, people admire this season of the year| are a motoring menace on pavement or gravel roads, Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of the Hoosier Motor Cliib, warned today. “Leaves on the highways,” -Mr.

Stoops said, “collect moisture and|.

frost and insulate the tires against the gripping surface of the pavement and are as-dangerous to the motorist as the banana skin is to the pedestrian. “Special care should be taken at night for leaves are fallfhg rapidly and are harder to locate at night than in the daytime. The wise thing to do is to drive carefully through wooded areas.” Cars should be checked now for winter driving, Mr. Stoops reminded drivers. Tires worn thin afford no protection against skidding on leaves, ice or snow, he said. The battery will get more service and it should be put in good condition. Lights, windshield wiper and stop lights should be checked carefully.

PAPAL ENGYGLICAL T0 HIT AT ATHEISM

VATICAN CITY, Oct. 20 (U. P)). —The first encyclical of the reign of His Holiness Pope Pius XII, which is reported to be directed against the spread of neo-paganism ‘and atheism, will be entitled “against the ruinous doctrines of cur times,” it was learned from a reliable source today. The encyclical, which in all probability will be published on Sunday Oct. 29, feast day of Christ, the King, will open with the Latin words “Contrivii dominus baculum impiorum, virgam dominantium,” a Biblical quotation from the 14th chapter of Isaiah. According to centuries-old custom, therefore, the eneyclical will go down in Catholic history under the name of the first two opening words —Contrivi dominus. It was understood that the Rt. Rev. Msgr, Antonio - Bacci, Papal Secretary of briefs, drafted the encyclical along the lines of the first encyclical of Pope Gregory XVI —Mirari vos—which was issued in August, 1832, and was directed against the spread of liberalism. The encyclical will be from 8000 to 10,000 words long. Pope Pius now is working on Msgr. Bacci’s final draft of the encyclical lin seclusion at his summer villa at Castel Gandolfo.

HOLDS CANADA ABLE TO MEET OIL NEEDS

MONTREAL, Oct. 20 (U. P.).— Canada’s oil fields could supply the country’s whole oil requirements, Col. Nelson Spencer, British Columbia oil man, said here yesterday. There were prospects, he said, the Turner Valley in Alberta may hold one of the largest oil deposits in the world. Present wells there, he

added, are producing a limited|

supply of 26,000 barrels of high grade oil daily, but output. could easily be stepped up to 50,000. “Distribution is the main problem,” he said.

Science:

Those on Diets Less Than Best As Healthy as Those On the Best.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20.—A daring food heresy was announced at the meeting of the American Public Health Association here this morning. Before a group of men and women who for years have been teaching that proper diet is important if not vital to good health, Doctors Henry Borsook, professor of biochemistry at the California Institute of Technology, and William L. Halverson, Health Officer of Pasadena, Cal, reported a survey showing that families on sub-optimal diets—less than the best—were no less healthy than families having adequate food intakes. “Families on sub-optimal diets,” the doctors declared, “were not found by the measures employed to have a greater degree of ill health than those having adequate food intake.! A study of a larger number of families over a period of years utilizing more exact measures of ill health will be necessary to show the alleged harmful effects of a suboptimal diet.” ’ The diets of 50 :families, . 151 adults and 72 children, in economic levels from relief to $3000 annual incomes were studied. Clinical examinations were made of 80 persons in 25 of these families, including height, weight, evidence of rickets, heart, lungs, skin texture, teeth and blood tests for anemia. No correlation between defects and dietary insufficiencies were found.

Defends Skyscrapers

By Science Service NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Unsound reasoning on both social and econominic grounds is behind statements that the day of towering skyscrapers is past, said Henry Wright, associate editor of Architectural Forum of New York, at the meeting of the American Institute of Steel Construction here. In sharp defense of tall buildings and their construction in metropolitan areas, Mr. Wright branded as untrue the statements which call skyscrapers a: “dismal flop, untenanted, - anti-social and a white SloPhani in good times as well as ad.” The idea that skyscrapers cause

Pet Monkeys Spurn Steaks

Times Special . CENTERVILLE, Ind. Oct. 20.— Junior Perrin, 16, prefers monkeys for pets and has three on his father’s farm. “They're vegetarians,” Junior explained. “They will eat anything that is sweet, but will not touch meat. They catch bugs and insects instead,” he added. His father, Leister Perrin, bought the animals for his son. They have been exhibited at the Centerville Fair.

HE COLLECTS PENCILS SYLVANIA, O., Oct. 20 (U. P.). —Russell R. Erhart, former field secretary for Otterbein College has collected 1200 pencils.

BN An

congestion in cities Mr. Wright indicated, is belied by the facts. New York had congestion long before it had high buildings and the congestion of London, he added, is notorious despite the absence of towering office structures. The worst traffic congestion, in the eyes of the New York Police Department, he continued, is at Park Ave. and 57th St. in an area distinguished by having the lowest buildings in its vicinity.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Oct." 20 (U. P.).—The average motorist is a fair weather driver : without “proper respect for Mother Nature

when the going gets tough,” it was|.

charged in a report presented to the 28th annual convention of the National Safety Council, “BN Failure of the average motorist to recognize driving hazards during unfavorable weather is partially responsible for a 40:per cent increase in traffic accidents through-

increase in the Southern states, the report said. The greatest winter hazard, the report said, is skidding and inadequate traction, with stopping distances five to eight times longer on icy roads than on dry pavement. Reduced visibility because of snow storms. constitutes the second greatest winter hazard, while tightly closed windows which prevent the driver hearing warning signals and subject him to carbon monoxide poisoning is the third most important hazard, the report said. The fourth main hazard is faulty and inadequate maintenance of roadways. : The committee reported that in most of the snow belt, it was possible for state and local highway

departments to clear roads 'soonj-

after a storm. When the formation of ice cannot be prevented, the committee said, abrasives, either heated or treated with calcium of sodium chloride, should be spread on roads.
