this country has its basis in the in
dlspensability Of the motor vehicle to
every one. The soundness of that
oasis has been emphatically demon
Strated in the fact that gasoline tax
revenues have increased each of the
past two years in spite of general eco
non1ic conditions. Some of this in
crease has been due. of course. to
higher gasoline tax rates. But the
greater number of gallons Of gasoline
consumed-more than $4,000 .000, 900
last year-leaves no doubt that the
average car travelled farther than ever
before. ..--.--
1T is not unnatural that a source
Of revenue which has remained con-
slant while others have been diminish
ing at an alarming rate should be at
tractive to legislators hard pressed by
mounting deficits. Yet there is a dam
ger in its very allurements--a double
danger, in fact"
This danger, as the head of the
American Road Builders Associat ton
sees 1t, is that 1t will invite the impo-
sition Of taxes which are confiscatory.
Out Of this will grow resentment and
an effort to circumvent the tax which
already is apparent in the vast growtn
Of gasoline bootlegging. So long as
taxes are kept within reason and the
revenue from them used to the direct
benefit Of the motorists who pay them,
this danger does not exist. The instant
these conditions are modified, it makes
its appearance.
Diversion of motor vehicle revenues
to defray general expenses of Gov
ernment has been source of irrita-
ton for years." Mr. Smith declares.
We hear 1t proposed today, however,
on larger scale than ever before.
"An instance of this is to be found
in the recent pronouncement OF one
State official that the most effective
means of quickly diSposing of an So
100000 deficit was by diverting the
sum from motor vehicle revenues run
ming about S17,00o,000 annually. It
would virtually stop new road con-
struction in the State, he admits, but
would permit maintenance Of highways
already in use.
Proposal IntolerabIe.
"The proposal is one that motorists
of the State must regard as intolerable.
1t has in it elements of an effect upon
road bond issues that is dificult to
with equanimity. Such
bonds have had a ready acceptance
because they are based
upon an assured revenue. They will
continue to have so long as the money
motorists pay in taxes goes to motor
ing purposes.
1T is to be hoped that we shall
have the wisdom to see this and the
restraint to make it an effective guild
ing policy"

In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

of it's headlights, storms or other
bad weather conditions not eX-
cepted, according to recent rul-
ing handed down by the Pennsyl-
vania Supreme Court.
In the case tried before the
courts the headlights of the car
were burning, the car was moving
between 18 and % miles per hour
according to testimony, and it
was on its right side of the road
when 1t crashed into a truck
parked on the highway without
lights. 1t was testified that the
driver of the car could see for so
feet ahead, that he did not rec
ognize the presence of the truck
until he was 10 or IL feet behind
it and that the collision occurred
when he attempted to turn out
to miss it.
Convicted of Negligence.
The operator of the car was
convicted of negligence through
his own testimony. BY stating
that he did not see the truck un-
til he was 10 or II feet behind 1t
and that he couldn't stop. he ad-
mitted that he didn't have con-
troll of the car. The truck had
been parked on the highway with
out lights for half hour and no
one was present to warn other
drivers of its presence.
The court ruled that drivers
must keep in mind that obstacles
may appear in their paths with
out warning and they must have
their cars under such control that
they can stop to avoid accidents.
The general rule is we'll stated in
20 Corpus Juris, 10: ut is negli-
gence for one to drive an automo-
bile so fast that he cannot stop it
within the distance that he can
see an obstruction or within the
radius Illuminated by its lights"
This negligence attributed to
the operator Of the pleasure car
is entirely separate from the neg
ligence of the operator Of the
truck. The operator of the truck,
also, was clearly guilty of negli-
gence in allowing the truck to be
parked in the position it was with
out lights.

YEAR OF BEAUTY

Style and beauty in 1882 motor car
design never have exerted a more pro-
nounced influence than today. This
emphasis on appearance Is ascribed to
woman's influence in the selection of a
motor car, plus a. rapid evolution In
streamlining and in making cars lower.
This is the conviction OF automotive
ofncials, who point out that the me-
chanical progress of the automobile
which Is very pronounced this year has
stimulated women's confidence in their
ability to drive anywhere. so that ex-
terror and interior finish transcends
everything else In appealing to the
feminine buyer.

PLEA IS MADE FOR PROTECTION
OF HIGHWAY FINANCE STRUCTURE
Road Builders President Urges Restraint
In Motor Taxes and Warns of Excessive
Revenue Diversion.

A warning against possible damage
at this time to one Of the financial
structures which most firmly main
tained its soundness throughout the
depression was sounded today by w. r.
Smith, president of the American Road
Builders Association.
The two specific dangers which Mr..
Smith tnveighs against at this time
are excessive motor vehicle taxation
and the excessive diversion of motor
vehicle revenues. These, he declares,
involve possibilities of a serious aggra-
vation of the Nations traffic problem.

The woman who finds she cannot
park her car more than 80 minutes
wonders what they mean by saying the
automobile has come to stay.
A Wit has declared that the demount-
able rim was devised for the purpose of
enabling women to change their tires
as easily ss the r minds. That might
have been true yesterday, but today a
tire change has become fairly difficult
job even fer a man. Removing the
wheels with the tires has added to the
weight and bulk. Particularly the bulk
showing that there is mental factor
involved. Since a woman always runs
the risk of having to change a tire
herself I want to pass along the tip
to avoid jacking up the car so high. If
the tire Just clears the ground you will
not have to lift it so high when taking
it off or when putting it on.
was talking with a motorist who
said he wouldn't want his wife to use
the automatic clutch control on the
new car he has just bought. His reason
was that If she happened to leave the
car in gear when waiting at
pedestrian crossing, and then stepped
on the accelerator, the car would leap
ahead.
But why would she be any more
likely to do this than you or any other
man wOCld?" I queried.
Because women have always had
the habit of stSlling the motor by for
getting to shift to sutral when they
stop" was his explanation. Think it
over.
Speaking of stalling reminded him
OF ancther poln5. When you stall the
motor" he said, ''it is usually because
you have tried to run too slowly in
high gear. After the stall you're
ueUally still in gear Now how do you
expect the automatic starter to function
efficiently with such a handicap"
His hint was that If drivers would
learn to shift to neutral when they
should they probably would stall the
motor less frequently. Just an extra
dividend on the idea.
When the engine stalls in traffic the
chances are that its mixture has be-
come overheated. A woman need not

tails. Just remember the rule to avoid
using the choke until a fair trial has

HOFMAN's ANNUAL
 K|DDO PICNIC ENJOYED

Two weeks ago Joe s. Holman gave 15 or 20 young local poys a picnic on his ranch near the emu Nash road. Yesterday-Sunoay, It was the girls turn and about 2o or them, including a few real htIle bows, were guests of MT. Holman.
 It is an annual custom of his to give the boys and girls of seward brief outing on his homestead and do they have fun? We'll, just ask any of them!
 Loaded down with their lunches, three autos conveyed the girls and "teenee-wienee" boys to the end of the road which ends at the beach: from there it was just a short hike along the sand to the old homestead. The children were back in town by 5 o'clock but be- fore bidding their kind and thot- full host goodbye, thanked him for the wonderfully good time all en- loved.

The dealer has a minimum open
ing bid of one spade, either first
or second hand. If his partner
should raise him to only two or
three spades, discretion would COM
mand the dealer to bid 10 more
since he has no tricks beyond what
his opening bid guarantees.
Partner is we'll justified in bid
ding four spades Immediately. Such
a contract can be made if cards
are played correctly and there is no
abnormal distribution. At least the
chances are good and are worth
taking.
No-trump is out of the gues-
ton because of the weakness in
clubs. 1t would take five diamonds
for game, and spades are better.
Partner would valuate his hand
as follows: IL tricks in spades
Zone for the ace and half a trick
for length); IL tricks in hearts;
one trick in diamonds for length;
two tricks because of the single
ton club and adequate trumps for
ruffing.
The conservative total of prob
able tricks is six. The normal ex-
pectancy is three. Therefore part
ner has a triple raise, that is from
one to four spades.

THE
WHISPERING
PINE
sSketches and rhapsodies in
I spired by the Beart0oth
Mountains
By BILL GAIL
A NIGHT WITH NATURE

Flames from the campfire leap
and dart about like little red devils,
cracking and splitting gleefully as
they flicker away into the sur
rounding darkness. Shadows play
tag among the pine trees where the
dull light from the fire melts away
into blackness. The pale moonlight
bathes the earth with a soft hazy
glow of silver and throws a halo
around the shaggy arms of the
trees. Everything puts on a mys-
terious appearance. The tops of the
pines seem systematically high
and, pushing up into the sky, have
secret communion with the fleecy
white clouds which stretch to n
another like couriers in a whispered
conversation. The moonlight glints
along a silken hawSer which some
spider engineer has spun between
two branches. Fireflies chase up
and down intent on life. The creek
babbles a sleepy song of content
ment.
A wierd uncanny scream pierces
the silence. 1t shrieks in a rising
cresendo, till at its crest it breaks
as tho frightened by its own au-
dacity, and the shattered cry flut-
ters to earth like a bird with a
broken wing, ending finally in a
gurgling, stifled sob. AS if this
were a signal the night comes to
life. A faint mournful howl floats
in from the distance. A sharp zip
of excitement comes from the
glade as some animal misses a
catch. A new splash echoes up from
the creek. Tiny feet rustic the thick
carpet of pine needles as midget
hunters dash about in search of
food. Overhead great gray bodies
swish by and little black shapes
buzz around like angry bees. Ev-
erywhere the night is teeming with
life.

SUNRISE IN THE BEARTOOTHs

The fellow who wrote nothing

lima in the morning never saw a
dawn in the Beartooths.
Sunrise here is practically a sun
set in the east, for the early morn
ing rays reach I'D into the sky to
paint in subtle blends and delicate
hues the fluffy clouds that line the
eastern horizon. The entire east
ern sky is a dazzling display of
the color spectrum, framed by the
dark skyline at its base, and the
still-lingering darkness that is
quickly disappearing into the west,
at its top.
The first exploring fingers of
sunlight cause objects to cast long
shadows, and the hazy appearance
