NEW RAILWAY
CARS RUN ON
DIRT ROADS

SAN FRANCISCO. U.P)-Railroad
cars that will leave the rails and
drive to the shippers door to picl:
up carload consignments is the
unique service promised by the old
; Ocean Shore railroad, now going
through rehabilitation.
Modern railway equipment will
make the new service possible, &C
cording to Harry w. Cole, one of the
principals in the revival of the road.
In conjunction with its regular
freight and passenger service, Cole
said, the railroad will have light,
roller-bearing gas rail cars and
trailerS, adapted to both rail and
highway transportation
Carry Two Sets of Wheels
The new light cars are equipped
to drop rubber-tired wheels and
move over highways to the ship
per's door, load and return to the
rails, lift the rubber-tired wheels
and drop flange wheels for the run
into San Francisco. There the opera
ton will be reversed and the Ship
ment delivered to warehouses with
out the necessity of re-handling
the goods.
The lighter cars also will result
in faster transportation, according
TO Cole, one of the roller-bearine
cars with trailer attached being able
to attain a speed of 40 miles an
hour an the rails in five-eighths of
a mile.
Other Services Offered
The new service will be one of
three types planned by the rail-
road, including local freight, pas
senger and transcontinental re-
frigeration.
The refrigeration service is re-
garded as of much Importance to
shippers in the area served bv the
road. Refrigeration cars will be
brought to loading spurs near var
lous coast ranches and agricultural
products loaded. In this manner
long truck hauls of vegetables and
produce will be eliminated and the
chances of bruising reduced.
The road as originally built was
constructed simultaneously from
San Francisco. The two sectors were
never joined and the closing of the
missing mileage will be the first
task undertaken after the rehabili-
tatlon OF the present right-of-

In Welfare Work

EDMONTON, Alta, U.p)-Eskimos
are years ahead in social credit
ideas, according to R. A. Learmont,
factor of the Hudson's Bay Com
pany's post at King William Island.
IF social credit means sharing
with the other fellow, Eskimos have
been doing that for years." he said
when he reached here recently after
1,70O-mile air journey from the
Arctic.
The trip was Learmont's first
taste of civilization in seven years.
These stream Lined automobiles
and fresh peaches look pretty good

Do Not Speed
At Night

Figures compiled by the First
Precinct Safety Officers Of the
Detroit Police Department clearly
indicate night driving to be most
dangerous. We wish to call your
attention to the fact that so far
this month there have been four
teen persons struck and killed by
automobiles, in the city Of Detroit
and all but one Of these were kill
ed during the hours of darkness
To date this year 149 fatalities
have occurred during the hours OF
darkness, as compared with 65 dur
ing daylight hours.
There being less cars on the
street after certain hours, motor
lists deem it safe to increase their
speed. When two automobiles en-
ter an intersection at the same
time driven by drivers of this
opinion, a serious accident is in
evitable.
While the distance required to
stop an automobile remains the
same after dark, our range Of vi
sion is greatly reduced. Compare
the distance at which objects are
clearly discernable, particularly
to the right and left, while driving
at night, with that distance in
which they are visible during the
day. Let this comparison govern
your speed at night.

ficers, of the Detroit Police De-
partment.

The shooting occurred Tuesday
