a man will be Interested In what
Dr. Air ah R. 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.

St Paul, Minn.—Henry Van Meter,
thirty-five, one ef the craftiest Ueo-
tenants ef slain John D! lunger's hand
ef arch-crimlnala and the "natton’h
public enemy No. 4,” died as be Uved,
wfth a sneer on his ttpe and a gun in
his hand.
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.”
