GRAND CANYON BRIDGE
BE HIGHEST IN WORLD


The Grand Canyon Bridge, now
under construction by the Arizona
Highway Department across the
upper end Of the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado River, will be,
when completed, the highest bridge
in the world. This statement is
taken to mean the height from low
water to the roadway grade, which
Is about 467 feet; and so far as
can be ascertained at this time
this height will exceed by many
feet any structure, either highway
or railroad, in the world.
TFere is nothing novel or uni
Que about the structure itself al
though it does involve some diff
ficult and hazardous construction
problems. The main span is
deck arch of 618 feet center to
center of end pins. This arch is
of the usual 3 hinge type, with
battered trusses designed with
reversal stresses for cantilever
erection. The total length Of the
bridge will be 833 feet, with 2
deck trusses of "a feet each on
the north or Fredonia end, and
two deck girder spans on the Flag
saff end, one % feet and one 25
feet in length.
The whole structure carries a
reinforced concrete roadway with
clear width between curbs of 18
feet. The entire bridge is to be
Of structural steel and reinforced
concrete eliminating, as far as
possible, fire hazards and main
tenance.
The location Of the site is 13O
miles almost due north of Flag
staff, the nearest railroad point,
and will eliminate the present
river ferry known as Lees Ferry,
located about six miles, by road,
upstream from the site, and will
also eliminate very narrow and
dangerous piece of mountain road
leading down the face of a bluff
to the present ferry from the
Flagstaff side.

MORE WARMING TO MOTORISTS
Rear-End Collision on the Increase
Can Be Avoided With Proper Care

Rear-end collisions between motor
cars are increasing at such rate, ac-
cording to the Delaware Automobile
Association, that it is deemed neces-
sary to bring the matter forcefully to
the attention of the public, to the end
that drivers may be warned to exer-
else more caution under motoring con-
ditions as they exist today.
'SThere are" says a statement by
the Association, Several reasons for
the epidemic of rear-end collisions.
First is the growing tendency of mo
torists to stop suddenly without any
warning to the cars following. Second
is the increasing use of four-wheel
brakes, which bring the car to a stop
in a distance that cannot be equalled
by cars with two-wheel brakes. Third
is the ineficiency of braking equip
ment.
Probably the third cause is re
sponsible for the majority Of the ac-
cidents, although the others usually
are found to be contributing factors.
If driver travelling 80 miles an hour
decides suddenly to stop at store or
filling station and brings his car to
a quick halt without indicating his in
tention by signaling the drivers fol-
lowing, he is inviting collision. Only
efficient brakes and an alert driver on
the car Immediately in the rear can
avert accident. If the second cars
brakes are ineffective, as is often the
case, a crash is inevitable.
"Our advise to motorists driving
ears equipped with four-wheel brakes
is to consider the other fellows pre-
dicament and use the quick braking
power only in emergencies. To the
other two classes we recommend les
sons in road courtesy and the primary
requirement of safety. Any motorist
who fails to signal his intentions is
unfair to himself and other drivers,
and any car owner who uses or allows
his car to be used with defective
brakes is a menace to the safety of
the highways"
Don't test your brakes on the other
| fellows car.

ATTACK UPON SUSSEX FARMER
Parin Short, Assaulted by Highway
men, Remains Unconscious

Parin Short, the 72-year-old farmer
who was attacked by supposed high
waymen near his home Wednesday
night and found next morning in an
unconscious condition uder his buggy,
is still in a critical condition. He is
being attended by DIR. G. V. Wood.
His age is against him and fears are
entertained for his recovery. The
State highway police and county offic-
ers are working on the case but as
yet have not been able to find any clue
to the man or men who attacked Mr..
Short. His condition is such that the
officers have been unable to question
him much as yet, but he has told
members of his family that he was
pulled from his buggy and hit over
the head with something. Mrs. Short
says a stranger drove up to the farm
house about dusk Wednesday evening
and told them that their daughter,
Mrs. Stella Phillips, of Laurel, was
critically i'll, and wanted them to come
to her as soon as possible. The
stranger then hurriedly drove away
Mr.. Short hitched a mule to buggy
and started for the home of his SON
in-law, Mr.. Lewis, only a few miles
away to get them to go to Laurel with
him and his wife. It was while he
was on his way to the Lewis home
that he was dragged from the buggy
and struck on the head with what is
believed to have been padded club
When found Mr.. Short was uncon-
scious under the buggy which had
been upset. The mule was hitched tc
tree nearby.
Mrs. Phillips, the daughter who
lives in Laurel, was not i'll and knows
Smyrna times., 1927-10-12

nothing about the message which the
stranger delivered as to her supposed
illness. She is now at the home of
her father helping to nurse him.
While Mr.. Short did not have any
money with him at the time it is sup
posed that the highwaymen thought
he generally carried large sum of
money as he is considered wealthy.
There is mystery connected with
the attack and it has aroused much
interest in the locality.
