URGE AUTOISTS
OBEY THE SIGNS
States Highways Not Dan
gerous If Warnings Are
Obeyed Says w. w. Mack
VISIBLE BY DAY NIGHT

Delaware highways are not
dangerous if warning signs are
obeyed," is the assertion of w. w.
Mack, chief engineer of the High
way Department. Although every
effort has been made ON the Della
ware highways to notify the mo-
torist of any dangers yet many
pay no attention to them what
ever, he says. The Stop signs
that are posted entering main
highways are frequently disobey-
ed by the driver who merely slows
up and then after the accident has
happened says I didn't see any one
coming and 1 went out on the
road He did not stop. Federal
Yellow the color used as a back
ground for state and Federal
warning signs in Delaware is not
a hit-or-miss accidental election.
Tests have proven that Federal
yellow has greater visibility, lends
stronger contrast to black letter
ing, and attracts the eye of the
motorist with more rapidity than
any other color or shade. In day
light investigators found that at
200 feet almost 100 per cent of the
observers could in eighttenths Of
a second pick up and identify a
Federal yellow sign with stop in
letters six inches high and with
strokes of letters one inch wide.
At night about 20 per cent read
the same sign correctly at 200 feet
when lighted by standard motor
headlights. Beyond 200 feet the
reading fell off rapidly, but when
equipped with rejecting buttons
as many of the Delaware signs are
nearly 80 per cent of the observers
read it at 200 feet. On curve
warnings, the reliability is in
creased by including arrows, point
ing the direction of the curve.
These enabled observer to identify
the signs, but other symbols hin
dered instead of helping"

HELP COLD MOTORS START
sun Oil Company Works Out a
Secret Plan For 1t

Winter brings many problems to
the motorist:-skid chains, anti
freeze for the radiator, car heat
ers. and the like, while one prob
lem stands out even more serious
ly:-that of keeping the battery
up to full strength because of the
drain pput upon it by driving at
night with the headlights on and
by churning and churning away in
attempts to start a cold chilled
motor. 1--WE believe we have found
the secret of helping cold motors
start more easily" says Mr.. Rob-
ert Weir, Jr., local branch man
ager for the Sun Gil Company,
land we believe this secret lies in
the use of low and 20-W Sunoco
Motor Oil, lubricants made espec-
ially for cold weather operation. :"
Some oils" he continued, have a
tendency to thicken into a jelly
like mass when exposed to cold,
and naturally, this offers such a
great resistance to the motor up
on starting that much strain is put
upon the battery to force the mo-
tor to cut its way through this
sticky, semi-solid mass. The two
winter grades of Sunoco Motor Oil
low and 20-W remain fluid and
flow instantly at low temperatures.
Sunoco POW is for temperatures
as low as zero and low for be-
low zero cold snaps. Like all 9th
er grades of Sunoco Motor Oil,
these two are mercury made and
are also 50 pure that they will not
form hard carbon. My earnest ad-
vice is for all mot orists to remem-
Der Sunoco low and 2O-W Mo
tar Oil and to put one of these
two grades in the crankcase of
their cars as soon as they notice
that snappy weather is making
their present oil CONCEAL and
throwing a drain on the battery as
it attempts to turn over the mo
tor"

FIND NEW DRUG
FOR MALARIA
Totaquina Instead Of Quinine
Said to Be More Effective
in Cure of the Disease
IS ALSO MUCH CHEAPER

Geneva.-Totaquina, the new drug
to combat malaria, is proving its
worth.
Discovered by league experts
wishing to lower prices of powerful
quinine rings, limiting quinine sup
plies far below world requirements,
totaquina is becoming popular.
Hospitals and dispensaries in Al
geria, Morocco. Malaga, China.
Italy, France, Rumania, and Spain,
are using totaquina instead of
quinine, according to the league
health sections new survey.
The chronic shortage of qUinine,
the worlds production of which is
SO tons less than required annu-
ally, is considered in the survey as
one of the main difficulties of rid
ding mankind of widespread ma
laria.
While the world does not pro-
duce more than GOO tons of quinine
annually, at least 1,172 tons are re-
quired each year by the 6S ma
larious countries covered by the
leagues Investigations.
To find cheap substitute for qui-
nine, league experts experimental
until they discovered totaquina,
which is a total alcaloid mixture
from different alcaloids of cinchona.
1t has been approved by the
leagues malaria commission repre-
senting all the various schools of
malariology.
The worlds governments should
poll their knowledge of malaria
even more than previously, the sur
vey states. Some strains of ma
laria are virulent in one country
and mild in another, thus making
it essential to study malaria on in
ternational lines. it is added.
The league, which has studied in
relation to malaria. specifies re-
quirement and conditions whereby
a house may be a defense from an
infection and not an exposure to
malaria.

bers of the locals demand that Rich
ard Byrd, Tabor representative on
the Automobile Labor Board with
draw from it, The workers in the
A. F. Of L. locals begin to see thru
the thin promises for higher wages
without strike action, made by the
Automobile Labor Board.
Indignation runs high with the
board particularly in the Flint and
Pontiac A. F. of L. locals. The grow
ing undercurrent of resentment with
the strike breaking actions of the
A. F. of L. leaders is manifest in the
demands for the withdrawal of Byrd
from the Board. The dissatisfaction
of the workers with the board is so
strong that it broke through the
closed doors of the Pontiac con-
ference.
The Detroit Free Press in its re-
port of the conference admits that
"a faction, it was understood, had
been seeking to GUST Richard Byrd,
labor's representative on the Auto
mobile Labor Board, believing that
immediate raises should have been
forthcoming" the answer of the Off
Gals to the demand for the ousting
of Byrd was an enthusiastic en-
dorsement by the conference for his
strike breaking activities.
The mobilization of all A. F. of l..
strike breaking forces is eloquent
testimony to the continued surging
strike sentiment of the workers in
the auto industry. The actions of
the officials at the Pontiac secret
conference is a continuation of the
Roosevelt mo strike" edict and the
order for compulsory arbitration.
The decisions of the Pontiac con-
ference are in marked contrast to
the sentiment Of the rank and file
in the locals.
In fact. demand for action on the
part of the workers compelled the
A. F. of L. to show more openly its
hand and mobilize its forces for
more drastic strike-b breaking activ-
tiles.

Instead of calling a strike on the
18th of April, as the workers ex-
pected and were ready to answer,
as one of the shop committeeman
said, the chairman proposed that
the matter go to arbitration. The
bosses, seeing that they could not
drive the workers. to accept their
offer, agreed at the last moment to
appoint a representative to a local
arbitration committee. The chair
man recommended this be accepted,
but that a strike threat be held
over the arbitration committee if
it does not grant the workers main
demands.
The straw of arbitration was
readily grasped by the employers
because they feel any delay in strike
action works to their interests. They
have many cards up their sleeve. If
the arbitration fails, they can drag
the matter to Washington, and then
back again. In the meantime, they
can prepare for any eventuality. A
strike would change matters en-
tirely and bring them to terms. But
the leadership is weighed down with
many illusions about the New Deal
and what it guarantees to labor.
1t was decided at the mass meet
ing to elect department committees
and department chairmen to handle
all grievances in cooperation with
the general shop committee. These
department committees can be DOW

the inevitable strike action that will
be necessary to win the workers
demands.

Wait 6 Weeks in
Vain for Money

NEW YORK Dorothy Scheer.
Hunter College student who jumped
from the fourth floor Of q college
building, died in the Metropolitan
Hospital Sunday afternoon. Dorothy
committed suicide because of the
fact that she was penniless. She was
working on the FERA, but the
FEzRA has not paid the Hunter Col
lege students for March. She re-
ceived no pay for the last six weeks,
Dorothy's sister Sadie was one of
those laid off from CWA. work
several weeks ago. The two sisters
we're orphans.
Hunter College officials, trying to
cover up the suicide, spread talk of
Dorothy being a "psychopathic case"
and being 'maladiusted." They sup
pressed the fact that she has not
been paid by the relief officials for
the last six weeks. They also told
the reporters that Dorothy "fell''
from the building, although the fact
that she jumped from a room never
used by the students pointed from
the first to suicide.
There are three hundred students
at Hunter College working for the
FERA. Not one of these 300 stu
dents, who are supposed to receive
$500 a month from the FERA, has
been paid in the past six weeks.
Their pay was due the end of March
and on April Is they were still vain

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 10
AS a result Of mass pressure by the
postal subs and P. o. workers in
forms of demonstrations and pro-
test meetings, Postmaster General
Farley today has ordered his de-
partment to rescind the economy
program which had been adopted
last March.
The earlier order called for a Is
per cent pay cut among all postal
employees, invoking of speed-up
working conditions. when substitute
workers were laid off. on the regu-
lars and the reduction of substitute
postal men to starvation levels.
The order now stops the payless
furlough which the workers had to
accept under the old order. the hir-
ing Of more substitutes to regular
positions to relieve the speed-up
pressure and the renewal of normal

Farley's move is seen also as a
