The young man was in the wrong. The young lady had signalled for a left turn, then started to turn just as he started to pass her on the left-and the collision. The facts were plain. She looked at her humbled car, then at the young man.

Seek Suspension oF Increased Cargo Rate Methods of Preventing Fires Discussed to Atlantic Coagt and Gulf Ports

Seattle, Wash.-The General Marine Committee of the West Coast Lumbermen's Association h'as voted to petition the United States Shipping Board Bureau for suspension of the increased cargo rate on lumber shipments from the Pacific Northwest to Atlantic Coast and Gulf Coast ports published to become effective on July 1, according to an announcement issued by R. E. Seeley, chairman of the committee. The new rate is $13 per thousand feet, representing an increase of 50 cents per thousand feet over the present rate. The competition of British Columbia mills, which ship lumber to the East Coast on a much lower rate, was given as one of the reasons for seeking the rate suspenion.

The comm'ittee voted also to cooperate with the steamship lines in developing uniform regulations and practices to apply to the handling of West Coast lumber cargo shipments, and to compile a water traffi'c book covering rules and regulations with respect to cargo movement of lumber.
