Motor Farley Plans
To Cut Accident Toll
By Pub|icizing Cause'

Delegates to the Eastern Confer
ence of Motor Vehicle Administra-
tors will work to cut down auto
mobile accidents through a program
of acquainting the driving public
with the principal causes of traffic
disasters.
At the conference yesterday in
the Shoreham Hotel, the traffic ex-
perts agreed on the following main
causes of accidents:
Following too closely, failure to
yield the right of way, speeding,
failure to keep to the right. i'm
proper turns and mechanical
defects.
Drinking Big Factor.
The conference agreed also that
fatal accidents are caused chiefly
by excessive speed and driving
under the influence of alcohol.
The delegates felt that uniform
educational and enforcement meas
ures would be the means of suc-
cessful program of cutting down &C
cidents.
In other resolutions, the confer
ence:
Agreed on a program that would
allow for mandatory suspension for
at least a. year of a drivers license
If he is convicted of driving while
under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
Advocated a movement directed
toward requiring or influencing
States that have no standard
drivers license examination to
adopt such an examination.
Might Bar Drivers.
Decided that, unless such States
take these steps within a year, the
conference would consider denying
residents of those States driving
privileges within the Eastern con-
ference region.
Agreed to make known the i'm
portance of maintaining all motor
vehicles in safe condition.
Agreed to follow recommendations
made by the National Pedestrian
Committee, calling for all pedestri-
ans to comply with traffic control
regulations.
To Publicize Causes.
Traffic Director George Keneipp
of the District said traffic authori-
ties here would follow up the con-
ference by preparing list of the
leading causes of accidents once
month and publishing them.
AS for the conference recommen-
dation of one years suspension of
driving privileges for drunken
drivers, Mr.. Keneipp pointed out
the District law now provides a
minimum of six months He said
extending the period for year
would be matter of administrative
policy to be determined by the
Commissioners.

the prank of a sailor DESTROYS
of getting to Frederiksted, but
after conferences with Naval
officers that clue was elimin-
ated. Both himself and Ser
.geant Plaskett then picken up
the clues that led finally to
Newton.
Newton told the officers that
he took the pickup and in
stead Of driving uphill for
ward as that would necessi-
tate the starting up of the en-
CINE, rollod back and drove
through all the back streets
finally heading out Of town on
the northside road. At one
point the truck, evidently
at such a terrific speed, Jump
ed a ditch approximately s to
8 feet wide and nearly 5 feet
deep. During the wild ride the
truck is reported to have
struck and killed a horse, tore
down a bafbed wire fence and
ran about 20 feet into cult
waited land. Backing out the
driver continued through
Bethlehem and finally skidd-
ed into a coconut tree, where
it remained.
A gadget from the truck
fell off where it struck the
fence, supplying one of the
several clues discovered by
the Police Officers, another
was the soil on NeWton's shoes
which matched that where
the truck was abandoned.

New Door Lock
And Latch Respond
To Push and Pull
By .HiIson Munsey

Utilizing the natural principle Of
push and pull, q manufacturer has
designed q door lock and latch
which, while revolutionary In de-
sign and operation, Is simple In
principle and construction.
It will 1T all types and sizes Of
doors. It gives smooth action and
responds TO = push or Q pull OF
the finger tips or, In case Of emer-
gency, an elbow, knee or body pres
sure will open the door instantly
and safely. It can be easily and
quickly installed. Complete in
structions are included with each
door latch.
The interior working parts are
made of precision milled steel,
plated for protection against rua
and corrosion. Outside trim meas
urement is 3 1/16 inches by SA
inches high. The strike is 2 inches
high with A-inch tolerance for
the bolt.
Complete absence Of visible screws
on the exposed surface provides
maximum protection against pick
ing or forcing Of the latch or loos-
ening Of parts due to vibration.
Designed with an inside trip-type
lock for bedroom, bathroom and
other private doors without an in
side lock for interior and exterior
doors and for use with cylinder
locks for outside doors and all
interior doors, this door lock and
latch can be finished to specifica-
tions on request.

Housework
Con Be Mode.
Less Painful
By Betty TrexIer

Not many OF us. like to do house.
work. It's a nonotonous, thankless
job-but since there's no way out
of 1t unless we have help, we just
have to make the best Of it.
There are lots of ways to make
housework a little less painful. One
is to look around for some of the
really good household products on
the market.
Many housewives, for instance,
would never be without the new de-
tergent powders and liquids for
dishwashing once they've tried
them. With this type Of cleanser,
dishes, glassware, and even silver
ware don't need to be dried-though
we do favor at least drying silver
ware. Many of these detergents are
also wonderful for washing every
thing from the family car to the
finest linens. ...
And there are excellent rug sham
poos that do q superb job of re-
movingsspots and freshening up rugs
between the times the rugs are sent
out to a professional cleaner. Some
people clean their rugs entirely by
this "at-home" method, and never
have them professionally cleaned.
These shampoos work equally as
well on needlepoint and upholstered
furniture.
And let's not forget waxes-which
not only keep the furniture gleam-
ing and help to discourage marks
and other scratches, but save US
from having to dust so often.
Wakes are quite versatile. They
can be used on lamp shades, waste
paper baskets, trays, tinware, pic
ture frames, woodwork, doors, pew
ter, copper, brass, Venetian blinds,
bookcases, and even leather bound
books. 49,.
It's chore to keep silver spark
ling particularly pieces such as a
silver tea service which Is usually
kept outside the cupboard and
therefore furnishes easily when ex-
posed to the air.

Many students, agreed that in

One student was q home builder.
Many others worked In real estate

Question: Would it be advisable
to use deck canvas on a sun-deck
which also serves as porch and
entrance to a second-floor apart
ment? How should it be laid on a
wood floor? This flooring was
treated with creosote wood preserva-
tive before 1t was laid; consequently
paint peels of in no time.
I even gave it a coat of aluminium
paint to seal in the creosote, but 1t
also peeled, of. The flooring is be-
ginning to decay in places. Would
sheet aluminium be practical?
