.PENROSE GREAT AID
IN RURAL ENGLAND
American Gives $1,000 and
Pledges $4,000 for Beauti-
flying Country Highways.

WILTON, England LAP.-An Amer
ican resident of this Somersetshire town
is one of the most active supporters OF
the movement to preserve the beauty of
rural England.
He is Boies Penrosc of PENNSYLVANIA
who recently gave $4,000 to the cause
pledged $50,000 more on the condition
that it be matched with contributions
from other sources. and then went to
Spain to avoid publicity.
When he returns he will undertake
at his own expense, complete survey
of Somerset in line with the aims of
the Council for the Preservation of Ru-
raj England, which was organized about
two years ago to fight the encroach
ments of "modernity" upon the quaint
and ancient beauty Of England's coun-
trySide.
Classed as Mysterious Person.
To his colleagues in the movement
PenroSe is something of a mystery. They
know only that he is a rather young
American who resents the Disagreement
of rural districts in his own country and
still more the spread of highway bill
boards and unSightly- service stations to
England's roads. and that his checks
drawn on Pennsylvania banks, are a.
ways good.
En2ilSn supporters OF the cause IN
clude the Earl of Crawford and Balcar-
res the Earl of Mayo, Lady TrevelyGn,
and members of the councils many con-
stituent and affiliated bodies
The councils aim, its officials point
out. is not to block new construction,
modern improvement and the building
of electric transmission lines merely
because they are what they are, but to
insure that such developments shall
harmonic with what is best in the
neighbrohood and "infiict the minimum
of Disagreement"
Automobile service stations as they
have been built in England lately are
the articular bane of the friends of
rural beauty. Often atrociously ugly
in themselves, these stations, so impor-
tant to the motorist, frequently become
centers of even uglier bill boards and
nondescript signs advertising the rival
brands of what here Is called petrol
Promiscuous tree-cutting is another
thing the council hopes to abolish.
Trees of great beauty, many of them
with interesting historical associations,
have been cleared away wholesale to
make room for new roads or buildings.
Persuasion. rather than compulsion,
is relied upon for results by the coun-
Gil, which has four Photographic eXhi-
bitions OF awful examples" touring
the country to awaken public interest
and stimulate willingness to cooper
ate among local authorities
New legislation is not sought except
where existing statutes offer no foot
hold for operations.

MARYLAND TO OPEN
ROUTES.
1850 Miles of Main High
ways to Be Made "Right-of-
Way" Roads by Program.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, June s.-Twelve hun
dred and nifty miles of main highways
of the state have been designated as
boulevards, on which motorists will
have the right of way at all times, by
the State Roads Commission, and will
be put into effect next Saturday.
These roads, radiating from Baltimore
City to every corner of the State, will
greatly facilitate movement of State
road traffic and reduce the number Of
accidents, members of the commission
say.
Poles Put at Intersections.
Poles are being installed at each in
tersection of boulevard road to warn
motorists. Altogether, about $3.50 such
signs will be erected. Over 500 of them
will be placed at crossings where two
boulevard roads meet. At these corners
luminous signs will be placed so the
more important highway will become
the boulevard and motorists on the
other road must come to fun stop be-
fore crossing.
At all other points the boulevard traf-
fic will have complete right-of-way. and
ward road must come to fun stop be-
fore doing so.
All the chief arteries of the State will
become boulevard roads. This includes
the Washington Boulevard, Philadelphia
road, Annapolis road. York road. Belalr
road, Reisterstown road and Frederick
road. The Grain Highway and the
Defense Highway will be right-of-way
roads. and on the Eastern Shore it will
be possible to go from Elkton to Ocean
City without giving up the right of way.
Western Maryland Routes.
For Western Maryland travel it will
be possible to keep on a straight boule-
ward highway from Ellicott City to
Frederick, to Hagerstown, to Cumber-
land and then to Keyser or Oakland.
Legal authority for these boulevard
roads was granted by the last Legisla-
ture. which gave the police commits
sioner of Baltimore power to open
boulevard streets in the city, and the
roads commission the same power IN
the counties. It provided that these
streets must be properly designated by
signs.

AUTO INDUSTRY
HAS PROGRESSED
None Envisioned Motor Would
Replace Horse and Com
pete With Railroads.

DETROIT Cc.-Opposing schools of
thought in the early days Of the auto
motive industry found liberal oppor :
tuntty for expression both orally and III
the product of their genius.
There we're many who, almost with
the birth of the automobile as dis
tinguished from the "horseless car
riase." claimed that the ultimate in
propelled vehicles had been reach
ed.
Fortunately there were as many or
more who. while perhaps not couras-
eous or daring enough to predict time
when years output of the industry
would aggregate 100000 vehicles, did
envision the time when the automo-
bile would replace the horse as means
of local transportation. and compete
with the railroads in intercity travel
Espoused Three Wheels.
One of the most prominent of the
pioneers of the industry ardently
esp0uSed the three wheeled vehicle; the
|tiller" steering control also had Its
electric vehicles. For the three wheeler
1t was argued that it steered more
easily: that it was much better in mud
and that contrary to popular SuppoSi-
ton it was less easily upset.
For the "tiller' steering control it
vas argued that after all the whee.
control was nothing more than a group
of "tillers" connected with circular
band. For steam automobiles it was
argued that tho dependability of steam
had been proved For the electrical
vehicle its proponents contended that
virtually every element of risk such as
might be encountered in the way of
fire hazard had been removed.
But the three-wheeled vehicle which
actually was the forerunner of today's
motor car, the "tiller" steering control,
the steamer and the electric passenger
vehicle all have served their parts in
the evolution of mechanical tranSpor-
tation and have passed on to figure
only in the history of the automotive
industry or to find niche somewhere
in the numerous museums that go in
for things historical.
Wheel Base Problem.
Long or short wheel base was the
subject of another early difference Of
opinion between leading figures in au-
tomotives. In favor of lengthening the
car it was contended that greater COM
fort and less danger of skidding were
achieved Against the longer wheel
base it was argued that narrow reads
made turning difficult and that passing
other vehicles might be dangerous II
not impossible.
Front-wheel driving and rear-wheel
steering, the application of power to
only one wheel, its transmission to two
wheels and finally its application to
four wheels furnished more differences
of opinion in the pioneer days of the
industry. There was also the sugges-
tion of steering by both front and rear
wheels, but seemingly 1t survived only
in the matter of fire trucks of great
length.

SMITHSONIAN GETS
HIGH SPEED CARS
Alexander Winton's Bullet
No. | and No. 2 Are Placed
in Institution.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The first racing car to roar along the
sands at Daytona Beach and startle the
world with its amazing speed has ',und
a home in the Smithsonian Institution
here
With it is its successor, a forerunner
of the eight-in-line car.
The cars, the Bullet No. l and the
Bullet No. are the gifts of the Win
ton Motor Co. and have been placed in
the museum beside other automobiles
of ancient make.
Scventy-twO Miles an Hour.
It was the Bullet No. l that Alexan-
der Winton, its builder, first raced along
Daytona Beach in 1901 to make record
of mile in 81 sect II. . 1t was far
cry from the 23l miles an hour made
at Daytona Beach by Maj. H. o. D.
Segrave of England, but the 72 miles
an hour in that day OF the infancy OF
the motor car was a noteworthy mark.
The engine of the Bullet No. l is
massive thing compared with four CYL
inder engines of today. 1t has 6-inch
bore and a finch stroke.
Oiiing System Elaborate.
An elaborate oiling system is fea-
ture and crude in the extreme beside
systems used today. Separate copper
tubes. each controlled by a screw valve,
run 10 each bearing from the oil pump,
situated at the front of the motor.
The cumbersome radiator hangs be-
tween and below the springs, with
barely 6 inches of clearance from the
ground The entire car is low, with the
front and rear slanting downward. as in
Mai Segraves racer, but the driver sat
above. exposed to the blasts. The car
is believed to have been the first
equipped with both internal and ex-
ternal brakes on the same drum.
Fastest Car in the World"
In 1902-03 Alexander Winton built the
Bullet No. 2. the fastest car in the
world" at that time. Barney Oldheld
and Earl Riser drove it on the sands OF
Cape May Beach, N. j., in 1905, attain
ing a speed of nearly 106 miles an hour
for 1-mile stretch. 1t was run in 80
seconds.
The Bullet No 2 is believed to have
been the first eight-in-line car. In
reality the motor Is two four-cylinder
engines couple together. 1t takes up
half the length of the car. The engine
is hung beneath the frame and the CYL
inders lie horizontally.
That engine. too. is enormous In COM
parison with the modern eight-cylinder
automobile engine. Its bore is 5l4
inches and the stroke inches.

INCREASE REPORTED
IN SCHOOL BUS USE
100000 More Children Carried
in 1928 Than in 1927, Sur
reu CboUS

in 1928 Than in 1927, Sur
vey Shows.
Increased use of school busses by city
and rural schools of America is re-
flected by the fact that 360,000000
children were carried by school busses
in 1928, a gain of 5lo00,0o0 over the
previous year.
Another indication of the growth of
the school bus industry is shown by
figures indicating that on January /.
this year, there was total Of 1880
schools in the United States operating
40,875 busses, compared to $50 schools
operating 36,960 busses on the same
date the year before.
School officials in many cities are
assuring the safety of children by
supervised bus routes that protect pu-
pills from traffic and other dangers to
and from school. The increasing num-
Der of rural school consultations has
made dependable feet of busses nee
essary to serve children often living in
several townships. In this way country
children are receiving the educational
advantages enjoyed by those in city
schools.

Smoking May Cause Blindness

Quinine is another drug that can
produce blindness, in case too large
a dose is taken. Usually ringing
in the ears, partial deafness, full
ness and aching of the head may
precede the temporary loss of vision.
OF course, the ordinary dose of qui-
nine will not produce these symp-
toms, but in some cases people have
misunderstood the amount they
we're to take and have taken SO
much that blindness followed,
Arsenic, lead and various prep
arations of these two elements may
also produce disturbances Of vision
and blindness if taken in over
doses or if taken in small doses over
long periods of time
These facts should be sufficient
to indicate to everyone the dan
ger Of taking remedies of which
the composition is not known, or
Of drinking bootleg" or other
liquors Of unknown parentage. The
moments pleasure can hardly suf-
flee to repay for the terrible loss
represented by partial or total
blindness.
