Remodel Your i Ford Sedans and a few The subject of who had the right of way has been carried from the scene of many an accident to the highest courts of the land, attended by court costs, lawyers fees and other necessary expenses. Many of these highly expensive litigations could be avoided by observing the simple regulations governing the movement of traffic at intersecting streets and highways. When approaching an intersection the first rule of safety is to REDUCE SPEED. Then, if you contemplate a right hand turn, follow the procedure as illustrated by vehicle No. 1. Take the left hand traffic lane, signalling traffic of your intention to turn. When turning, keep as close to the curb lines as practicable. Always REMEMBER, pedestrians have the right of way at established street intersections if crossing on the cross walks. It is obvious that the driver of car No. 2 should not be permitted to operate-vehicle. Turning right from the left hand traffic lane, he not only endangers his own life, but is jeopordizing pedestrian figure 7, the operator of No. 3, and the occupants of car No. 4. If you are the type of driver who commits such careless acts, be. sure your insurance is paid up. Your widow and orphans may need it THE CAR ON THE RIGHT HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY EXCEPT ON ARTERIAL HIGHWAYS.

Shaped roughly like a huge boat, Zanzibar 'rides an anchor' twenty miles off the coast of British East Africa. It points its coral prow into the north. Its port side carries a cargo of tropical plants and trees; the starboard a mass of gray rock, some coral, and a few leopards, trying to feel at home in the scattered scrub growth. Life aboard is inoist for Europeans who drip with perspiration all year round, or become drenched by constant heavy Tom-tom- Ha-ru- rains. Clove Their Standby. The clove makes agriculture the islands industrial standby. Exten- sive groves of clove trees, with their shiny, evergreen leaves, cover almost half the island. The clove 'bush,' a tree from 30 to 40 feet high, smells better than it looks. Far from Zanzibar shores 10,000 tons of native cloves cleave foreign fruits and delicate meats. And coconuts, qlong with the hottest cqo- - . in the world, rice and many fruits, find ready markets at home and abroad. Maize, groundnuts, sesame, yams, and various kinds of beans also are widely cultivated and exported while enough tobacco is grown for home consumption. The coconut palm Is a prominent feature of Zanzibars rank tropical vegetation. Wealth on the island is often reckoned, especially, among the poorer classes, in coconut or clove trees; the value of an estate also depends somewhat upon the number of these trees it contains. Fishing employs many natives. and Great quantities of shell-fis- h clams are consumed, and particularly pleasing to the islanders palate is the cuttle fish or squid.

Constant wars in western Asia and valuable natural resources in East Africa led Arabs, Persians, from the and Indians Zanzibar-wa- y earliest times until the end of the Nineteenth century. As the island developed into the entrepot for East African trade, its gates were opened to representatives of many European countries, as well as cannibals from the Congo, Chinese and Japanese, Syrian Jews and Turks, Singhalese, Goanese, Baluchs, Egyptians, Nubians, and Ethiopians. The bulk of Zanzibars inhabitants, however, is a mixed race of negro stock the Swahili. Their skin runs the gamut of brown, depending upon the amount of Asiatic blood in their veins. Muhogo a starchy root of the cassava plant is bread to a Zanzibar native. There are two varieties: sweet, which is eaten raw; and bitter or poisonous which requires before it is fit for human consumption. The bitter kind is used largely for cattle fodder. Muhogo cultivation suits the black man's temperament, for it needs a minimum of attention. Being a tuber, neither birds nor locusts can injure it.

They were known as Menelmnes and numbers of them are said to exist to this day. They are playful pixies and are blamed for a lot of things which probably are not their fault at all. The Menehunes suffered at least one severe setback when they took to feuding with the owl god, Pueo, who lived in a temple at the head of Manca valley, beautiful Honolulu residential section. Pueo's "Hey Rube I call was a brisk beating of drums, and on one occasion when the Little People became too annoying he pounded his drums until the owls gathered in such numbers as to darken the sky and rout the Menehunes. Any Hawaiian will tell you that the Menehunes like to fish. The phosphorescent glow which can be seen in the ocean off Waialua any dark, clear night, they say, is only the Menehunes fishing with their tiny torches. Louisiana' Old Capitol Castle to Be Restored Baton Rouge, La. The scene of many a tumultuous and historic political eruption, the old capital of Louisiana, will be restored as a state office building and a memorial. Supervised by J. Lester White, state planning board chairman, res- toration will be completed with WPA aid. Louisianas oldest capital, flanked in front by high turrets, resembles a feudal castle. Built in 1849, it was abandoned when the late Gov. Huey P. Long completed the present skyscraper state building. The building has been a point of interest to tourists. The rotunda has a wrought-iro-n spiral stairway. There is a stained-glas- s dome which diffuses a soft light. Restoration will cost about 50.000. - Huge Sea Lion Lolls in Grass to Cap Tales Hayward, Calif. Strange things have come up from the sea during high waters in San Leandro creek this winter.
