What Arizonans know and
tourists find out is that the state

trasting beauty spots. It's colorful
canyons perhaps are better known
thar it's purple mountain ranges;
it's desert more revered than its
many historic landmarks. But Ari

tains, desert and historic land
marks.
"s,ee Arizona" - all of it, That's
the theme of a state wide plan
just started by Standard Oil Co.
OF California, one of the pioneer
petroleum oil distributors in Ari
zCna. Under this plan, according
to Q. w. Turner of Phoenix. the
con Dany's district manager Stand

pictures of principal Arizona beauty
spots and landmarks.
"lJot only visitors but also Ari
zonans themselves constantly are

Arizona spots" said Turner.
"St ndard shares that feeling and
has gathered a series of pictures
which it wishes to put into the
hands of anyone and everyone who
des res them. Literally hundreds
of natural color photographs by
am teurs and profess ionals were
exa mined, all of them new and On

/ ARIZONA residents will want a
coraplete collection of these full
color art prints, and many visitors
to this state desire some visual
evidence to take home with them
perpetuating the wonders they
saw while here. Therefore, we ex
pect this picture series to stimulate
tourist travel throughout our state.
Sta ldard Oil is glad to give this
impetus to promoting tourist busi
ness in Arizona; and glad, too, to
furnish a new and most attractive
pictorial record of Arizona scenes.
when Arizonans see them and
rea ize how carefully collected

has been reproduced, it is likely
Standard Stations and Standard
Oil Dealers may distribute nearly
half million of these full color

THE NEW SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
Chapter II
How Changes I'm the Law Will Bene.
fit Older Workers

OF particular interest, at this
time, are the changes In the Soc
ial Security Act which apply to
workers who are nearly IS and
those who have already reached the
age of IS. Under the amendments,
these are the men and women who
may receive annuities in the form
of old-age insurance benefits, pay
able January 1, 1910, and there
after.
A man or woman who has held
job in a factory, shop, mill, mine,
store, hotel, theater, or in other en-
ployment, covered by the Social
Security Act, and who has reached
IS, is entitled to file claim for pay
ment Of monthly old-age insurance
benefits, provided he has met a few
simple requirements.
During the first 2 ~ years of the
social security program, payment of
old-age insurance was made to the
insured worker who reached age IS
and filed claim for benefits. This
payment was in lump-sum and
amounted to 31s percent of all tax
able wages received by the claimant
after 1886 and before he reached
age IS. The check was often quite
small and in most cases did not
amount to as much as 500; so, of
course, it did not furnish any last
ing security.
Amendments to the Social Secur-
ity Act signed by the President on
August 10, 1899, provide that the
lump-sum payment to worker
reaching age IS should stop immed-
lately. Instead, the older worker
now has an opportunity to get
monthly benefit payments for life.
The amount of the check will de-
pend upon his wage earnings since
1886, but If he qualities it will
never be less than $40 per month.
Even if the older worker has al
ready received lump-sum payment
or has filed claim for such a pay
ment, he may file another claim for
monthly benefits. In case he has re-
ceived a lump-sum payment and
then qualities for monthly benefits,
the amount Of this lump-sum pay
ment will be deducted from his
monthly benefits, later on.

NEW SPAN. OVER G. 8 D. CANAL

- The new $1,50O,eO0 high-level
four-lane highway bridge over the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal at
st. Georges will be located approx
mately, 200 feet west of the former
bridge.
A contract for plans, awarded to
Parsons, Knapp, Brinckerhoff, and
Douglas, New York bridge engine
ers, has been signed. by Maj. c. w.
Burlin, U. S. district engineer.
Major Burlin said the new bridge
will skirt the west side of St.
Georges.
1t will be so placed, that the
curve at the north side OF St.
Georges just east of the Commodore
Macdonough School, will be eIimin-
ated.
On the south side, the highway
will curve from the south approach
to the east to rejoin the dual high
way below St. Gorges.
The plans will be ready for bid
der Within two to three months.

being scheduled for the first weeks
of November and December. Acct
dent statistics over period of
years, he said, indicated that the
last quarter of the year usually is
the worst from fatality standpoint,
and it was for this reason these
three weeks were set aside, during
of the State the seriousness Of the
traffic situation ON Maryland's
streets and highways.
Thomas P. Abbott, Baltimore
merchant, general chairman Of the
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee,
has issued call for meeting of
the Executive Committee to consid-
err the results achieved during Oct
ober Safety Week, and to plan even
more comprehensively for the OBJ
servance of November Safety Week,
November to z.
Results of this first week., Gov
ernor O'Conor asserted, were de-
cidedly beyond even our best hopes.
1t is a satisfaction, decidedly, to
think that we may have been at
least partly responsible for saving
five lives during the week. One
thing we can say with the utmost
certainty, is that we have impressed
upon great many people of our
State the distressing realization that
we have been, as a people, most
negligent in our attitude to acci-
dents an ddeaths from traffic, and
that this negative attitude must be
abandoned if we are to deserve the
title of reasoning human beings.
Zone most encouraging aspect OF
our efforts to cut down loss Of life
on Maryland roads,, he continued,
sis the splendid way the Counties,
almost without exception, have re-
sponded to the call. While the Mary
land Traffic Safety Commission has
been expanded somewhat. to more
than eighty members, each County
has, in addition, organized its own
subcommittee built around it's two
or more members ON the general
committee. In every instance, these
County groups Of ten to twenty have
included outstanding men and wo-
men, judges of the various circuits,
mayors, presidents of the leading
civic bodies and women's groups.
The result is, that the State now
has active in it's service combined
forces of approximately 500 Safety
minded persons, whose combined
and cumulative effort unQuestion-
ably will accomplish splendid results
in the matter of eliminating traffic
deaths.

THE NEW CHEVROLET

Three completely re-styled series
of Chevrolet passenger cars, COM
bining greater length and width
with much more massive appear
ence, and embodying many mechan-
ical refinements, made their formal
public bow Oct. IA at the National
Automobile Show and in Chevrolet
dealers salesrooms from coast to
coast. Overall length has been in
creased 43s inches, change which
makes new line outstanding for its
sickness and grace.
improvements, aside from styling,
in which sweeping charges are made,
include provision of Chevrolet's ex-
elusive vacuum power shift as reg
ular equipment on all models of all
three series, helical syncro-mesh
transmission with silent low and re-
verse as we'll as silent intermediate
and high, and numerous revisiOns
affecting safety, comfort, convent
ence, Performance, and long life.
Knee-action and shockless steering
are featured on the Special De Luxe
and Master De Luxe series, conven-
tional I-beam front axle with semi
elliptic springs and airplane type
shock absorbers being retained on
the Master IS.
In appearance, the 1910 Chevro-
let is new from bumper to bumper.
Bodies, tenders, hood, and frame are
completely re-designed, to embody
low-slung grace. These changes re-
suit also in increased stability, since
they lower the center of gravity of
the car as whole. Changes, except
for trim and extra equipment, are
the same on all three series.
Safety, as well as style, is served
by the new all-rubber-surfaced rum
ming boards with triple-peaked long
itudinal ribs which parallel the body
contours. The running boards term
mate just short of the rear tenders
for better drainage.
Above the running boards, the
body rises in an almost vertical
plane to the body belt, from which
line it tapers inward toward the
top. Slope of the windshield and
rear panel is even more pronounc-
ed, both these members being in
clined more sharply. The tempered
plate glass rear window, used in all
models except the new cabriolet, is
of curved section, to blend with the
side and rear contours of the body.
Windshields are of the new high test
safety plate, and safety plate glass
is used in all side windows and
yentipanes.
Bodies and larger, inside and out
and also more rigid. Seats are wild
er, and leg-room and head-room are
increased. Wider doors make for
easier ingress and egress. Numerous
interior refinements, which vary
among the three series, result in
luxury, comfort and convenience un-
matched in previous years models.
In the Special De Luxe series, these
items include an illuminated clock
recessed in the glove compartment
door, and a light within the COM
partment door, and light within
the compartment which turns on
automatically when the door is
opened, regardless of whether the
other car lights are on or off.
