HIGHWAY HAZARDS
GREATER ON TRIPS
Motor Club Head Cites Dangers Due
To Fatigue and Other Threats
while Touring

Charlotte, May 18-Normal highway
hazards encountered by every motor
list are greatly multiplied when the
driver is making an extended tour,
Coleman w. Roberts, President of the
Carolina Motor Club, declared today
in urging that motor vacationists
take every precaution while on the
road.
Unknown roads, varying laws and
regulations, unfamiliar traffic signs
and signalling, together with the fati-
que of long hours at the wheel, all
combine to create a condition of UNI
usual hazard" the A. A. A. executive
said.
There are certain safety princi-
pies that should be observed by the
motorists when touring more than at
any other time. In the first place, he
should remember to stop and relax
every once in a while. He should be
constantly on guard against fatigue
and not try to cover too many miles
a day.
moderate speed is very important
for the tourist; in addition to MAX
ing for increased safety, a normal
driving speed also works a great
saving in gasoline, oil and tires.
''The tourist should always be on the
lookout for traffic signs and signals.
Hand signals are a frequent source of
confusion when travelling because

MAKES HOGS GAIN
TWO POUNDS DAILY

Columbia, May 18-"When you can
make a hog gain more than two

Fl. H. Harris, Tyrrell county farm
agent of the State College extension
service.

stated. He made % pigs gain an
average of ZIG pounds each per day
over a period of so days.
The combined weight of the pigs at
the start IF the feeding demonstra
ton was 1882 pounds Fifty days lat
er they weighed, 4,743 pounds.
Cahoon attributes this success to
two main reasons: First, he has an
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-05-18

some states do not require them and
in others various signals are requir-
ed for the same maneuvers. Whether
or not hand signals are required in
the state through which you are pass
ing, it is wise for you to give ade-
quate manual warning when stopping
or turning. Also, in states where sig
nails are not required, you should be
on guard against vehicles changing
their course without the hand signal
to which you may be accustomed in
your own state.
Summing it all up, the best way in
which "a tourist can assure himself
of returning safe from journey is to
be a road sportsman. It costs so
little, is so much appreciated and re-

CHAPTER 81

my DEAR" soothed Mrs
Smith as Jacqueline pointed a ques-
tioning finger at Lutman, that's
Colonel Lutman. You remember
him. don't you? Come and sit
down, dear. and -"
Remember him!" exclaimed
Jacqueline wildly. II shall never
forget him. mother-never as long
as i live. You think he's your
friend, don't you? You think he's
all that's kind and generous and
honest. don't you? But he isn't. ="
"Jacqueline" exclaimed her
mother sharply. IF you're going
to talk like that. :"
I'm going to tell you, mother.
He isn't kind and generous and
honest. 1 always knew he wasn't,
only you wouldn't believe me. He's
just dirty, crooked swindler!"
"Jacqueline!"
Its true. 1 can prove it's
true"
Before you say another word,
Jacqueline, listen to me. Colonel
Lutman has just asked me to mar
ry him, and have consented"
Jacqueline f1inched as though
someone had struck her.
Marry him? Marry Colonel
Lutman? For heavens sake,
mother! You can't really mean
that ?"
81 certainly do mean it, and un-
less you are prepared to treat
Colonel Lutman with the respect
that is due to him. :"
"R sp ect? Listen, mother.
You've got to listen. You don't
understand. He's foul-vile. The
very fact that he has asked you to
marry him shows how utterly vile
he is"
Lutman was standing by the
mantelpiece, resting an elbow on
it, his face expressionless except
for the suggestion Of amused in
difference in his eyes.
Look at him, mother" ex-
claimed the girl. eff you don't be-
ieve me, look at him! Do you
think that if he had a spark of
decency in him he could stand
there like that and hear me say all
have said, and never utter a
word? There's nothing he can say,
because he knows it's true, because
he realizes the games up. He
didn't count on my turning up. He
thought it was all plain sailing
now" She STROBE across to Lut-
man and faced him. Hadn't you
better go?"
Lutman removed his elbow from
the mantelpiece and glanced at
Mrs. Smith.
I'm the circumstances, Mill
cent" he said calmly, cit would
perhaps be wiser for me to leave
you. Jacqueline is obviously very
much overweight and hysterical,
and as my presence seems to ex-
cite her. :"

"Stay where you are, Colonel,
please" She turned to Jacqueline.
"You have behaved outrageously,
Jacqueline. Bursting into the room
like that and insulting the Colonel

will apologize to Colonel Lut-
man. ;"
I'll apologize for nothing,
mother" said Jacqueline more
calmly. when you've heard all 1
have to say. :"
IF you've nothing better to say
than the wicked things you have
been saying, you had better be
silent. Something has evidently
happened to upset you, and I'm
sure both the Colonel and are
willing to make allowances. But
you really must try to control
yourself and tell us calmly what
is the matter"
"All right, mother, I'll try to be
calm." said Jacqueline. Colonel
Lutman has asked you to marry
him, has he? And has he asked
you to sign a deed like the one [

for some moments in the dark
passage. Now what? She didn't
know, and quite suddenly she didn't
seem to care. She felt weak and
faint, her hand was throbbing
abominably, and all that mattered
for the moment was that she
should find something to which she
could cling and prevent herself
from falling. She leaned against
the door, pressing hand against
her forehead and closing her eyes,
struggling to regain control of
herself. And as she did so she
heard quick step in the passage,

sound Of a match being struck,

opening the safe, produced bottle
of whiskey and glass. He poured
out stiff tot and handed it to her.

handed it back to him.

She nodded.

But suppose the President has to

Already, the merchant community of
Hong Kong is beginning to protest
that 1t must live, that 1t cannot suffer

1t must live by its wits, which means
an ear-bending to the japanese suQ-

could do very we'll indeed as a supply
base for Japan-particularly after the
