Lauer, of Iowa Stale college, says about the physical short comings of apparently normal people. ; Clarity of vision is merely one dt secondary quality Is width of the field of vision. Normally, a person looking straight ahead detects the presence of a car when It pulls up beside him, hut some do not become aware of It until It moves ahead. Ex treme sufferers from narrow vision are said to possess tunnel vision, but many persons have less thao the nor mal field of 185 to 195 degrees and do not suspect the fact. Depth of vision also Is necessary to safe driving. This means that the —man behind the wheel must not only be able to see a car In the road but must be aware of whether it is traveling with him, standing still, or coming toward him, and approximately how that. Depth perception is linked with another" point, eye dominance. Many people who get headaches when they are tired do so because they are seeing out of only one eye, although they do not know it Two eyes afe needed for three-dimension sight. Color blindness is a common and widely recognized fault. Another thing needed for safe driving is strength in the hands for emergency use; there must also be the ability to Judge speed of movement, and the right amount of awareness to sudden noise./ All these and many other • abilities are part of every person’s makeup In varying degrees. We rec ognize them by saying a driver Is alert, or capable, observant, quick, cool, but seldom think to discover which particular combintaions of perception and nervous control pro duce these desirable qualities, ft- goes without saying, however, that a driver who recognizes his deficien cies can take steps to compensate for them.—Detroit Free Press.

This trigger finger was a split sec ond slow and the biasing fire from a police machine gun felled him as he fled down an alley. He never got up. The slaying climaxed an unrelenting search. Police said Van Meter had been trailed night and day fpr two weeks. Indicating he had heed going to and coming from his hideaway here during that time. Chief Cullen had learned of the desperado's whereabouts from a girl friend who was Jealous ef Van Meter's attentions to another woman. Van Meter died as did his late ehle'f, from bullets fired by the law. How- over, unlike Dtlllnger, Van Meter pulled his pistol to fire two shots at his pursuers. They were Chief of Po lice Prank pollen, new supervisor of police; Tom Brown, head of the Ber- tillon department; and Detectives Jeff Dietrich and Thomas McMahon. Both* shots went wild and Van Me ter fled for his life. Brown, sqneesing the trigger of the machine gun, saw the gunman fall after a short chase. Chief Cullen, meantime, was forced to stop firing to avoid hitting a woman. Van Meter’s body was perforated with about fifty slugs. He had scuttled from a street Inter section not far from the downtowa district when ordered to halt by the police officers, who recognized him as they were cruising in a squad car. In Van Meter’s pockets was found $923 in cash, mostly In ten and twenty dotlar bills. With the money was an extra clip'of cartridge* for his auto- matic and an Illinois motor vehicle license registration card Issued to a “Henry Adams.” A federal worker with a brush and |(alnt is putting a few daubs on Bossle’s coat to show that she has been purchased by Uncle Sam.
