Naval academy in 1901. Assigned to
the ship Washington, he became gum
merry officer; at that time he was the
youngest officer in the navy to hold
this position.
While the Washington was lying
off Cape Hatteras sailor was washed
overheard In a heavy sea. Risking
his life in the waves, Mr.. Spaff0rd
plunged overheard and succeeded in
rescuing the seaman. His bravery
was recognized in a letter of COM
mendation from the secretary Of the
navy. He rose to the rank of lieu
tenant commander.
In 1914 Mr.. Spafford resigned from
the navy to study law at Columbia
university.
With the start of the war Mr.. Spaf-
ford offered his services to his coun-
try and he was made a lieutenant
commander in the navy reserve
corps. He served for a time as a
member Of the board of inspection and
survey, which was in charge of the
selection of ships to be purchased by
the government. He directed the fit
ting out of the first 25 110-foot sub
marine chasers built for distance serv-
ice and established submarine chaser
base at New London, Conn.
When the American navy became
active In the Straits Of Otranto, Mr..
Spafford was sent to establish sub
marine chaser base at Corfu, Greece,
and later became chief of staff of
that station. He was in charge of all
operations and was on the first Amer
lean submarine chaser which de-
stroyed an enemy ship after locating
1t by the process of sound contact.
When the Austrians surrendered two
battleships and two destroyers to the
United States, Lieutenant Commander
Spafford took them over. Later, he
investigated the situation along the
Dalmatian coast and made a special
report on Fiume to the American
peace delegation at Paris. He re-
ceived the Distinguished Service Med

AVERAGE Life of Motor Cars.

AS highway transportation develops
and passenger cars and truck become
practically the sole means of road
travel, the proportion Of first pur-
chasers of cars and trucks in the total
of car sales will decrease, and the
demand for new cars each year VIII
become more and more nearly equal
to the number of cars which drop out
of service. For this reason it is be-
coming increasingly important for tho
trade to know how many cars will be
required for replacement of those With
drawn from service. Analysis of regis
tration, production, export and import
figures over a period of years leads
to the conclusion that the average life
of two million cars retired from
service in the last seven years was
about 5.3 years--Scientific American.

SAYS ECONOMICAL
RETREAT NO ROUT
Bolshevist Trade Envoy Ex-
plains Russ Situation.

LONDON, Jnne 2.-The communists
controlling Russia have retreated econom-
ically, but they have not been routed,
declared Leonid Krsssin, Bolshevist trade
envoy, in a statement here today ex-
planning the new soviet policy. Kras-
sin, who has just returned from Moscow,
where the Communist party Endorsed Len
ms new program, said that this action
does not mean that Russia will become
capitalistic.'
Industrial reconstruction is going for
ward in Russia" said Krassin. "Tcod
is still the great problem. The failure of
last years harvests, owing to drought,
brought about a terrible shortage. We
stil have some months to go before the
new crop is in. Good rains have fallen
lately and the prospect is much better.
What Russia wants more than anything
else is two or three good harvests.
"As regards any establishment OF
capitalism in Russia, our new peasant
policy is a retreat economically, but 1t
is not rout. Our foreign trade relations
must mean a certain amount Of com
promise. but that does not mean that we
have ceased to be Communists or that

Since Indianapolis in Its traffic crdi-
RANGES already has designated certain
streets or boulevards as preferential trnf-
ic streets and prescribed rules regalGt-
ing traffic there on" persons who have
studied the new law say that 1t will not
apply anywhere in indianapolis, except
possibly at the four Meridian street
crossings. The right of way to tire
right" rule applies, at these points, rot
because of the new law, they say. but
because the city traffic ordinance provides
in subdivision I'd" of Section 4
AT street intersections where silent po-
hcemen are placed, such vehicles entering
such intersections shall not cross The cen
ter Of such interesting street, If at such
time another vehicle is approaching from
its right and about to cross its path
and is at a point within three 81, feet
of such intersection. Such vehicle at the
right shall have the right of way over
Sucn OLner Venlcle.
The traffic ordinance In subdivisions
b" and &C" OF Section 4 establish spe-
cihc rights Of way on every street in
Indianapolis as follows:
"(b) Traffic on north and south streets
shall have the right of way over traffic
on all east and west streets except on
Washington street, and all boulevards as
established by the common council and
the department of park commissioners OF
such city. Traffic on Massachusetts,, In
diana, Kentucky and Virginia avenues
shall have the right Of way over all traf-
&c on other streets.
"(c) On East New York street from the
Big Four Railroad tracks to Emerson
avenue. east and west traffic shall have
the right of way over north and south
traffic"
Motorists who have studied conditions
at the four Meridian street crossings
where the safety devices have been placed
contend that the signs, 'Slow; driver ap-
preaching from the right has right of
way" are having a bad effect because
they are tending to teach drivers that
the car TO the right has the right OF way
all over the city, when such is not the
case at all.
COSFUSIONS
OUTCOME.
With part Of the motorists believing
the traffic regulations to be one way and
the remainder thinking differently, dan
gerous confusion will arise. 1t therefore
is being widely said, and has been
brought to the attention Of the board of
safety, that II the warning signs are to
be left up at all, they should not bear
any reference to right Of way. out rather
should have on them only a simple ad-
monition TO go slow"
Another condition which adds to the
confusion Of those who are honestly try
ing to understand and abide by the
traffic rules is the fact that the silent
cops" and mushroom lights are not
always In working order. For instance,
the mushroom light" at Sixteenth
street was not burning last evening,
during the hours when the greatest after
dinner motor rush is on, but was burn
