of the corner of his eye, because he has to watch pedestrians and other motorists at the same time, signals are designed on the assumption that all motorists are color-blind. Fortunately, there are two colors Which a color-blind person nan distinguish as well as a man with normal vision—orange-red and bluegreen. Signal engineers are adopting these colors.

! NORTH CAROLINA , WET CANDIDACY SPURS INTEREST Democrat in Senate Race: G. 0. P. Session Denies Indorsements. BV ROBERT A. ERWIN Vnlted Prtss Staff Correspondent RALEIGH, N. C., April 18.—Politics in North Carolina claimed new interest today with entrance of a I “wet” into the Democratic sen- j atorial fight, and decision of the i Republicans to send three, possibly four, men into the June primaries for the party's senatorial nomination without indorsement of the state convention. A moist aspect was brought into j ! the Democratic race by Dr. Thomas j i Letcher Estep of Stratford, high up j [in the hills of Allegheny county, j | who formally filed Thursday for the | primaries in opposition to the vet- ' eran Furnifold M. Simmons, inj cumbent, and Josiah W. Bailey, j Raleigh attorneys, both drys. Meanwhile, at Charlotte, the Rej publicans met in state convention, ■ adopted a “fighting platform,” and for the first time in years upheld ; indorsement of any of the four ] potential senatorial candidates from their party. Conceivably it was a ' step in the direction of party hari mony, to settle matters in the primary. | Republicans certain to fight it out | j in June are Major George E. But- j | ler. Clinton; the Rev. H. G. Dorsett. | i Wakeforest—both of whom already j | have filed —and Congressman j I George Pritchard. Asheville, who I j has announced he will file within I j a few 7 days. I The fourth man is David H. Blair. ! former commissioner of internal I revenue, regarded as likely to pitch ! his h is />i the ring any day now. j The Charlotte convention saw the j | G. O. P. go all the way in support j jof the national administration of j ; Herbert Hoover; saw it back the i ; eighteenth amendment to the limit, and call out some of its strongest I denunciation when referring to the j Democratic government of North Carolina.

INDIANS FINISH EASTER DANCE; GO IN MOURNING Dedicate Day to Christ, Praying Sadly at Black Cross. BARRIO PASCUA. Ariz., April 18. —As dawn came upon this desert Yaquai village today, 1,000 reliigous Indians halted their dance prayers to God and went into mourning. For thirty-six hours, the braves, in grotesque costumes, had stamped and swayed through barbaric dances to the cadence of tom-toms and the shrill notes of reed flute. As the eastern sky reddened, the j strange mixture of aboriginal religion and the rites of the mother church was turned into a hush. Tire quietude starts a day of sad- | ness.

The day is dedicated to the betrayal of Christ, his trial and crucifixion. In past years, an aged member of the tribe actually was sacrificed, but this custom has been abandoned. While sadness still prevails, a bier bearing the form of Christ :s carried to a desert calvary. After prayers for the bier is guarded by white-robed protectors.
