INDEPENDENCE DAY
(By BILLIE cAMERo)

One hundred and fifty-eight years ago,
On the Fourth of July, it is stated
In Independence Hall in Philadelphia,
The gallant men of country congregated.
And here they drew up document
Which set the American people free
From Britain's harsh and unjust rule
Gave that long fought-for Liberty.
And now, over a century later,
In another city far away,
We are still celebrating
In honor Of that great day.
And just as that day so long ago
Meant that new nation had started,
Let's all hope that this day will mean
That the depression" has for ever departed.

SUMNER DRIVING
STRESSES NEED
TOWARD SAFETY
CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS ARE
DISCUSSED UNDER NEW
CONDITIONS; WOULD ELL
INMATE CAUSE

The peak of the 1884 driving
season has brought higher speeds
than ever before-faster ac-
celebration, quicker stopping.
Safety is a leading topic of the
day. What are the causes of ac-
cidents under these new condi-
tons What can a motorist do
to eliminate the most common
causes?
The first thing to do is find out
how quickly you can stop. If your
brakes are working well, and
you'll want to see that they are.
it will take you about 240 fit. to
stop when you are going at the
rate of so miles an hour. Of this
total distance, as #. is thinking
time and l95 TT. is actual braklng
distance. When you travel 70
miles an hour. it will take you 301
#. to stop. If you are just now
ing along slowly. at say 80 miles
an hour, you may think that you
can stop almost instantly. Not SO
s-.-it will take about sc fit. for a
very alert driver.
Quick stopping ability will do
much toward avoiding accidents
at signal lights, on slippery pave
ments and when unforeseen cir
cumstanees arise. Safety equip
ment is one thing that you can be
sure of, and it helps to overcome
the uncertain human elements
yourself and the other driver.
Lights, horns, steering mechanism.
rear view mirrors, windshield
wipers, parts affecting pickup
such as spark plugs, and all inn
portant, but the most important
single factor in safety at modern
speeds is your tire equipment.
Don't drive on thin worn tires and
don't buy cheap and inferior new
tires.
The recognized speed and en-
durance contests where men bat
tie for fame, fortune and world
records will give you definite
idea of the Importance of tire
safety. When professionals buy
tires on which they will risk their
lives and stake their fortunes,
they act upon definite observa-
ton and experience. They choose
the tire that will stand the utmost
punishment and nothing can in
duce them to use any other tire.
It is not a matter Of chance or
guesswork that for the past seven
years Firestone tires have equip
ped the winning cars in the Pike
Peak Contest and for the past
fifteen years have equipped the
winning cars in the Indianapolis
Race.
These drivers know all about
construction, for example, the
Firestone patented construction
process of Gum-Dipping which
coats each fiber within the cord
body of the tire with liquid rub
Der. 1t is this process which
makes possible a number of major
improvements for safety in the
High Speed Tire for 1884, includ-
ing wider tread, deeper non-skid,
and more and tougher rubber.

Residents in the south part of

ed this morning by young man
who called at houses in that dis
trict, supposedly peddling soap, but
who questioned persons as to how
they were voting. He became rath-
er nasty in several instances, police
were told and on departing from
each home marked a large B and
other characters on the house.
When told of these actions by in
dignant residents, two officers made
an investigation and returned TO
headquarters with four men who
were trying to sell some sort OF

residents by inquiries on how they
intended to vote. 1t was discov-

to peddle in the city and were
working out of San Diego.

police station and allowed TO leave

Reservations are continuing to
headquarters for the chambers trip

eral response as many persons real
ize that it is their only opportunity
of seeing Boulder Dam actually un-
der construction, as the pouring of
the concrete will be finished in just
a few months, and as the Dam con-
struction becomes higher, the work
decreases.
Manager Robert Hays of the

of taking the trip, and all those who
later do so, to inform the cham
ber of commerce staff whether or
not they desire sleeping accomoda-
tionS reserved at BarstoW and at

holiday. Las Vegas particularly will
be thronged, and it is necessary that
reservations be made in advance to
be assured of hotel Accommodations.
The chamber of commerce asks
all those who are planning to make
the trip to notify headquarters SO
that an idea OF the size of the mo-

He points out, among other
things, that what Rice Institute
hasn't got but needs is a publicity
man to tell the world of that
schools excellent football. His mod
esty is obvious in his communique,
which follows in part:
I'm afraid you guys up in New

Wonder if it ever occurred to you
that southwest teams have played
merry hell with the midwest and
eastern teams? I refer to Rices vic
i tory over Purdue, Texas win over
Notre Dame and S. M. us defeat
of Fordham.
Rice has a great team. At this
writing. it looks like a cinch to win
the Southwest Conference cham
picnship. We have a couple of guys
on the team that sure deserve lit
tie of that all-America mention.
Now, how about asking Fordham,
Holy Cross, Columbia, Pitt, Carnegie
Tech, Harvard, Yale, Princeton or
any other team up there for game
next year?
I'VE would play our second string
against any of them!
The reason l am writing this
about Rice is because this little old
school is still in swaddling clothes
as far as athletics are concerned.
But we have freshman team COM

SPARTANS To
BRUSH Up ON
PLACE KICKS

Light practice yesterday of Cen
trails varsity squad featured a one
half hour workout on place-kicking
with Dilbeck, Bob Furbass, Fox and
Madden doing the honors. Central
is desperately weak on this score,
and Coach w. S. Taylor is trying to
get a man who can make that extra
point, in case Central gets a touch
down in the Holtville game.
A large amount of time during yes
terday's practice period was spent
by the coach in a lecture on mis-
takes made in the BraWley game.
He pointed out that the blocking
on offense has been as poor as is
possible and still be called blocking.
On defense, the team was equally
inefficient because of poor tackling.
They did not hit hard enough in
the first place, and, after they did
hit, often let their men slide off.
Afer this talk, to get in a few good
lickS. the line hit the sled and the
dummy. Backs and ends worked on
passing.
Today's practice will bring some
offensive work, and defense against
Holtville's double wing back plays,
In an endeavor to stop that heavy
hitting fullback, Morgan. If Central
can stop Morgan, there is a chance
for win, according to Taylor For
the first time since the second week
of practice, the squad will be put
through a session of open field tack-
ling, with the third team running
through the first and second teams.
Instructions to hit hard and heavy
have been given.
Injuries of one kind and another
still dog the footsteps of the local
gridsters, reducing the number of
possible participants in the coming
contest. Hui showed up yesterday
with a twisted knee. OF the two re-
manning ends, one has been declared
ineligible, with a chance, however,
of making this up before the end of
the week. Which, if you are good at
arithmetic, leaves Central with ex-
actly one available end. This is not
too good a spot to be in, especially
with rough, tough aggregation like
Holtville out for your scalp.
