Nevada Rabbits
Help Bread Line

ELKO, New, Feb. 27 (U.PO-Ne-
vadS.s jackrabbits, SO numerous
that they eat thousands of pounds
of hay each night in this district,
are helping the unemployment pro-
blen in San Francisco Bay region
and other parts of California.
Nevada has tried for many years
to reduce the numbers of these ami
mails, but the cost of t1seir destruc-
ton was immense. They are the
frequent cause of automobile acci-
dents and death because Of their
habit of jumping through the wind
shields of moving automobiles.
They destroy crops by the carload.
Their only virtue thus far has
been to provide an evening meal
for some lonely prospector on the
desert hunched over his cook fire,
OF as targets fer small boys with
new rifles.
At last a use has been found for
them. Local men are paid four
cents for each rabbit. They arc
shipped to firm in San Francisco
where they are skinned and the
meat is prepared for the bread lines.
The skins furnish the company
with its profit and the meat is
given free to kitchens where it is
prepared as food.

WHITE OIL. PROPORTIONS
CHANGE DUE TO AUT0ISTS
Use of Petroleum Products Elk
planned by American Sur
vey Bureau.

Motorists, who consumed more than
1854, 00o, 900 gallons Of gasoline in
this country last year-an increase Of
per cent over i929-are the direct
cause of q drastic change in the pro-
portion of white oils being produced
from petroleum, says q bulletin OF
the American Survey Bureau.
ITO meet the demand created by the
automobile, the petroleum industry
has changed its operations to a gas
cline basis from the kerosene produc-
ton 1t was founded to provide" the
bulletin states. I'm 1899, when motor
cars first came into use in the United
States, more than 81 per cent of the
crude oil run to stills was refined into
kerosene and only Is per cent into
gasoline Today the gasoline yield from
petroleum Is nearly a. per cent, while
that Of kerosene has decreased to
per cent This increase In the yield
of the more volatile and essential white
oil. which was effected through the
Inauguration Of new refining methods
and processes, has been q big factor
in the conservation Of petroleum, as
1t now takes only one-third as much
crude oil as formerly was necessary to
produce the required supply of gasoline
for motor car and airplane use"

SAFETY EDUCATION

A. A. A. Boy Patrols viii Be
Extended to Number of
Cities.

The school year 1872 will be an
outstanding period In the continuing
drive to promote safety through educa-
ton In the schools of the country.
This statement was made by the
District OF Columbia division OF the
American Automobile Association, on
the basis Of plans made by the A. A. A.
for safety activities in the school year
Immediately ahead.
The high light of this program" 1t
was stated, will be the extension Of
A. A. A. school boy patrols to a number
of cities and towns which have not had
this safety work in the past. In the
1930-3l school year there were approx
imately 100000 patrolmen enrolled in
10000 patrol units in 1000 cities and
towns.
In addition. A. A. A. motor clubs
distributed approximately 800 900 safety
posters and rs many safety lessons.
This activity viii also be extended dur
ing the school year ahead to include
rural schools, and lessons are being pre-
pared which are adapted to the rural
class room"
Commenting on this national pro-
gram. the A. A. A. declared that II
offers the answer to why accidents in
volving school children are steadily de-
creasing throughout the Nation, while
those involving adults are increasing.
The statement continued:
School and civic authorities in all
parts Of the country are loud in their
praise Of the safety work in the schools
and police officers are being assigned to
work with those in charge Of the
patrols.
This cooperative work Of the police
and youngsters, through which the lat
ter learn q greater respect for author
ity. in itself justifies this safety ac-
tivfty."

MOTORISTS FAIL TO TAKE
PROPER CARE OF BRAKES
Local Dealer Advises Owners to
Have Periodic Checking
and Adjustment.

Many motorists are not getting the
benefit Of improved braking systems
simply because they fail to take their
cars to their respective maintenance
departments for periodic checking and
adjustment.
This point is made by oscar Coolican,
local automobile distributor, who says
that an altogether too large proportion
Of motorists thus are suffering as q
result Of their own carelessness.
1T Is not to be questioned that motor
car manufacturers have equipped the
latest cars with vastly improved brak-
ing systems" says Mr.. Coolican. 1T is
dtfncult, indeed, to compare them with
the systems Of Just q few years ago, so
much changed for the better are the
new ones,
Nevertheless. it is amazing how many
motorists are actually failing to get the
benefit Of that improvement, due to
plain. everyday negligence. For ex-
ample, the new brake systems should
operate with the greatest ease, taking
but the highest pressure on the foot
pedal to bring the car TO q quick, deci-
sive halt.
yet many are not operating easily,
due to lack of proper fabrication and
maladjustment. The latter also nat
urally and inevitably takes its toll in de-
creased general efnciency Of the brakes

SPEED LIMIT INCREASE
IN CITY SEEN BY DEALER
Wide Thoroughfares Make Higher
Rate Possible in Near Future,
Says Coo1ican.

Must the District of Columbia's speed
limits always remain the lowest among
the 40 political entities that comprise
the United states7
Despite the fact that the District is
q completely built-up or metropolitan
area. oscar Coolican local automobile
distributor, does not believe the Ques-
ton can be answered in the affirmative.
With the gensral trend in city speed
limits constantly upward, he believes
that improvements IN cars and in
methods OF trafflc control will see speeds
on certain thoroughfares legally in
creased In the National Capital.
''Washington's old speed limits of 10
miles an hour In the congested area
and % miles In sparsely built sections
have now become "a and 80 mile-an-
hour limits, respectively" he says.
There Is growing sentiment in many
quarters that Washington's wide
thoroughfares make even higher speeds
possible with safety. AS soon as all
drivers learn 10 use the full capacity
Of those streets, one OF the strongest
barriers TO higher rates Of speed will
be eliminated.
When that lesson Is learned one
aspect Of 1t will be the elimination Of
weaving, OF changing from one lane TO
another. In cities that have higher
speed limits that lesson has been
learned"
