VISIBILITY
is OF IMPORTANCE

Pounding through the night with
black darkness at your sides and be-
hind you. and only a ribbon Of light
piercing the veil in front of you may
bring a thrill. or it may bring disaster.
The narrow country road unfolds, to
be plunged again behind you. You
take the dips and curves, leap over
bridges n culverts. fash past sign
posts. the drumming Of your motor
drowning out all other sounds. That's
the thrill of 1t. But there's others
on the road besides yourself. and that
may bring disaster.
Any motorist who has driven an au-
tomobile at night has experienced an
uneasy feeling when meeting or pass
ing another car where the road-edge
is blotted out by the darkness. and
there is no way to tell how far one
can turn out in safety. Many a
fender has been ripped and bent be-
cause the driver was afraid of going
into the dltch-which he couldn't
see-and more than one serious acct
dent has been due to the inability Of
the driver to see the road-edge.
Even with the advantages of good
headlights and the use of dinners
the driver is badly handicapped unless
he can clearly distinguish the edge of
the road line, and know at a glance
just how far he can turn out. Those
drivers who are fortunate enough to
have hard paved roads in their COM
munities are we'll aware of the advan-
tages of such roads for night driving.
Paved road edges are easily seen In
the darkness. They act as a guide
line for the driver. showing him at a
glance just where the road leaves of
and the ditch begins. There Is no
straining of the eyes when one is
driving. Dark objects are easily dis
tinguished, and a horse-drawn vehicle
or any other occupant of the road can
be clearly seen from a distance
Out in California, where over $500
miles of smooth roads are In use, their
advantage for night driving so APP
pealed to the Los Angeles and Santa
Barbara Motor Express company that
Indt q letIeT WAS sent by tuc mohdScA
Of the company to the Los Angeles
county board of supervisors asking
that ~hard-surface construction be used
In building new roads. This company
operates a feet of trucks over a num-
Der of routes, many Of the trips being
made at night. In mountainous sec
tions the need for clear vision at night
is ever more pronounced than on fiat
stretches of road. for If q driver
should turn out too far to the side of
the road a bad spill might result.
The experience Of this company and
the experiences of all those who drive
at night carry a lesson for the motor
ing public. The driver has been told
time and again to be careful. His
motor club is constantly working on
plans to assure the safety of the auto
owner. Anything that leads to safety
on the road should be given particular
attention, and when new roads are
to be built careful consideration
should be given to the feature OF Wis
ibility at night.

Leakage of Grease Onto
Brake Drums Is Harmful

Another condition that is the result
of warm weather is the leakage OF
grease from rear axle interiors and
the attendant excessive deposits Of
that material on the brake drums, es-
pecially ON the inner periphery against
which the emergency or internal brake
bands act. This reduces braking eff
cheney to a considerable degree and
wherever such deposits are found, they
should be removed by cleaning the
parts thoroughly with gasoline. even If
this should necessitate removing the
wheels to gain access to the brake
drum interior. The leakage is usually
caused by the thinning out of the
grease due to high operating tempera-
lures in the axle interior Scientific

Old Emery Cloth Cleans
Brass Parts of the Car

Some of the brasswork Of the car,
because of Its position and the work
it has to perform, is apt to get into a
rough state that makes it difficult to
keep clean. This applies to the brass
strip edging the running-boards and
the foot-plates On the door sills. Ii
is difficult to clean these with liquid
brass polish, which has the character
istic of staining the surrounding ter
ritory. Including the rubber foot-board
covering. 1t Is better to top using
the liquid here and to polish the
brass with the finest grade of emery
cloth. A piece of this cloth that has
been used somewhat elsewhere, and
so has lost some Of its cut. is best for
this work.

Likening of Auto Tire
to Human Body Helps

The likening Of a pneumatic tire to
a human body is one of the favorite
topics found in manuals circulated by
tire manufacturers for the purpose OF
helping the motorist secure all the
mileage that has been built into the
tire.
The carcass of the tire corresponds
to the bones and muscles of our
bodies. The outer rubber covering
dread and side cushions) protect the
tire as the skin protects u bodies.
Cuts in this rubber must be repaired
to prevent infection. Inflated pres
sure to a tire is what food is to our
bodies.
There is another similarity, how
ever. that has not been described
the tires need of exercise. 1t is a
fact, that a spare tire resists natural
ageing much better If 1t is put into
service for a day every month The
reason for this is obscure, but is prob
ably due to what physicists call mole
cular Encouragement in the rubber
portions of the tire caused by fiexing.
Whatever the cause of the deteriora-
tion, 1t is a fact that a spare carried
month after month without being Tex
ercised' occasionally does not retain
its wearing qualities as well as one
that gets an occasional days use.

CAREER OF BOOTH,
UTAH'S COMMANDER

To his long and successful work In
the American Legion. John g.. Booth,
commander of the department of Utah,
has brought the energy, ability and de.
termined effort which has made his
bushes career as a self-made man an
outstanding success. He is a stalwart
supporter of the principles of the Lee
gion and has time and again proved
himself a true friend OF the service
man.
AS a boy he worked on the farms
and as water boy when the first city
Water works was installed in his home
town of Spanish Fork. He helped to
lay the first cement sidewalk in Span
ish Fork. With the money that he
saved from his work he attended the
grammar schools. BY working in a
drug store after school hours he made
his way through high school. He grad
uated in pharmacy at the University Of
California, went into the drug business,
and is today owner of n of the finest
drug stores in the state.
Mr.. Booth married Miss Beatrice J..
McKeIl in 1917. Mrs. Booth came from
a family of pioneers. When her hus-
band went into the service she ran the
drug store herself.
Commander Booth first served as a
private in the infantry. He was trans

BOY MUST DIE
FOR Staying
IS Year old Lad Sentenced
To Electric Chair

Pottsville, Pa, May 20.-(AP)-A
few minutes after being sentenced
to death in the electric chair for
the murder of his aged grandmother,
15-year-old William Cavalier was
playing jazz mus ic on a monograph
in his room in the detention house.
Since his confession that he killed
his grandmother last September for
the purpose Of robbery, Cavalier, the
youngest prisoner ever to receive the
death sentence in this state, has been
confined in the home of detention
for juveniles. After sentence was
imposed it was reported that he was
to be removed to cell in the county
prison but yesterday no such order
had been issued.
After being returned to his room,
the boy soon was playing lively Sc
lections on his phonograph which
has been his greatest source of
amusement since his arrest. He APP
peared unconcerned as to his fate,
saying that he was not afraid of
dying "in the hot seat" He added
that he would have plenty of
friends who will save me-"
Counsel for the boy announced
they would appeal to the state SUI
preme court for new trial and fail
ing in this would cary the case be-
fore the board of pardons.
Cavalier showed no emotion when
sentence was passed Monday by Judge
Koch.

CAL IMPROVES
IN HEALTH ON

President Is SOunder Today

Washington, May >20.-Calvin Cool

time, but even if he dies in Office
he won't die of being president Of

Instead of wasting away under

the White House probably because
he has taken especially good care Of
it since then. It's his idea that

sors who succumbed to the cares OF

One thing he may die from is be-

may. He missed it by a rather mar

President Coolidge, however. refused
TO confer it on anybody. That cold

He was taking one Of his almost
daily afternoon walks, with his usual
plain clothes guard. Hiking south
wardly down Connecticut avenue,
they came to the point where it in
tersects Rhode Island avenue and NJ
street-a mean place.
The cop had the east and west
traffic held up, to let it pass up and
down Connecticut. 1t looked like a
good time. The president and re-
tinue stepped off the curb and got
nearly half way across the road.
At that juncture the cop, of course
entirely Indifferent to the fate Of
pedestrians, though perhaps he'd
have made an exception in the presi
dents favo, if he'd known twas he
turned the traffic.
The plain clothes men are big,
husky chaps who d fight u lion in the
Presidents defense but they knew
there was no hope of stopping that
herd of charging automobiles. The
whole party simply turned ignomini-
ously and streaked it for the curb
they'd just left.
Well, they got there, somebody
