EPSON Downs

EPSON Downs comprises 387
acres near the town Of EPSON, Sur
rey, IS miles southwest Of London.
It is said that horse races were run
there as early as the reign Of James
! (l603-l625). but they were not held
regularly until 1880. Grandstands
we're first erected in 1929. The prin-
cipal races run are the Derby" and
the "Oaks." In 1880, the twelfth
earl Of Derby originated a race for
three-year-olds. and it was referred
to as the EPSON Derby" after the
town where it is held and the man
who originated it. 1t is still known
officially by that title. but the world
knows it better as the English Der

furlongs (one-half mile) and 29
yards. From the starting point the
ground rises about 1874 feet in less
than a mile and before the slight
rise at the finish it drops about 100
feet.

Tons of Oils and Fats
Used to Make Our Soap

In large soap factories, tons of
oils and fats and caustic soda are
used every day. But 1t was not
many years ago when every home
made its own supply of soap. Fats
from meats were saved and the
ashes from the wood stove were
kept dry in a barrel for soap max
ing. Our grandmothers boiled the
meat fats, and washed the ashes
with water and strained them till
the liquid was clear and yet con-
tanned enough potash to make soap.
Then the oils and pure fats were
mixed with the potash from the
ashes, and cooked into white soap.
The same process is used in fac
tories, only on a large scale. In
stead of using fat from animals. re-
lates a writer in the Washington
Star. great deal of toilet soap is
made from fatty plants like COCO
nut, olive and cottonseed oils. First,
the pure oil is put in huge vat and
heated. Then cold soda-lye is add
ed, and as the lye changes the fats
into soap, more is added till all the
fat and oil is used up.
The soap is lighter than the other
stuff in the vat and floats on the
surface 1t is drawn off to be made
into bars and to be treated and re-
fined into toilet soap, washing pow
ders, or liquid soap.
Toilet soap is usually the best
grade, although it is often made by
a very simple process from coconut,
castor or palm oil and concentrated
caustic acid.

Road Builders Plan Safer Roads

More roads, better roads and SAT-
er roads. That was the keynote of
the Convention and Road Show of
the American Road Builders As
socaition which I recently attend
ed in Cleveland
For thirty-five years members of
the highway profession and indus
try have annually met to consider
problems which are vital not only
to us who build the nations roads
but to all of you who drive over
them and who pay taxes for their
construction and maintenance. This
years conclave was the largest and
most successful in the history of
the association. Registration had
passed the 26,0O0 mark at the con-
clusion of the fifth day. Represen-
tatives of thirty-three foreign coun-
tries attended in large numbers.
Exhibits of road-building materials
and machinery worth S10,000,0OO
occupied six and one-half acres of
floor space in the huge Cleveland
public auditorium and $4,000
worth Of equipment was sold dur
ing the show. All these are indi-
cations that 1888 is going to be
banner year for road building.
Subjects discussed during the
convention sessions are of the ut
most Importance to every Ameri-
can. Deaths in automobile acci-
dents mounted to 10000 during the
past twelve months and are stead
lily increasing. Defective highways
must assume large share of the
blame for most of these accidents.
During the convention, the leading
safety experts of the nation discus
sed traffic accident causes and for
mulated a program for their elm
ination.
Highway financing, subject
closely related to highway safety,
was also carefully considered. You
motorists are contributing more
than a billion dollars each year to
state and federal governments. In
return you expect the roads to be
kept in such a condition that driv-
ing will be safe and enjoyable. You
have right to expect this, for the
money collected from taxes on
highway users is sufficient to carry
out the program devised by our
road-building engineers. It is not
sufficient, however, if large por-
tion of it is diverted to non-high-
way purposes. The goal of safe
can never be achieved if
federal-aid appropriations for high
ways are curtailed.
This goal can be achieved and
the toll Of highway accident fatal
tiles can be decreased if the gen
eral public joins in the pledge made
last week by 26,OO0 road builders:
To work for the continuation of an
adequate highway program, to
build safety into all our highways,
to construct roads to accommodate
increased traffic demands, to pro
hibit the diversion of motor-vehicle
revenue, to lift rural America out
Of the mud.

SIDE LIGHTS OF
NEW YORK CITY
Told By L. L. Stevenson in
His Own Immical Way
of DOings in City
INTERESTING SKETCHES

James Leftwich, a WPA worker,
is a different kind Of New Yorker.
For birthday celebration, he took
his best girl to one of those big
dine, dance and see-a-show places.
That doesn't lift him out of the av-
erage clasS-many New Workers do
the same thing. To continue: Left
Wich budgeted his expedition care
fully. Advertisements stated there
was no cover charge, but for each
person a minimum Of $3.50 was ex-
pected So Leftwich figured the cost
of food and drink that wouldn't
exceed five bucks. He also allowed
a dollar tip for the waiter, and with
Sc in the treasury, entered the cab
aret. After he had been seated,
he was informed that there was a
location charge" Of so cents a per-
son for that particular table. Since
the extra complicated matters, he
asked about tables without ''loca-
ton charges and was informed
there were none available. The up
shot was that Leftwich and his girl
friend dined and drank and the
waiter didn't get tipped.
Now here is what sets Leftwich
apart from his fellow citizens. New
Workers who have encountered hid
den surtaxes sometimes kick a bit.
Mostly they have grumbled and
paid up. But Leftwich didn't act
like that. He made a complaint
to the police department. The de-
partment was interested and called
on the owners to show cause why
the license of the place shouldn't be
revoked because regulations had
been violated. There was a hearing
and the cabaret owners succeeded
in showing that the location
charge" wasn't violation despite
the fact that it hadn't been men
toned in the advertising Never
theless, Leftwich came out of the
affair with some satisfaction.
As result Of the hearing, the
regulations have been completely
rewritten. Cabarets that advertise
must set forth the various charges
that a guest will encounter. Also
they must post them at the en-
frances to their places and an
nounce them on table cards. Fur
thermore, the news must be broken
orally to the patron Immediately on
arrival. And thus Leftwich not only
proved himself different but brought
about protection for the stay-out-
lates of the big town.
The meekness of the New Yorker |
isn't confined merely to enduring |
gypping without doing anything
about it. The other afternoon in the

company, is d professional man
whose income tax is far larger than

Chevrolet's new car and truck
sales reached 51,047 units In July,
exceeding the June total by 5,423
units or 111.9% Of June sales, and
setting an unusual sales record, by
reversing the normal market trend.
The announcement was made by
w. e. Holler, general sales manager,
who reported the greatest used car
stock reduction ever achieved by
Chevrolet dealers In single month.
Records show that in only two
previous years have Chevrolet's July
new car and truck sales passed the
June mark. The shattering Of this
long-standing precedent Mr.. Holler
credited mainly to two things: FIRST
the countrywide BEAT Your June
Sales" campaign staged by Chevro-
let in July, and the second, an ap-
parent improvement in general bus
mess conditions.
The campaign was conceived In
June as a means Of offsetting the
slack period which has followed that
month in every year except 1929
and 1887. The company's entire
field force was organized la advances.
enlisted in sales contest, and pro-
vided with promotional material to
facilitate its selling job. A country
wide advertising campaign was plac-
ed in newspapers throughout the
country to back up the sales effort.
The first 10 days sales report
showed 1904 units moved at re-
tail in that period. The second 10
days were even better, 1854 units
being sold. Third 10 days, with a.
1870, carried the drive over the top.
The used car sales I'm July reached
a grand total of 1858 units. The
used car stock reduction amounted
to 28,185 units. The remarkable
thing about such q reduction, he
pointed out, was that 1t was accom-
plished in the face Of increased new
car sales. Since it involves trade-ins
of used cars, new business tends to
keep used car stocks high.
1.-THE real Importance. Of the used
car stock reduction" Mr.. Holler
said, lis that it places our dealer
organization in q most favorable posi-
ton to go out and increase its lead
ership ON new cars and trucks.

TEN SAFETY RULES FOR BIZ
CYCLE RIDERS

Ten safety rules for bicycle riders
have been compiled by the Public
Safety Department of the Keystone
Automobile Club in response to de-
mand for regulated bike" opera
ton. The club stresses the import
ance of traffic law observance by
cyclists, pointed out that the rules
apply with equal force to all We
hicles, whether motor-driven or self
propelled.
Under present conditions" said
George e. Keneipp, Manager Of the
Club, bicycle riding Is bound to be
attended by serious hazards. These,
however, can be minimized by strict
adherence to common-sense safety
rules. We have compiled the follow
ing suggestions with view to re-
ducing the accident toll which has
risen in ratio to increased use Of
bicycles: T., i.I..i~6
81. Obey all traffic signals, signs
and rules. Observance Of stop signs
is important, because motorists ON
through streets are unprepared for
sudden appearance Of bicycles from
side streets or highways.
"2. Ride in single file. There IL
grave danger when groups Of cycliats
ride three or four abreast on heavily
travelled roads.
"3. Keep out Of car tracks and
ruts. Numerous accidents are due to
riders being thrown from bikes In
front of oncoming traffic.
"A. Don't do stunts or race In
traffic.
SO. Don't carry a passenger or
permit children on roller skates to
hang on for q ride.
| IS. Always signal intention to
make right or left turns.
"7. Make repairs of the travelled
protion of the roadway.
IS. Walk the bike across heavy,
traffic unless it is controlled by Of
fcer or traffic light.
80. Don't hitch rides on trucks
or other vehicles.
40. Always keep brakes and front
and rear lights in good operating
condition"
