SLIPPING TIRES
GRIND RUBBER. !.

Automobile drivers are often
puzzled by the apparent variations
of their speedometers in measuring
the distances between two geograph.
icaI points. The mystery. in part,
is due to the fact that the wheels
of an automobile slip.
AS a rough average It may be
said, according to II. e. Ehlis, local
Fisk dealer that the wheel slippage
accounts for four miles in every
100: in other words, 1000 miles of
actual travel registers about 1,O4O
on the mileage dial of the speedonas
eters.
Slippage varies with the air pres
sure in the tires, with wet and
slippery roads, with bumps that set
the rear wheels to spinning. with
the number and degrees of curves
and grades, with car speeds, ana
with the expertness of different
drivers in stopping and starting
smoothly.
Slipping tires grind off rubber
says Mr.. Ehlis. While slipping
cannot be eliminated entirely. it
can be greatly reduced IL the tires
are kept at the correct air pres
sure"

May 90 will be the 9th anniyer-
sary Of the end of the United States
occupation of Cuba. and of the
first presidential klection to be held
in the new republic. Hence Cuba,
will celebrate these vital events by
commemorating the completion of
the 65-mile stretch of the highway
between Matanzas and Havana. .
701 Miles Long
The Carretera Central will be 701
miles in length, extending from the
City of Pinar del Rio in the great
western tobacco section to quaint
old Santiago which nestles in its
amphitheater of hills in the east
end of the island.
The original contract cost of the
road was estimated at SIS $50 900,
but with the branches that have
since been decided upon it will cost
in the neighborhood of $100, 900 900.
1t is being built in sections. and
will be completed in the latter part
of 1880. Two and one-half million
dollars Is being expended monthly
on construction. Eleven thousand
men are employed, bringing actiY-
ity to many Cuban communities.
The road is now over As per cent
completed, and it Is one of the
most modern of the worlds high
ways.
Road building in Cuba is not road
building in the United States. W.
c. Mcdonald, superintendent of
Warren Brothers Company, road
engineers of Boston who are con-
structing 500 miles of the highway,
says that one river along the line
of the road in Eastern Cuba has
been known to rise 80 feet in five
hours. The summer rainfalls often
are torrential and fills are allowed
to settle one year before finishing
the sub-grade and placing the con-
crete base course.
No Grade Crossings
This magnificent highway ha"
no grades exceeding five feet in one
hundred feet and no curves over
per cent, nor has it any grade
crossings in any of the 81 times 1t
interseCts a railroad track.
The people are using it as rapidly
as it is finished and even before
it is completed. The inhabitants
of a mountain town in eastern
Cuba have built trail nine miles
long to the Cuban Central Highway,
Mr.. Mcdonald says. Formerly they
were obliged to send mule pack
trains long distances over tortuous
trails to get their coffee to market.

Va. ARREST |

RICHMOND, Va, April 1o.-Four
Washingtonians, including a woman,
were arrested here yesterday. One,
who was charged with suspicion of
having stolen property in his posses
sion, said he was a diamond broker.
Two others are held for violation
of the prohibition law, and the
woman for vagrancy.
Ernest o. Hammersla, Of the
400 block of Blagden Ave. N. w.,
broker, was seized while attempting
to pawn a. diamond ring, police
said. Earlier in the day he had
pawned another ring for $3.50, po-
lice declare, and seven more dia-
monds were found on his person.
The others. John l.. Dade, sales
man, of the 1000 block of Shep-
herd st. n. E., and Francis A.
Crawford. real estate broker of the
1900 block of Varnum st. N. W.,
were charged with having liquor in
their possession. Police said they
found half gallon of alleged liquor
in their hotel room.
Kitty Johnson, the woman, was
found seated in Hammersla's car by
officers. She declared that she first
met the trio in Washington and
later ran into them again here
today while she was engaged in
soliciting subscriptions for a cos
tune ball to be given for the bene-
fit of the Home for Needy Con.
federate Women. She told police
that she was employed by Mrs.
Andrew Jackson Montague, wife of
the Richmond Representative in
Congress, promoter of the ball.

MORE DURANTS
ARE SHIPPED

DETROIT, April 10.-Shipments
Of cars from the Durant factories
In Lansing, Mich; Elizabeth, N. j.;
Toronto. Ontario. and Oakland, Calf,
during the first quarter of 1929,
according to preliminary figures
released by r. T. Hodgkins, gem
eral sales manager of Durant Mo-
tors, Incorporated, totaled 21,0T5
units.
This compares with 2O,976 units
during the corresponding period
last year. "That the combined out-
put of all Durant plants the first
quarter this year should be greater
than last years figure" says Mr..
Hodgkins, lis remarkable when con.
sideration Is given 10 the fact that
DUNG this period major manufac-
turing activities were transferred
from Elizabeth, N. j., to Lansing,
Mich, thereby necessarily causing a
complete cessation of operations tor
a considerable period.
shipments from Lansing and
Elizabeth totaled 5,S76 DUNG March
2.745 during February, and 1.549
during January this year, the
March gain being ia per cent over
February. and 279.S per cent over
January.
1.-THE Canadian factory reports an
output figure of 2,S75 cars and
trucks for March. This compares
with 1,71S for February, a gain of
67.8 per cent, and with 1904 for
January, gain of GIL per cent.
The Canadian total of 6,092 for the
first quarter of 1929 showed a gain
of 1850 units or 251.7 per cent over
the corresponding quarter last year,
when 1882 units were shipped.
This plant, which was originally
built for maximum annual out
put. Of 10000 cars and trucks, turned
out 1882 units during 1928, COM

land covered with fertile farms and
dotted with hundreds of thousands
of royal palms. Approaching Ma
tanzas from Havana the country
becomes more rugged and as Ma
tanzas bursts into view you behold
the city and beautiful Yumuri Val
ley.
Climate Exhilarates
But to my mind the finest Views
from the highway are not the purple
mountains, or the green fields of
sugar cane, or these fields as they
slightly yellow to maturity. Nor
are they the vistas of palm-dotted
Savannahs and gently undulating
farms. l thought the views of
tropical ravines, shaded by lofty
trees, lush with exotic growths,
open-air conservatOries, in fact, were
the most enhancing scenes along
the route. Here, and there the
great Carretara Central. rounding
across, or up, valley like a huge
railroad embankment, its sides
evenly contoured, massive and
symmetrical in appearance, discloses
such a view.
Sometimes the road comes just
even with the spreading feather
tops of the palms; sometimes 1t is
just below their submits. some
times above them. When the level
of the highway Is below their tops
you find the jungle has almost ex-
cluded the over-briliant tropical sun.
You look into cool and flowery
spot fringing a mountain stream
which passes under the highway by
a great concrete conduit. Climbing
vines, flowers, humming birds. and
butterflies suggest you are peeping
into an AmaZonian paradise.

TFHERE is never any assur-
ance of what turn tickle
fashion will take, and this
year is one of surprises. In a
season Of diaphanous fabrics, in
which designers have been using
the ARREST and coolest available
stuffs in making evening gowns
for their new clients, there has
suddenly developed a vogue for
heavier materials.
Satins and taffeta have re-en-
tered the field, and although they
have barely made their appear
ance, they have been so well re-
ceived by those whose patronage
counts that there is little doubt
Of their more general acceptance.
Women are to look cool in
them, however, no matter what
their temperatures may actually
reach. The satin Is appearing in
glistening white, which makes
the gown look as though it bore
a shimmering coating of ice.
Other tones used are oyster
white, pearl, blue, off-white and
dead white. The taffetas are
used in almost the same tones
with printed taffeta as %runner-up
in popularity. Some Of the most
attractive taffeta frocks are com-
bined with net, tulle, starched
chiffon or lace.
OF course, for those women
who are not content to wear
satin and tafFeta for dining and
dancing in hot weather, there are
delightful costumes, formal and
informal for evening. designed By
leading couturiers and adapted to
our climate and our taste. There
are the ever fashionable chiffons,
nets, tulle and light weight crepes.

still extremely simple--any

There Is No Real
Excuse for a
Muddy Skin

TITO expose a sallow skin to a
world that is interested only
in the beauties of a clear
complexion is deliberately to
place oneself at a disadvantage.
Two. and only two. excuses may
be offered for a muddy skin.
One is the lack of necessary
knowledge in correcting such a
condition and the other is lazi-
ness in giving the skin deserved
attention. Neither excuse places
the woman who offers it in a
very complimentary light.
Know your skin problems and
understand corrective measures
necessary to the attainment of a
clear skin, then go about corr
recting the undesired condition
until the skin sparkles with
cleanliness and health.
