SAFETY LECTURE
AT HIGH SCHOOL
WELL ATTENDED

{: 4 large and appreciative audience
I attended the public lecture given
,, by Sergeant f. l.. johnson of the
Los Angeles traffic squad on the
subject of Safety Practices" at the
Central Union high school auditor
ihm last night. This lecture was
sponsored by the accident proven
ton committees Of the Imperial Ice
and Development company and the
Southern Sierras Power company.
Sergeant johnson has given much
time to the study Of this vital prob.
lem and came to Ell Centre as an
authority, not to interfere with the
actions of local officers in law en-
forcement, bu. to assist them by
pointing out TO the people the many
causes of tragic accidents on the
highways of today and the common
means which should be used to pre-
vent them.
He spoke of an accident in which
he figured as the motive which led
him to study the problems of high
way safety and careful driving. He
first began writing safety stories
for the daily papers and then took
to the lecture platform.
The speaker stated that there are
so many laws governing traffic at
present that it is almost impossible
to observe them, but the motorist
can use caution while driving his
automobile and this alone would
serve to cut down the great num-
her Of deaths and injuries caused in
this country by automobiles. He
pleaded for the cooperation of the
motoring public with the traffic Of
ticials. They, he said, have duty
TO perform, that Of keeping the
highways as safe as possible and it
is only with the assistance of motor
ISIS that this can be done.
Courtesy Of the road, just the ap-
plication Of the Golden Rule, was
pointed out by Sergeant johnson as
an important factor in securing the
safety Of the highway.
The lecture was illustrated by
four reels Of picthres showing vivid
ly the many ways in which traffic
laws are violated and the disastrous
results generally attending such in.
fractions. As the pictures were
shown the speaker would explain
each in detail, calling special atten.
ton of his young listeners to the
risks they run due to carelessness
while playing in the streets; not
crossing streets at the intersections
and other like acts. He also point
ed out the dangers attending motor.
lists who speed on the roads; cut in
and out Of traffic, especially in
crowded sections of the highway;
and delivered a few scathing re.
marks on the subject Of drunken
drivers, the greatest menace ON the
highways today.
The lecture drove home the great
lesson of carefulness in a most strik.
ing manner. 1t was preceded by a
half hour of music by students of
the high school under the direction
of Miss Lucille Krause. Two vocal
trios, one composed of girls, the
other Of boys, rendered several Sc
lections which were appreciated by
the audience. The speaker was in.
trodueed by Judge /. Mayfield,
chairman Of the Imperial County
Highway Safety committee.

GEORGE ARLISS COMING IN NEW SCREEN VERSION
 OF GREEN GODDESS

"The Green Goddess" the first of a series Of productions which the n0ta- ble star. George Arliss, is making for Warner Bros, and showing tonight, and Friday at the Bradley Theatre was one of the most successful plays ever produced on the legitimate stage. Critics agreed that it was faultlessly constructed melodrama and it at traeted large and enthusiastic audi ences at every performance during it's long run.
 This melodrama of the Far East IS one of Mir. Arliss' best known stage vehicles. The illustrious actor ap- peared in it in the United States and England for several successive sea sons. during which time 1t drew cri- tical appreciation and broke box office records.
 Mir. Arliss is supported by popular cast, including Alice Joyce, H. B. Warner and Ralph Forbes.
 Nigel de Brulies, we'll known for his unusual character studies, also plays an important role in "The Green Goddess" As wild-eyed, fanatical temple priest. worshipping his strange idols and conducting strange religious rites.

The lines are hung up on q convenient lever and the horses will keep to the row with little guidance. The pros poets of making a tractor which will be selfguiding in corn rows are none too promising, but there has been great improvement in the steering mechanisms of tractors.

COURTS TAKE NOTE
OF AUTO HAZARDS
Constant Increase in FataIi-
ties Results in Rigid Rulings
to Control Motoring.

The constant increase of automobile
fatalities, reaching last year the enor-
nous total of $4,000, has resulted in a
corresponding increase of responsibility
which the courts are placing upon the
motoriSt, according to a survey made
by the legal department of the Amert-
can Motorists Association, citing recent
court decisions showing the trend OF
judicial thought.
Decisions, indicative of the attitude
that courts are taking toward the mo-
torists' responsibility, are being render

BRAKES OF MANY AUTOS
DECLARED DANGEROUS
Those on Street a Year or More
often Said to Have Valueless
Mechanism

Brakes on at least 10 per cent Of the
automobiles in Washington which have
been on the streets year or more are
so badly worn that they would be to-
tally valueless in an emergency, the
Washington Automotive Trade Associa-
ton declares in a statement just issued
The association declares further that
more than rs per cent of the automo-
bileS in the same mileage class have
brakes which in their present condition
are unsafe, although 1t is pointed out
that In most cases minor adjustments
are all that are necessary to correct this
fault.
These estimates, it is stated, are based
upon the conditions found in automo-
biles brought in to automobile dealers
in Washington to be traded. At least
10 per cent of those in the year-old
class are found to have their brake lin
ings almost if not completely worn away
Negligence alone Is held responsible.
