Law to Maintain the Work.

The states that will not play the game
will not share in the appropriation. what
ever that is But neither Uncle Sam nor
any such undertaking if there were not
ample security in the law to maintain
the work after it has been done. This is
why the distribution and expenditure of
the money appropriated by Congress for
good roads have been placed in the hands
of the Secretary of Agriculture and why
he will depend in large measure upon the
efficiency and experience of the United
States office of good roads and rural
engineering. which has evoluted out of
the old Office Of road inquiry. in justify
ing federal participation in the construc-
tiOn of good roads.

In the interest of safety and to expe-
dite the movement of traffic il was
contended that the signals should be
shown both on the front and rear so s
to indicate clearly and in Il positive
manner to traffic officers pedestrians
and drivers and drivers of other vehi-
cles. exactly what movement the car
will make.
1t was contended by the committee
that signals to indicate the course of a
car formed necessary a part of the
equipment the lights. horn. chains or
fire eXtinguisher. this being especially
true owing TO the use of closed or cur
tained cars during rainy weather and
in wintry months, when it il impossible
to signal by hand.
During the past year many commend
able signal devices have been placed
upon the market and have proven
popular with automobile owners de-
sirous of protecting their cars from
collision, which are directly attributed
to the quick stops and sudden changes

when such signals will be required by

given TO this subject in Portland, Ore,

The use of mechanical "r electrical
signaling devices on automobiles. SO as
to Indicate the course of a car. was one
OF the important recommendations
adopted at meeting of the street traf-
fic committee of the Safety First Fed
Grafton of America held recently in
Cincinnati. Ohio
Such devices were considered by thu
police officials of many important cities
who were in attendance at the meet
ing as necessity upon closed or cur
tanned cars and their use on automo-
biles generally was commended in view
of the tra;Hc congestion in the larger
cities and in consideration of the enor-
NOUS production of automobiles an
nounced by the manufacturers for the
present year
In the belief that automobile signal
devices will increase in popularity, Il
plan was considered to provide for uni

Present Policy Unsatisfactory.

I'm his last. annual report Z. A. Stew
ems. state highway commissioner of
New Jersey. says. very truly. that our
present road building policy was not
but for entirely different conditions.
The traffic has changed the methods of
transportation are altogether unlike
what they We're when til" battle of
BrandyWine was fought: it takes heav-
Ter construction to stand the strain Of
auto truck and motor car than was re
Quired in the undiSputed days of the
OK cart and the farm wagon. and II is
for the traffic that the roads must be
built. State Highway Engineer Meeker
of New Jersey makes this plain in his
report when he says: The road work of
the state during the past year has been
largely one of repavinc and realigninE
roads formerly macadamized. The ex-
increasing motor traffic. has compelled
of higher resistance to disintegration
than macadam.
1T is clear as day that the improve
ment of roads cannot be accomplished
without improved supervision. Their
adm nistration has become a business.
and we must handle it in business
like way. We cannot afford any ANA
teur trifling in our engineering. nor any
political interference in the admins
tration of our roads. We must have a
force that. by its trained ability and
thorough teamwork. will command the
confidence of the public
