1t isn't the reputation you gained for
safe driving last year or last week that
counts, it's your driving today-right
now-that makes safety records.
Safety precautions must be observed
every minute; they must be eternal
They cannot be exercised at a few in
tersections or on certain hills; they
must be kept up all the time you are
behind the wheel.
The fact that you know the curves
in a road or are familiar with its vari-
Gus hazards is a very poor excuse for
violating all safety precautions.
Be safe all the time. The one time
you neglect to be safe may be the time
you will have very serious accident.

VEHICLE MOVES
BY AIR AND SEA
Russian Inventor Says He
Has a Machine TO Travel
All Ways
TAKES ANY SPEED

LONDON.-Capt. Victor D.bov-
sky, pioneer Russian fiier Of prcWar
days, has invented a machine which
he says will travel at a knots ii
water, 60 miles an hour on the road
and fly 120 miles an hour. Mai G..
c. Turner. Daily Telegraph and
Morning Post air correspondent re-
ports.
It is described as a three-wheeled
vehicle on land. a motorboat at sea
and helicopter. or direct-lift fly
ing machine.
If the promises Of Dibovsky' 5
three-way vehicle are fulfilled, Tur-
ner reports, it viii give the world a
machine only 1872 feet long, which
could take off from the deck Of a
submarine, or any other kind Of war
ship, without need Of a flying deck.
and which could alight on any Of
these craft or, if necessary, along
side. It could travel along a road
and take off without a forward run
The wheels are driven directly by
the motor, which is a rotary set in
the fiat position in the body Of the
machine. When it is desired to fly
the wheels are uncIutched, and the
lifting vanes on top Of the machine
are put into action. This lifting
apparatus consists Of two horizon
tally rotating two-bladed vanes ro-
tating in opposite directions on a
vertical shaft.
The machine is designed TO travel
forward or backward Horizontal
motion is provided by the propeller.
which consists Of two two-bladed air
screws rotating in opposite direc-
tions on horizontal shaft.
The all-on weight of the machine,
with so pounds Of fuel and $50
pounds for the pilot, would be about
$50 pounds. It is said that, in ad-
dition it would carry another $50
pounds.

FARM FIRE NEAR
COLLINS BEACH

The barn and stable on the farm
of John p. Collins occupied by his
son, near Collins Beach, was burn
ed down on Thursday evening
about nine o'clock, together with
500 bushels of oats 25 tons of hay
and some other things involving a
loss of S2500. Mr. Collins had an
insurance of 5000 on the building
in the Kent County Mutual The
building was 80 by so feet and
built of unusually heavy timbers.
No one was home but Mr. Collins
and his wife, the three hands hav-
ing gone to the Fair that day and
did not get home until after the
buildings were in flames, and he
had not been in it since four
O'Clock in the afternoon, and then
to put some blades away. The
granary was saved only because
the roofs were wet from the show
er that had fallen a short time be-
fore. They were covered with
cinders. The burning barn made
an unusually bright light, being
observed by his son at Newark,
and by pilot Truax Of the steamer
Tygert while in the river above
Wilmington. The unusual illumin-
alton arose from the fact that it
was constructed of very heavy
timbers. 1t was built by John
VanGasken when a young man in
the carpentering business, in 1852.

gists, the rock layers are part OF
code, each layer representing an
age through which the earth passed.
The rocks within the area, now
crurnpled and folded, were traced
back to the Permian age.
Locating the shoreline of the lost
continent in northwestern Mexico
by studying the rock layers on the
sides of the gulleys, canyons, and
gulches cut by erosion is the prln-
cipal object of Doctor Imlay's 10
week expedition. He will concen-
trate his research over an area OF
5000 square miles in Sonora be-
tween Caborca and Altar on the
west and the eastern boundary of
Sonora on the east where it is be-
lieved the shoreline of the lost con-
tinent will be found.
In mapping the outlines of the
continent, geologists have placed
the shoreline boundary as approx
imately extending east along north
ern Sonora and slightly north to a
point rs miles southeast Of Ell Paso,
Texas, within the United States.
From this point it is definitely
known that the line turns sharply
southwark across the Rio Grande
and through the eastern part of the
state of Chihuahua before extending
southeast through the state of Du-
range where bandits held up and
robbed the first expedition to the
area in 1888. At that time a geolo-
gist was slightly wounded and cost
ly scientific equipment stolen.
Trace ShoreIine.
The continental shoreEne executes
an about-face in the state of Goa
hula at the point of the bears toe
and continues northward into north
western Coahuila. In turning again
to the southeast, the shoreline forms
a leaning inverted ''V," the right
arm of the ''V'' stopping near the
border of the state of Nuevo Leon.
Although these studies have no
direct economic application, says
Doctor Inlay, they are Of interest
to both petroleum and mining geol-
ogists, because of their regional
scope and bearing on the nature and
reflection in everything strata of
continental margin, and their pos
sible contribution to knowledge Of
the factors which control ore de-
position.
In geologic exploration for
petroleum, the present trend is
toward search for buried shore
lines. In southern CoahuiIa erosion
has exposed an old shoreline. This
can be examined on the surface
over broad area and its relation
to the structure of the enclosing
rocks can be seen. It's projection
to the northeast beneath everything
strata. may well lead to dis
closure Of a reservoir in areas
where source beds of petroleum in
terfnger with. or overlie. the shore
face.
In ore prospecting. knowledge of
horizons in which ore deposition
commonly occurs may be Of prime
Importance. If naturalization has
been found to be limited to one or
two horizons in the photographic
column, accurate mapping Of the
area will narrow the belt to be in
tensely prospected.

IN NORTHERN MEXICO

NEW YORK.-Discovery of "a
lost continent in northern Mexico
is reported to the Geological Soci-

explained, was buried 100000
years ago beneath the sediments of
an ancient sea. Indications have
also been found Of lost ocean
which separated North and South
America during the same age.
Evidence Of the missing land and
sea has been uncovered by DR..

sor of geology at the University Of

University of Michigan. Their
studies will be completed this sum-
mer in the state Of Sonora in north

who has just been awarded a grant

AS remapped by geologists, the
continent has the shape of bears
paw which points east and projects
$50 miles from the southern border
Of Texas into an ocean which lay
