STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Vehicular Equipment and the
Safety Methods That
Are Required
MENACE OF LIGHTS

According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council, any vehicle with unsafe
equipment or that is so loaded that
it cannot be safely operated is a
menace to the community. Traffic
laws require vehicular equipment
and methods of carrying passeng-
ers or merchandise that have been
shown to be safe. -Four Wheels,
No Brakes" applies to many indi-
vidual vehicles. Improper adjust
ment causes skiding when the
brakes are applied. Two-wheel
brakes should be adjusted for equal
and adequate braking power on
both wheels. Four-wheel brakes
must be adjusted for proper rela-
tion between the front and rear
pairs of brakes and for equal brak-
ing power within each pair. A mo-
tor vehicle with good two-wheel
brakes should be able to stop from
speed of 20 miles per hour in a
distance of 35 to 40 feet on dry
pavement, while correspondingly
good adjustment of four-wheel
brakes should accomplish the same
results in 18 to 20 feet. On a slip
perry pavement, these stopping dis
tances are increased because the
wheels will slide easily. Well
charged batteries and good head
light lamps are of little account if
the beam of light is improperly di-
rected. Properly adjusted lamps
give the best spread and height of
beam for the greatest convenience
in driving. They should show equal
illumination of a vertical surface
approached on level roadway. If
one is higher, larger or brighter
than the other, the adjustment
should be corrected. This, however,
is not a complete test for proper
adjustment. If both lamps are
similarly out of adjustment, this
must be determined by more refin-
! ed methods. If your lights do not
adequately serve your purpose for
driving or if other drivers COM
plain of your adjustment by flash
ing their lights from dim to bright
as you approach them, you should
have them checked up without de-
lay. The "one-eyed' car is Lien
ace. The driver approaching in an
other car cannot readily tell which
light is out and may run off the
pavement or into some obstruction
/ to be sure to avoid collision. A
properly directed rear view mirror
is a great convenience if not an ac-
tual necessity. Vehicles that are
so constructed or loaded that ap.
proved hand signals cannot be Civ

OFFICERS ARE ON CASE

Harvey Cole, Railroad detective

officers in apprehending burglars
who winthin the past week have
entered and robbed four places in

son, Md, including the Greensboro
Railroad Station. Burglars are al

cash and a quantit of goods in the

early Wednesday morning of last
week the robbers entered the gar
age of Wilbur Carroll at Green's
boro, by prying open the rear door
with a erowbar. steaing $1.50 in
change from the cash drawer. The
thieves then went to the rear of
Herbert Legar's hardware store
which they entered in the same
manner, taking $1.25 in cash and
fountain pen. Not satisfied with
their small amount of cash, the
robbers then went to the Office of
the Pennsylvania Railroad station
at Greensboro where they forced
open a window, and according to
agent F. N. Coursey stole about
$19 in cash. The thieves then went
to Henderson and broke into the
filling station operated by Lloyd

have got SIS in cash. Sheriff Sauls-

BRIDGE DELAY
IN CHESAPEAKE
Counsel Declares That Efforts
of Years Are Wasted
AS Result
APPEAL TO LEGISLATURE

Public officials did not urge the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge project
with the enthusiasm and vigor that
it deserved, Philip b. Perlman,
counsel in a letter to the heads of
the two houses of the General AS
sembly last week, although its
failure meant that years of effort
and legislation "were wasted, ut
terly and finally" He wrote to
give Lansdale G. Sasscer, President
of the Senate, and Emanuel Cor
fine, speaker of the House, some
explanation of the failure up to this
time to obtain Favorable action
from the Federal Public Works AID
ministration on the application for
a grant and a loan to construct a
bridge across Chesapeake Bay"
Need For Span Cited
His letter ended, however, with
the statement that "the need for a
bridge across Chesapeake Bay can
not be disputed if the people
of Maryland really want it and
make their demand loud enough
for Washington to hear and be
impressed, it may not be too late. "
Tracing at considerable length the
various steps in the negotiations
for loan and grant to finance the
bridge, Mr.. Perlman emphasized
that from August 10, 1885, when
Secretary Ickes suggested his will
ingness to make loan, provided
the reconstruction Finance Cor
poration would buy the bridge
authority's bonds, until February s.
1886, when a Maryland delegation
was told that PWA funds were no
longer available, members of the
authority did not see Mr.. Ickes at
all.
No Protests Were Made
Mr. Ickes' action ''in first declin-
ing the expected loan, and later
withdrawing the prospect of a
grant after he had suggested that
the State officials obtain the loan
Ielsewhere-and making the with
drawal without notice and at the
very moment when the authority
believed itself in position tc
market its bonds and obtain the
needed baance-would seem to
have invited some attempt by the
United States Senators and the
members of the authority" Mr.
Perlman wrote, ito argue for fair
er treatment of the State of Mary
land"
Authority Created
The Chesapeake Bay Authority
was created at the last regular
session of the General Assembly
with power to issue Sill, ,72O 900 in

GOLD DIGGING
LOSES GLAMOUR
Old Time PrOspectOr Gives
Way to the Modern
GeOlOgist
WAS COLORFUL VENTURE

Phoenix, Ariz.-Another bit of
color of the old West is slipping
from the stage, in the person OF
the old-time prospector, mining men
say.
Once the picture of the patient
prospector matching patience with
his gray, plodding burros was au-
thentic.
No longer is that true-not for a
majority or even a sizable percent
age of the thousands who have
poured back into the gold districts
with the rise In value of the yell
low metal.
Perhaps there are not 100 Of the
genuine old-style gold seekers left
within the state. Their favorite
pack animal, the burro, once of
some value, is today worth less
than nothing. Hundreds of them
roam the desert wild, particularly
In the western mountain districts.
where they damage ranges and
cause cowmen difficulties.
Became Wild as Deer.
AS wild as deer, they are practi-
cally impossible to trap or shoot
and outspeed the fieetest horses.
While the prospector's aid has
speeded up and taken to a wild
life, the prospector has settled
down. There are perhaps as many
prospectors as ever, but they ope-
rate differently.
No longer driving burros across
the hills in search of gold, most Of
them confine their activities to a
single community, or to only a few
communities, and move at rare In
tervals. Oftentimes they win work
years In development of a single
prospect.
The result is that when they do
move, they do so by train or auto.
Economic factors have contrib
uted to the passing of the old meth
cd of prospecting. 1t no longer
pays. The most easily discover
able deposits of rich ore having
been taken, 1t usuall.- requires more
digging and development for a
claim to have demonstrable value.
The digging or development can
not be done in a short time, and
so the prospector chooses locality
which shows favorable indications
and settles down to go to work.
Now Making Good.
With the increased price of gold
and silver, as well as copper, many
who have patiently worked without
return for years are now begin
ning to realize on their labor. But
for the majority there is still no
rainbow at the end of the trail.
This is partly due to several rea-
sons. Popular impression which
assigned geological or mineralogi.
cal insight to the prospector was
mostly wrong-and so were the
prospectors. Many of them, in ad-
dition to being without mineralogi.
cal knowledge, were without capi.
tai.
To correct the former falling, the
University of Arizona School OF
Mines, cooperating with the federal
government. has offered prospecting
courses In principal districts
throughout the state and has
trained thousands In detection and
location of minerals.
