WATCH THE HIGHWAY HIGH SPEED HAZARD Until highways are absolutely fool proof, the most effective way to hold accidents in check is to rigidly enforce intelligent speed laws, George Barton, head of the Chicago Motor Club safety and traffic department declared today in pointing out that excessive speed is a major cause of tighwuy catastrophes. “Safety authorities agree that in addition to speeding, not being able to stop, because of faulty brakes, inattention, fatigue, or slow reaction time, is the cause of

all accidents on the highway,” be explained. “Poor distance judgment a.id not knowing their braking power on various types of road surfaces is also one of the reasons why motorists get into trouble,” Mr. Barton said. “They forget that four times as much braking power is required to stop when speed is doubled, and that moisture, loose dirt, and bumps make it that much more difficult to bring a car to a stop in time to avert a collision.” The motor club has outlined four rules for motorists to follow which will prevent speeding and braking accidents. They are: 1. Never drive so fast that you are unable to stop within the distance you can see ahead. 2. Always reduce speed far below normal to meet the following hazards: wet pavement; soft surface roads having a loose top; hills and Curves; darkness and congested areas. 3. Develop a sense of foresight into traffic situations which will make you know instinctively when to slow down and prepare to stop with safety, rather than have to jam on the brakes and squeal to an abrupt stop in every traffic situation. 4. Have your brakes tested and adjusted regularly, and know hov, o much play there is in the pedal so you won’t skid by locking your brakes eve'ry time you come to a stop. “Though a bit too vague for a rule, never have blind faith that providence will take care of you and continue to drive at a speed you know to be too fast,” Mr. Barton advised, “Many motorists speed along, realizing they’re driving too fast for conditions, but ignoring that ’still, small voice’ until confronted with an emergency .. . then they know they were wrong!” A bill asking $5,000 far digging a grave was ruled “a little high” by a county judge in Sterling, 111., who allowed the grave digger $5 against the estate of the deceased. Because ner husband didn’t tell her he had a wooden leg before v their marriage, Mrs. Helen Leto cf New Orleans sought an annullment.

SWINE JUDGES SCHOOL TO BE HELD AUGUST 1 t'he fifty-first annual meeting and school of the Indiana Expert Swine Judges Association will be held on August 1 at Purdue University, it was announced today by John Schwab, of Purdue University, secretary of the association. All swine breeders and others directly interested in the judging of hogs at shows and fairs are being invited to attend and take an active part in the judging of five breeds of hogs which will be available for the school. The most desirable type, body conformation, and breed standards will be discussed by a committee of five prominent swine breeders of the state. Certificates of judging hogs will be issued to those found proficient in the work. The meeting and school will be open at 10 o’clock in the livestock judging pavilion on the Purdue University farm, just "west of the campus. Arthur Tomson of Wabash, president, and Clarence Beard of Frankfort, vice-president, will preside over the business sessions of the meeting. NO MORE CARS STOLEN NOW! An Italian inventor in Naples has just about found a muchneeded remedy to stop car thievery, according’ to Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. He has perfected a gadget which saves the car, announces the theft, and incarcerates’the culprit all at the same ti(ne. “When the thief has driven the car about a hundred yards, it stops by an automatic device that cannot be restarted,” Mr. Hayes explained. “Not only that, but the doors lock externally, the item blows, and a red sign appears bearing the word, ‘STOLEN’!” It’s too bad there isn’t another . instrument inside the car which would give the fellow a spanking, too!!!!
