New York University The latest available figures in dicate that more than ten percent of the motorists involved in all . fatal accidents were driving on the wrong side of the road.

In general, a i clear open road of approximately 1.000 feet and an allowable time interval of 12 seconds is a safe margin. In addition, accident prevention authorities recommend these spe cial precautions: 1 A standing street car or bus taking on or discharging passeng ers should never be passed on the right unless the landing area iS protected by a safety zone. 2. Vehicles should not pass on approaching curves, crests of hills, railroad grade crossings or at any intersections 3 Never attempt to pass vehicles that are travelling at top speed or it maximum safe speed, and never ittempt to pass when the required passing speed is greater than that allowed by the local speed law. 4 Indicate well in advance the "esire to pass, either by shifting position of the car into the correct : >ne or by the use of hand signals, o.- both.

By RUTH CURRENT State Home Demonstration Agent If you have a tough time break ing in a new pair of shoes don't blame it on the shoe altogether. Are you sure you are wearing the right size? If you are wearing the same size you were five or six years ago your shoes may be too small. Podiatrists say their files are j full of case histories of people who have been wearing wrong size shoes for years. Your hurting, rching and tired feet may come from more than just newness of shoes. Perhaps you would like to have these rules issued by a foot specialist when you buy your next pair of shoes: (1) Never tell the salesman your size and le?t it go at that. You're grown up now it's true, but your feet may have grown a half-size since you bought your last shoes. That's only one sixth of an inch, you know! (2) Have both your feet measured in a standing position. The two feet usually differ in size, and they're longer when you stand than when you're seated. (3) Examine the materials otf the Avoid Sun Stroke Heat Exhaustion With the approach of high tem ! peratures and the rush "of the harvesting season it is easy to be | ( vcreome by heat illness, says H. -hoe carefully. Are the uppers made of soft leather which won't constrict your feet? Are the soles of genuine leather, flexible enough to give yoar feet free play? If not. you may be stepping toward '.rouble. i4> Make sure the shoes are loomy in the front part and snug it the heel. You should be able to wiggle your toes freely inside the shoes If you can't, they're too short, and you'll have break ing-in trouble a-plenty. j Be sure clothes are entirely dry ! before packing them for summer travel, clothing specialists cau tion. If clothes are even slightly damp from pressing or from a 1 humid atmosphere, they will wrin- ' kle badly in a suitcase and may even mildew. Mildew can ruin clothes in a hurry given dampness. | darkness, and warmth. It's wise precaution to take a look .it stored clothing occasional ly during the summer to be sure no mildew has started. This is a tip especially for those who live near the seashore or in damp varm summer climates. M. Ellis, in charge of Extension .Agricultural Engineering at State College. When heat illness strikes it can be serious, sometimes fatal. Mr Ellis said. Be on the guard again s' heat sickness and take thj neces sary precautions this summer avoid over-exposure to the sun or prolonged physical exertion in extreme heat. Heat exhaustion and sun stroke are two entirely different things, even though both may seem to re sult from exposure to high evter- ' nal heat With heat exhaustion, the | patient's skin is cold and clammy - while with sun stroke, the skin is hot and dry. A simple rule may serve as a guide and avoid confu sion regarding the treatment. I?riefl>, it is this: If the patient is cold, make him warm: if he is hot. make him cool. You can protect yourself against heat sickness by following these National Safety Council recom mendations: Avoid overexertion, particularly J in t hi* early part ol' the heat wave. I Avoid too much exposure to riivet sun rays, or extreme indoor temperatures and high humidity wear a hat while out of doors. Wear light, porous clothing and avoid tight fitting clothes. Increase the use of salt on food, or use salt tablets or salt in drink- j ing water to offset the excessive loss of salt from the body through perspiration. Drink water often throughout the day. one glass at a time Eat nutritious food but avo, overeating - vitamin C lost ihroJ! perspiration should be n.nia,3 with fruit juices. Get plenty of sleep and bath regularly. the Avoid ice cold water and alco hol. Iowa produced about one-fifth of the nation's spring pju this year.
