More Liven Lost
Lo? Angeles has the record of a
peculiar accident which points a
strong moral to motorists, traffic
officials, sttite highway authorities,
and especially our state legislators.
A driver in crowded traffic had an
epileptic fit and crashed into a sidewalk
filled with pedestrians. A
police car was rushing to the scene,
when down a hill came another motorist
and ran headlong into it.
More injured and dying.
The second motorist had not heard
the police car's shrieking siren because,
it developed? he was deaf. And
he could barely see the car because,
it also turned out, he was blind in
one eye!
That's all. The fact itself is
enough to emphasize the necessity
of state laws that would require the
examination of those who would drive
automobiles. For u motor car is a
dangerous machine when loosed out
of the hands of an irresponsible
driver. It must be kept under constant
careful control or death will
occur.
The American Automobile association
and its affiliated clubs ure using
their influence for the adoption of
drivers' license laws in every state
such as exist in New York and a few
other states. By virtue of these laws,
only persons physically and mentally
fit to drive are permitted to do so.
Such laws would save many a life.
. -i
Pranks of Tornadoes
Many people find it hard to believe
that tornadoes actually drive straws
into boards. The velocity of the wind
in the whirl of a tornado is terrific.
It probably sometimes attains a speed
of more than 300 miles an hour.
That Buch wind will frequently drive
quills, straws and splinters into solid
surfaces is well established.
"Straws," writes the director of the
Weather Bureau, "have been driven
by tornadoes short distances into the
bark of trees and in some cases into
the surface <?f wooden boards or the
wooded parts of trees. Many witnesses
have testified to these facts,
and photographs of the phenomena
are rather common. There is some
uncertainty as to the depth of
penetration in most cases, also as to
the real hardness of the small surface
of materials thus penetrated, hut
there is no question that wind does
sometimes drive straws into wood."
According to the National Geographic
Society, tornadoes have been
known to drive planks all the waythrough
the trunks of trees. A
tornado-like waterspout at Calcutta,
India, assert E. E. Free and Travis
Hoke in their new book entitled
"Weather," once drove u bamboo
cane completely through a six-foot
wall faced on both sides with brick.
These phenomena are no mystery to
physical science.
The velocity of a straw, splinter or
other small object may be so great
that it will penetrate a harder body
before it is crushed itself. It is the
energy with which a body strikes
another that determines its piercing
effect. A small fast-moving object
may possess far greater kinetic
energy than a large slow-moving
body. The straw hurled through
space at a tremendous speed expends
its kinetic energy in penetrating the
harder object, and this happens so
quickly that the inertia of the straw
prevents it from crumpling before it
penetrates at least some distance.
Because of the same principle wax
candles can be. shot with a rifle
through solid boards.

We have collected more taxes in

a large amount of praise is due the
various County Officers who have assisted
us so efficiently."

.-^Crusoe's Island Pretty Spot
One of the most fruitful spots in
South America is the little island upon
which Robinson Crusoe is reported,
in legend, to have been shipwrecked.
According to one writer,
Robinson Crusoe was more to have
been envied than pitied, even if he
had to find his man Friday from
among the cannibals and was compelled
to make his own world a
place in which he could live. The is1
land is said to be one of the most picturesque
spots in South America.
It is part .of the crater edge of an
extinct volcaho, 370 miles from Yalparaiso,
Chile. On it eVery imaginable
plant seems to grow, including such
widely divergent 'kinds of the cork
oak of Spain and apple cherry, and
olive trees. ~" .
The island forma the base of the
spiny lobster fisheries, 80,000 lobsters
a year being shipped to South American
markets, where they command a
high price. It has a population ot
287 persons of mixed French, Italian,
German, and Spanish blood and depends
for medical treatment on the
wireless. -
The fishermen have built a little
hospital, completely equipped wit^
medicines, given by the Chilean RedCroes,
and an operating room, tot
there is no doctor. 'When any one Is

Mr. Brisbane's editorials are put*
luhed as expressions of opinions
of the world's highest-salaried
editor and The Chronicle does not
necessarily endorse all of his
views and conclusions.
Scientists study Ashes that live
mile below the ocean surface, Bring
them to the top, removing' the water
pressure, they burst and die.
Human beings live at the bottom
of an atmospheric ocean, 500 miles
deep. If you took us to the top w*
probably should burst, and we shoold
die surely. Man cannot live even ten
milos up, to say nothing of 500 miles.
We pity the poor, submerged deep
sea fish, leading such dull lives. They
would pity the submerged poor
jynong human beings.
Science says all of earth's life was
once in the ocean. Some animals
climbed on the land, developed lungs
in place of the fish's bludder, ears In
place of gills. Men were included in
that migration to land. Other animals,
even more ambitious, learned
to fly?the birds.
Among human beings a few, birdlike#
fly, albove the level of necessity to
the realms of wealth. Once they get
there, they, like the birds, are safe.
But, like the birds, they dont do
much thinking. They don*t have ,to
think. (
- Mr. Broun,-known the world over
as the recalcitrant stormy petrel 'of
thought, quarrels with President
Coolidge because the President
speaks of good will between nations
then asks for fifteen cruisers.
That's not inconsistent. The other
nations know that we can get the
fifteen cruisers, and fifty if we want
them. And that creates the "good

However, Socialists need not be
downcast. Their candidate had a
hard time, running against prosperity,
7,000,000 Coolidge plurality, the
"wet-dry" question, etc. When people
are as busy as that, they haven't time

Will Rogers selects an "All-American
Team of ability, as follows:
Thomas A. Edison, Henry Ford,
Herbert Hoover, John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., and Lindbergh.
He probably leaves out the ablest
man in the country, as yet unknown.
That's fortunate, for it means we
have reserves.
Rogers would have those five' men
run the country, "move Thanksgiving
Day up to election and do away with
elections entirely."
The plan would work, of course.
The original John D. Rockefeller
could have done the job alone when
he was younger. He would have
known how to select the men.

Until the wedding of the pair,
If Bobby knew his onions,
He'd choose the 'lectric chair.

From the Redfearn Motor Company,
They bought a Ford the other day,
Bob says it beats all cars he's owned
In every single way.
They're proud of its appearance,
It's comfort and its power,
And ever since they bought it,
They just motor 'by the hour.
And when it stands by other cars,
Bob's proud that it is his,
For the snappy-looking neiw Ford's
As pretty as there is..
Now Betty sets the fashions,
When it comes to ladies' clothes,
Because to the stylish Fashion Shop,
She always, always goes.
Therq she'll buy her winter coat,
And dresses by the score,
The Fashion Shop is always stocked,
With pretty things galore.
She'll buy lingerie and hosiery there,
And accessories for each gown,
It's well-known that the Fashion
Shop's , f
The smartest store in town.
Of course like all good dressers,
They're careful about their feet,
And naturally Lomansky Brothers,
Will see that these are neat.
At Lomansky's Bob will buy someFlorsheim
shoes,
The leading make for men,
While Betty will buy pretty pumps,
Every now and then.
Instead of buying new shoes, \
And throwing 'way the old,
They'll take them to Ixxmansky's
And have them heeled and soled.
From the Burns & Barrett Hardware
Store,
They'll buy their kitchen dishes,
And any aluminum kitchen ware,
That pretty Betty wishes.
They bought a pretty henter,
Just the other day,
While Betty will do her cooking,
The Perfection Oil Stove way.
For every kind of hardware,
and farm machinery too,
Bob will go to Burns & Barrett,
Like all wise people do.
From the McLeod-Rush Grocery, ,
Their groceries they will buy,
That they're wise in this selection,
You surely won't deny. '
There they'll get fresh greenstuffs,
And groceries that are nice,
McLeod-Rush deal in quality,
At sery moderate price.
When you want the nicest groceries,
Just Telephone four-four,
And you'll get much better service
Than you ever got before.
Now Betty's very beautiful,
Has nice skin and pretty hair,
And of course the Camden Beauty;
Parlor,
For both of these will care.
There she'll get a permanent,
A facial and shampoo,
She patronizes this shop,
'Cause most smart women do.
For complete beauty culture,
This is where to go,
Their wrok is really finer,
Than any city shop we know.
