Office over the Charles Store, Adjoining the Suite of Judge B. T. Falls Mils Dins TO REPAIR MS Highway Patrol Say* Brakes And Headlights Must Be Adjusted. Around 300 Arrests. News and Observer: "I'm just sitting here with my fingers crossed,” observed Capt Charles D. Farmer, of the state highway patrol, yesterday. "There were no fatal motor accidents in (he state on the Fourth of July, and so far as I have learned none Sun day,” he continued. Capt. Farmer explained that lie did not mean to credit this entirely to the highway patrol, but thought the effect of the recent publicity of the highway patrol in impressing on the public mind the necessity for rare in driving had, together with the activity of the patrol, undoubt edly contributed to it. With only a very small percentage of fatal I accidents credited to defective cars, the great majority are due to reck less, careless, or absent ninded driv ers. In curbing the reckless, and serving as a reminder to all drivers of their responsibility to operate cars safely on the highways. Capt. Farmer hopes the patrol will re duce the number of lives lost in the state each month through motor accidents. iv!dip t.nan a.mw motorists wan de fective headlights anti brakps have been warned by patrolmen to have their machines repaired so that they comply with the law'. Lieut. Garland Goodwin of the fourth district In which Wake is located, reporting that considerably more than 200 drivers were stopped Saturday and Sunday In this district. Prom the latter figure only three arrests were madV>. while around 300 were arrested In the state at large these being drunken or very reck less drivers. However, drivers receiv ing notification to put thir cars in shape are subject to arrest 48 hours |after warning is given if the cai; the warning is given if the cars have not been fixed. The chauffeur jof John Sprunt Hill, highway com [misisoner from the fourth district, jwas among those warned to have a tall light put on the car. | Lights that do not blind ap proaching drivers, or in other words those which have ben efocuscd in accordance with the state law. and brakes properly adjusted, are pre requisites to safe driving. Capt. Farmer declared, adding that these two points would occupy the im- I mediate attention ol patrolmen j "We're getting a splendid re sponse from the public," Lieut T ! A. Early, of the fifth district, report ed yesterday. “A woman voluntarily ! came up to us in Southern Pines i and said she was glad we were on the job, that her 12 year old soil ] had been driving her car. but she j could promise us he wouldn't drive ! any more. On the other hand, a patrolman requested a woman who had stop- j ped at a filling station to have a headlight which was not burning fixed, Lieut Early said. She pro tested that she wanted her lights just as they were, and had had a nice bright bulb put on one side, and the bulb taken out of the other light and the wire taped, explain ing that, other motorists couldn't tell which side of her car the light was on and consequently gave h^r plenty of room. Aiding motorists in trouble is also a part of the patrolmen's activities, which is meeting with public ap proval, since stopping another car. especially at night. Is sometimes difficult to accomplish. inn Airplanes A Day. Another Indication of the tre mendous extent to which the avia tion industry is expected to develop in the near future ran be seen in action taken at the recent conven tion of the airport section of the Aeronautical Chamber of Com merce. This organization recommended that, all cities of 100,000 persons o ■ more must build their airports so as to be able to handle a traffic of at least 100 planes a day. In addi tion, it was estimated that at least $50,000,000 will be spent on airports in the United States this year. Figures such as these show how aviation is progressing. At present only Chicago readies the 100 planes per day figure. If the small cities '.re to attain this level soon—and the industry's leaders believe thev will the business of aviation will have expanded to many times its present size—Salisbury Past. Congress lias passed the farm board bill and voted a half-billion dollars to make it work. The cost, of course, will be added to the city board bill.—The New Yorker.
