.Sixteen-foot highways are ques- tionable economy.
 Diminishing safety is too expensive in the light of the very little it saves.
 Figured purely on an insurance basis, it seems purely to compel additional risk to life and property when such a risk can be prevented at comparative ly insignificant cost.
 Any paved road invites traffic. Traf- fife, therefore, increases, and may be expected to continue increasing. And the hazards of travel devlop propor- tionately. Growing traffic on a road of inadequate width is direct invitation to disaster.
 Night driving in particular is risky at best. With the additional handicaps of a wet pavement and glaring head lights, it is positively dangerous! Re stricted width adds to the peril.
 It would seem that the Safety First" opponents might logically divert little of their clamor from the motor ist to those who are responsible for the risks he is compelled to take.
 If that used car of yours makes you feel like q sucker, console yourself by thinking of how many marks" there are in Germany.

SECRET OF HOW
 GROW FAMOUS
Earl Cooper, Studebaker Driver Tells How He
 Started Career

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 24.-- When Earl Cooper pulled into the pits today after tuning up his Studeoaker Special for the international oOO-mlie race at the speedway, May 30, he was anestioned by his old friend, Mayor Lew Shank of Indianapolis, who es racing fan.
 "Listen, Earl" said his honor, T got into politics by getting the ear Of my neighbors as successful auction ger, Now tell me, how did you come to get into this perilous game of play ing bo-peep to a car that's leaplng around a track at ,110 miles an hourT
 Fourteen Years Of Racing
 Cooper, sun-painted veteran of the tracks, grinned.- He borrowed cigaret from the mayor, and said:
 s'Mayor, I've made lots of money out of my fourteen years racing--and l owe it all to my old employer Tn the garage in San Jose, Cal. He flred me under peculiar circumstances = and that started me on my racing career.
 ssY'see, I was just young fellow, working in the garage and salesroom of O. H. fletcher. We'll, one day l boasted that was some pumpkins as racer. So my boss and l agreed on a 25-mile race. You know what funny old gas gondolas they had in those days.
 Finished First 800 Times
 "Well, I beat him-and he fired me. was out of job. So l thought I'd borrow a car and become racer. I won the great Portola race at Oak land, and I've been living on the tracks ever since."
 Cooper, who will pilot the Stude- baker Swcial in the coming gasoline derby, has a record of 300 firsts on the dirt tracks, as well as hundreds of firsts, seconds, thirds and fourths in the greatest races in the country.

WARDS SHOP IS
 ATTRACTIVE ONE.
Many Motorists Find It Profitable Place
 To Shop

The motor car owner who feels the bride of possession as well as of per formance will find Wards accessory shop pleasant and profitable place to visit these fine spring days. It is n pleasant place because there are so many things that a motorist would choose for his car and it is profitable because of the low prices that prevail. No matter how many accessories the average man has on his automobile, a trip to Wards will show him that there is still something that he needs and at a price that he don't mind paynig.
 Wards place is located at IF Twen- ty-frst street, south, and is conducted by John Ward, who assures his patrons of entire satisfaction in every traHsac. tion. He features special prices on au- tomobile. accessories of all kinds, as well as tires, tools and replacement parts for certain cars.
 A special feature this week will be a sale of storage batteries which are offer ed at an exceptionally low price and ad- vertised in Mondays Age Herald.

EVERYONE CAN HAVE
 A FILTERED VOICE
New Device Can Change Bass
 Into Tenor

The radio has done s lot for lone some people. but here's something, which, to even q greater degree. will relieve the tedium of solitude.
 Every man can now be his own male quartet, singing tenor, bass, baritone and second bass, all at the same time ] No longer need one feel isolation Alone in a hall bedroom, the lonely man may stage party" with the usual stage accompaniments, and finish by throwing his arms around his shoulders and singing "The Old Oaken Bucket ? with the booming bass and the tear
 ful tenor both here.
 It's the new electric voice filter, da- veloped by the Western Electric com pany, in its New York laboratory, which thus saves the day--or possibly the night-for the isolationists. Fur thermore, if you're tired of your bass voice, you can turn it into a tenor, by just Q twist of a dial--or vice-versa. Suppose your rendition of Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep" is beginning to leave them cold, when you sing it at the church social You have relief at hand. Just set up a voice filter, in the wings, and spring a surprse by snging 70 Sole mio," in a high tenor. Or. you can just as easily step your self down from tenor to a bass. All this has come about because sounds are not what they seem. In musical tones, a single sound is made up of a number of Aharmonics," or just as one gets a sing ing harmony by striking number of chords on piano. Fhe Altering op- eration merely requires winnowing out the high or low tones, as one may de- sire. One sings into a receiver, the voice is routed through the Altering ma chine and issues from horn in its altered form.
 The voice filter. is q by-prodnct of Western Electric coinpanx researches. involving the cutoff points" in radio, and refinements of teIephoning.

CARTER HAS ENGLISH ACCENT

Just how the belief became current that Howard Carter, the Psychologist, was an American, appears, in the light of revelations at his first lecture, noth- ing short of amazing, says the New York Herald Tribune.
 Mir. Carter spoke to his first public audience recently in Carnegie hall of the "Sahawra" Desert; he '.ashuahed" them on .'behawf" of his colleagues of various reassuring things about Tut ank-Amen. Thirty-four years of grub ping about for ancient tombs and treasure in the Egyptian desert have intensified his British vocal manner isms.
 The subject of the first lecture was Last Years Discoveries It covered Valley of the Tombs of the Kings for the masoleum of Tut-ank-Amen that so-called experts had insisted did not
