That will be the experience of Med ford realdent next Friday, according to Charlie O. Purnaa, local dealer for the Ooodyear Tire 4t Rubber Co. The demonstration, which will be conducted on South Rlveralde between Nlntb atreet and Stewart avenue, ac cording to Mr. pumas, will conclus ively prove that blowout need cause no damage whatever. They will show, he aaya, that a speeding car may be brought to a aafe stop after a blow out, with the driver In complete con trol at all times. Instead of crashing Into the ditch or oncoming traffic The hours of the Interesting and unique demonstration will be 10:00 a. m. and 2:00 p. m. Secret of the demonstration Is the fact that the cars will be mounted on Ooodyear LlfeOunrd tubes, Mr. Furnas said. The UgeOuard tube la In reality a tire within a tube. An out er conventional tube contains an "Inner tire." both being Jointed at the base. A single tiny vent allows air to pass from the outer tube to the Inner tire, and when blowout occurs, air escapes Instantly from the outer tube, but can escape from the Inner tire only through the tiny vent. This means that the outside casing drops about an Inch to ride on the Inner tire, while the driver brlnga the car to a aafe atop without a swerve. Huge railway spikes mounted on a flat plate which Is laid In the path of the onrushlng car provides one meana of blowing out tires, dynamite caps that rip casings wide open pro Tides another, "Motorists of this City, as well as very other section of the country, are becoming more and more aafety onsclous." Mr. Furnas said. "Llfe Quard tubes have proved themselves to be one of the greatest contribu tions to highway safety In a decade, have prevented many an accident that might possibly hava resulted In Injury, or death." p OLDEN OATH International ei- position, scheduled to opon early In 1939, Is rapidly taking form, as shown above. The Ford V-8 pictured was the first car not owned or op erated by construction company em ploye! to arrive on the man-made Island In San Francisco Bay, which Is to be the site of the exposition. The world fair, which will cost f 15. 000,000, run 288 days and la expect ed tg attract 80,000,000 persons, will oelebrate completion of the two great bridges across San Francisco Bay and the Golden date. The "Is land from the Sea" will have an area of about 400 acres, will bejenclrcled by a protective wall and will have extensive slips for ferry boats. Ma terial excavated In tunneling through Verba Buena Island for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge Is being used In the filling. Congress has provided 11,500,000 for the federal government's par ticipation In the fair. One of the buildings to be erected by the fair directors will be a Hall of Western States.

LOCAL and PERSONAL STATE JUDICIARY SALEM, Sept. 4. (AP) A far iMchjng realignment of prosecuting division of the Oregon Judiciary was proposed today by W. L. Ooaalln, a member or the state parole board, In a letter to Governor Martin, to whom OoMlln alio Is private secre tary. The proposal calls for the crea tion of a state department of Jus tice, which would be auxiliary to municipal enforcement as the state police augment municipal police. The attorney-general would ad minister the department with dis triot attorneys serving by appoint ment of the governor and instead of being confined to a single dis trict, they would be appointed at large and be available for service In any part of the atat. Oosslln said that with the ex ception of several populous counties there were relatively few criminal oases In the circuit courts and that a considerable saving could be ac complished by grouping of counties Into Judicial districts with district attorneys being summoned as they were needed.
