Report All Accidents An automobile driver needs a good deal of supplementary supplement-ary equipment jack, tire tools, flashlight, and so on. The most important item of all, however, is one that can't be bought at any equipment store : the necessary amount of courage to stick around and make a report after he hits somebody some-body with his car. A homeless wanderer was struck by a speeding car and killed on a Salt Lake street the other night. Police traced the driver and pinched him a few hours later. He was in a state of nervous collapse. "It was so horrible and I was so scared and sick I didn't knew what I was doing," he said, in explaining his haste to get away. "I just got back in the car and drove away. I wouldn't leave a dog lying in the street, let alone a man. But I didn't know what I was doing." It would be a good thing if every motorist could make a little agreement with himself to the effect that if his car hits anyone he will stop, give his victim whatever aid he can, and then report to the police before going home. It takes nerve, self-control, sometimes but a man who is a man must be ready to take the consequences of his mistakes. Building Up Business The best shot-in-the-arm that our industrial recovery could get would probably be a substantial revival in the building trades; and such a revival would seem to be foreshadowed fore-shadowed by the most recent report from the Home Loan Bank at Washington, which shows that in ten states, at least, we are actually on the verge of a housing shortage. In these ten states, according to the report, 98 per cent of the habitable dwellings are occupied. That leaves substantially sub-stantially less, one gathers, than the amount of unoccupied space which is ordinarily regarded as normal. It ought to mean that in these states a good deal of building will need to be done in the near future. A pick-up in the building trades would be felt all up and downpour economic system. Basic industries would be stimulated, stimu-lated, transportation lines would go into the black, jobs would become more plentiful. Let's hope that the forecast is speedily translated into fact.

Prepared by General Motors No. 2 NIGHT r rt just as true as can be that when apt to begin getting careless about it, for when driving our cars. For instance, we recently heard a group of engineers discussing night driving, and one thing they kept talking about seas "over-driving our headlights."

So, on considerably shorter notice than in the daytime a vehicle or pedestrian can come out of the darkness. Almost before we know it we may have to slow down or stop for someone or something on the road . . . perhaps one of those big lumbering trucks that you barely see till you're right up on them; or a car whose tail-light has gone out ... an unexpected curve, or what not. And that's where we meet up with momentum again. You see, stopping isn't the one simple action we always thought it was. The truth is, we are told, that there are really three things we have to do to stop. First we have to think of stopping. Next we have to move one foot over on to the brake pedal. And then we have to push down on the brake pedal. Now we might not believe it, but they tell us those first two steps take time. Less than a second, perhaps, but even in that instant momentum is carrying us on. In fact, at only 20 miles an hour the average driver goes 22 feet before he can even start to use the brakes.

It's true that we naturally tend to go a little slower at night. But if we aren't careful we gradually get going faster than we realize, and that may get us into trouble. You see, momentum, the same force that tries to keep us from making turns safely; that cuts all kinds of capers on slippery roads . , . never ft V Vl 11. 1 a m all they don't give us the distance FOR STOPPING FEET TRAVELED WHILE THINKING FEET TRAVELED WHILE USING BRAKES FT. 1 165 FT. 3 222 FT. 240 3IQ 3 f t: study of drivers and driving conditions, and which has prepared the data for the above chart. The important thing to realize is that distance needed to stop increases a great deal as we increase our speed. We just have to remember that when we're moving mov-ing along in a car, we think by the foot, act by the foot and stop by the foot, and if we aren't careful, it's easy to get going faster than is really safe. Now, just as engineers have told us how to operate is safety with our own lights, many experienced drivers have pointed out how to avoid trouble from other people's lights. They say that all we have to do, when passing other cars at night, is to stop looking side of the road. J 1 m m . m a onvinf can oe jusi as pleasant ana to be more alert and more carefuX.

Mayor for One) Four Year Term for One) Four Year Term One) ATTEST GREAT BATTLE IN PROGRESS LONDON, Oct. 15 (U.F) London newspaper correspondents with the Italian Somaliland army and at headquarters of the Ethiopian force of more than 100,000 men opposing it, reported today that the greatest battle of the war is in progress in the wild Webbe Shibeli river valley. The Daily Mail's corerspondent at Djibouti, French Somaliland, reported "authoritatively" that Tecla Hawariat, Ethiopian chief delegate to the league of nations, had been ordered home immediately immediate-ly to become generalissimo of all Ethiopian troops in an effort to halt the southern invasion. Casualties Heavy A group of European engineers caught in Ogaden province by the swiftly spreading Guerilla war told the same correspondent by telephone tele-phone that 18,000 Ethiopian natives nat-ives had been killed since Saturday Satur-day by airplane bombardments, gas and machine gun fire. The report tallied closely with messages to the Dedjazmatch Nassibu, Ethiopian commander of southern forces at Harar, that Italian bombs and gas had killed populations of whole villages. Refugees streaming by hundreds out of the trackless desert where the Italian troops attacked told a United Press staff correspondent correspond-ent at Harar last Saturday that "they are killing our wives, mothers and children," and that thousands of noncombatants were killed in their villages by shrapnel shrap-nel and gas bombs dropped from more than 200 airplanes supporting support-ing the Italian advance.

CHAPTER XXIX TRUE to Tnbbr'e prediction. Drann scheduled the "big scene" for the following day. Tennis and badminton courts, the riding paths, and even the bathing beach were empty, for all the Crest Lake guests crowded the shore of the lake In sight of the movie activities. For the past several days Drann's carpenters had been busy erecting a long platform out from shore, and mounting on this the sound and microphone equipment. Like most motion picture parties on location, Drann and his outfit had been maddeningly reticent about Just what was going to happen. hap-pen. But rumor had It that this was to be an Important day in the making of the picture The truth was that today's scene would be only an Incident In the completed film, and that the real "big scene" a forest fire would be filmed In the privacy and safety of the Atlas studios In Hollywood. Nevertheless this knowledge, leaking out from j minor members of Drann's crew, did not 8 lack en the Interest of the people at Crest Lake. And. Just as Douglas Marsh had said they would, old Mr. and Mrs. Bowen. the proprietors of Lone Tree Tavern, Tav-ern, drove up In their rattle-trap ear to see the fun.

"Going down to see how movies are made?" Tubby asked him. Bret nodded. "Drann told me he wanted me around." "Gosh." breathed Tubby. "Looks as If he thinks maybe somebody might drown!" The life guard laughed. "It's not that. He said I might have to do some doubling." He and Tubby carried on an aimless, aim-less, self-conscious conversation half way down to the lake shore, and then fell sileni In the presence of Jo's obvious frigidity. Luckily, when they merged with the crowd at the lake there was no need Cor further talk. Drann was already under way. shouting orders from one of the motorboats in which a camera was mounted,.
