AUTO CRASHES
TOLL REDUCED
BY GOOD TIRES
Prevention of SideSWay and
Skidding Necessary at
High Speed.

1t may have been that a few
years ago motorist was justified
in using almost any tire. This was
time when cars on the road were
comparatively few, and when a
speed of thirty miles an hour was
considered excessive. Then it did
not matter much if a tire gave
way, and there was comparatively
little danger.
Now, however, with heavier cars
on the road so close together that
deviation from the line is fraught
with danger, speeds far in excess
of what then was deemed possible,
the giving way Of tire may be a
serious matter, as is evidenced by
the too-frequent stories Of accidents
from THE cause.
Hence, motorist should know
what tire is the safest for him to
drive as we'll as what tire adds the
most to the appearance of the car.
Safety in a tire is attained by
the arrangement and the quality of
the cord used. It must reduce in
ternal friction to the minimum and
give the greatest carcass strength.
Tread Is Thicker
Here engineering facilities and
reputation must be guide, accord
ing to Charles H. Franck, SAB East
Washington street, distributor for
the Fisk tire and operator of one
of the best-known tire service sta
tons in Marion county.
Fisk tires give one the most as
.surance against accident, for several
reasons" said Franck. They have
more tread rubber bearing on the
road than others, and the ribs of
the tread prevent lateral or side
wise skids, while the other design
members prevent lengthwise skid
ding.
THE Fisk all-cord process reduces
the danger of blowout to the mini
mum. These are demonstrable facts,
which we are always glad to show to
motorists"
Protects Machinery
ITO them is due the increase in
Fisk sales. We have many custo-
mers who on buying new car drive
to our place to have the tires
changed to Fisks, our trade-in prop
osition being especially attractive"
The Charles H. Franc Company
distributes these tires to more than
twenty-five dealers in the Indian
apolis territory, and maintains a
complete service station at the East
Washington address, where for nine
teen years it has been known as a
competent tire repair concern.
Business is under the direction of
Mr.. Franck and his son Bill" who
has grown up in tire atmosphere.
Much of the business of the
Franck establishment is in the sup
ply of Fisk tires to truck owners. 1t
is declared that the Fisk, owing to
its cord construction, gives a
resiliency that offers maximum pro-
lection to the vital working parts of
a truck.

LONDON, April 1.-THE trial Of
the Rev. Harold F. Davidson, rector
OF Stiffkey, Norwich, whose rescue
work among young girls led to
charges Of immoral conduct, proved
as big an attraction today as any
sporting event in the London area.
Although the Westminster church
house could accommodate only a
small part of crowd such as might
assemble at Wembley stadium, long
queues formed outside the church.

was resumed. The trial was in its
fifth day.
A young man described as a
chauffeur, whose name and address
we're not made public, testified first
and said he lived with Rose Ellis,
30, one of the women involved in
The charges against the rector in
London and on a trip to Paris.
Threatened to End Life
The witness said the rector
threatened to commit suicide when
he learned that Rose had given a
thirteen-page statement to private
detectives hired by the Bishop Of
Norwich. The bishop brought
charges against DR.. Davidson. The
rector eventually persuaded Rose to
retract the statement, the witness
said.
The chauffeur said the rector
often visited Rose.
Indications that racketeers had
attempted to shake down" several
persons in connection with the rec
tors trial we're an added drawing
card. Rival attorneys FLASHED often
on charges Of attempting to inter
view witnesses before they testified.
An official Of a restaurant which
DR.. Davidson visited frequently said

tor, said that mother had been
approached by a woman who posed
as a private detective in the en-

court.
The woman Is alleged to have
said that the mothers daughter was
included in list of women who had
complained of the rector's conduct.
The alleged woman detective was
disclosed as fake, Levy said.
It was indicated that racketeers
had attempted to muscle in" ,on
the case and obtain money from
families by saying they would keep
young girls out of the case for a
certain fee.

Exercises involving the employment
Of railway artillery in the defense Of
the Atlantic seaboard were conducted
satisfactorily last May. Also two IA
inch guns were moved from the Pacific
to the Atlantic end Of the Panama
Canal, placed in position, and target

ing the flexibility and efficiency Of this
type of coast defense, which the Army
now Is seeking to strengthen.
With respect to equipment for the
Army's mobile anti-aircraft regiments,
which generally come within the limi-
tation fixed in the Geneva proposals
respecting land armaments, Gen. Gulick
reports satisfactory progress is being
made. Procurement of equipment for
anti-aircraft instruction at the six har-
Dor defense training centers, however,
was characterized as unsatisfactory.
With the Army lacking definite policy
with reference to war reserve of anti
aircraft material, he advocated min
imum war reserve" of new equipment
for all National Guard anti-aircraft
regiments. A new 3-inch aircraft
gun with a single axle mount is now
being developed, the report revealed,
weighing about one-half of the present
3-inch gun. which will have a greater
maneuverability.

HOOVER OPPOSES
BIG MOBILE GUNS
President at Odds With War
Department, Gu|ick's
Report Reveals.

Conflicting views between President
Hoover and the War Department on the
use of mobile guns for coast defense
purposes were revealed today In the
annual report of Maj. Gen. John w
Gulick, Chief Of Coast Artillery.
President Hoover proposed at Geneva
to abolish "all large mobile guns" In
order to reduce the offensive character
of land forces. Gen. Gulick goes to the
other extreme in advocating that max
imum use" be made Of movable arma-
ment Of all types"
The Harbor Defense Board, 1t was
revealed in Gen. Gulick's report, has
prepared revised projects for number
of harbor defenses embraced in the
several coastal areas. He declares he
believes the whole matter will be
cleared up and necessary recommends
tions made to the War Department by
January l, 1888" These revised prof.
ects, the Chief of Coast Artillery
stresses, provide not only for the maxi
mum use Of all types of movable arma-
ments but also for the reduction OF
fixed armaments" to the minimum.
Hits at Railway Guns.
President Hoover's proposal for the
abolition of all large mobile guns, along
with tanks and chemical warfare, it was
said at the War Department. hits di
rectly at the standard 12-inch railway
guns used for harbor defenses In addi-
ton to these, the Army has few of the
IA and 16 inch guns, which in any
emergency can easily be brought into
action on railroad spurs along the coast.
While the presentation at Geneva
merely referred to all large mobile
guns" without strict definition, the
War Department takes this to mean all
above inches were included under the
proposed ban by nations. Adoption OF
such proposal, of course. would mean
the scrapping Of practically all this
country's railway guns, around which
Gen. Gulick now recommends building
up the harbor defenses.

report. provide for the elimination of
all guns and accessories now installed

MARINE CORPS
MAY HAVE RIFLE
RANGE IN VALLEY

That the winter months will
bring a new and unusual activity
to Imperial county was a possibil-
ity today when Sheriff George L..
Campbell sent to the marine base
at San Diego photographs of a
site for a proposed rifle and anti
aircraft gun range near Yuha Well
and Mt. Signal.
Marine Captain Curtis Wade LIE
Gette, who visited El Centro in the
interests of the proposed range
here, placed arrangements and Sc
lection of a proposed site in the
hands of Sheriff Campbell.
The sheriff selected a tentative
site at Yuha Wells, east of Coyote
Wells, with Mt. Signal for back
stop. Photographs were mailed to
San Diego today for the approval
of the marine officers. Since the
proposed range is near the road,
the problem of transportation will
be an easy one.
Should this or another site be Sc
lected, range tests probably will be-
gin in October, Sheriff Campbell
said today, bringing marine detach-
ments to the valley.
Imperial Valley was selected as
the site of the proposed range be-
cause of the clear visibility and de-
ceptive distances seldom found on
the coast, and so that gunnerS and
users of the heavy marine rifles
may become accustomed to the at
mospheric conditions here.

JOHNSON GIVES
HIGH PRAISE TO

Copyright. 1882, BY United Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. %. -
U.Pl-Governor Franklin d. Roose-
velt's attitude towards progressives
and progressivism was praised here
today by United States Senator
Hiram Johnson, leader of Califor-
mia Republican progressive element
and running mate of Theodore
Roosevelt in the Bull Moose rebel
lion of 1912.
The attitude of Mr.. Roosevelt
is in shap contrast to that Mr.
Hoover has maintained towards
progreSSivism," johnson said, COM
menting on the Democratic presi-
Dental nominees speech at Sacra-
mento yesterday in which he in
vited Republican progresSives to
align with the Democratic presi-
Dental campaign.
II personally immensely appre-
ciate what he said, and I'm sure
it is equally appreciated by other
progressive Republicans of this
state. Governor Roosevelt was very
gracious and generous"
johnson declined to discuss the
possibility that he would throw his
support to Roosevelt or that he
would actively campaign against
President Hoover.
Il am a Progressive" he said
simply. For % years I've been
making the progressive fight here.
For the remainder of my years I'll
continue to make that fight
