THE CENTER OF THE ROAD

Driving tests made by highway
and automobile authorities, show
that the average automobile driver
habitually steers his car from foot
and half to four feet from the edge
of the pavement. Many drivers go
nearer the center than that, and dis
like to come anywhere near the edge.
This habit wears out the roads un-
evenly, and on many roads produces
a tendency toward ruts. This habit is
partly the result of fast driving, as
such drivers have reason to be fear
full of going over the edge. The
above tests show that motorists are
usually more fearful of going of the
side of the highway, than of run
ming into the cars they meet.
The worst feature of the habit Of
driving toward the center, is that it
makes it harder for cars to pass, and
many accidents must result because
some driver would not keep within
a reasonable distance of his edge of
the highway.

SOME PEOPLE of an ignorant
type, seem to think it is smart to
deface or break down public prop
erty. They scribble their names or
various comments in public places,
and some of them will go so far as
to defy public authority by breaking
down or smashing street lights.
Every resident, which includes
the boys and girls, should consider
that he has a share in the public
property, and that these tricks are
about as sensible as 1t would be to
ornament the wall papers Of their
homes with their lead pencils, or

A wreck chart in the divers DOS session shows the location of some 480 wrecks along the coast of Alas ka. Many of them are small boats but a few are good sized ships with valuable cargoes. The two brothers hope to prove the utility of their diving apparatus on the Islander, after which they will seek new worlds to conquer.

BACK TO DIVE FOR ISLANDER;
 WILEYS ARRIVE
Apparatus and Crew oi Men Reach Juneau
 Work Through Winter

The Wiley Brothers, deep sea divers of Seattle, Wash, arrived Tn Juneau yesterday afternoon with their diving apparatus and crew of ten men to continue their op- erations on the wreck of the Is- lander, at the south end of Doug las Island. Their diesel tug, Mary Ellen, and barge tied up at the Cole dock.
 c. H. Wiley, who is in charge of the enterprise, states that their op- erations were discontinued last summer because of poor visibility under water, due in measure to the silt from Taku River. MT. Wiley believes this inconvenience can be avoided to some extent by working in the winter months when the glaciers are inactive and the water discharged by the Taku is more clear.
 Places For Anchorage
 The divers will first cruise the waters adjacent to the wreck and arrange for places for anchorage in severe weather. Capt. C. A. Hayes, who is in command of the Mary Ellen and who is also a diver, believes that the tug and barge, however, can ride through anything l,,,t o oa,or;ra Tokr
 The diving apparatus, for which neither of the brothers has yet found an appropriate name, can ascend without loss of time should a sudden blow come up, an advan- tage which the old Morris equip ment lacked
 Underwater Apparatus
 The underwater apparatus, as de- scribed by diver Wiley, consists of a steel house suspended at the end of cable. The house" is equipped with electric lights, searchlight, telephone, air purifier and oxygen tank and is built to withstand the undersea pressure of 166 pounds to the square inch.
 Mechanical arms operated from the interior of the underwater house by a travelling gear are the means employed to work on the wreck. The arms are interchangeable, and by removing bolts a different length arm or hand can be attached. This mechanical hand has all the work ing parts of human hand and is capable of manipulating various tools such as pliers and hammer. The entire apparatus is controlled by one man in the house and he can remain submerged for five or six hours without discomfort. EX- treme vigilance is not required at the surface, the diver states, and the h oistm men occasionally are caught mapping.
 The Wiley Brothers succeeded in recovering number of souvenirs from the Islander this summer.
