ports in the United States and
5000 miles of lighted airways and
that by the end of the year there
will be 5000.

change in our lives as motor trans
portation has BEEN"

TWO HURT WHEN
AUTOS COLLIDE
HUDSON SIDESWlPED BY
BUlCi, ON HIGHWAY
NEAR LORENZrS. BOTH
CARS BADLY DAMAGED

Clouds Of dust, too much speed
and a missing headlight combined
TO produce another automobile
wreeK last evening
Both cars we're heavily damaged
but fortunately the occupants re-
ceived only minor injuries.
According to spectators a Buick
sedan driven by Jack Pembroke
turned from the main Las Vegas
and Tonopah highway onto Clark
Avenue, coming towards town,
at a good rate of speed. A Hudson
sedan, belonging to j. w. Woodland
and driven by Bernard Durkin
was proceeding west on Clark Ave-
nue., at what was described as an
extremely high rate of speed.
The Hudson displayed only one
headlight, and clouds of dust fill
led the air on account of the
heavy traffic to LorenZi's Resort.
Apparently Durkin became con-
fused ana crowded too far to the
left Of the road. Pembroke, see
ing the single headlight approach
ing, and being unable to see which
side it was on, because of the dust
slowed down and crowded over
to the extreme riht of the road
so that his right whees were in
the ditch, but the Hudson came
Sraiht ahead and sideswiped the
Buick, breaking the left front
wheel, left front and rear fen
ders, and badly damaging the
body and frame.
Durkin was thrown out of the car
and badly shaken up. He recei-
we'd a bad cash on the left arm
which required fourteen stitches to
close 1t was thought this morning
that the arm might have been
fractured.
Wendall Bunker, who accompan-
led Jack was thrown through
the wind shield and received a
cut on the head. Lawrence Higbie
and George Ball we're also pas
sengers in the Buick. The boys
had been to the dance at Lorenzi
and were on their way home at the
time of the accident.
Durkin was accompanied by two
young ladies whose names were not
learned, but they were reported
uninjured aside from the bad scare
The Hudson was badly wrecked
Roscoe Thomas, accompanied by
Mrs. Thomas, and by Mr.. and Mrs.
A. M. Minnette, was coming from
Lorenzi's directly behind the Penn
broke machine. The party stopped
and rendered first aid, taking
the injured ones to the Las Vegas
hospital, where DR.. F. M. Fer
guson took the necessary stitches.
