JOHN A, (. WARNER
 SPEAKS IN BOSTON
Former Putnam Boy Is Now Re search Engineer For Stu
 debaker Corporation
Incompetent Driver. Make Automo-
 bile Unsafe

John A. c. Warner, research en- gineer of the Studebaker Corporation. son of Mrs. E. NJ. Warner, Putnam, while in Boston recently to participate in the highway safety conference, made some interesting statements dur ing his address.
 He outlined what automotive mak- CTS had done through making vehicles almost fool proof as contributing to lessening accidents.
 Showing that 1t was not uncom- mon in the early days to have a wheel roll of, an axle would break, steering knuckle would fracture, brakes would burn out; he contrasted the present, with four-wheel brakes, development of steels and alloys, making it possible to stand up under the hardest service, with none of the former troubles.
 MT. Warner had a chance to an- swes criticisms that had been made about Studebaker making it's endur- anee tests and record runs, by ex- plaining that a wonderful car, a safe cur. cannot be expected to issue from the drawing board and swivel chair method exclusively.
 An Epitaph
 Although the automobile in itself Is built for safety and is safe, yet 1t becomes a dangerous weapon when controlled by an incompetent and un- safe driver" said Mir. Warner in con clusion. "The causes of Incompetent cy are too well known to need rehears- ing. The discretionless driver, very common tyne of incompetent. should remember the well-worn epitaph on a New England tombstone:
 "fHere lies the body of Hiram Gray Who died maintaining his right of
 way,
 Hi was right, dead right, as he sped
 along,
 But he's just as dead as though he'd
 been wrong.
 "If Hiram Gray had used discre- tion. instead of driving blindly by rule; if he had expected the other fel- low to do the wrong thing; if he had observed the 'clear-course ahead for mula. he would still be dead right, but rot dead and right"

STATE TO SURF ACE
ARLINGTON ROADS
Garrison Highway and Me-
mortal Drive Work to
Be Done at Once.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

CLARENDON, va, october 10
Coming as complete surprise to the
hundreds Of residents who will be af-
fected, the Virginia State Highway
Commission, through r. I. Mount, resi-
dent State engineer, announced today
that materials are being assembled for
the permanent hard surfacing of Gar
rison road from Clarendon to Ballston
and Memorial drive as far as it is owned
by the State.
This work is to complete the hard
Surfacing of all of the State highways
in this section of the county and will
be done in connection with the COM
pletion of Glebe road from the Lee
Highway to Columbia Pike.
While it had been expected that the
state would complete the Glebe road
project this year, it was not known
that the other work would be done.
States Share Of Work.
The States share of Garrison road
and Memorial drive constitutes a dis
lance of 2.3 miles, leaving a section
of la miles to the corporate limits of
Falls Church four-tenths of mile from
that point to the intersection of Me-
mortal drive with the Lee Highway.
Working In conjunction with the
State, the county will complete the
hard surfacing of Memorial drive to
the corporate limits of Falls Church,
it was stated today by County Directing
Engineer G. L. Kinnier, who also said
that he Is making efforts to persuade
the town Of Falls Church to complete
the paving project the remaining dis
lance.
This section of road is what is COM
monty known in the county as the
state to the bridge" route. The paw
ing of Garrison road will be IA feet in
width and that of the Memorial drive
10 feet; Upon the completion OF this
work there will be a direct modern
highway extending from Clarendon to
Falls Church.
Waiting for Fills to Settle.
The State, which decided this year
to construct Glebe road, has been wait
ing for the fills to settle before COM
plotting the project. 1t was decided
that, since materials had to be assem-
bled for the work, the street to the
bridge work would also be done, COM
pleting the hard surfacing of all the
State-owned roads in this section. The
Lee Highway, which is also State
road, has Just been reopered to traffic
after having been widened from Cherry
dale to. a point beyond Halls Hill.
Not to be outdone, the county Wild
ened Mount Vernon avenue this sum
mer and is now in the process of Wild
ening and reSurfacing Wilson Boule-
ward. While there has been some APP
prehension by a number of residents
regarding the progress of the work on
the wilson Boulevard, it was stated to-
day by Kinnier that the work will be
finished and the road reopened to traffic
by November Is, the date set by the
county when the contract was awarded.

Of fundamental principles In business
and professional life as expressed in
the Kiwanis statement of business
standards; promotion of spirit of
understanding between the farmer and
the city man and to provide vocational
guidance and placement Of young men
and women through cooperation were
outlined by the speaker as the organi-
cations program for 1929-30.
I'VE must always keep In mind that
no Kiwanian ever gets too old or so
we'll informed that he knows all about
KiwaniS. To the Kiwanian who reflects
upon our history and to the Kiwanian
who has vision, there is constantly
unfolding new ideas and new opportuni-
ties for the development of Kiwanis,"
he said.
eve should remember that clubs
which are going to make impressions
upon their communities must study the
civic and social phenomena. Clubs
should shape their program In the
light Of those needs and should make
them vital factors in community prog
ress and civic betterment.
Must Appreciate Responsibility.
zone Of the greatest needs Of our
organization is a deeper appreciation
of this responsibility on the part of the
individual Kiwanian. We ought, as
service clubs, always look ourselves in
the face. The greatest indictment
against the service clubs today is the
failure on the part of the individual
member in a greater or less degree to
appreciate his own responsibility.
1--WE do not have to seek opportuni-
ties away from our home town. Right
in our own back yards there are tasks
waiting for us. We do need to have
our eyes opened to the things which
are right close to us and to have re-
ceptive hearts and willing hands to do
that task" the speaker concluded.
