Fine, Jail, or Both In New Auto Law Penalties Effective August 14th For Failure to Report Injury in Mishaps A fine or jail sentence, or both fine and jail sentence, await any motorist in California who, after having an accident in which a person is killed or hurt, fails to properly report it to the authorities. This, in effect, is what the newly amended section 142 of the California Vehicle Act states. This section becomes a law, going into effect August 14, next. What Law Says on Reports The law says that the driver of a motor vehicle involved in an accident is the proper person to report it, but if the driver is injured or killed, some other passenger in the car shall make the report. The failure of either the driver or some other occupant to report may bring the penalty above stated on either or both persons. Motor vehicle accidents in which no persons are injured or killed do NOT have to be reported. In other words, the law does not require that reports be made of motor vehicle accidents which involve property damage only. However, a report must be made in case of a personal injury, no matter how slight the extent of the injury. Reports on Collisions In collisions between two or more motor vehicles, the driver, or if the driver is unable, a passenger in each of the several cars must make a report. It is not sufficient for the occupants in merely one of the cars to report for all vehicles involved. Section 142 also requires that in cases where a motor vehicle is involved in a collision with a railroad train, electric car, stage, or other common carrier, the common carrier as well as the motorist must report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Heretoref.

It is not sufficient for the occupants in merely one of the cars to report for all vehicles involved. Section 142 also requires that in cases where a motor vehicle is involved in a collision with a railroad train, electric car, stage, or other common carrier, the common carrier as well as the motorist must report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Heretofore, the common carriers reported such accidents only to the State Railroad Commission. Report to Highway Patrol Motor vehicle accident reports may be made to any police official having jurisdiction at the place where the accident occurred, or may be sent to the California Highway Patrol at Sacramento. Such reports have to be made within 24 hours after the accident, and if not so made, the person or persons responsible for making the report are guilty of a violation of the law. If the report is made to a police official, the law requires that the police official forward the same to the State Department of Motor Vehicles at Sacramento in due course. For Confidential Use One important factor of the new accident report law is that the report is strictly for the confidential use of the Department of Motor Vehicles. These reports can not be used as evidence in court for any purpose whatsoever. The intention of keeping the reports confidential is to encourage motorists to write a truthful statement of facts so that a real scientific analysis of the cause of the accident may be made, from which the most practical accident prevention measures may be adopted. Heretofore, some persons in making out accident reports have failed to give accurate information concerning the cause of the accident, fearing that by stating the conditions fully they would render themselves liable to a charge of negligence in court. The interest of the Bureau of Research, Statistics and Traffic Safety at Sacramento is solely to find the true cause of accidents and to develop practical remedies.

Paris has, as you doubtless know, signified her approval of all white flowers and the smartest of this sort are made of eyelet embroidered cotton. There are charming double poppy boutonnieres of white eyelet embroidery made with patent leather leaves. The poppies are always white but you may have the leaves white, brown, navy blue or black. You may buy these eyelet flowers at almost any store, or you may make them yourself. Cut the petals, from fine eyelet embroidered batiste or eyelet embroidered pique—which is easier to handle, perhaps. Make four or five petals-like the pattern—or larger, but of that shape. Gather them slightly along the straight edges and fasten together with a center of black beads or yellow French knots. The world's longest bus route is operated in Africa, running from Juba to Capetown. It takes two weeks to make the 4900 mile trip.

Play Movement Wins Country National Recreation Association Guides Sports of 3,000.-000 Daily A heap of yellow sand dumped in the yard of a Boston church is said to have started the public playground movement that has today developed into 13,000 playgrounds or play areas in various parts of the United States, with a daily attendance of 3,000,000 persons. Activities as ambitious as trap-shooting and ping pong are now placed within the reach of all classes through the National Recreation Association working with cities, towns and suburban communities, in an effort to provide recreation for the masses, says Diana Rice in the New York Times. 10,000,000 Games of Golf More than 10,000,000 games of golf were played on public golf links during the season of 1929, for the public playground, formerly confined to half a city lot, has grown until it often covers from ten to twenty acres. Starting with children's playgrounds, the movement has expanded to include athletics, music drama, art, nature study and other pursuits for the spare time of men and women. The outdoor pageant, May Day fete and civic celebration utilize increasingly the public playground for seasonal displays. Twenty-five Years Old The association is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Its history is the history of the development of this country's public playgrounds. When, on April 12, 1906, a group of men and women met in Washington to organize the Playground Association of America, now become the National Recreation Association, only forty-one communities were prepared to maintain play areas under its leadership; now the number is nearly a thousand. As early as 1885 social workers and public-spirited citizens retired farmers took to it as ducks to a quiet pond. Brooklyn has a popular bowling green and other near-by cities report activity among outdoor bowlers. Cricket is another well-liked game, especially among ships' officers, and Elizabeth, N.J., reports many visiting players from English ships when crews have a few days' leisure. Landscaping Develops Landscaped features of the country's public playgrounds increase in beauty and lavishness each year. Lakes are enlarged for boating and old swamps are drained to make swimming pools. Westchester county's swimming pool in Tibbetts Brook is outstanding in equipment and size among many similar ones. Westchester county has also emphasized the cultural side in its public recreation centers, where handicraft is encouraged and painting, sketching and cartooning are sponsored and taught. The work of the National Recreation Association has increased as the play movement has spread. Today it acts as a center of information and service for city recreation departments and other groups through the country, who are working for home and community play. It serves communities and individuals both by personal contact and by mail. So important a place does public recreation occupy in the mind of the nation that a national recreation school now turns out college-graduates picked for certain qualities of leadership. 23,000 Recreation Leaders These recreation leaders have increased from 4,000 in 1969 to approximately 23,000 in 1930, and the demand for trained workers to take over recreation positions is steadily increasing. Teachers for handicraft and nature study, supervisors for dramatic work and music leaders for mountain camps and school recreation centers have today replaced the former untrained volunteer playground worker. Farmers Will View Water Saving Plants The Agricultural Extension Service will hold a field day on Thursday, August 6, for the purpose of giving farm plant about 8,500,000 gallons of sewage is going through the process of recalibration with the manufacture of fertilizer as a by-product. The work at this point will be explained by Mr. Hooper, city engineer of Pasadena. At 2:00 p.m. a stop at the Pomona sewage outlet plant will be made, where the process being used at this place will be explained. F. C. Froehde, city engineer, will be in charge. The fourth stop will be at the Whittier sewage farm, south of Whittier. Engineer Bowen of Twenty-five Years Old The association is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Its history is the history of the development of this country's public playgrounds. When, on April 12, 1906, a group of men and women met in Washington to organize the Playground Association of America, now become the National Recreation Association, only forty-one communities were prepared to maintain play areas under its leadership; now the number is nearly a thousand. As early as 1885 workers and public-spirited citizens had discussed ways and means to make play areas safe for small children who had no playground but the street. But it was only slowly that dirty backyards blossomed into clean play yards. Chicago set a precedent by establishing well-equipped playgrounds and field houses in one of its parks, in 1903, and by taxing itself $10,000,000 for park and playground purposes in the next two years. Playgrounds in Other Cities Cities that had held back were now quick to follow Chicago's lead. In the next four years eighty-three of them established playgrounds. Today more than a thousand cities have not one, but a dozen playgrounds each; Detroit boasts 100 separate play parks, athletic fields and recreation centers, set apart for the public. The scope of today's public playground and recreation center is so varied it is hard to find any form of self-expression missing from its program. Pupils in an up-to-date elementary school have a playfield of five acres; junior and senior high school students play football on a field four times that size, a field frequently shared with the community that supports the high school. Small Boys at Play No longer is the small boy content to shoot marbles and play checkers in leisure hours. Today on his playground he is building and flying model airplanes. Sail boats are built and raced on many playfields where waterways encourage youth in aquatic sports. Stilt contests, too, are popular, according to playground directors, who claim there is a revival of old games both among young and old players. The sport of tossing horseshoes has been rejuvenated. The game of lawn bowls, introduced from Canada not long ago, is now popular on public playfields from California to Florida; Farmers Will View Water Saving Plants The Agricultural Extension Service will hold a field day on Thursday, August 6, for the purpose of giving farmers and others who are interested in the subject an opportunity of visiting several sewage reclamation plants in Los Angeles, according to announcement from H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor representing the University of California in Orange county. The program will be as follows: Meet at the Experimental Reclamation plant at Griffith Park, Thursday, August 6, at 9:30 a.m. Engineer R. F. Goudey will be present to explain the process being used at this plant. At 11:00 a.m. the tour will arrive at the Tri-City plant at Alhambra.
