OF the children killed-and here is

Only one child was killed at regu-

trucks or horse drawn vehicles, run

The Long Island Automobile Club
Is taking the initiative in a further
study of the grade crossing danger.
Long Island, next to New Jersey, is
one of the most prolific harvest
grounds for the grim reaper at rail-
way crossings here I'm the east.
The middle west seems to have gone
into the lead this year in grade cross
ing accidents. but II is evident the
entire country is aroused by the
constantly increasing number of
fatalities from this cause.
Want Crossings Guarded.
Naturally the hope OF the motorists
is TO eliminate the grade crossings
entirely, but, failing that. they are
making a fight to have all such
crossings properly guarded day and
night. Only too often the signs
warning of a crossing are placed
right at the tracks, instead of some
200 or 800 yards down the road.
At such points IL is generally impos-
sible for the motorist to bring his
machine to q stop. Members of the
Evening star., 1923-10-21

Long Island club insist that the
gr de crossing accidents are the most
easily prevented of all the dangers
that beset the motorist.
Consideration is being given, how
ever. to the accidents which happen
along the open road. Most OF these
are found to be due to the narrow
ness OF the auto roads in general
Machines slide off the paved sur
face at high speed and turn turtle.

BESSEMER AUTOISTS WILL JOIN CLUB HERE

Organization There To Dissolve.
 New Division Planned
 Fresh activity of the Birmingham Automobile club, said Frank Stevens of the Stevens Motor company, has
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-11

just recently developed in regard to the city of Bessemer. The motor car owners there, realizing the worth and necessity of a club, ~and being desirous of assisting for the general good of the people, have made application to the Birniin sham Automobile club for utilization.
 The Bessemer club has 9 small membership. but is going to dissolve their club and join the Birming ham organization as a Bessemer division. This shows a very meritorious spirit of cooperation and the Birmingham club welcomes them as a whole and it is expected to add at least 500 members to the clubs membership roll in Bessemer.
 The club has also been approached along the same lines of organization by Cullman and Jasper as well as Gadsden and Anniston, they all be- ing desirous of assisting by their cooperation in backing up the good roads movement by concentrated ef- fort directed toward the use of the gasoline tax upon tho roads where it belongs and is intended instead of going to the counties and general fund.

THOSE PAWNEE SCOUTS

Edward L. oaDin, III <Au'eHeoio Magazine. In the sixties Major (then First I.ieutenant) Frank J. North of the
 Pawnee reservation was authorized to raise a company of the Pawnees for scouting service on the plains Eventually a battalion was formed, Eveneutlly a battalion was firmed. each company under a chief and all under the white commander. An earnest effort was made to drill and discipline the scouts; and they really performed simple evolutions very well. As fighters of their he- reoitary foes they were whirlWinds. Further to impress upon them their role of soldiers, they were issued uni forms-obsolete Civil war black hats,

 Upon the first march thereafter

 been transferred to the ponies heads with the ponies ears sticking up
 through holes. The blouses were
 worn like short mantles, with the arms tied about the braves necks, or
 else had been discarded in favor of
 naked hide. And the entire seats of
 the pants had been cut out, so that
 the two sections were retained
 merely by the belt at the waist. | In the first charge away went the

YELLOW CAB NOT TO

CHICAGO Ill., March 10.-The Yell low Cab Manufacturing company will not take over the manufacture of R. & V. motor cars; neither will it use Knight motor in it's manufac- ture of taxicabs. While the company has purchased the R. & V. motor plant at Moline, Ill, it,is only for the purpose of building engines for the Yellow Coach Manufacturing com pany. and other manufacturers of commercial vehicles" according to information contained in a statement signed by President J.

ACCELE: RAT0R AID. VULCANIz|NG IF. AUTOMOBILE TIRE
Placed In Rubber Stock It Ex- pedites Manufacture, Hast ems Production and Pro-
 notes Efficiency

"
 Just as there is an accelerator in every automobile, so is there an ac- celerator in every tire on the car. It is placed in the tire at the fac tory and its function is just the same as that of its namesake in the car. It is designed to make It go faster" vixen the tire is being vulcanized. It Is compound that is mixed with the rubber. A tire could be vulcan ized without 1t, but so much time would be required that the intense heat would tend to disintegrate the rubber.
 vulcanization is . slow process at best, and research men in all of the tire factories devote many hours to the development of some accelera- tor that will expedite manufacture. The time consumed in yulcanization runs from GO to 70 minutes in the smaller sizes or four hours in the big pneumatic truck tires. according to chemists of the Miller Rubber company.
 Accelerators have been developed which would bring about vulcaniza- minutes. But that kind of vulcani- zation would only cement tho va rious parts of the tire together.
 Such tire could not withstand the punishment of road service much longer than the time required to vulcanize it. The amount and nature of foreign substances mixed with the rubber would ruin it's elasticity and toughness.
 The accelerator is placed in the different kinds of rubber stock in just such proportion as it Is needed. For example, the tread of the tire is nearest the heat when vulcanization takes place. Therefore, the tread does not need as much eccelerator as the rubber which is impregnated into the innermost ply of fabric. The intense heat does not get to this inner ply nearly so quickly as 1t does to the tread.

INCREASED FLEET OF RED TOP CABS FOUND NECESSARY
Jenkins Says More Cabs Are Needed to Take Care of Rapidly Increasing
 Fares

The splendid reception accorded the Rec Red Top cabs by the Birming- ham public is cause for great gratifi- cation to the Jenkins Cab and Auto company, which concern operates these attractive new taXicabs. Henry Jenkins says that he has found 1t expedient to send telegraphic orders for additional equipment already, all though the Red Tops have been oper- ating in Birmingham for only couple of weeks.
 Fred Dunlap, a member of the Jen- kins firm, stated that he had ex- pected it would be necessary to order additional cars for the Red Top service, but had hardly hoped such additions would be necessary so soon. Mir. Dunlap says: We are determined to give the Birmingham public the best possible taxicab service for we are firm in our faith in the possi- bilities of modern, up-to-date serv- ice in the Magic City and we believe we have selected the very best cars in the world for the Red Top serv- ice"
 Red Top cabs are striking and at tractive in appearance and are manned by drivers schooled and trained and selected for their cour- tesy and ability. The convenient sta tions of the new cabs are an added advantage to this service. Red Top cabs are equipped with Dinner meters and rates are attractively reasonable and the cars are completely sanitary and unusually comfortable.

What is the ansWar2

| What is the answer?
In "Prodigal Daughters" a Sam
Wood Paramount production with
Gloria Swanson as the star, which
| comes to the Kenworthy theatre Mon
day and Tuesday, the answer is a
smashing surprise that will make the
audience gasp.
A frenzy of extravaganza in which
the thoroughly liberated woman OF
today is shown plunging full tilt into
the maelstrom of reckless behavior,
is followed by a climax that is unique
in motion picture production.
Gloria Swanson as "Swiftie" For
bes, the young woman who seeks a
new way to break the Ten Com
mandments +" is shown in a role strik-
ingly different from anything she has
attempted heretofore. Ralph Graves,
regarded by many as one of the
handsomest actors on the screen, and
playing opposite Miss Swanson, gives
an effective presentation of the young
mar who clings to clean ideals and
fights to preserve them. Finally,
there is Theodore Roberts, veteran
character actor, who is excellent as
the successful and dismayed head of
a family that has, somehow, grown
too modern for his old fashioned
understanding.
