Chief Field Cites
Continued from Page One)

because of the action of a driver In
suddenly pulling out from the curb,
placing too much reliance on an eX-
tended hand.
The act of putting out a hand
does not relieve such a driver of re-
sponsibility for an accident" said the
chief yesterday. Leaving the curb
without first glancing back to find
out whether or not other cars are
approaching at high rate of speed
is criminally careless"
Parking ones car too near the
middle of the highway is a practice
that must be curbed if accidents are
to be prevented. The average Maine
road is none too wide, and when
cars are parked on the highway on
curves or on top of rises, the owner
of the parked car invites a smash.
and int case one occurs can expect
little sympathy in court"
Faulty brakes cause many of the
worst smashes, and every car owner
and driver should have them tested
frequently to avoid trouble that may
easily result in a fatal accident at
grade crossings, or while driving in
congested traffic areas"
Chief Field is a great believer in
prevention, and he concluded: I'm
der perfectly normal conditions
there is plenty of room for auto
smashes, and the careful driver will
take every possible precaution to
prevent such things from occurring
ON account of faulty mechanism or
Negligent actions in parking in I'M
safe localities"

Immediately with the price of the

sonable length of time. the man not

before Judge Atchley with the result
above stated.
Thirty days in jail was the alter

Pleading guilty the offender said that
he did not have money at the present
time but was working and would
like TO arrange weekly payments.
After more questioning it was decid-

Suspend Half
Score Coastguards
Men in Booze Probe

Asbury Park, N. j., July 22.-(P)-
Ten members of the Coast Guard

ing money to allow liquor to be
landed along the coast. Supt. NJ. w

ed him to deliver eight cases of liz
uor to a restaurant
Eugene Danley of Waretown,
when he was arrested last week, for
having liquor in his possession, told
sheriff Grant he purchased it from

ley would be asked to identify the
men who sold the liquor to him.
Members Of three stations living
between Ship Bottom and Egg Har-
Dor, are involved. according to Ras-
nuSsen.
A cargo of 900 cases of liquor was
landed by the personnel of one OF

An elaborate rojoinder was made

lows:
Great Britain provided sterling and
neutral currencies to meet all her own
requirements throughout the war, and

been able to meet from the resources
