the persent safety campaign here, he pointed out.
 Arrests must be made of Lose who do not heed warnings and coyl- yictions must be obtained to demorl- strate that those who do not obey the laws will be punished, MT. Teal declared. Failure to get convictions will not help the camapign, he added. He explained the campaign here IS based on education, enfoimemcnt and engineering, with various engi- neering steps discussed at meetings of the committee in charge, the edu. cation program under the direction of School Superintendent Harold E. Chittenden, and enforcement under the direction of Warden John J. Sheridan.
 Children receive safety education in schools are, for the most part care- full, but 1t is the adult group which needs the safety education as this group Is the one which casualties most affect. Pedestrians should also understand the problems Of the motorists, MT. Teal said.
 There were two fatal accident! here in 1897 and two in 1898. There was one fatal accident here in tht first six months of this year. Int National Safety Council estimates there are on an average 35 persona injuries and 150 cases of propert. damage for each fatal accident, MI Teal explained.
 So 1t may be seen that the acci dents are expensive. He declare' g safety campaign is primarily program of advertising to teach saf living. Members of the club foun' his talk very interesting.

Salipa got six cases of beer on the day in question, not two of which he had secured. Atty. Talbot objected to admission of this evidence on the grounds there was no proof 1t came from his client and that 1t would prejudice the court. Judge Neary said he did not believe Salipa made the phone call because Salipa can- not talk English.

Damaso Salipa of South Main street, arrested testimony in whose case was heard last week, was found guilty of violation of the liquor con- trol act and fined $50 and costs of $ll.26. Execution of sentence was suspended until August IA because salipa is well back in his rent.

NELSON URGES
SPRING CHECK

Whatever the make, model or
age of motor car, it should be
given spring housekeeping, &C.
cording to Les Nelson, service
manager of the Steven Motor COM
pany, Tacoma Chrysler dealer. For
the benefit Of motorists who want
to get the maximum of satisfac-
ton from their cars when the
weather turns warmer. Nelson has
compiled a list of suggestions for
an inexpensive but complete spring
conditioning.
First of all. As soon as local
weather conditions have re-
moved all danger of freezing,
the radiator cover, If one has
been used, should be discarded.
The anti-freeze mixture should
he removed and the radiator
drained and reverse flushed to
remove all sediment and rust.
Radiator hose and connections
should he inspected and con-
nections frightened If neces-
sary. Fan belt should he
checked and adjusted to the
proper tension.
Winter lubricants should be
drained from engine, transmission
and rear axle and the proper
grades for warm weather driving
substituted. The engine should be
tuned TO insure maximum per-
Torrance coupled with economy.
To insure handling. ease and
safety, steering gear front
axle controls should be in
spected and properly adjusted
and fabricated. Front-end
alignment of axle and wheels
should be checked for toe-in,
Gambler and caster.
Brake check-up should include
correct pedal to toe-board clear
snce and the condition of brake
lining and clearance in the brake
drum. In case the lining is worn
and the drum scored, lining should
be replaced and drum trued up.
Brake shoes should be adjusted
accurately during this check-up.
The electrical system may cause
ANNOYANCE after the car mas been
through a hard winter. this should
be checked very carefully. Wiring
should be inspected TO make sure
that connections are tight and
clean and that there is no damage
to the insulation. The condition OF
the battery terminals is highly inn
portant. II the battery has been
in service for a number OF months
or has been neglected, Il should De
cleaned and refilled with proper
solution and then charged. Head
lamps should be checked for their
aim and focus.
Tires, which have probably
taken q hard beating during
the winter, should he checked
for possible bruises and cuts.
II these are found. the car
should he taken TO eompe-
tent tire repair shop for the
work that may he necessary
70 restore them tn thor
aughly safe and seryiceable
condition.
Nelson also suggests that Il is
good plan 10 carry spare hght
bulbs. spark plugs and fuses in the
car. These articles are inexpensive
and having them handy sometimes
saves a lot Of trouble. Further
more. the motorist who Is going
70 do any country driving should
De sure that his jack and tire
wrench are IN working order.

Young Vancouver Sets Pace on the Pacific
eAAAAAAAnnA>ea4.Aa>As

THE intrepid explorer, Capt. X George Vancouver, first saw the site for the city which today bears his name when he entered its beautiful harbor in the late years of the 18th century. But hardly could he have visualized the metropolis that was one day to rise as his monument. Van- couver itself, for that matter, scarcely saw its full future when it had it's corporate beginning back in 1886. In 1901 it was only 29,432 in population. Today it numbers roughly 250,000.
 This humming modern city Is really. Canada's gateway to the Orient. Through its exceptional port pass Canadian wheat, flour, copper, lead, zinc, paper, pulp, lumber, sealskins, canned and salt fish. Vancouver's grain elevators could accommodate the whole wheat crop of Alberta at one time. Such is the gauge of this ports facilities.
 But Vancouver is not merely a shipping point. It is important for its metal foundries, shingle, saw. paper and pulp mills, for its sugar refineries, clothing and food factories and for its shipbuilding. It is, moreover, British Columbia's largest city and therefore its axis of trade at the end of the trans- continental railways.
 Its harbor is one of the most beautiful in the world. Across the harbor from Vancouver is Vic- toria, the capital of the province. The harbor is shown above on a current Canadian stamp, one of :, four pictorials portraying the his- tory and significance of the Dominion. Copyright. 1889. NEA Service. Incl

 She left her chair and moved to Hope and Sherry.
 Gentlemen" she resumed, quite formally, T want you to meet my charming friend, Don Luis Barro. Don Luis, this is MT. Starr and MT. = Mir I am 50 sorry, your name has slipped me, sir?" Hope and Sherry had been poised like taut springs! Or like partners crouched, ready to bounce on an enemy. In one flashing mo- ton they could have attacked, in unison. They had recognized Luis Barro instantly, a moment before he saw them. Luis Barro, the man they wanted most in the world to put in jail. Or, if necessary, to see dead.
 "K-Kildare!" stammered Hope, acting, for Betty Mary. "Kildare." |" Sherry caught his cue shade quicker. He had sense enough to stand up and bow at Barro, but Hope was just glaring.

Please go ahead and order our meal, Don Luis; I can stop and eat always, ha hal"
 She kept jabbering on gaily. Hope and Sherry swallowed hard. wearing expressions that suggested doom was about to strike. But Don Luis Barro, eyes narrowed, began to relax in a delighted smile Obviously he was thor oughly enjoying the situation.

BANKING SYSTEM
 DEBATED TONIGHT
Outstanding Authorities to Discuss Question of Far-
 Reaching Significance

Two outstanding authorities on money and banking will discuss the issue of money reform at the New England town meeting tonight in the Boston City club.
 Professor Walter E. Spahr, of the department of economies of New York university, well known for his many appearances before congress sional hearings on behalf of Wall street, will speak in opposition to the question: Does our money sys- tenn need changlng?". Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale university, advocate with former Senator Rob- ert l.. Owen of severe constitutional changes in our banking and credit system, particularly in the regula- tory powers of the federal reserve board, will speak in favor of chang ing the existing system on money powers and control within the United States.
 Within the framework of our in- dustrial and business system of free enterprise, the problem of money and the proper methods of its is- suance and control, acts as con- stant irritant against easy solutions of the mapor problems confronting both capital and labor during these days of economis depression.
 Recent utterances by Mariner Eccles, chairman of the federal gov- ernment, and of the need of mapor changes within the SEC, before any stability can be achieved in pres ent plans to bring an end to dan- gerous manipulation of credit and banking procedure, indicates to New England people that the money problem is actually at the root of our entire economic upheavel.
 Open to the public without charge, the New England town meeting opens its forum for discussion at 8 o'clock, to have half an hour de- bate by the assembled audience be- fore starting its broadcast at 8:3O D. m. This is an opportunity for those interested in better under standing of our economic and social problems to take active part in the town meeting. The program is broadcast for one hour, from 8:30 to 9.3O D. m. over WAAB in Boston and the Colonial network through out New England. Leonard Cronk- hite will be moredator of the radio forum.

CHAPTER XII

] Young Messrs. Sheridan Starr end Hope Kildare, pals and fellow officers in the United States Border Patrol, theoretically were to have gone to bed by Il o'clock this night, gotten a good sleep and reported for further official duty next morning. Actually they did nothing of the sort.
 They trailed Betty Mary in- stead in their car until her taxi crossed the international bridge into Mexico. Then they just rode around glumly for a while, saying little.
 At midnight they pulled up at the U 6 Cafe, stalked in and or dered huge slabs of apple raisin pie and plenty of black coffee. Having eaten, they thumped their stiff hats back on their heads, stalked back out to their car, sep- arated and went home.
 Normally they would have met at the office next morning at o'clock. Next day, however, they walked in before 2, not 10 min- utes apart.
 Coffee musta kept me awake" Sheridan apologized, which both men knew wasn't so.
 Me too," agreed Hope. Hardly got good cat nap"
 They pretended all morning to be writing reports. Four times they asked the office secretary if any telephone calls had come for them.
 Wouldn't I have called you if they had?" she asked at last, sen- sibly. T know you were in the building"
 At noon the two men walked outside and stared up at the tall steel tower that rises, needle-like, 120 feet above the bank of the Rio Grande. Another border pa- trolman was up there in the tiny crows nest, watching with strong field glasses to see anyone who might try to wade the river in daytime. He commanded a view for many miles, and could tele- phcue down the information If he saw aliens crossing. Radio would then pass it on to cruising patrol cars. Officer Barton was Up there now. Alert, he. saw Hope and Sherry, leaned out to wave at them, comradely.
 "5ee anything? Over there?" Sheridan shouted up.
 NO. What'd you expect? A revolution?"
 Nuts, Sherry growled. Come on, Hope. Let's go somewhere. |"
 "Where?" asked Hope.
 T dunno"
 They bluffed around until 6 D. m, changed out of their uniforms, then ate supper together and still
