Show UTAH DEMOCRAT TAXICABS ROA first Twenty-eight- h I'niugura-tio- n Chief Executive of Lone Star State Austin, Tex. Mrs. Miriam Amanda (Ma") Ferguson was inaugurated as Texas first woman governor Junuary 20th in the state house of representatives where ten years ago her husband James E. Ferguson, was sworn into the same office, and where, nearly three years later, articles of impeachment were voted against him, resulting in his removal from office. In taking the oath as the twenty-eight- h chief executive of this state, Mrs. Ferguson becomes the second woman governor in the United States, Mrs. Nellie T. Ross of Wyoming having taken office early this month. Like Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Ross occupies the office formerly held by her husband. Ceremonies as elaborate as the event is unique surround the inauguration. The largest crowd ever to attend an inaugural was on hand. Most of these were unable to see Mrs. Ferguson take the oath of office, but met her at the inaugural ball and reception in the evening. The induction ceremony was itself brief and simple. The program called for ashort prayer; administering of the oath of office and then inaugural address of the new governor. To Mrs. Ferguson, her inauguration represents the final stepping stone clear her family name from the stigma of her husbands inpeach ment. After his removal from office she urged his efforts at a political comeback, lie tried to regain the governorship, but was overwhelmingly defeated. In 1920 he aimed higher and sought the presidency of the United States, running on the American party ticket. Two years later he ran for the United States senate and made a good race in the first Democratic primary, only to lose in the runoff with Earle B. Mayfield. Early last year he again announced his candidacy for governor, but his impeachment barred him from ever holding office in the state, the courts held. lie had his wife make the race. She weathered two heated primaries and then defeated her Republican opponent, although she ran for behind the rest of the Democratic ticket. She made her opposition to the Ku Klux Klan the principal plank of her platform. -- COAST MURDER IS IN PARIS BARS TROTZKY EXECUTIVE FROM KILLING OF MOTHER BY YOUNG EXPULSION THREATENED COMMITTEE GIRL AROUSES CIVIC BODIES FOR DISOBEDIENCE TO ACTION Womans Organizations Propose War Accused Leader Vigorously Denies Desire to Revise Policies Of On Vamps and Shieks; EllingLentne; Russian Policies ton Girl May Be Over Sixteen Changing San Francisco. Womens clubs and civic organizations here have started a campaign against the activities of young women designated as vamps and men called sheiks, as a result of official disclosures touching on the night life of Miss Dorothy EUingson 16, who shot her mother to death when the parent objected to the company and hours her daughter was keeping. Miss Ellingson revealed, after her arrest in a rooming house here forty-eighours after the shooting, that she had taken $45 from the room In which she killed her mother and danced and drank at a party on the evening following the killing. The slaying of Mrs. Ellingson by her daughter was the subject of much comment from the pulpits of the various churches. Some of the most prominent pastors in the city dwelt at length on the episode. All of the discussion stressed the need of more solidarity in the home and society. Up until Sunday the girls age was accepted at 16. Word received from Lon Angeles, however, set the authorities off on a new angle of investigation. Mrs. Eric A. Bloom, who claimed to hpve had the care of Dorothy in December, 1912 and January 1916, notified the police here, they said, that she was positive that her former charge was now more than 16 years old. She was 5 years at the very least when she was with us. Mrs. Bloom is reported to have said. She might' even have been 6. In response to this development, Dorothy said, that she would be 17 next April. She 'said her father was going to send East for her birth certificate., Meanwhile the police announced that if it were developed that the girl is 18 she could be held liable to the death penalty instead of imht al - from the Japanese governprietor of a sausage factory here, cablegram was arrested at Kentfield by Game Five Die in Scotland Mine Warden W.

These facts became known in a semiofficial communication issued Moscow. here. The communication said that at a the executive of plenary meeting commission of and control committee Communist the party, held on Friwas decided, almost unaniday, it mously, first, to invite Trotsky to submit effectively to party discipline; second, that his retention on the war council must be regarded as impossible; and, third, that the question of the further employment of Trotsky on the executive committee be postponed until the next party congress, with a warning that his continued disobedience would entail his removal from the political bureau and the executive committee. According to the communication, Trotsky wrote to the committee regretting his inability, owing to his illness, to attend its session, and declaring that he hail kept silence in order to spare the Communist party. He vigorously denied he favored revising Leninism or that he belittled the role of Lenine. Trotsky added that he hismelf regarded Trotskyism as ended politically and said he had not forseen that his book on the revolution would be made use of on the political platform. Regarding the accusations him of lack of discipline, Trotagainst sky wrote: I reply emphatically, that I am ready for any task, in any post or outside any post and under any control imposed by my party. It is use-le- s sto emphasize that, after recent discussions, our cause necessitates that I should be relieved of my post of president of the revolutionary war council. The resolution adopted by the commission declares that Trotzkys anti-Leni- st views regarding the peasants constituted a special danger to the Communist party as his attitude had undermined the confidence of the peasants in the soviet policy. Further, the resolution observes that Trotzkys letter, while agreeing to perform any task assigne to him, fails to admit his errors and maintains his attitude, thus making his submission a pure formality. anti-bolshev- ik Rail Agreement Reached Chicago, Engineers and firemens brotherhoods are understood to have negotiated a settlement of wage and working conditions with the Chicago & Northwestern railway in accordance with the decision of the United States railroad labor board in the Southern Pacific case.

Today all organizations engaged in roud building are looking for the trained road engineer, and when there are not enough to go round, sending their own men to college for better training In highway building. In 1919 the University of Michigan, which 'has departments of hlghwaj engineering .and highway transport (Prof. Arthur il. Rfanchard) offered graduate short period courses In highway engl nee ring and highway transport, leading to the degree of master of science or master of science In engineering, arranged especially for men engaged In the practice of highway engineering and highway transport. In 1919-2- 0 the attendance was 29; while In 1922-2110 men attended these courses, the average age of the men being twenty-seve- n years, ranging from twenty-thre- e to fifty-si- x years. These men came from the United States bureau of public roads, state, county, and municipal highway departments, contractors organizations, companies manufacturing motor trucks, highway machinery and materials, universities, and from the field of high18 way transport. Daring 1923-2were courses short graduate period offered, ten in the field of highway en gineering and eight In highway transport. These courses were given by a staff of eight professors and ten nonresident lecturers. The road building world Is looking to the engineer, the trained roan, the technician, for light on how to build better, less expensive, more permanent highways. It Is generally recognized b now that the day of the builder is gone, and that only the engineer, proficient in the art and .familiar with the best practice.

Closed Autos Now Make Wider Hoads Necessary A few years ago most of the automobiles were open models; a closed car then was somewhat of a rarity, and was regarded as more a town model than anything else. Today, how ever, this condition Is vastly changed, and we find that now approximately 8.Vper cent of the automobiles sold are - closed models. Consideration of this fact will reveal that this situation makes a great deal of difference in traffic conditions. When most of the automobiles were open cars, motorists would go driving only when there was prospect of continued fulr weather. Now, however, the possibility of rain does not deter the automobile owner from taking his enr for a spin when he has the time; even If It does rain he can be dry and comfortable Inside his gasoline coach. This inenns that the average noro-he- r of cars on the road Is always much greater. (And one must not lose sight of the fact that more cars of all models are being sold today than ever before.) Ail of which points ont the necessity of more paved roads and wider ones. New pavements must be built wider. Old ones, which have become Inadethe greatly increased quate to handle ' traffic, must be widened by laying trips of concrete beside the old pavement. ' This Is exactly what Is being done In many communities. - Rond officials realize the necessity of wider roads. And It Is necessary that those who use roads and those who are benefited by the use of them support these officials In getting wider roads. It is up to them,' In fact, to Insist on wider roads .

How to Apply Brake and Prevent Skidding Do not apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a wet pavement. Such action is liable to start a skid. If that does occur, turn the steering wheel In the direction of the skid. At the same instant release the brakes. Better control will result if the brakes are applied gradually on and off. Many drivers lose their heads In such emergency. and feel that they have done everything possible when they have locked the brakes. Don't permit the driving wheels to slide either In starting or stopping. Gradual clutch and brake engagement will avoid this. Don't run the car any distance on a deflated tire. At the first warning stop and make the change. Nothing Will break down the tire wiill more quickly. Don't try to make every hill In high peed. Nothing Is to.be gained by so doing. Your gearset Is designed to meet such requirements. If you persist In lids practice you will soop find it necessary to refit the engine bearings. and furthermore, you will greatly reduce the tire mileage of the driving wheels. Don't approach a down grade at speed and then apply the brakes suddenly to bring the car under control. Many accidents occur from this cause, especially on wet roads.

"Engineers, says a representative of a tire concern, have made exhaustive tests relative to comparative wear on tires lu various positions. Tliey have learned that those on the right wheels are subjected to greater wear than those on .the left, and those on the rear wheels to more than those on the front. "Thus it readily can be seen that occasional changes will effect more equal distribution of wear with a consequent -- Increase In mileage. "Records' have been kept at a certain factory on a large number sf tires, which have run in the aggregate more than 8,000,000 miles. Some of these tires have been run continuously in the same positions. The records show that the average tire on the left front wheel will give nearly twice as much mileage as the one on the right rear wheel. "The mileage in the various positions, therefore, will be approximately the following proportions : To one mile of service on the right rear wheel 0 tires will average miles on the left rear. 1H miles on the right front and 1 miles on the left front. In other words, the average tire that would run 6,000 miles on the right rear wheel would ran about 7,000 miles on tlie left rear. 9.000 on the right front and 11.000 on the left front wheel." izes. half-and-ha- time-consumin- COMPOUND - 11-1- Unique Use for Honey During Severe Weather The recent cold weuther raised the problem of how to keep the radiator of our automobiles front freezing.

To prepare the hone solution, measure out half enough water to fill your radiator, and add an equal volume of cheap strained honey. Bring this to a boll and add one quart of wood or denatured alcohol for each three gallons of solution.- Aftei this has boiled from three to five minutes, the scum should be removed from the top, and the solution Is ready for use.
