TO AVOID ACCIDENTS

BacOuse of the constantly increas-
ing number of motor car accidents
on the highways and on city streets,
government officials are greatly in
terested in any plans for the reduc-
tiOn of tire wear. and the elimina-
tiOn of unsafe bald-headed and worn
out tires from the roads. Engineers
have long pointed out that brakes
stop the wheels but that the tires
stop the car. and numerous safety
tests have shown that he skidding
of bald-headed and worn on tires
have been responsible for many ia
tai accidents. Tires having well de
fined nOn-skid treads have been
found the safest, with the result
that tire engineers are bending every
effort to develop tires which will
stand up longer under the terrific

over and the NRA workers have to
hang out in the corridors. Govern
ment Offices also occupy most of the
idle space in private buildings

There was great rejoicing when
Senator LaFollette's bill for higher
income taxes for the rich was de-
feated. The man hasn't been found

The opposition to the st. Lawrence

One more sign of spring is the

probably will draw cheers among the
farmers. who. as the largest single
users of motor fuel. already are pay

JAPAN ALONE
IN VIEWS ON
NAVAL TREATY
(By UNITED PRESS

Developments in naval treaty
negotiations among the United
States, Great Britain and Japan:
London Norman H. Davis,
American representative, warns in
speech of danger of world naval
armament race if Japan completes
announced intention of Withdraw
ing from present treaty. Joins
Great Britain in declaration for
equality Of security but not of
ornaments.
Washington United States be-
lieved definitely opposed to in
creased naval ratio for Japan and
ready to outbuild other powers if
forced into arms race; favors
present ratio or decrease.
Boston - Japanese Ambassador
Hirosi Saito declares Japan does
not want naval race but favorS
drastic reduction by all powers.
Tokyo-Japan continues prepara-
tions to withdraw from naval treaty
which provides ratio of 5-5-3 for
Britain, United States and Japan.
Expected 10 seek equallty OF arflld-
ments.
Rome-Views of Premier Benito
Mussolini coincide exactly with
those expressed by Davis.
Paris-Frances supports American
views unofficially on theory that
scrapping of treaty would bring
useless naval race.
Significant in the conversations
in London preliminary to the 1886
naval conference has been the ef-
fort of Great Britain and the
United States to avoid any united
front" action against Japan. Similar
ity of policy was noted however in
emphasis of both Davis and British
Foreign Secretary Sir John Simon
on the phrase equality of Sc
curity," which means that each
power should have sufficient naval
arms for its own protection as af-
fected by geographical and other
factors.

Paul Thornton, instructor Of ag-
riculture at Central Union high
school, has told members of the
committee how the palo verde trees
should be pruned to attain best
results. Thornton advises that
now is the time to prune these
trees and states:
"A good many palo verde trees
have been planted in Ell Centre
within the past year. 1t is now
time to begin to shape them so
that in years to come they will be
tall, sturdy trees instead of low,
scraggly bushes. Assuming that
these trees have been so trimmed
during the year that the trunks are
free from side branches up to a
height of at least four feet, 1t is
time now to give little consider
alton to the shaping of the main
branches. If the trunk is taller
than six feet, it should be cut off
at about this height. This will
throw growth into the lateral
branches which are now forming
on the trunk between the four-foot
and six foot height. If no further
pruning is done, total of some 20
or 80 side branches will be formed
on the trunk over this two foot
space; to prevent this all of these
side branches should be removed
close to the trunk with the excep-
ton of five or six, these to be more
or less equally spaced up and down
and around the trunk. The outer
tips of these remaining laterals
should not be cut back as this again
would tend to produce bushy, weak
growth rather than strong heal
thy one. Each tree should be tied
up we'll to a strong post to prevent
its being blown over by the wind.
IF these instructions are follow
ed, the result will be a strong, stur-
dy, beautifully shaped tree with a
heavy crown, providing ample
shade"

The entente was said to resem-
BILE a defensive alliance, presum-

in the chamber of deputies that, in
event of war with Germany, the
huge Russian army would march
with the French.
However, it was understood the

of the League of Nations covenant
1t also was reported it provided
that neither France nor Russia
would conclude bilateral pact
with third nation which might
hinder conclusion of security and

PEELED students as "rebellious" and
denounced certain, self-acclaimed
student leaders"
That the rebellion was not to end
with these resolutions was indicat-
ed in anonymously chalked state
ments that appeared on blackboards
in class rooms. These, for the most
part, said Tear up the New Re

BRENNAN TO
BE RELIEVED
FROM POST

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 6 U.P) 49,
Reorganization Of state depart
ments under Gov. Frank F. Mer-
riam's administration was under
way today with announcement that
John P. Brennan would be relieved
of his $4,000 a year position as
chairman of the Veterans Welfare
Board.
The custer was accomplished
through resignation Of Walter y.
Kibbey, Ell Centre member Of the
board, three weeks before his term
would have expired January l. The
vacancy permits the governor to
appoint q new board member and
designate him as chairman to Sue
ceed Brennan. Brennan's term as
member of the board does not eX-
pire until 1897 but only the chair
manship carries a salary.
Several applicants were being
considered for the veterans post,
Merriam said. Prominently men-
toned was Thomas NJ. Foley, San
Francisco attorney, who conferred
with the governor late yesterday.
Kibbey was formerly an attorney
in Ell Centre but has not resided
here for more than 10 years.
