QUESTION No. IL.
Benefits of Good Roads.

What special benefits may be ex-
pected from building this road?
| have assumed that all our people
are educated TO the tremendous adj
vantage Of good roads. but there is
one special benefit we will reap, and
that j. the tourist trade.
Why should not this section rival
California and Florida for winter
tourists. and also get a large summer
tourist business from our own state?
We think Of the vast gold mines,
wheat fields. citrus groves. walnut
orchards. vineyards. etc, of CalifOr-
na; YET in 1919 the tourist trade,
like the Goddess Of Fortune, poured
like the Horn Of Plenty more than
eight million dollars more money
into the lap Of California than all
these crops put together.
Shall we let the ''manana' bugs
continue 70 bite Us, or shall we wake
up and grasp this wonderful oppor-
tunity trying TO break into our midst
with a batterirg ram? Why, even
with dirt roads, the auto tourists
are coming right now, to small eN-
tent.

Man Seriously Injured
in Automobile Accident

jurics consist of a fracture at the
base of the skull, and half OF his
right ear was cut off. The portion
was sewed back on.
: Sanchez's wife, his two children.
n Mrs. Garcia and a Miss Gonzales
were occupants of the car with San
chez. The others all sustained slight
injuries and were attended by DR..
] w. Vinsant Of San Benito soon
after the accident One of the chill
dren had cut lip.
Deputy Sheriff Joe Ballinger of
San Bsnito. who investigated the ac
cident. denied today that the auto
mobile in which the Sanchez party
was riding was struck from the rear
by another automobile. He said
that one of the women was driving
the car, and it seemed that in en-
deavoring TO turn out off the road
the Gu: was made too short and the
car turned over. He said that
George Espey of San Benito and a
party from San Benito had just
passed the car when one Of the chill
dren in the Espey car, looking back,
told Espey that the other car had
turned over The Espey car turned
back. and they righted the SANCHEZ
car and placed Sanchez and the 9th
ers III the Espey car and took them
10 San Benito, where they were given
surgical attention by Or. Ninsant.
Sanchez later was brought TO the
Divine Providence hospital in this
city by the Hinkley ambulance of
Brownsville.
Ballinger said that he examined
the Sanchez car, and having heard
the report that the car was struck
from the rear. looked for evidences
of a collision. He declared there
was nothing TO indicate that the car
had been struck. and that such dam
age as was found would have oc-
CURED only because the car turned
over. The automobile was brought
into Brownsville last night by W. \.
King under its own power.
