SAFETY
LANE POPULAR

Getting ones car in shape 10
pass the state inspection seems 10
be one Of the most popular indoor
sports these days because it's one
of those must" orders from
which none of US may escape.
In other words, when our num-
Der is called. there's nothing to do
but answer here" and the
old bus better be right or else.
And so, Tacoma automotive ser
vice stations have been very busy
these days correcting faulty lights,
bad brakes, improper wheel align
ment and the other factors which
are given the once-over' by the
boys in blue
One of the busiest and most
modernly equipped stations in the
city is the new one recently opened
under the name of "Eddy's Safety
Lane Correction Station" That's
quite a name but so is the station.
In fact, if there is anything known
to science to do safety checking
the sure way which is not to be
found at the safety headquarters
at 1907 So. Tacoma way, no one in
these parts has ever heard of it.
Eddy's safety station is practi-
cally identical with that operated
by the state, except that he is
also equipped to make the neces-
safy corrections so that Gus

spection.

Dodge Truck Is Blazing Trail
Over Pan American Highway

Reminiscent of the trail blazing
trip of a Dodge truck through
Canada and the Northwest rom
Matanuska, Alaska, to New York,
a new Dodge trail blazing feat
from New York to Lima, Peru,
has been undertaken.
The 14,0OO-mile goodwill tour
through Latin America, over roads
that soar as high as 10000 feet
in the Andes was announced here
by Dan l.. Beck, Dodge regional
manager. The 1 y ton truck will
be driven by Edison A. Smith,
worlds champion driver, from
Detroit.
Principal purposes of the trip
are to demonstrate the. depend
ability and economy of Dodge
trucks and to emphasize the i'm
portance of completing Pan
American highway to join the
Americas in commercial trans
portation. Such a connecting link
would open new trade markets.
Peru long has had a progressive
program in respect to highway
building The tour to Peru is a
tribute to the highway plan of
President Benavides, whose gov
eminent is spending one-sixth of
its budget on highway improve
ments and will call attention to
the miles of good highways in
Peru.
