Big Victory for Smith

SAN FRANCISCO, May with
only a few precincts not reported.
the triumph of Governor Alfred E.
Smith of New York in Tuesdays
California presidential primary to-
day appeared even more convinc-
ing.
Smith, who by his victory gained
the support of the thirty California
delegates for the forthcoming Dem
ocratic convention in Houston,
continued to draw away from his
opponents, Senators James A. Reed
of Missouri and Walsh of Montana.
Reports from 8,037 of the States
1854 precincts showed the following
figures:
Smith, 13O,497; Reed, 1888, and
Walsh, 1902.
On the Republican side the re-
turns represented a monotonouS
increase in the vote for Herbert
Hoover, whose candidacy was I'M
opposed in this State. In the same
number of precincts the Secretary
of commerce polled 550,O75 votes.
One of the late returns was from
Santa Barbara County, summer
home of William c. McAdoo, who
led the fight for Senator Walsh in
the primary contest. The county
voted overwhel mingly for Smith,
almost complete returns giving the
New York Governor a 2 70 l
plurality.
Compilation of the vote probably
will be completed today.

A|RSHIP HOPS
TO BASE FOR
POLAR FLIGHT
First Stop of italian Dirig-
ibIe Will Be on Northern
Tip of Norway.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
STOLP, Germany, May 3.-The
giant dirigible Italia, with which
Commander Umberto Mobile plans
to fly over the north polar region,
today glided through northern
skies en- route to Vadsoe, Norway.
The dirigible will pause at Vad-
soc for refueling and then continue
on to Kingsbay, Spitzbergen, base
for the polar flight expedition.
Watchers reported the Italia
passing over Arholma, Sweden,
northeast of Stockholm, at l p. m.
today, following the coast line.
Fair Flying Weather
The airship is expected to arrive
at Vadsoe around noon Friday.
Fair flying weather was reported
from along the entire course that
the dirigible must take on its 1,160-
mile flight to the northern tip Of
Norway.
1t was shortly after a. m. that
the Italia-which had been wheeled
from the hangar earlier in the night
-glided slowly into the air and
pointed north toward the ultimate
polar goal.
The start was delayed somewhat
because the Italia was found to be
too heavily loaded and some Of the
supplies had to be removed.
Bars Alcoholic Drinks
Once the ground ropes were I'M
iooSed, however, the big lighter
than-air craft gathered speed and
steadily rose to about 200 meters
altitude.
The nose of the vessel was pointed
directly into the north and it soon
disappeared over the horizon.
Mobile had made careful plans
for the departure. He had been at
the flying field for some time and
had watched the loading of great
quantities of food. He barred all
alcoholic beverages.
Then he announced that the
Italia would be flown to VadSoe,
which was deviation from a previ-
ously announced plan to refuel at
Oslo. The trip to Vadsoe is a
longer flight and will put the
Italia within 600 miles of the
Kingsbay base.
Farewell for Mobile
Attendants we're ordered at Vad-
soc with supplies to aid the refuel-
ing of the polar dirigible.
Before departing Mobile was given
a farewell, an affair attended by his
wife and daughter.
Representatives of Italian and
German governments were present
to wish the Italian explorer success
on his venture.

What Does an Engineer
Think of a Reckless
Auto Driver?
BY BOB O'HARA

The headlights of a car, blazing
across the track ahead-winking
signals, barely visible-tile power
Of thousand horses straining at
control-thats the combination
that turns a railroad engineers
hair gray, at least when he's still
nothing but a rookie.
Speeding through the dark, with
hundred or more sleeping passengers
dependent on him for their lives,
who knows what an engineer
thinks when a reckless motorist
throws his automobile across the
limited's path? I do, brother!
wanted to see how it felt to
ride a locomotive. I walked into
the Big Four ticket office to see
j. N. Lemon, the passenger agent.
Mr.. Lemon" I said, I'D enjoy
riding the front end on one of your
bang-up trains"
Borrows Some OveralIs
"The Big Four don't run any
'bang-up' trains" he cracks back,
land you won't enjoy it. But you
get your ticket. I'll get you per-
nit to ride the engine. Just sign
all your rights to life and liberty
away-right on this dotted line"
There was swell looking girl
looking at me. 1t was too late to
back out. I signed.
1 put on pair of borrowed over
allS, and grabbed the Southwestern
at 2 p. H., Tuesday. This is the
fastest long distance train in he
world, they tell me.
At Bellefontaine, Ohio, I climbed
aboard the engine, for al mile
ride, without a stop.
We were two minutes late leaving
and eight minutes early when we
got to Cleveland. That's Just 166
minutes for al miles-a fifty-one
mile-an-hour average.
Green Light Is Beacon
The engineer was Art Lynch; the
fireman, Gus Otto. Both live in
Cleveland.
Motorists refuse to pay attention
to block signals.
Il was sitting peacefully beside
Gus, the fireman, when Art, the en-
gineer, called me over.
"Sit down in front of me-" he
shouted in my ear. Nov, blow that
whistle! Two long ones and then
two shorts. That white sign, with
the w on 1t means whistle.
when you see one of those, blow
Watch to see that there are green
lights along the side-every mile.
Don't stop for anything less than
a red light You've heard 'em talk
about 'standin' her on her head?
Well, the power required to stop her
now would lift this whole train ITS
feet in the air. I'm going out for a
walk"
He Misses the MOtorist
My eyes glued to the rails ahead,
cramped on the whistle, and was
thankful for another green light
ahead.
About five miles, or four minutes
later, saw the cleaning headlights
of a car angling across ahead of
me-
They crept closer and closerl
Would he stop? No! The car
scooting across! Sure to hit it.! My
God!
And we missed him by fully $50
yards!"
Weak and shaking, I stole a
glance at the fireman across the
cab. He was grinning.
Then heard guffaw almost in
my ear-Art, the engineer, was
standing right behind me, all the

AU1O|STS BEING CHECKED BY COPS State Police After Unlicensed
 Drivers TRICK CAMPAIGN AS WELL Meeting of tho American Legion 
NfcAing of the American Legion IuNiliary-COmnun Center As-
 ociation Starts Membership Drive-Eather Brennan Returns

The drive against overlooking of tuck which is being conducted in Berlin took q new angle today when he state police department decided to extend the drive against touring car drivers by asking for licenses. This morning the department as signed three state officers 10 work at the scale on the Berlin turnpike instead of the usual force of two.
 \ number of drivers have bacn careless about renewing their ljcens- es for this year and the police have decided to make a drive against these. This morning the officers stopped every car that came by the scales and required the drivers to show their license and registration papers.
 The three officers were kept busy all morning. At times there were from 15 to 20 touring cars waiting ill line for inspection by the officers. Meanwhile the drive against the overlooking of trucks continues. One driver furnished a bit of comedy as he approached the scale. Apparently becoming afraid that the police would find his truck overloaded, he decided 10 turn around and return the way he had come. One of the officers started after the driver who quickly changed his mind and turn ed tho truck around again.
 The police obtained wonderful re- suits in it's drive last November against Niolators of the motor ve- hiclc laws in regard to headlights, tail lights, etc, and Commissioner Robert Hurley of Hartford stated that the results obtained from that drive has prompted him to conduct the latest drive against overlooking by trucks. During the month of January court records around the state showed many cases of over loading by trucks and this prompted the state police department 10 start their drive at once. Six more scales are being constructed around the various highways in the state, the one in Berlin being the first ono to be put in operation.
