Believe Those Who Flee After Accidents
Should Be Severely Punished
By K. K. PHOmmedieu

The running down of the automobile

Wife, Sunday afternoon as they were
returning from the races at Tanforan
by persons who afterward made their
escape without giving the Middletons a
chance to find out who was responsible
for the destruction of their car brought
torc1bly to the dealers along automo-
bile row the fact that there was some
thlng lacking in the present automo-
bile law. Time and again the records
of the police department show similar
cases, and they continue to happen. In
the discussions on the row a prominent
automobilist said yesterday: "The
trouble lies in the fact that the present
law does not make the penalty severe
enough for such acts. If disappearing
after an accident was punishable by a
term IN prison, not only for the chauf-
feur, but those in the automobile, there
would be fewer desertions after acct
dents 1t is time that the Automobile
club Of California, the Automobile deal
ers' association of California, the Cali
fornia state automobile association and
the San Francisco motor club got to-
gether and worked for an amendment
TO the present laws that will secure the
desired result"

Learn 10 Wash Your Face.


Girls might not be SO afraid of soap
If they realized that the only way in
which to attain or preserve a smooth,
fine skin is to constantly lather and
scrub it free of impurities. And face
washing, be 1t understood, means
s%efubbing not only the nose, forehead,
cheeks and chin, but cleansing the
roots. OF the hair line with a stiff
bristfed brush that will dislodge every
particle of CRIME.
Very hot water yellows the skin, but
it should be sufficiently warm to take
out all the dust, after which the face
may be repeatedly showered with cold
water.
p. Toe much time and money cannot be
devoted to the selection of a toilet soap
Which precisely suits each individual
skin. for what Is ones skin food may

as it is no%urishing to the skin and suits

upon entering the house after several
hours in the open air should not be
yielded to, even though the cheeks may
be burning from The wind or dampened

scream, which will quickly absorb the
fever and moisture, should be allowed
to remain on the face for at least an
hour, and with a soft cloth gently

travelling, orange-flower water mixed
with benzoin or powdered borax makes
a simple, harmless lotion, more sooth-

To begin the hemming stitch, point
the needle toward the middle of the left
