In Auto Driving.

Rules for safety in driving are many,
but here are few more good ones,
Brakes should be applied gently, be-
cause when sudden application locks
the wheels, the tires have less grip on
the pavement than when they are
turning against firmly applied but not
locked brakes. Skidding is affected by
types of road surface, speed, amount
OF moisture on the road. dust film and
even filler used between bricks or ma
terial used between joints and other
type pavements. On wet pavements,
as speed increases, friction between
tires and road decreases, and so does
tire traction. The sole function of a
tread in reducing skidding on wet
pavement is to wipe the pavement dry
so the rubber in contact with the road
can get its best grip.

They are not the only long dis

Nuremburg on foot, including contin-
gents from SaXony and Bavaria.
But the bulk of the SA men, some

trians, will come here in special trains.
Another outstanding group will be
the 100000 political organizers dis
tributed over the entire country.
Among them will be 10000 Austrians.
These organizers are the party wheel
horses who do the daily work. Upon
them. more than upon anybody else,
Hitler relies for perpetuating his ideas.
There always are more OF them in
vited to the party rally than of any
other group.
Organizers Rope of Streets.
Also. while the other formations
SA, SIS Tor elite guard, labor service,
motor corps. Hitler youth, and even
the army-are brought to Nuremberg
or the vicinity only the day before
they march past Hitler or cheer him
in one of the gigantic demonstrations
and then are moved out again that
night. the political organizers are
given the task OF roping of the
streets through which Hitler passes.
That means that they can stay for
most Of the convention.
To house all these contingents, q
tent cities have been erected in the
vicinity OF Nuremberg. More than
$500 huge tents have been manufac-
tured to house 346,0 900 persons in these
communities.
The remainder of the 10000 Off

Vention meetings will be housed in

TOO MUCH SPECIAL
TRAINING FEARED
Government Career Specialization
Is Subject of Report of
Brookings Institution.

The Brookings Institution last night
suggested that American universities
might be putting too much stress on
special training for careers in Gov
eminent.
A report by Dr. Lewis Merriam
pointed out that positions in the Gov
eminent paying substantial salaries
are relatively few compared with the
large number of university students,
who may be led to devoting years in
preparation for filling them.
DR.. Merriam made the study as a
result OF the many proposals put
forward recently for a separate ad-
ministrative career service within the
National Government, somewhat on
the order of the British civil service
In this country, he concluded, the
greater diversity of college and uni
versity curricula, compared with those
IN England. as well as the adversion
to an administrative caste" would
make difficult the establishment and
operation OF a similar system.
