HARD AUTO TRIP
ON FRESNO ROADS
Frederick w. Swant0n of Santa
Cruz Drops Into Canal
With His Car
Misses Narrow Bridge While
Driving in the Fog on
Broad Road
By K. K. PHommedien

Fred w. Swanton of Santa Cruz gives
the following account of his expert
ences on a trip to Fresno:
We, a party of four, left the st.
Francis hotel at s a. m. running by
way of the Pacheco pass to Fresno. The
roads we found to besin excellent con-
dition from Oakland to Los Banos. but
from Los Banos to MADEIRA they were
deplorable. We left MADEIRA at $3.50
o'clock and were soon enveloped in a
tule fog, so dense that the searchlights
would not penetrate 20 feet, and so
cold that the fog froze on the glass
front. which we were Obliged to turn
down in order to get any sort of a
view. The glass on the searchlights,
even with them burning. was covered
with ice. We were an. hour and a half
running from MADEIRA to point pc
yond Hermondon, distance of Il miles.
At this point. while running along
slowly. we suddenly landed in a canal
in two feet of water. going over an
eight foot embankment.
The road here is so feet in width. but
the bridge across the canal is only is
feet wide. with no railing or guide rails
to its approach. We missed the canal
and il not half drowned undoubtedly
some of US would have have been bad
ly hurt. The only damage. however,
broken glass front and a right hand
wheel on the machine had been broken
by the compact on the solid stone bot
tom of the canal.
I'VE covered the car over and started
to walk to Fresno, not knowing how
far We were from that city. After hav-
ing walked about two miles in the in
tense cold and fog we were oyertaken by
two automobile parties of young men
who were returning from a concert al
MADEIRA, and who had also had much
trouble in finding their way. 1 eN-
planned to them what had happened tC
US and they assisted us in getting into
Fresno. Although they were quite IA
mNiar with the roads, the fog was sc
intense that upon arriving within the
city limits the owner of our machine
ran his car into a front yard fence.
Next day we visited the scene of oul
disaster. taking with us a borrowed
wheel and a camera. The wheel we
placed on the machine and with the
assistance of a two horse team the
Olds was hauled up the bank and wa:
run into the garage under its OwT
power. With the exception of thI
wheel and glass front before mentioned
nothing was broken and 1 consider i
one machine of thousand to have gone
through such a shock as 1t did with
out having its machinery out of com
mission.
TIE matter of giving better protee
tion at this point is being taken III
with the supervisors. as it is cOnsid
cred that an is foot bridge over a 81
foot canal. where the road is so feet
is inadequate protection for any sor
of vehicle in a fog as intense as they
have been having there lately"

About JeweIry
Even those persons entirely disinter-
ested can not help but observe the
radical change in 5ewelry this season.

1T is, is quite up to date
Take, for instance, the long earrings

becoming to every type of face
One Of the reasons why earrings fell
into disfavor was because only a few
women could wear them successfully.
This was in the days when ears were
pierced. The piercing was, of course
done through the widest part of the
lobe, and this brought the earrings out
from the face: therefore they were
suited only to long, slender face, for
broad face seemed to be broader
and large ears appeared larger wher
they We're worn. But this year the
screw earrings are set so close to the
face that the average woman can wear
them There are exceptions, of course
but let the one who wishes to so adorr
herself try the effect of placing the
earrings in the two positions, and she
will see at once the difference.

PASADENA, March 10.-Not since

ing on the case state that the fire was
set in two different places and that the
only thing which saved the building
was that the incendiary used gasoline
instead of kerosent in starting the fire.
The gasoline vaporated so quickly Ill
the cool night air that the blaze got
little headway before it was discovered.
The force of watchmen at the plant
has been increased in anticipation of q
renewal of the attempt to fire the
place. 1t is the opinion of the police
that the blaze was started by some fam

WOULD-BE SUICIDE is
DRAGGED FROM DEATH
Jack Harris Throws Himself in Front
of Engine of Salt Lake
Overland

SAN BERNARDINO, March 10
Jack Harris, who recently arrived
here from the east with his family,
attempted suicide last night by throw
ing himself in front of the Salt Lake
overland as it was pulling out of the
local station. Policeman Soto, who
had been watching the man because
of his strange actions, saw the effort
at self-destruction and dragged him
off the rails. Harris was taken In
charge and examined by two physi-
clans. The man claims that he had
been out of work in the east for long
time, and after coming here had also
been unable to find work. He had be-
come discouraged and had taken to
drink, and while drinking had become
respondent, when he conceived the idea
of taking his life. His wife is seriously
ill, and this added to his troubles. 1t
Is probable that the man will be given
work sufficient to keep his family, at
least for the time being
