HEADLIGHTS AND wINDsHIELDs

Calling attention to recent serious
accidents in which the blame was
placed on binding headlights, the
Keystone Automobile Club OF Mary
land urges upon motorists the ne
cessity not only of maintaining their
lights in proper focus, but also of
keeping their lenses and winGshields
clear of mud and grit.
"It is not generally appreciated by
The average driver" said Albert E.
Buckley, Manager of the Club,
that he contributes greatly to the
glare of approaching headlights by
permitting his windshield to remain
covered with an accumulation of
CRIME.
"The effect of dirt on tbs wind
shield is to refract the light rays in
manner tending to dazzle or blind
the driver. Motorists who have
observed the difference in driving
conditions with the windshield spot
less invariably keep channels skin
handy for polishing the glass before
driving at night.
''It is equally true that no matter
how carefully lights are focused,
they will cause discomfort for ap-
preaching motorists if the lenses
are coated with dirt.
1T is little enough to expect
motorists to keep their lenses
shined for the benefit of other users
of the highway. The driver who
imperils his own life by driving with
a begrimed windshield has only
himself to blame if disaster befalls
him through this cause"

Because OF its geographical location
at the northwest corner of the CONT

South America.
More than ever is this enterprising
country becoming the chief center OF
interest for those who visit the South

OF public works and transportation ia
cilities in Colombia. Water. rail and
air transportation are extensively
used. Airplane travel. In fact. Is more
the accepted mode of covering long
distances than almost anywhere else
In the world.
Beautiful Architecture.

lecture. Pure Spanish. as well as
Gothic and Byzantine characteristics
are seen in mahy of the old cathe

ings. Alongside these. one finds the
most modern Influences In recently
built business structures and dwell
ings. City planning has been fol.

plane with which to survey the route.
With this new method of survey they
were able to do in few days what
would have required months to accom-
plished by older methods.
Locating cable routes was formerly
an engineering Job carried on with
transit, rods and chain. In this in
stance, the pilot was furnished with
a map on which was indicated the
proposed route connecting certain
cities. He loaded his aerial camera,
warmed up his plane took off, circled
up to an altitude OF about 10000 feet,
poin;ed his ship in the direction over
which the cable was to be constructed,
and began taking photographs of the
area designated. The work was COM
pleted in four days OF flying. After
the pictures were taken, three COM
plete sets of photographs totaling 64S
exposures each were made, and from
these prints the company's engineers
were able to determine the most prac-
teal route to use for the proposed
cable

is used largely for connecting local
telephone lines in cities and towns.
1t is also used extensively for long
distance lines. Today about rs per

nected by cable. About "a per cent

EXPRESSES APPRECIATION TO
.~. NEWSPAPERS


Under date of February 20, we,
afesin receipt of the following letter
from the Chairman Of the National
Committee Of the Birthday Ball for
the President, in which he expresses
his appreciation for the cooperation
Of newspapers throughout the coun-
try in. the ! furtherance. OF THE
Birthday Ball for the Presid mt, +" as
means of raising funds for the
Warm Springs, Georgia, lnfantile
Paralysis institution The letter
reads:
Now that The Birthday Ball for
the President has come to success
full conclusion, feel that / would be
remiss in closing this activity unless
l took opportunity to express to you
the appreciation of the National
Committee for all that you and your
associates have done in making this
success possible.
OF course, no social event is a real
success without the cooperation of
the press, but in this particular case
the newspapers of the country play
ed a much greater role than the in
valuable one of acquainting all of
their readers with the event
Over $500 local committees thru
out the country were organized in
practically five weeks. Mr. Carl
Byoir, the General Director of the
National Committee, tells NE that
this record of organization would
have been absolutely impossible ex-
cept for the fact that the local chair
men, almost without exception, were
nominated by the local newspaper
publishers. Thus we were able to
enlist, almost instantly, chairmen
who had the support and confidence
of their community.
1 think the most hearten,ng fact
developed by this campaign was
that, without single exception, the
newspapers of this country, both
daily and weekly, Joined in organi-
zing and supporting this great hui
name work This is probably the
first time in the history of our coun-
try that a nationwide organization
has been effected through the medi-
UNI of the press although, of course,
the newspapers of the country have
frequently given unstintingly of
their space to many Charitable
causes.
AS soon as returns from local
committees are complete and have
been audited by a firm of nationally
known certified public accountants,
full detailed information will be
furnished the public through the
press so that all may know the eX-
tent of the success of the birthday
Ball
1t has been real inspiration to
me to have been ASSOCIATED with
you in this work and just want you
to know that l feel very deeply that
you can always have just pride in
having played so important part
in the fight against infantile paral-
ysis.

In spite of all the obstacles to be
overcome, the signs of better bust
ness are growing more numerous.
There's hardly an industry that
isn't feeling the change. The ter
rife jump in automobile business is
responsible for much of the better
ment, inasmuch as a thousand other
industries contribute to the making,
selling, repairing and serviceing Of
cars. The department stores are
likewise doing much better.
