show how much more economical of
body energy motor-dfiven sewing ma
chine is when compared with one
driven by foot-power or with hand
sewing.
Most women realize that they work
harder and put forth more muscular
effort when they run sewing machine
for an hour with their feet than when
they sit and sew for the same time by
hand, though of course, they accom-
plish more with the machine. For ex-
ample, in hemming sheets, it takes
about six times as much energy to run
the foot-drfven machine for an hour
MS it does to sew by hand for that
length of time. at the ordinary rate,
but two yards can be hemmed with the
amount of energy required for one by
hand and in much less time Probably
II yards could be hemmed on the sew
ing machine while one was being, done
by hand.
Energy Required.
When the electrically driven machine
was used i'm the departments investf-
cations the energy. required per hour
was not quite twice that used for hand
sewing. It was only one-fourth as
much as that needed to run the foot
driven machine. The energy used per
yard was about one-fifth of that used
with the foot-driven machine, and less
than one-tenth of that for thanksgiving.
IN other words, even if the machine
\ dido not sew any faster or finish a
greater number Of yards in an hour,
when run by an electric motor. the
mother would be less tired when she
had finished a given amount of sewing
than IL she had pedaled the machine.

Joke Was On
Harry Who Did
the Ares ting

An aftermath Of the arrest of
Alisco Mezo, by Harry Horton, chief
deputy district attorney, as told in
yesterday Press, has developed in
to a good joke on the county Off
cial. who has beer sport enough to
tell it on himself.
Following the action Of Judge
Mayfield, in imposing fine Of $25,
Mezo said he didn't have the money
bat believed lie could get it from
his employer. As his car was at the
county Jail, the court agreed TO hold
it for security and allow him to
seek the assistance of his employer.
Mr.. Horton asked Mezo where he
was working, and the latter des-
cribed the ranch and said he knew
the boss would help him pay his
fine. The district attorney was
dumfounded when Mezo described
his own ranch, which he has leased
to other parties. The suggestion
was made that Harry pay the man 3
fine, but he lodged this responsible
ity and Mczo succeeded in raising
the money from the party leasing
the ranch.

DON'T LET The
KIDDIES PLAY
ON The STREET
Vacation Days Bring
VexatiOus Problems
to Motorists

Vow that school is over and the
long summer days stretch ahead of
hundreds OF carefrce Youngsters OF
this city, the time seems ripe for a
reminder TO both children and par
cnts that just now the slogan of the
Automobile Club Of Southern Cali.
fornia ''Play i'm the field, not in
the street, should be acted upon.
We who live in the smaller towns
are prone to pride ourselves on the
advantages we are giving our child
rcn in bringing them up outside the
busting cities, with their crowded
Fairgrounds and rushing traffic. We
realize that the metropolis has 4
very real problem in keeping her
little folks out of the way of grind.
ing wheels, but frequently we stop
short right there.
DO you realize, Mrs. Mother and
Mr.. Father, how many Of the child
rem right here in our own FL Cen
tro are endangering their lives daily
in the streets in front of their own
roomy yards? Onr Of the members
Gf the Press staff has been checking
up on the situation since school
closed, and finds the number Of kid
dies who seem to make Il practice of
using the street for a play spot very
large indeed.
Here Are Examples
Saturday one group of enterpris-
ing small boys were engaged in rae
ing with spare tires down one block.
One particularly talented youngster
curled himself inside his tire and

street with his chosen vehicle quite
cut of control.
In another block de gang" was
sprinkling something invisible to the
passing autoist on the pavement
which exploded with series Of
staceato reports at the passing of
each car. In another place a bals
game was. in progress, and in still
another the agonized squeal of
quickly set breaks and two streaks
of rubber on the pavement told of
drivers response to 4 race between
two little girls ami their small pup.
There is no need Of pointing
moral to adorn this tale. 1t S simply
a ease of big folks and small folks
ali doing their best to avoid broken
legs or broken hearts.
And much of the responsibility
lies with the mother, who must teach
the kiddie from his cradle days that
the street is NOT a playground and
that he must confine his activities
