PUEBLO, Colo, March 20.-Nine- ty-one-year -old Frank Benham who has driven an automobile i00- GOO miles without an accident, says that if you want to avoid collisions, keep your feet near the brakes. ?

 T made my first U-turn on a street recently he says. T would n't have done it, but the state auto license examiner made me do it when I took my driving test.
 T drive around the block rather than make a U-turn. Then I know nobodys going to hit me"
 Benham came to Colorado in an ox-drawn prairie schooner years ago and drove a horse and wagon for years.

 Mexico This Time

Here's a chance to make $95, ,000 And if you don't believe it, read the letter below received in Juneau in the last mail.
 It's new racket. The old Span- ish trunk gag is being worked from Mexico City this time. And chanc- es are that if the mysterious 'L' has sent out enough letters, from among them he will garner few dollars from the gullible.

Salmon Canning Most Efficient
 Is Report Made
Sixteen Hundred Cans Are Examined at Recent
 Demonstration

The human element in salmon canning is becoming more efficient, according to findings at the Nation al Gamers Association fifth an- nual Canned Salmon Cutting Dem onstration, held at Seattle early in March. While the quality of the fish canned is largely dependent upon natural conditions, the final pack quality is equally dependent upon the workmanship and care in the canning operations, the judges pointed out.
 More than 1900 cans of salmon, representing all varieties and all American packing districts were examined and judged at the cutting which was attended by over 500 can nery superintendents and other key employees in the production divis- ion of the salmon industry.
 Following the cutting and judg- ing, reports were made at an after noon meeting on the quality and workmanship of the 1897 pack, by varieties. Judges on Alaska Reds Pinks, and Chums, all reported that the condition of the samples indi- cated greater care in the packing of the fish, as compared with the 1885 pack. At this session, which was presided over by Victor Elfendahl of the Alaska Pacific Salmon Com pany, addresses were made by John L. Harvey, chief of the Seattle sec ton of the U. s. Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Frederick A. Davidson of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, Peter Dybwad of Uganik Fisheries, Inc, and Frank c. Elliott of Henry Peabody & Co.,, Ltd
 MT. Harvey discussed revised plans for federal inspection of the pack and also told of his observa- tions in Alaska last season. He noted improvement in sanitation methods and use of hypochlorites, and in the emphasis on getting fish to the can- nery in the shortest lapse of time
 MT. Dybwad spoke on the use and value of hypochlorites in the can neries and fish boats.
 According to the National Can ners' Association, the purpose of this cutting is to permit the cannery men to observe for themselves the quality and results of their seasons work. This event is considered to have strong beneficial effect in improving the quality and work manship of the annual pack.
 This years meeting concluded
 with banquet at which American Can Company was host. E. M. Bren-
 nan, general manager of P. E. Har-
 ris & Co, served as toastmaster.

" COBB, JR., TENNIS COACH,
 U. OF GEORGIA
By BILL BORING

ATHENS, March 20. - Ty Cobb Jr., husky red-head, is gaining tennis importance for a name inn mortal in baseball.
 The young and heavier edition of the Georgia Peach" is handler of athletes. But tennis-not baseball players are his charges.
 He is the University of Georgia's new court coach.
 Bearing a striking resemblance to his famous father and proud of the competitive heart and love of sports he inherited, young Ty, how ever, emphasizes his desire to pay for his own ticket" into the sports show.
 Georgia elected him tennis coach after he had gained knowledge of the game at Yale and in tourna- ment play.
 To Be Doctor
 He explained the Yale freshman courtmen and later won a varsity berth. His tourney achievements in- clude the Connecticut State indoor, the Augusta (Ga) city singles and a number of minor meet titles.
 A junior at Georgia, he is taking a pre-medical course.
 After baseball, dad would have chosen medicine as a profession, ' he declares.
 Cobb, besides coaching tennis, is assistant swimming inTtructor at Georgia. Besides tennis and swim ming, he likes football, basketball, hunting and fishing.
 Silent About His Team
 About baseball
 T haven't the slightest interest in it."
 He has his own ideas for whip ping athletes into shape:
 Drill them on points of weak ness. Keep them keyed up."
 He says competitive heart--a burning urge to win-is the "one thing necessary" in sports.
 Cobb, like most coaches, refuses to discuss his team's prospects.
 The youngster weighs 1855, about 20 pounds more than his father weighed in his heyday.
 His home is Augusta, Ga. He is 26.

NAVY SEEKING PATENTS MANY
 ARE REQUESTED
Most of Them Are Regard. ing Military Secrets
 Prepare for War

WASHINGTON, Mar. 20-By the way, you might like to know that.
 Applications for about 25 secret military patents are received by the patent office every year Most como from the Navy. The patents are never granted unless somebody else comes along with similar patenC in which case the first application is put through to protect the in ventor.
 The reason patents are not grant, ed at once is that when granted they immediately are open to the public, and so are no longer secret The secret applications accumulate from year to year. Nobody in the patent office would tell us about any of them so it can't be said whether they will revolutionize the next war.

Depression Study Planned

The Commerce Department is asking Congress for $430,000 to set up a division of industrial econom- ics. Among it's jobs would be a study of business cycles and how to modify them, both on the boom end and on the depression end. Incidentally, some economists are guessing 1889 as about the date of the next de- pression. They say it won't be near ly so bad as the last one but will display all the symptoms in half pint dimensions.
 There has been no publicity on the results of that famous Roose- welt poll of the views of ministers and pastors taken few months before the election. Ministers with complaints rushed to print with their replies and created an im- precision of wholesale church op- position to the New Deal.

PROPOSES THAT CONGRESS NAME:
 CHIEF OF WAR
iPennsylvanian Suggests $ New Commander for
 Army and Navy
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March 20. = The more we think about it the more excited We get about the proposal of Representative Gray, Pennsyl- |yania Democrat to amend the con- sstitution to permit Congress to sell |ect the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy when called into service.
 The constitution makes the Pres ident the Commander in Chief but the resolution of MT. Gray would change this. When MT. Gray was asked what all the shooting was [. bout he said
 Tn case Of rebellion, the people would decide who could order the soldiers to fire on them
 That sounded pretty ominous ano we asked MT. Gray if he thought there some time might be rebel lion.
 T introduced the resolution" Inc Salu. mat speaks for ltself.
 He said it was entirely his own idea, that no organization was back of him. His proposed amendment reads:
 "The Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the sev- eral States when called into ac- tual service of the United States by secret ballot, two-thirds of each House concurring, from among the officers of the Army not below the rank of Major General. and with the advice and consent of such off cers."
 Besides others who might object to the proposition the Navy would not like so well since it does not seem to have look in.

Defdulted,
Branch 'HedUen'
Sells at Auction

One of the heavens fell in Wash
ington, but it didn't fall far, and
none of the angels were hurt.
According to the prosaic rec
ords of the mundane Hole, it
was one of Father Divine's branch
heavens, occupied until recently by
disciples of the colored New York
evangelist. BY an order Of the
earthly courts, the heaven fell on
the auction block when the angels
failed to keep up the payments on
the mortgage, and is now back in
an unimaginative world as the
property of the Federal Govern
ment.
There was a $4,000 loan on the
property-in real money, despite
devaluation.
Sister Peaceful Joy, in charge
of the washington heaven, said 1t
didn't matter much anyway, since
the heavenly hosts had found bet
ter quarters elsewhere.
The auctioned paradise was in
the 1000 block Clagett st. N. E.
