LAW FOR DRIVING
PERMITS FAVORED
Association Survey Shows
Growing Demand for Ma
tion-Wide EnaGtments.

A growing sentiment for the enact
ment in every State of a law requiring
an operators permit for all motorists
is shown by the results of a Nation
wide survey just completed by the
American Motorists Association.
In response to a QUESTIONABLE sent
to all State highway commissions. en-
bodying the query, do you favor an
operators permit law?" the answers
were almost without exception in the
affirmative.
Of the 48 States and the District of
Columbia 90 States require no operators
permit. OF these 26 States the highway
commissioners of motor vehicles in all
but 4 expressed belief that permits
were essential toward highway motor
vehicle traffic safety In 8 States
legislation is now pending toward the
enactment of motor permit laws.
The only way in which the fitness or
unfitnesS of person to operate motor
vehicle can be established is by an
examination of that person. This

will be done away with in the next
three or four weeks. The detour dips
into Delaware and runs into Kennett
Square. A distance Of nearly 100 miles
now has been covered from Washing
ton.
Just short distance beyond Kennett
square the motoriSt makes a left turn.
the route now being described as
Route So. It is here that the less
frequented thoroughfare begins. 1t is
here, also, that more rural scenes are
depicted. The roadway is very good,
and on the motorist drives until he
reaches West Chester. His first turn
is left upon coming into the city. Then
right turn is made on East Gay street.
Then on to Paoli, following the signs
of Route 122. The town is named
after an Italian general.
Route 122 leads without much turn
ing into NorriStown, a city of magnifi-
cent homes, and into MontgomeryVille
and Doylestown. Near Norristown
short run will take the tourist into
Valley Forge. At Doylestown the total
trip mileage approximates ITO miles.
The line of travel for the past so miles
has been very straight with the way
clearly marked.
Highway Crosses Delaware.
From Doylestown the highway crosses
the Delaware River at Good Hope, and
for about 10 miles the road goes into
detour that is not much to brag about,
and less than that In wet weather. 1t
can be called safe, however, and the
main roadway is due to be opened in
the near future.
After this it is smooth sailing into
Lambertville, Pennington and White
~
Now more than 200 miles have been
covered, and New York does not seem
far ahead. A good and clearly marked
highway, called Route 80, and a host
of others brings one through Sonerville,
Bound Brook, Plainield into Elizabeth,
where the highway joins the main route
from Philadelphia.
The above named towns are attrac-
tive and traffic is not congested. Last
week 1T was due to a bad storm, but
such things are not on weekly Sched-.
ules. Route % takes one into Jersey
City without going to Newark. Then
before one knows it, he is at the APP
proach of the Holland Tunnel, which
dives its tiled way under the Hudson
River The charge is so cents per car.
A record number of vehicles passed
through the tunnel last month, which
number is likely to be increased this
month.
The tunnel is worth its travel It's
engineering task is truly one of the
wonders of the world. The smooth flow
of traffic through it cannot be sur
passed. It's ventilation cannot be
equaled. 1t is better than on the open
road. With lights turned out, one
speeds along its dry roadway at 80 or
40 miles an hour.
Leaving the tunnel In short space
of time. one Is at the lower end of the
great city. Turning left into 7th Avenue,
the motorist finds himself on the way
uptown and the traveller of 250-odd
miles.
He has left the traffic land of Har-
land for the traffic land of Whalen.

NOTED PHOTOGRAPHER
ENGAGED BY AUTO GROUP
franklin LaVarre to Make Collec-
ton Of Scenic and Outdoor
Pictures.

Franklin La Varre, who was for five
years with Burton Holmes, noted travel
lecturer and Is one of the best known,
Photographic artists of the world, has
been engaged by the American Automo-
bile Association to prepare one of the
finest collections of outdoor and scenic
pictures in the country.
The national motoring body said that
MIR. La Varre is now preparing for
tranScontinental trip by automobile and
traversed.
THE primary purpose of this costly
collection of pictures" says the A. A. A.,
will be to stimulate motoring by their
use in the millions of copies of touring
literature issued annually. At the same
time, it will provide pictures from every
area, labeled as the best by one espe-
cially trained in this work"

AXLE TILT DANGEROUS.

Skinny and hard steering are usual
ly caused by nothing more than wrong
tilt of the front axle" says viii DAM
mann, memhA~ of the American Society
of Automotive Engineers who has made
a special study Of wheel and axle align
ment.
Most motorists dc not realize the
terrible price they pay because of SHIN
my, or they would Immediately go TO a
repair shop and have it corrected. The
tires that go to the scrap heap every
year because of pitting, scuffing, cup
ping and gouging, and the accidents on
the highway day after day caused by
shimmy and hard steering, amount to
a staggering total.
"Were the cost to motorists pocket
books the only consideration, the stu
alton would be serious enough-but
with life and limb endangered by every
shimmying car on the road, the prob
lem takes on the aspect of serious ma
tional menace"

RADIO FOR AUTOS
IS HELD FEASIBLE
Engineers Have Perfected
Sets to Degree Warranting
General Use in Cars.
BY THOMAS J. KEEFE,
General Manager, American Motorists
Association,

Motoring over smooth stretches Of
highway % the tune of your favorite
taEz bal /. is a dream which will be
realized 1thin the next 10 months.
A few, bonths ago q prediction that
srnroancbi y of the future will be
equipped With radio receiving sets
would haN>i been considered extrava-
CANT. At present. however, such is not
the case, for already one company has
announced that 1t Is ready to go into
the production of receiving sets spe-
cially constructed for automobile in
Stallation.
; Engineers have founs way to shield
the receiving set from che interference
of ignition systems in automobile and
airplane engines, and have also discov-
cred a method of overcoming noises
generated by the moving car or plane
through the use of filter. Not even
the beauty of the car will suffer through
the radio installation, for engineers
have found it possible to place the an
tenna in the roof of the car, with the
loud speaker concealed in the Frame
work of the body.
One Objection Anticipated.
There is one serious objection, how
ever The driver might become en-
crossed in some enhancing melody or
soothing lullaby and neglect his duties
at the wheel. It can hardly be expect
ed that the installation of radio sets in
automobiles will proceed unchallenged
by law for this reason.
Automotive engineers have been I'M
consciously paving the way for this
radio innovation through the construc-
ton of closed bodies which minimize
vibration and noise. In 1927 some
thing like 80 per cent of all automobiles
80 AZ
and last year the percentage rose to
about 80 per cent.
Now that technical difficulties to the
installation Of radio sets in automobiles
have been slrmounted, 1t only remains
for the public to manifest its interest
In the innovation. If the public de-
mands this type of service, there can be
no doubt but that 1t will receive 1t.
Home-AutO Communication Seen.
During recent congressional hearings
on the subject of radio legislation a
radio engineer was asked II it would
be technically possible to install radio
telephones in automobiles which would
enable the driver or passenger to COM
municate with central telephone sta
ton and obtain q direct connection
with his home or office. He declared
that this was entirely feasible. If this
were possible, q radio would offer to the
n1otorist another valuable service which
only a year ago was unforeseen.
The American Motorists Association
believes that because of the importance
and practical certainty Of automobile
radio sets the Federal Radio Commits
sion should exercise the greatest care
in parceling out the available radio wave
lengths. If telephone communication
by radio from moving automobiles be-
comes a reality, as seems almost GER
tain, and the motoring public demands
this service, which seems equally GER
tain, it might be found that the service
would have TO be denied because of the
,inavailability of frequencies for this
purpose.

Would Curb Speed Tests.

Considerable discussion in automo-
bile circles rea4rding the mile speed
tests at Datona Beach or on other fast
courses has led to the conclusion that
sooner or later strict regulations re-
Rarding drivers must be adopted.
Among the rules that have been dis
cussed is one which would not permit
. driver to pilot a car at more than
200 miles an hour unless he has had
considerable high-speed racing car ex-
perience and has finished in the A. A.
championship in fifth place or better.

FEERO RETURNS FROM TRIP UP
 WHITING RIVER
Deputy Marshal Back from Investigation Into Death
 of Tom Wilson

The body of Tom Wilson, veteran prospector who died on September 5, was buried on October l, beside the waters of the upper Whiting River near the camp where the end came, according to w E. Feero, Deputy United States Marshal, who headed a party going there to make an investigation. So far as conditions would allow a complete investigation was made, and it was apparent that death was the re- suit of natural causes as reported by Wilson's partner, Tom Donahue.
 The trip was strenuous one from the mouth of the Whiting north. The party, consisting of Deputy Feero, Ragnar Kronquist, Donahue and J. F. (Slim) Bupchanan left the mouth of the river in Buch- anan's river boat on September %. For 21 hours it battled the current and bars, making bare 20 miles in that time.
 The boat was then abandoned and the party proceeded upriver on foot. It took it 311a hours more to reach the place where Donahue had left Wilson's body. The cache had been broken into and the body was badly mutilated by birds and animals. Interment was made thereby.

TENDER FERN
 ARRIVES HERE
Elliott Is Making Inspection Captain Offers
 Aid to Pliers

The Lighthouse tender Fern, Capt. w. H. Barton, arrived in Juneau at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. c. N. Elliott, Assistant Superinten- dent of Lighthouses, whose head quarters are in Ketchikan, is aboard the Fern and is making a semi-annual inspection trip to all light and fog stations in Southca st Alaska which include Craig, Senti- nel Island, Eldred Rock, Point Re- treat, and Cape Spencer.
 While in Craig, Capt. Barton sent a message to Commander Sem yon Shestakov, of the plane Land of Soviets, offering to tow the dis abled craft from Waterfall to Craig but the Commander, after thank ing him for his proffered assistance, showed him through diagrams and sign language h a they would rather anchor the plane in Wat r. fall until the arrival of the new motor so that they could take-off from that place to Seattle. AL though the fliers speak Russian, German and French, none of them speak English and at the time when Capt. Barton sent his message to Commander Shestakov there was 0 interpreter present.
 It is understood that the reason the plane Land of Soviets made a forced landing was due to the fact that one motor became heated just after the fliers took-off from Sitka and that it finally froze.
 Capt. Barton was a recent visitor in Juneau when he acted as skipper of the Beryl E., which was charter ed by 26 delegates and members of the American Legion, who came here from Ketchikan to attend the Department Convention.
 The Fern, after taking on fuel and supplies, left Juneau for Lynn Canal early this morning.

At the meeting held last Saturday afternoon it was decided that the Woman's Club should subscribe 9 the General Federation News a magazine for all club women, and that this magazine should be placed on file in the Juneau Public Li- brary so that all club members and those interested could acouaint themselves with the activities of other branches of the General Fed eration.
 It was brought to the attentio l of the Club members that the ma tive women of Klawock, under the supervision Of Mrs. Fletcher, had organized and had elected Anna Peratovich, a college graduate, to be their president. The Klawock Club is now petitioning the Alaska Federation of Women's Clubs, to be admitted as a branch of that or ganization.
 Due to the steadily increasing membership and to the greater scope of the Woman's Club in re- gard in community improvements and activities, it was found neces- sary to revise the former constitu- tion. Mrs. Guyer and Mrs. Herr mann, who were appointed to serve on the Constitution Committee, are busily engaged in making the ne- cessary changes and revisions and hope to be able to present the new constitution to the members f the club for their approval, on next Tuesday evening.
 Mrs. Rose Davis, president of the Douglas Woman's Club, was 2 guest at the Saturday afternoon luncheon of the Juneau Womans Club. A standing invitation has been extended to the members of the Douglas Woman's Club to at tend these first Saturday of the month lunches.

Alsmeyer Takes Steps To
Kill Parasite On
1000 Acres
special to The Herald,


SAN BENITO, May 2.-Drastic
steps are being taken by farmers,
county agents and others TO check
the ravages Of the web or careless
weed worm. which has been found
III approximately 1000 acres OF cot
ton in Cameron county.
Announcement OF this was mace
today by County Agricultural Agent
Henry Alsmeyer.
The worm defoliates the cotton
stalks in a short time, and quick
action must be taken.
busting with calcium arsenate IS
suggested BY Alsmeyer as a means
or checking the worm. In dust1ng
the nozzle az the machine should
be placed Just above the top OF
the plants, in order that the dust
will strike the ground. and come
back up with some force. settling
on the under side as well as the
upner side Of the leaves. 1t is said.
The area infested includes 5000
acres north and west Of Harlingen.
and 1000 acres in the Rio Hondo
section.
The insect pest was identified by
Alsmeyer and s. w. Clark OF the
/ experiment station at WeSlaco, who
inspected the section infested.
