Safety Council Expects Toll For Fourth to Be Near 475
Times Special CHICAGO, June 27.—Four hundred and seventy-five persons will start out to celebrate the Fourth of July this year—and they won't come back. They won’t come back ann ironically, they are celebrating a day dedicated to life, liberty and the pursuit ‘of happiness. Some of them will start across the street—never to reach the: other side. Others will climb into their cars, step on the gas and ride to their death. Still others will lose their lives in a split-second of horror because someone else forgot to be careful. None of these people will want to die. None of them will have a premonition of tragedy. Every one of them will think, “It won’t happen to me!” The: Council points out, however, that this gloomy forecast need not
Here They Are...
be fulfilled—that none of these people need die if every driver and every pedestrian makes up his mind to avoid an accident by using skill and caution. The same caution, the Council said, will prevent the other common holiday tragedies—drownings, death and injury from fireworks, from over-exertion and over-ex-posure to sun. Thirty national organizations are joining with the Council in a determined effort to cut this toll as much as possible by bringing home to their millions of members and to the public the fact that individual effort by every person can save tragedy and suffering.
R. W. LYONS TO SPEAK
Robert W. Lyons, attorney and past commander of John Holliday Post of the American Legion, will address the Kiwanis Club at the Columbia Club Wednesday. His topic
will be “The Future of America.”

By DAVID MARSHALL

The company is going to build the 1000-pound tricycle landing gear in the River Rouge tire plant until its $18,000,000 bomber parts plant near Ypsilanti, Mich., is ready late this year. Landing gear for five bombers a day will be produced in the temporary plant's production unit. Slow production of the landing gear is Uneaishing to Qelay the huge four-engined Army bombers. s 8

Cites Tire-Saving Rules 5
THOUSANDS OF TONS of rubber can be saved yearly if motorists will take greater care of their tires, John L. Collyer, president of the B. F. Goodrich Co., believes.’ Scientific studies, he says, show that tire treads wear out twice as fast at 70 miles an hour as at 45 and when the tread is gone the whole tire becomes valueless and must either be replaced or retreaded. Mr. Collyer suggests 12 rules of tire health for greater mileage with increased safety: 1. Maintain recommended air pressures at all times. 2. Whenever you change a tire, check the air pressure after a few miles. 3. Do not run a tire constantly on the same wheel; shift your tires from wheel to wheel every 5000 miles to insure even wear. 4. Keep safe tires on all wheels—a blowout destroys a complete tire. 5. Don’t take corners at high speed, that wears tires faster than anything else. 6. Never slam on your brakes—except to prevent an accident. 7. Have your wheel alignment, front and rear, checked regularly. 8. Personally inspect your tires from time to time. 9. Don’t drive too fast on hot, dry roads. High speed heats up tires and hastens deterioration and wear. 10. Start up gently; do not spin your wheels and grind off rubber. 11. Do not bump into curbs—no tire will withstand such abuse.
and inspect your tires carefully and a failure may be prevented.

5-Millionth Dodge Delivered
THE DODGE CUSTOM of staging a family celebration every time the plant delivers the last of each million cars has been repeated for the fifth time. Chief Body Inspector Ed. T. Perry, acting as spokesman for the department heads, recalled how the factory's original production line was started in the year of the Lusitania sinking, when everybody
talked war, when workers on military vehicles nd artillery worked alongside Army inspectors—as many of them are doing now on a vastly greater scale. Driving the car off the line was George H. Marshall, who has driven more than 300,000 Dodges out of the factory. : o # 8

LURES PESTS TO SCENTED TRAPS |[§
Says Insects Can Be Made To Come to Odorized Poisons.
By Science Service DURHAM, N. H,, June 27—Chemical lures may eventually protect crops, instead of the poison spray used now. It may become possible to mislead insect pests to lay their eggs in chemically scented traps, instead of on plants, Dr. V. G. Dethier of John Carroll University suggested here today before the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. . Dr. Dethier has been experimenting with many kinds of insects and many kinds of ehemical compounds found in plants, to get some idea of what induces certain species to lay their eggs on just one or a very
few kinds of plants. The cabbage butterfly, which never lays its eggs on anything but the leaves of cabbages and related plants, was attracted by compounds found in just that group of plants. The orange puppy, a troublesome pest of citrus trees, is lured by the scent of two chemicals, citral and methyl-nonyl-ketone. The tent caterpillar has a decided preference for poison in small quantities. It hastened to a bait of hydrocyanic acid and benzaldehyde, Dr. Dethier demonstrated that insects are guided by their chemical sense by impregnating filter paper with the chemical compounds preferred by various species. Each insect went to the paper scented with its favorite luring odor and proceeded to make a meal of it, despite its lack of other resemblance to leaves and its obvious indigestibility.
