Very true. But the earth acts
as a filter and takes out most Of
these impurities from water that
soaks down into it.
That which runs off from the
surface still has its impurities to
which are added other impurities
derived from the surface of the
soil itself. That's the reason you
ought not to use surface water.
But the water that goes down
into the earth is filtered by the
earth until 1t reaches little pocI1-

WRECKED CARS
ON HIG HW A Y
COMMON SIGHT

Due to the horrible condition of
highways and country roads on ac-
count of the rain, which has made
the former treacherously slippery,
and transformed the latter into seas
of mud, automobile smashups are
common sights over the valley today.
This morning three ears were
counted between Imperial and FL
Centre, having skidded into the deep
ditch which parallels the highway on
either side. Four more ears were
wrecked in the neighborhood of See
ley and there. We're two more report
ed between Ell Centre and Calexico.
Evidently none of the occupants of
any of the ears had been injured,
for inquiry at the hospital failed to
elicit information of any accident
eases there. No reports had been
made to the sheriff's office involv-
ing any of the ears which We're seen.
Warning is issued by the local of
flee of the Automobile Club of
Southern California, through G. G.
Tucker, manager, urging motorists
to exercise extreme caution in driv-
ing during the present bad weather
particularly so when passing other
cars, or when making turns. The
use of skid chains is advocated
whenever possible and it is pointed
out that little precaution and
thoughtfulness may prevent serious
accidents and possibly fatalities.
