Official details of the Save-A-Life Campaign and mechanical inspection of all automobiles and trucks in this state from August 1 to August 25, in clusive, just authorized by proclama tion of Governor Adam McMullen, were announced today by R. L. Coch ran, Secretary and State Department Engineer, Department of Public Works. Brakes, lights horns, steering mechanism, windshield wipers and mirrors to be the salient points of in spection, R. L. Cochran Btated, sjnce these parts or equipment are among the first to become defective, and when defective are responsible for a large number of the serious accidents that take place every year. The official inspection will be en tirely free of charge, due to the co operation of garages, car dealers, re pair shops and service stations in every community of the state, which have indicated their willingness to serve as official state inspection sta tions and make the required examina tion without any charge to the owner, the state or community. Every leading motor organization, commercial and civic bodies, insur ance companies and railroads have expressed their willingness to cooper ate in the Save-A-Life movement. The Save-A-Life campagn is really an intensive effort to cut down the accident rate in Nebraska and to make the state a model in this respect. The campaign is directed solely against reckless driving and the mechanical defects that are apt to dJevelop in the safety factors in cars and trucks under service conditions, because such de fects are one of the leading causes of motor accidents. It is the belief of automobile authorities throughout the United States that if all motor ve hicles could tie quickly and easily con trolled by their drivers the accident rate would rapidly diminish. “The | Save-A-Life Campaign is a national i movement in this direction amt Ne ; braska should take a leading role," ! the Secretary said The official method of the cum ! paign and of the inspection will be as ' follows: 1— Every automobile and truck in! the state to be inspected by a compe-! I tent mechanic in a reliable service! ' station to be designated and appoint- j I ed with approval of the Motor Vehicle Department, and if the car or truck is found unsafe or to have mechanical defect it must be put into safe condi-! tion before an official inspection tag will be issued to the owrner. 2— Official inspection stickers will be issued to all cars and trucks that have been examined and found to be in good condition or that have been put into good condition after being examined and found to need adjust ment. 3— In order to remove any possible! cause for resentment, inconvenience, hardship or loss of time on the part of the automobile or truck owner, this inspection will be made abso lutely free of charge at official in spection station, and the vehicle owner is at liberty to choose any official station he prefers. 4— Any adjustment or repair found necessary to insure safe operation may, at the owner’s order and with his permission, be charged for at the usual rate of charge for such me chanical service by the station. Any agreement in this connection is solely between the vehicle owner and the in spection station. 5— Brakes, horns, lights, steering mechanism and mirrors will be the chief points of inspection. 6— Brakes will be tested as follows: 2 wheel brakes car going 20 miles per | | hour must stop in 50 feet. 4 wheel I brakes car goin g20 miles per hour must stop in 35 feet. Emergency brakes car going 20 miles per hour must stop in 75 feet. Trucks over three tons going 20 miles per hour must stop in 75 feet by foot brake. Tn noun o Krolro to<t inir mflfhittn is used the equivalent of above is re quired. 7— Horns shall be tested by pressing the horn button and determining whether the signal is prompt and gives sufficient warning. 8— Lights shall be tested as fol lows: Bulbs in headlights shall be checked for conformity to state law. Bulbs showing signs of blackening or a whitish discoloration inside the glass are insufficient and should be dSscarded. All bulbs which are burned out or missing must be rtnlaced. L’ghtr must have proper lens and the reflector must be bright. All tail lamps ?must have a red lenso. 9— Steering mechanisms must be examined, in all their wearing parts These wearing parts must appear io be sufficient}’ strong to avoid any possibility of breaking under ordinary conditidns, thus causing an accident. 10— Windshield wipers (if auto matic or «lectric) must operate suffi ciently to give clear vision at all times; (if manual) the rubber “sweeps” shall be insuch condition as to clear the glass properly. 11— Truck mirrors are to be in spected to make sure that they are in such condition and so placed as to give good rear visibility. The cooperation of the motoring public is earnestly requested to make the Save-A-Life Campaign a great success, and in the interest of public safety every car and truck in Nebras ka should be wearing its official in spection.* emblem of civic cooperation and mechanical good order by August ! 25, when the campaigns ends. The fire department was called to the J. M. Seybold residence last Sat urday evening. Jim was burning some brush when someone turned in the alarm. Strawberries at their best You will learn how good strawberries really can be when you eat them with Shredded Wheat. For breakfast, lunch or supper this food combination is the best treat of the season* The distinctive flavor of crisp, toasted whole wheat blends wonderfully with the milk and the fruit. It’s an easily digested food combination too. Shredded Wheat is nothing but selected whole wheat, shredded and thor oughly baked. And with twelve full size biscuits in every package it's an eco nomical food as well. Made by Hie Shredded Wheat Company MRS. ELIZA JACKSON.

A sharp advance in the price of snake skins has been announced and many have to go without snake skin hatbands and belt as the result of a series of casualties in the bullsnake herd of Jim Triggs, prominent Bea ver Flats snake ranchman, the past month. A number of Triggs’ largest and best bullsnakes, including the leader of the herd, have died from eat ing turtle eggs. The bullsnake ranch of Triggs, located on the outskirth of Roovor VIsits; orp nf t.hp lari^pst. in the country and is devoted entirely to supplying hatbands and belts to the movie trade and souvenir shops of the West, a special breed of bullsnakes that sheds its skin at more frequent intervals than the ordinary snake having been developed after a number of years of scientific experimentation. The snakes during the warm months are fed almost exclusively on a diet of eggs, the eggs having been found to impart a luster to the skin almost equaling a handrubbed varnish. Re cently while fishing on the Calamus River south of here Triggs discovered a number of nests of turtle eggs in the sands along the stream banks and gathered them up to use as snake feed in an effort to reduce the snake ranch overhead. The bullsnakes at once evinced! a fondness for the turtle eggs, which are rounder, smaller and more easy to swallow than a chicken egg. and partook heartily of the new diet. Unfortunatly, however, the digest ive fluids of the snakes were not of sufficient strength to dissolve the tough egg skins and after a time the eggs began to incubate and the little turtles to hatch. Then as soon as they had gained strength the little turtles in their search for uir and light began to nibble their way through the bodies of their hosts, set ting up un ulceration from which the snakes soon succumbed.
