Motorists Face Siiffer
Penalties For Violation
Of Law Under New Code

Phoenix. Sept. 15.-In the
course of casual conversation al
the sheriff's office, officials sudden
~ awoke to the fact that an entire
" new set Of penalties for drunk
driving and reckless driving are
crowded by the new highway act,
in effect since August IL.
Drunk driving, formerly punish
able bv from 80 to 90 days inn
prisonment on the first offense and
by six months flat on the second
offense, is penalized under the new
state law at from 80 days to one
year and from 5000 to $4,000
fine. either or both.
No sentences for drunk driving
have been imposed, so far as
known, since the new law went
..nto effect, but there have been
numerous sentences for reckless
driving, and many of those i'm
posed carried a suspension OF the
drivers license for from three to
10 days.
Under the new law. suspension
of licenses vests with the superin-
tendent of the motor vehicle law
exclusively.
Reckless driving, under the new
law. is punishable by a fine of
from $25 to $3.50 and imprison-
ment from five to 80 days. On
the police blotter at the city hall
is the record Of many sentences
this month and in the latter half
Nogales international., 1927-09-16

Of August for less than the minim-
UNI now fixed.
Feace justices and city magi-
strates may furnish records of
conviction to the superintendent
of the motor vehicle division Great
ed by the new act, but it is now
the superintendent who revokes
them, or suspends them. Follow
ing are the causes for which it is
r,andatory upon the superinten-
dent to revoke licenses:
Manslaughter resulting from the
operation of a motor vehicle.
Driving while under the in
fluence of narcotic drugs of in
toxicating liquor.
Perjury or the making of a false
affidavit to the department.. This
clause includes false affidavits Of
exemption from the gasoline tax.
ANY felony in the commission
Of which a motor vehicle is used.
Conviction or forfeiture of bail
upon three charges of reckless
driving. all within the IL preced-
ing months.
Conviction of failure to stop and
disclose identity, by the driver of
any vehicle involved in an acci-
dent resulting in the death or in
jury of another person.
In addition the superintendent
may suspend any Incense, with
out a hearing and without receiv-
ing record of conviction, whether
the division has reason to believe
Nogales international., 1927-09-16

that the driver challenged has:
Committed any of the affenses
which forfeit his license.
Caused or contributed to an
accident resulting in serious prop
erty damage.
Is habitually reckless or negli-
gent or has committed a serious
violation of the motor vehicle laws
of this state.
Where licenses are suspended
without hearing, the driver is
untitled to notification and later
hearing, at which the suspension
may be revoked on sufficient show
ing of good cause.

INSTALLMENT ".

As Mr.. Sauers and Sheriff Hixon
broke through the bushes into the
clearing where the sawmill was
located, they saw four boys, their
faces and hands blackened by smoke,
their clothing torn, their shoes soaked
and steaming. still feebly fighting the
flames. They had almost won, but
their tired bodies, worn out from the
days labor, were not equal to the
task Of finishing the battle.
The two men saw the situation at
a glance. With a cheering word to
the boys. they attacked one pile of
lumber that was blazing brightly and
soon had 1t torn apart. Heartened by
the arrival of the men, the Conquerors
made a last great effort, and after a
few more minutes of shoveling saw
dust and carrying smoking timbers,
the fight was over.

MAKING A PORCH LANTERN

This interesting lantern is ideal for
tn porch. 1t is q close imitation of
tn expensive lanterns which are so
much in vogue today. Although it is
made entirely of tin, when painted to
resemble aged copper or br SIS, it will
prove very much Of a pleasure.
Get a tin can or inches in diam
ct n and 10 or ~ inches deep, and cut
four holes one inch from the top. each
inches in diameter, as indicated.
Paste or otherwise fasten clear var
nished red, blue or yellow paper on
the inside over these holes. single
sheet of the vanished paper can be
co.led and placed inside where it will
remain tightly against the tin.
For the top, get small tin funnel
and remove the neck. Cut three or
four narrow Sits in this near the
edge, then cut down some of the can
top to give strips of tin which can be
inserted through these Sits and bent
over. as the detail shows. The final
assembly. however. should not be done
until you have first inserted your light
cord through the hole and fastened q
socket to the inside end. Screw a
light bulb in this socket, then as.
semble the lantern. 1t will hang from
the cord, the weight of both bulb and
lantern holding everything correctly
in place.
Any suitable finish can be applied.
but 1t should be put on at once to
prevent rusting of the tin. 1t will
be a good plan to wash the parts to
be painted with soap and water so
there will be no grease to prevent the
paint adhering to the surface.
