To Remove Dangers From

The peak OF the 1888 driving YEA

ever before - faster acceleration.

ing topic OF the day. What are the
causes Of accidents under these new
conditions? What can a motcrist
do to eliminate the most common
causes?
The first thing TO do Is 10 find out
how quickly YOU can stop. III Your
brakes are working well. and you'll
want TO see that they are, 1t will
take YOU about gao feet 20 stop when
you are going at the rate Of 90 miles

much toward avoiding accidents at

and when unforeseen circumstances

thing that you can be sure OF, and IL
helps to overcome the uncertain hui
man element - yourself and the 9TH

up such as spark plugs. are ell i'm
portant. but the most important
single factor in safety at medern
speefs is your tire equipment. Don't
drive on thin worn tires and don't
buv cheap and inferior rev tires.
The recognized speed and en-
1uranee contests where men battle
FOR fame. fortune and world re-
cords will give you n definite idea
Of the importance OF tire safety.

which they will risk their lives and
stake their fortunes. they act upon

They choose the tire that will stand
the utmost punishment and nothing
can induce them to use any other
tire. 1t Is not a matter Of chance or
guesswoTk that for the past eight
years FireStone Tires have equipped
the winning cars In the Pixies Peak
Contest and for the past sixteen
years have equipped the winning
cars In the Indianapolis race.
These drivers know all about con-
struction, for example, the Firestone
patented construction process on
Gum Dipping which coats each fiber

liquid rubber. II Is this process
which makes possible a number Of
major improvements for safety In

Enlarge West Point

Over the distractions of Chairman Mcswain the House
Committee Military Affairs has reported bill to make
substantial increase in the number of cadets at West Point
This Of the most important before the present
Congress for which every intelligent American citizen
understands.
Ever since its foundation, the United States Military
Academy has provided the finest basic military education Of
any institution in the world
It's primacy has never been challenged.
The training of it's graduates has saved the nation from defeat
in helped repair the plumbers of national unprpared
and provided the small but essential framework which
in emergencies entire military machine has been built
And there is democratic institution in the country
than West Point.
Any American boy who is appointed to it, matter how
poor he may be- is equal footing with his classmates
All lines Of wealth social position wiped out in the
cadet copssomethng which cannot be said of any college
university in the land
Congress should pass without argument the bill before
it to enlarge the Academy
might well 60 farther and provide for the establishment
of similar academy in the Western part of the United States
No funds have been spent to better pur
pose and NONE CAN BE SPENT TO BETTER PURPOSE
than those devoted to the training Of young Americans along
West Point lines and in accordance with the high standards
which West Point maintains.

Three-Minute Journeys

an air jumI over the Panama
Canal, but it is one of the most
thrilling and interesting rides
that any traveller can enjoy.
After one has made the pas
sage through the canal by boat,
it is a nice idea to hop a sea-
plane and do it all over again
from the air, a jaunt Of little
over half an hour from CriStobal
to Balboa and Panama City.
There is plenty of color, what
with the golden sunshine, the
deep blue of the Atlantic and
later, the Pacific, the soft green
of the jungle and the white
roofs of CriStobal.
OVER COCA SOFA
The plane roars over the palms
of Coca Sofa, the naval air sta
ton, over Fort Davis and over
the trickle of muddy water that
marks the remains of the old
French canal. Then it is on it's
way to Balboa and the city that
