extracted text (Extract Text): With partial naval disarmament as-sured, condemned shells are being put to a constructive use at many U. S. Naval Stations. At the Naval Proving Grounds, Indian Head, Md., 12-inch shells are now used as buffer guides to keep trucks in the right path in entering the garage. As they are set to a depth of about a foot in concrete, there is little danger of a truck striking the building. At the same station, other shells are used at street intersections as curb markers to keep careless drivers from injuring the grass.
Reckless auto drivers are to be called "Flivver-boobs" according to the judges in the American Automobile Association's contest to pick the best name for the reckless driver.
