ROAD TRAFFIC STUDIED.
Travel Conditions Should Govern
the Type of ANY Highway.

While ii is travel that wears out a
road, very few people have an idea of
the actual amount of travel on any
given highway. Local officials some
times report that travel is heavy on a
road when not more than half a dozen
light vehicles pass a given point in an
hour. Sometimes they will report
travel as light when, as a matter of
fact, the roads are being torn to pieces
by a few heavy trucks engaged in con-
tinuous service on the roads. This
travel is really a very important factor
among the conditions that govern the
proper choice of the type of construc-
ton for a road. For instance, there
was a we'll known road in Massachu-
settS which was put in condition that
served admirably for the quite numer-
using 1t. One summer it was noticed
that it was going to pieces rapidly and
the reason was sought. Finally. by
making twenty four-hour counts of all
the users of the roads. it was found
that very heavy wagons had recently
been put on the road to haul ice. Such
travel required a modification in the
construction of the road. which was
made when repairs became necessary
and resulted in returning the road to
it's satisfactory condition.
AS no really satisfactory planning of
roads can be done without definite
knowledge of the use made of them,
many of the children in the country
schools Of Illinois are now being train
ed to make enunerations of the vehi-
cles on roads in their neighborhood,

Polishing Is Necessary.
Much of it's lustrous appearance or
lack of luster is due to the manner Of
polishing it from time to time. You
would not think of letting a valuable
piece Of furniture go for a long period
of time without applying a good fur
niture polish to 1t, and then rubbing
it afterward.
The same thing can very wisely be
done to the body of the car. There are
a number of good polishes on the mar
ket which are intended not only for
furniture polishing but for polishing
the body of the car as well.
II an owner would have his car look
ing as well as his furniture. periodic
cleaning. and polishing are necessary. To
expect a highly polished car to keep its
Iuster indefinitely after being used in
all sorts Of weather is asking the i'm
possible. However, a reasonable amount
Of care by the car owner can do much
toward keeping the body luster as
nearly as like that of a new car as pos
sIble. The market at present affords
numerous cleaners and polishers which
are quite inexpensive and show re-
markedly good results. The paste or
wax polishes, as they are called. are
perhaps used to a greater extent than
the liquids. The majority of the paste
polishes use carnauba wax as a base.
This wax is obtained from Brazil,
where certain trees excrete a dark
liquid from their leaves.

New London, Sept. 12.-Wilson re-
malned near his sister, Mrs. Anna E.
Howe, whose serious illness called the
president here yesterday. The presi-
dents plans depend on the outcome OF
her illness. Her condition today is re-
ported unchanged.
The president plans to return to
Long Branch on the naval yacht May
flower, but the date of his departure
will depend on the condition Of Mrs
Howe. The Mayflower has been or
dered to New London.
At New Haven, on the trip from
New York yesterday, the president was
met by Howard Elliott head of the
New Haven road, who expressed SYM
pathy regarding Mr.. Wilson's sister.
II had hoped" said the president,
ITO get a few days of rest at Long
Branch, but apparently nothing works
that way"
The president thanked Mr.. Elliott
for rushing a private car to New York
for him and the two discussed railroad
conditions for several minutes. Thirty
or forty employees of the road then
filed past, shaking hands with the ex-
|ecutive.
On the trip from New York to New
Haven, the president talked politics
with Homer S. Cummings, vice chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee, Mr.. Cummings and Vance C.
Mccormick, chairman of the commit
tee, are planning to meet the president
in Long Branch next Monday. Mr.
Wilson took under consideration an in
vitation extended by Mr.. Cummings to
make speeches in several places.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE danger OF
a great strike to help enforce the de-
mands of the striking traction en-
ployes seemed remote today in view of
the statement that the only unions
likely to be involved in such a move
ment are those directly concerned with
the operation Of street cars.
The state organizer Of the American
Federation of Labor. who made the
assertion, said if sympathetic strike
is called, it probably would not involve
over $4,000 workers. ."-'
After a night of intermittent rioting
the motormen of one elevated road re-
ported they were fired upon by strik-
ers from roofs. Woman passengers
were struck on the head by thrown
missiles and seriously injured, in a
bombardment of bricks from roof tops.
Violence continued as the day
progressed. Strikers and sympathizers
halted surface cars and set upon
crews of strike breakers when the
latter refused to desert their posts.
