THE FXRWERDAS RELATE TALK OF SOUTH AND WEST (Continued from first page) during Christmastide, and each night it is lead by a different celebrity. The lamp posts on this boulevard were dressed up to represent Christmas trees. The visit they paid Palm Springs was a great disappointment. The little city is situated in a blazing desert, and aside from the swimming pools, Swanky hotels, and beautiful homes on the main street, they felt that the The cost of all accidents last year, whole city was swamped with real esthe council estimated, was $3,300,- 000,000, of which approximately half was attributed to motor vehicle mishaps. These accounted for 32,600 deaths, 18 fnore than in 1938, and caused approximately 1,150,000 nonfatal injuries. Ranking second were accidents in the home. They killed 32,000 persons in 1939, 2 per cent more than in 1938, injured 4,700,000 and cost an estimated $600,000,000. Falls were blamed for 17,000 of the home deaths. Occupational deaths decreased 3 per cent to 16,000 and the miscellaneous accident toll decreased 6 per cent to 15,000. The council said that although traffic deaths were virtually the same as in 1938, travel increased 6 per - cent last year and 4 per cent more vehicles were on the road. Consequently, it concluded that the death rate, based on motor vehicle mileage, dropped more than 5 per cent to an all-time low of 12.2 deaths per 100,000,000 miles. Fatal falls in homes, in public places and at work increased 1 per cent to 27,000, deaths from burns increased 8 per cent to 8,000, and drownings decreased 11 per cent to 6,700. The estimated economic loss from all accidents included wages lost, medical expenses, the overhead costs of insurance and property damage in motor vehicle accidents and fires. tate offices.

A. Ford, ot Louisiana State university, and a WPA survey. The new culture has been named the Tchefuncta horizon. This culture, Professor Ford said, antedates the Marksville culture which previously was the oldest civilization established in the Mississippi valley --about 1,200 years old. "In ancient times, American Indians living along the Gulf coast apparently subsisted upon shell fish and Small mammals, birds and fish," Professor Ford said. "Our observations indicate that they Ramped on beaches near their principal food supply. Gradually the mussel shells and refuse from their camps accumulated into a big dump heap. From this we obtained fragments of pottery and implements which they used." Professor Ford said the Tchefuncta culture seemed closely related to cultures found in Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia, and apparently was distantly related to cultures in the northeastern United States. Gay*s saw the painting, ^Blue Boy," an exhibition of fine old furniture and carpets and were amazed by thfe beauty of the surroundings. Lyons' Pony Express museum, a collection of old pianos, music boxes, clothing, bustles, underwear and the like, claimed a few well spent hours. Mr. Lyons has, among his prizes, a bar from an old time saloon which is bullet scarred and battered, a replica of the Forty-niners. Movie companies frequently borrow various objects from him for their stage props. At Del Monte, they toured lion farm, and saw Mrs. Gay playing nursemaid to a group of young lions. They are fed goats milk from regular nursing bottles. Six horses are killed daily to feed the older lions. This is the home of Gilmore, the MGM lion.

H.--A machine that howls when it detects a spike or other metal object buried in' logs has been invented as a result of the 1938 New Ehgland hurricane. Mill workers reported trouble sawing the fallen timber until the device was cfeveloped by the forest service radio laboratory at Portland, Ore. The pieces of metal damaged saws, slowed work and1 endangered workers. The machine resembles a portable radio set. It has earphones and an exploring coil on a six-foot wire. The operator examines each log with the coil before it goes to the saw.

Frisco's Streets They found San Francisco to be a curious town where two street car lines run on one street, one privately owned and one owned by the city. Descending some of the steep hills upon which the city is situated, they thought they'd never reach the bottom right side up, and wondered what the pavement would be like when it rained. Among the spots of interest In this vicinity are the Oakland-Frisco bridge, the seal rocks upon which there is a congregation of sea Hons, tljje Japanese Gardens ill Golden Gate nark, Chinatown, the old Barbary coast and Mark Hopkins' hotel, whose skyrpom commands a magnificent view of the city by day and night. While in this part of the country, thev called on Frank Justen at ChowcTrilla. He owns a 400 acre ranch, has his own irrigating system and pump which brings up 1,200 gallons of water per minute. ( Driving southward again, they saw the Monterey peninsula, the city itself being one of the oldest cfties in California. The streets are narrow and there are scores of old fashioned buildings. i ' " At San Luis Obispo, they spent sometfme with friends, and also stopped' at the Santa Barbara mission, rich in historical and natural-beauty. When Mr. and Mrs. Ferwerda returned- to Los Angeles, they made it a point to visit Boulder dam. which they say one has to see in order to appreciate. Thev took the elevator which descended 528 feet into the dam. The entire dam is 745 feet high and when completed, will employ fifteen electric turbines. At present, only six are in operation. That night was spent in Las Vegas, Nev. Here Mr. IFerwerda had a heartv laugh, for when the electric and neon signs go on fn the streets, instead of advertising cTrng and shoe stores, etc.. as we have it, these signs announce gambling houses, bookies, and poker games. The state gives these places a legal rijght to operate. In Death Valley The drive through Death Valley, via hard surfaced road, was a pleasure this y»ar fn comparison with the jour ney they made across this desert six vears- ago. when there was nothing but a trail.

Wire baskets ground all the street lamps, which were situat° d in the middle of the street, were filled with the various fruits. All the local male citizens were required to wear ten gallon hats and 4-he regular western boots. If anyone was caught not wearing this garb, he was placed in a cage on the street corners for a few hours and heckled *>v rilo^ker^.

Although the erangea, grapefruit, and other fruits and vegetables in that portion of the peninsula froze when the mercury fell to twenty-six degrees above lero one night, the day times were always comfortably warm, and the Untis returned with an enviable suntan. Mr. Unti was quite taken up with the city and its surroundings, and so he purchased a small tract of land whereon he intends to begin building next winter. He spent moBt of his time this vacation cleaning up and clearing the spot. Among the interesting sights at Daytona Beach is the speedway along the ocean sands. This runway is wide enough to permit about ten cars to run side by side. Here they witnessed a number ef motorcycle and stock ear races. A most enjoyable day was spent in the company of Mayor and Mrs. Rt I. Overton of West McHenry, who are still vacationing in Florida. Two weeks ago, Miss Laura Unti journeyed by train to join her parents and accompanied them back to McHenry.

Cook of Huntley held an inquiry Tuesday afternoon into the death of Miss Vivian Ashuin, 40 years old, of Terra Cotta, who was found dead in her auto, apparently the victim of a heart attack. Miss Ashum is believed to have suffered the fatal attack Monday night when she returned home from a visit with friends". An investigation showed that she had not been overcome by carbon monoxide gasv She had driven her car into the garage and switched off the motor. It is believed she died when she started to alight from the car where she was found Tuesday afternoon by neighbors. The woman's parents, who reside in Chicago, said Miss Ashum had been ill with heart trouble for several years. She had lived alone in her home southwest of Terra Cotta. The body was taken to the Gilbert funerl'home in Crystal Lake where funeral services will be held Saturday with burial in Crystal Lake.
