NEW ENGLAND ROADS BAD.
Report on Them Issued by Maine
Auto Association.

Road conditions throughout northern
New England are bad and will be for
the next few days according to a re-
port issued last week by the touring
bureau of the Maine Automobile Asso-
citation. This is due to the recent
heavy rainfall. which in several locali-
ties almost assumed the proportions
of n cloudburst.
Road crews have been working night
and day to repair the breaks and the
return to normal conditions will be
possible in very few days. Where
bridges have been washed out tempo
rary ones will be constructed. The
greater part of the damage Is in the
shape of washed-out roads. over which
traffic may pass. but which should be
done so with care
Throughout Maine the roads are
badly washed in many localities. but
nearly all of the main thoroughfares
are passable. Motorists. however
should travel slowly and cautiously for
the next ten days at least.

PERPETUAL LICENSES
URGED BY AUTO PAPER
Motor Age Suggests Advantages to
Be Gained by Keeping Same
Number Year After Year.

A suggestion that could be applied in
every state in the Union with much
success is made by Motor Age regard
Ing automobile license plates The
ma gazine urges the use of perpetual
licenses on which the year numbers
only would be changed.
"A license number on a motor car
serves several purposes. but it is not
put to its greatest use and will not be
until it becomes perpetual and is made
as much part of the car as is the
engine or the rear axle. So much is
heard about prevention of car thefts
that 1t is peculiar some action has not
been taken to make the license number
put fear into the heart of the car thief
by making the license plate perpetual
and one number serving one car and
one car only during the life of a car.
Some of the advantages of per-
petual number plate are these: 1t
numbers because there would be no
necessity for change except when a
license plate was lost. and then the
applicant would have to prove~ewner-
ship before he could get duplicate. A
new car would be given q number and
would carry it Indefinitely. If some
color Identification for the year was
thought advisable then a small tag
that would carry the year and state
abbreviation could he turned over to
the car owner each year when he paid
his license fee. but he would. retain
the same number.
Absence of a license tag would be
reason enough for an officer to demand
that the car operator show his owner
ship. A person could not obtain a
license for any but a new car once the
plan was put into effect and all cars
numbered. He would have to give
rather detailed information on his car
to get license and there should be a
department in each county seat to
handle the licensing of cars. A car
thief would find it impossible to steal a
car, secrete it and apply for a new tag.
for his only excuse would be that he
had lost his tag and the only number
he could get for that car would be a
would report the loss and his license
number. Any attempt to get duplicate
number would mark the thief.
Each state could effect a material
saving in the manufacture or purchase
Of tags. With the perpetual number
license plate, the year and state part
of the tag could be turned out very
cheaply, as all of these would be alike
instead of each tag requiring differ
ent number when manufactured. The
license fee could be the same each
year, and by making the year and state
plate of a different color each year
check would be easy on those who had
and had not paid their tax.
This plan of licensing would make

THE GUY WHO CAN NEVER

Dear Folks:
Yesterday liz Josie named Estelle
Erhmentrout writ Lon. an asked TIL
kid II he wouldn't scribble somethin'
that might be Of benefit to them who
positively refused to pay any attention
tn good. sound advice.
It appears that Estelle's brother,
Eustace Erhmentrout, who Is a chauf-
feur by trade. Is continually gettin'
himself into some kind O. mess. "Fust"
has been SWITCHED four times for reck-
less drivin'. and tn last time he was up
tn Judge not only fined him 100 "crul-
lers' for speedin' his f1ivver, but told
him that If he ever come before him
again it would sure be a case Of inside

TIL liz girls letter had a deep effect
upon Lon. an he set up to tn wee sma'
hours dopin' out tn followin', which he
hopes will reach Eustace when his

Virginia Road to Be Ready Soon,

According to State Highway Commits
sioner George P. Coleman OF Virginia.
It will be about thirty days before the
state highway through Chopawamsic
swamp Is completed and ready for use
by automobilists in all kinds of
weather. Mr.. Coleman recently made a
trip over the bad section of two
miles. on the Washington-R Richmond
highway. and the contractor in charge
then assured him that tho work would
be pushed on the road and would be-
completed IN fifteen days. Mr.. Coleman.
however. places the time for complet-
ing the road at thirty days. This will
be good news to automobile drivers.

OIL SUPPLIES DECREASING.
Conservation Of Resources vitality
Necessary, Says Van H. Manning.

Conservation Of the crude oil re-
sources of the country is vitality neces-
sary. according to Van H. Manning. d.
rector of the United States bureau Of
mines. In the face of a tremendously
increasing demand the supply Of oil
and gasoline is decreasing.
Mr.. Manning called attention to tho
fact that Great Britain had found 1t
necessary to curtail the use Of gasoline
for other than army uses, and that such
curtailment was a possibility in this
country.
It is expected that the production in
1917 Will be less than that in 1916. and
as result ii is estimated that 10000. 000
barrels must be taken from the reserve
of 150.000.000 barrels left over from
last year. AS an example of the in
creased demand for fuel. Mr.. Manning
pointed out that the horsepower devel-
oped by internal combustion engines
had increased 100 per cent in two years.
To meet the situation Mr. Manning
urged the use of other fuels and better
methods of production. In this con-
nection he mentioned that considerable
progress had been made in the use of
the cracking process, by which the
yield of gasoline from crude petroleum
had been considerably increased.

Factors to Be Considered.

Among the factors to be taken into
consideration are loading, tonnage,
speed. and number of vehicles. A bridge
which could not carry in excess of hve
tons Of concentrated load without dam
ger of failure might without any UNI
due strain safely carry 100 tons uni
formly distributed over the floor ana
the panels Of the truss system. A road
could be designed to carry the heaviest
artillery and. by a proper distribution
Of weights, subject the road to no
greater strain than the average motor
truck seen daily on many of the public
highways.
Speed is an element which should
enter into road design, and 1t is impor-
tant also for the public safety. Given
a maximum rate of speed, the average
speed can be approximated and the
number Of vehicles which the road can
safely carry can be computed. For in
stance. IL the average speed Of all We
hicles on highway was twenty miles
an hour. then a vehicle would pass over
LOO feet in one minute, and with an
average spacing of vehicles of 400 feet,
then there would be four vehicles a
minute. or 240 per hour, or 2,400 in a
ten-hour day.
again, merely to illustrate and not to
give exact figures, it might be stated
that double width road-that is, one
with fifteen or sixteen feet of road
metal-would carry maximum of say
$500 vehicles a day. passing in either
or both directions. When that number
was exceeded. 1t would be necessary to
construct wider road or to establish
parallel roads"

Mrs. Kingsbury Wins Contest.

The Maxwell owners economy test.

much more simple the mechanics Of
registration. thereby directing that
much more of the license fees to road
work. Records would be simpler. and
given a car to prove the ownership. as
already, stated. no tag but duplicate
could retain the car"

ANOTHER ROAD NEEDED
ACROSS YORK STATE
A. A. A. Board Wants Two High
ways From Buffalo to Gotham
Through Center Of Commonwealth.

Traffic in New York state has in
creased so tremendously as result
of the connected highways improve
ment that a single road will not suf-
| flee from Buffalo to New York, pass
i ing through. the center and serving the
| larger Cities" asserts Chairman George
, c. Diehl of the A. A. A. good roads
| board, who then goes on to say that
the state highway department Will nave
! to get busy on it's plan much sooner
than contemplated in providing Tor
/ two continuous routes from Lake Erie
| to Rochester. Syracuse, Utica. Albany
and the metropolis.
There are many advantages OF a
| parallel system. particularly at times
when portions Of road are oiled or
| when reconstruction makes detours
necessary" urges the a. A.. A. ofhclai.
who thus presents other road problems:
The time has arrived when denni,e
regulations of speed and loading should
be adopted, so that all bridges. cui,
verts and highways might be designed
and constructed in such manner that
the greatest economy and maximum
{: convenience to the traVeilns pun
lie would be effected.
Tonnage of commodities and num-
Der of passengers and Of vehicles are
important elements in determining me
general subject of road economies. cost
of road improvement expressed in DOL
lars per mile is Outlines misleading
One road may carry thousands of tons.
while another carries but hundreds one
road may do no passenger business.
while another may be a main avenue
over which a large part of a business
community is transported daily. One
road may. during the outdoor season
Of the year. be filled with pleasure
seekers; another road may scarcely ac-
commodate any tourists. Some ROADS
are used entirely for commercial pur-
poses; others entirely by pleasure seek
ers Generally, roads are used poth
ways.
the alternate freezing and thaw1ns.
and, If subjected to considerable
travel. then must be constructed more
durably and at greater cost than would
otherwise be the case. 1t is interesting
to note in passing that the least ex-
pensive roads to construct or to main
tain and the ones which most easily
can be kept in almost perfect condition
are those used exclusively by tourists
It was the exception rather than the
rule to design highway improvement
scientifically, and it is only since auto
mobiles have increased so rapidly that
the need of more careful and possibly
more expensive construction is so ap-
parent.

CHRIS. F. EVENS IN RACE: 4. !. :
: FOR CITY COMMISSIONER

Among the candidates filing for
city commissioner this week is G.. E.
Evens, the well-known local con-
tractor, popularity known as Chris"
by his many friends. Mr.. Evans states
that if he is elected it will be his ambi-
ton to become director Of the division
Of public utilities, and it is a laudable
ambition, for no man is so richly
equipped by training and experience to
manage the municipal water and gas
plants as is Mr.. Evens.
The Labor World has always warm
spot in it's editorial heart for Chris
Evens. We knew him in the days
when he wore overalls and earned his
living as carpenter. Before going
into the contracting business he was
member Of the local Carpenters union
and served that organization as it's
president at the time he honorably
withdrew from the union. He led the
fight for the first eight-hour move
ment launched in this city by the Car
penters' union and has been q good
fighter ever since. His belief in organ
lied labor and his friendship for union
labor remains as in the olden days. He
has never permitted his position as an
employer to change his opinions on
social and economic questions
When filing for commissioner Mr..
Evens gave out the following inter-
view:
II am yielding to the request of
large number of friends in filing for
city commissioner. If elected it will
be my ambition to become director of
the division of public utilities, and I
will aim to keep the water and light
department free from politics and all
political influences, partisan or other
wise. Ever since the city acquired the
water and light plants the commits
sioners of the department, and later
Mr.. Merritt, have successfully pre-
vented the Introduction Of politics in
the management of the department.
Municipal ownership can never pro-
duce good results to the people under
politics. The merit system will apply
throughout should I succeed in be-
coming head Of the department.
II have been a resident of Duluth
for 80 years and at one time served
the old Second ward in the common
