Children Hurled Through Car Top Mason described the crash to the jury of seven men and five women. "Mrs. Pantages' car hit It across the street and rammed almost head ojv into the smaller car. The Japanese car shot up Into the air. It seemed as though it sort of blew up.

"I hurried. If Just as I reached the curb I heard a crash. I glanced up quickly and covered my eyes. I stood there for a while until I could get control of myself. I was afraid to look." Not Concerned in i Injury of Others 1 The eight persons In the Roku- I moto automobile were hurled to the street by the impact, witnesses have i testified.

Mrs. Clarke said that she finally 1 moved toward the scene of the ac- I cident. In the courtroom she point- ed to Mrs. Pantages as the" driver of the larger car. "Her eyes were drowsy," she tcs- dia.

These qualities alone have made It supreme as a jewel since early times, and yet the real brilliancy of the stone is not. displayed until It has been faceted by the art of lapidary; and this was scarcely developed before' the year 1746.

In the mlddlo ages the Diamond was known as the "pietra della reconcillasione" or the peacemaker between husband and wife. History.

Her evenings she spends pretty much as she has always spent them during campaigns, riding around with the major from one meeting to another making notes, throwing in a suggestion here and a hint there, and, as she puts it, "remembering the things he forgets." And all of those things she thoroughly enjoys.

Small Town Banker Admits He Was Chump to Try Huge Fraud (Continued from Page One) To Inquiries by Chief of Vehicle Department (By Associated Press) SACRAMENTO, Sept. 11. Answering questions of Frank G. Snook, chief of the motor vehicle division, regarding punishments and suspension of operators licenses under the 1929 traffic code revisions, Attorney General U. S.

Webb issued a blanket decision to day on reckless and intoxicated driving cases. The attorney general ruled that a court cannot revoke an operator's license save upon a second convic tion for driving," while intoxicated. Upon such second conviction the court can do nothing else but re voke the license. A suspension for one year is mandatory with the court on a first conviction. In reckless driving cases the court set an ascending scale of sus-.

pensions. On the first conviction suspension will follow for 30 days, on the second for 60 days and on the third for one year. The court may also require that the defendants not operate an automobile for the given periods. The request by Snook for a de cision came after complaints from various sections of the state that courts were either handling traffic cases too leniently or were placing excessive suspensions and revoking licenses on first convictions.
