might driving is rendered safer
by the law which requires all We
hicles to display a red light or a red
reflector in the rear when on the
road at night and this must be dis
PLAYED whether the vehicle Is sta
tionary or in motion. This is a law
which the Hoosier Motor Club has
sponsored for years without success
until the recent session of the Gen
eral Assembly. The law should
eliminate great number of acct
dents at night.
Paved roads may become open to
the public sooner now that law
has been passed which enables the
road contractor 20 build bridges up
to and including a fifty-foot span.
Under the old law the road con-
tractor was not allowed to build
bridge where the span was more than
twenty feet. In times past and with
in the memory of all motorists the
public would read with elation that
some road was all paved but that the
bridges must yet be built and then
the public would wait six months
longer for the bridges. Other bridge
laws enacted include permission to
build bridges across the Ohio River
at Evansville and New Albany.

Go Into Effect as Soon as
Acts Are Printed Early
in May.

Twenty new laws governing the
operation of motor cars will become
operative in Indiana about May 10
when the acts of 1927 are expected
to be printed. This is about the
usual number added to the statute
books every two years, according to
James Duane DUNCAN, Hoosier
Motor Club president.
"Of the twenty laws enacted which
effect the average motorist, directly
or indirectly" said DUNCAN, there
are nine which stand out prominent
ly. The speed limit on the open
road has been raised from thirty five
miles an hour to forty miles an hour
and it is now unlawful to drive at a
speed less than reasonable on the
main travelled highways. This law
will greatly aid the travellers who
have some definite objective in mind
and will curb the loafer who has no
place to so and who likes to poke
along.

Dodge Bros new factory in which
the company's new line of higher
priced motor cars will be built is now
completed and the work of installing
machinery is being rushed as rapid
ly as possible. The factory has been
built expressly to provide facilities
for the manufacture of the new cars
and will be one of the most modern
in the automotive industry.
Work on the new structure was
started last year and was pushed at
top speed throughout the winter that
the building might be completed and
machinery placed early this spring.
The giant building is located at
Lynch road, between Mt. Elliott and
Van Dyke, adjacent to the Graham
Bros, factory.
Another important feature of the
new plant is the provision for hand.
ling incoming and outbound freight.
The two lines of railroad track enter
the factory at one end and extend
almost it's entire length, accomodat-
ing seventy standard freight cars at
one time.

Thirty to Ninety Days.

Extension of the thirty day free
entry granted to motorists from the
United States to ninety days, was
the announcement made recently by

excise. 1t was granted TO conform
to the privilege granted by United
States authorities to Canadian tour

The permits are subject to two
thirty day extensions if the tourist

detour was established. Heretofore
no detours off State highways were
maintained by the highway commits
sion and some were in a deplorable
state before the detour was lifted.
This law should save the Hoosier
motorist thousands of dollars in auto
mobile upkeep expense. The same
law provides that where bridges are
being repaired or rebuilt the high
way commission shall construct run
arOunds if practical.
Uniforms for all police officers
making arrests on the public high
ways is compulsory. In the past it
has been hard for the motorist,
stopped on the road, to determine
whether he was confronted by high
way men, bandits, highjackers or
peace officers.

long been advocated as a means Of
creating more business for cities.
The farmer or tourist who comes to
a city expecting to make some pur-
chases often goes away because he
can find no place to park.
THE above laws were all spon-
sored by the Hoosier Motor Club and
the club feels that the General AS
sembly of 1927 produced some fine
legislation for motorists of Indiana
and that the whole State will bene-
fit as a result of the new laws which
will soon become effective. Members
of motor clubs in Indiana are graft
fed to know that the General AS
sembly was responsive to their leg
islative program which was decided
upon after a straw vote had been
taken from the membership.

Indianapolis Auto Exchange, of the
appointment of Harry Page as man
ager of the used car market. Page

eight years and in that time has
supervised the sale of thousands of

officers of the Indianapolis Auto Ex-

ability of Page. During his work on
Motor Row, Page built up a large
top speed throughout the winter that

used cars.

The
Tail Light
By Swede Swanson

Speed, slow and fast, is what
makes driving on the highways so
dangerous. That's the discovery of
the traffic committee appointed by
the Chicago Association of Com
merce.
This committee finds that road
hogs aren't the only selfish drivers to
watch. There are the slow polks,
who creep along at ten miles an
hour, but insist on taking the middle
of the road regardless of others.
The result is an attempt to pass
such slow drivers on the right as
we'll as on the left, hoping against
hope that they won't suddenly decide
to get over toward the side of the
highway. The horn, in many cases,
seems to be ineffective. There's no
law that affects them. They go
serenely on.
Police, however, might make it a
practice to arrest such slow polks,
as they would the road hog and
speeder, and charge them with OBJ
structing traffic.
This not only might cure the slow
driver, but it might eliminate
the necessity of taking dangerous
chances by cutting around them or
passing them to the right.

AUTO BUSINESS
ON INCREASE FOR
SPRING MONTHS
Several Companies Ahead
of 1926 ProduC-
ton.

Retail automobile sales are gain
ing with each succeeding week, ac-
cording to B. Fl. Cram. president of
Grams Automotive reports. Whether
business will mount to such proper
tons as to set new sales records is
not known, but it is regarded GER
tain that April, May and June will
show up as the best sales months Of
1927.
The first quarters business will
be anywhere from 10 to Is per cent
lower than it was for the same pc
riod last year. as will be production.
Official output figures for the first
two months show the industry to be
1895 units behind that of the same
months last year and 36,041 ahead of
1925.
Several Gain
Several of the companies are
ahead of their last years production
and sales records despite the slow
ing down of the industry following
the effects of very disappointing
practically all instances of gains
over 1926, new models or lines have
been introduced by the companies so
reporting.
The public is demanding and buy
ing only the latest automobiles, &C.
cording to Cram, and those are the
ones that meet the standard of ap-
pearance, performance and service
that has been set up and apparently
accepted.
New Policy
In the past, production has been
the keynote with the leading pro-
ducers/ and anything that interfered
with it was done reluctantly and
only when forced.
Now things are being done at all
times to make the cars more salable;
and instead of waiting for the time
when they are forced to make
changes, manufacturers are looking
ahead and anticipating the moves
necessary to keep volume at steady
pace and having them ready to put
into effect as soon as the slightest
indication of a slowing down is felt.

Big Floods Looked
For Soon at Yuma

The city of Yuma, the Imperial
valley of California and Lower Cali
fornia in Mexico will face flood con-
ditions within the next six weeks that
may exceed the disaster of 1920 when
the Colorado river burst through its
dikes at Volcano Lake, Mexico, inun-
dating thousands of acres of fertile
Imperial valley lands, it was an
nounced at that place last week at
the United States weather bureau.
That the next six weeks will de-
termine whether the delta district of
the Colorado river will face flood con-
ditions that "conceivably might be
very disastrous" was admitted by
James H. Gordon, meteorologist, in
charge of the Yuma federal weather
station.
Gordon said that the snow pack on
the watersheds of Colorado, Utah and
Idaho at the present is the greatest
in years. The government estimate
places 80 per cent more snow than
normal in the mountain reaches OF
the Colorado and its tributaries. The
run off has for some time been be-
low normal, the meteorologist said,
and that a sudden and continued
warm spell in the upper basin reach

said quarrel arose, tainted after
leaving the jury room. She had re-
lated her version of the party ard
it's fatal climax.
Mrs. Anita Isabel, known ON the
screen as Anita Davis, also was be-
fore the jury. Her husband, Henry
Isabel, and Joe Hunt, both film
extras, were expected to testify con-
corning the shooting. All were the
guests of the Kerricks at what they
admitted was nearly an all-night
drinking party.
Isabel and his wife, Hunt and Miss
Burns, are being held as material
witnesses. Police detectives said Mrs.
Isabel declared Mrs. Kerrick shot her
husband with a gun borrowed from
Hunt. She told the police the Ker-
ricks had quarreled over his attentions
to Miss Burns, and that Mrs. Kerrick
and Miss Burns had fought during the
night. The gun, with two empty
shells, was found under the table.
Henry Isabel is well known in
Flagstaff where he made his home
for number of years.

KILLED AND ATTEMPT
MADE TO BURN HOME

Levi S. Udall and Sheriff Maxwell
left Tuesday evening to investigate
the murder of Antonio Lucero, which
happened at McNary some time last
week.
Very little seems to be known about
the affair. It seems that the house
in which Lucero was living was dis
covered to be on fire, the alarm was
given and the fire put out and upon
further investigation the remains Of
I.ucero were found in the ruins. HIS
head had been crushed, and the body
was badly burned and charred almost
beyond recognition or Identification
Thus far the murderer or murderers
have not been apprehended, but it is
reported that there are some suspects
under surveillance and it is very likely
that the right man viii soon be ap-
pretended.

Auto Makes Trip From
Phoenix to Canyon and
Back in Twelve Hours

Several Flagstaff citizens and
representative from The Sun turned
out last Friday at Webber Brothers
garage to welcome Charles H. Nc
Arthur, president of Macarthur
Brothers of Phoenix, state distrib-
utors of Dodge cars, and Senator Har-
low Akers, secretary and treasurer Of
the Arizona Gazette, who weer making
the first "Dawn-to-Dusk automobile
run from Phoenix to Grand Canyon
and back between sunrise and sum
set. Macarthur was driving a stock
model Dodge car and made the run of
213 miles from Phoenix to Flagstaff
in five and one-half hours, using the
Jerome Schnebly Hill road, which was
found in bad condition. The driver
and his time checker left Phoenix at
Alb a. m. and arrived at the Canyon
at 1852. Leaving the Canyon at
1852, the "Dawn-to-Dusk" car COM
pleted the return journey to Phoenix
at 6:45, or a little under six hours.
The "Dawn-to-Dusk" trip was made
by Macarthur for the Gazette to prove
the accessibility to Arizona's beautiful
northland, where summer vacation
grounds are now welcoming the popu-
lation of the south part of the state.
The trip proved the road to be in
excellent condition for travel and that
the journey to the Canyon is now not
such an undertaking as the motorist
really believes it to be.
Mr.. Macarthur reported that the
Maine-C Canyon road is in much better
shape than the Williams road to the
Canyon, it taking the machine one
hour and 20 minutes to complete the
run over the former route and one
hour and 3S minutes over the latter.

the keynote address before the Cali

ignorance is not innocence, the pub

He pointed out that it is an indi-

biological problems with children as

an evasion of responsibility to turn
the matter over to an old maid school
