NEW PHYSICAL DIRECTOR FOR EVANSTON Y. M. C. A. Charles N. Stevens, chairman of the physical department connected with the Evanston Young Men's Christian association, of which many north shore men and boys are mem- bers, announces the selection of Ralph I. McKee of Burlington, Ia., as physical director to succeed Ralph Woods, who was temporarily in charge of the physical work during the war. Mr. Woods has accepted a position with the Fairbanks Morse company at Beloit, Wisconsin. Mr. McKee was born in Minneapo- - lis and received his early education there. He completed two years' work at the University of Kansas and entered association work in To- peka, Kansas. After one and one- half years in railroad "Y" work he entered boys' work at Lawrence, Kansas, where he developed a strong community association work. At the end of two years of successful work at Lawrence he realized the need of a more technical training and enter- ed Chicago "Y" college where he studied for two years, going from college to the Division street depart- ment, Chicago, as assistant physical director. While at Division street Mr; McKee did some splendid .work in developing water sports and sever- al Som boys were taught! to] swim under his supervision. Nir; McKee did great work 'with the young. athletes and several of these afenow among the "greats."

Mr, McKee was strongly urged to accept the' public schools diractor- ship at Burlington but preferred to remain in association work. From the letters that have come to the Ev- anston association from members of the Burlington "Y" it is 'zvident that the association is fortunate in se- curing such a hustling, wide awake man to head its big physical work program. With the extensive plans which are under way for the extend- ing of the local physical work there is great nzed for a man of Mr. Mc- Kee's ability. He begins his work at once.

Vulcanizing A little rhathematics and a few : measurements .show that in the case of approaching a side street with a Hood, Mason ana Firestone Tire building on the corner, the Franklin driver can see an approaching ve- hicle on the right-hand side street a certam time sooner (the time it takes the approaching vehicle to | SMI ER JIA travel 22 feet) than if the Franklin car had a vertical glass front. This means that the Fran driver can see the oncoming vehicle when the latter is forty-four feet from the point of collision. A driver with a | straight. glass front enclosed car would see the oncoming vehicle when it is only 22 feet from the point of collision. This safety feature of the V-front is most appreciated when one ob-; serves statistics on accidents. This cross-street situation is the too fre- quent cause of accidents. A vehicle approaching on the right invariably has the right of way, and the other driver is in a blind-man's-buff posi- tion at the very moment that the danger is greatest, if he has the or- dinary enclosed car with a straight glass front.
