Night Driving. !
Very Hazardous
Records Show

driving at night is approx
imately three times more danger
Gus than ordinary daylight driv-
ing, Stephen James, Chairman of
the Montgomery County Safety
Board, said today in emphasizing
the Importance of the Safety
Boards current traffic safety edu-
cation program.
There are many drivers who
will argue to the contrary, he
said. "But figures from the Ma
tional Safety Council prove this
statement. The fact is that any
driver venturing out after dark has
only one-third the chance of getting
home alive that a driver has taking
the same. trip during daylight
hours. t~sa.s,
These figures, Mr. James said,
are based on studies indicating that
better than so per cent of the ma
tion's traffic. fatalities occur at
night although only about 81 per
cent of the actual driving is done
then. 'f2'a it~ s.f - 5t'
T"Therehief causes of night traf-
fic accidents" he said, "are reduc-
ed visibility, excessive speed, fati-
que, drinking drivers, and failure
by pedestrians to realize how in
visible they are to the driver"
Mr.. James suggested that!
1. Drivers lower their speed at
night.
2. DIVERS use extra caution dur
ing HOURS Of darkness.
3. Pedestrians walk on the left
side of highways facing traffic and
carry or wear something white, al
night.
4. Both drivers and pedestrians
remember that drinking and both
driving and walking in traffic
don't mix.
5. Drivers ALWAYS dim theil
lights on the approach of another
car to avoid binding the driver Of
the oncoming car.

PLAY BROOKLYN CUBANS AT
NIcOLLET PARK MITE JUNE IS

Baseball's crack Harlem Globe
trotters and the potent Brooklyn
Cuban Giants, two Of the nations
best Negro novelty travelling mines,
win meet in a showdown game at
Nicollet Park, Thursday night,
June Is, at 8:15.
Ed Hannah, the well known
clown of sports circles, who made
a hit with his clever buffoonery
and trick ball handling at the
worlds series in Cleveland in 1913,
also will do his stuff in his inimit-
able manner.
The Globetrotters have all the
stars back from last years team,
which won 100 games while losing
only 10.
Their pitchers include Johnny
Williams, Joe Bankhead, Lyman
Ramsey, Mike Berry and Frank
Carswell. Manager Paul Hardy
and Eugene divide the catching
chores.
Herb Simpson on first, Jim
Fishback at second, Jesse Will
Hams at third and Parnell Woods,
last year with Oakland in the Pa
cific Coast League, round out a
superb infield corps. The starting
trio in the outfield is strong Of
fensively and defensively with
Som Wheeler, Sonny Smith and
Zell Miles, the home run clouter.
Brooklyn is travelling one of its
strongest teams in years. Mana
ger Brady Johnson has both
American and Cuban Negro top
notchers. Particular apple of his
eye is Clemente Verona, the young
flashy shortstop from Havana.
He is "a and plenty talented.
Early Bird" Ellison, clowning
catcher, is another favorite with
the Flatfush brigade.
For fast action and a good show,
the game promises to provide a
pleasant evening for the fans.
