In Midland town number of
persons were fined for striking

night of an air raid The offense
may appear to be trivial one on the
face of 1t, but 1t is really not SO, says
u writer in Flight. In a recent series
of visibility tests with certain kinds of
light IL was noted that on dark night
the light of an ordinary match was
easily visible at distance OF mile
Hostile aircraft do not, as a rule, lily
at as low an altitude as mile, and on
the basis of the test just noted the
striking of n single match would be
without import. But, according TO
the evidence of police superln-

were all eXtinguished during the raid.
there was almost as much light as
though they had been lit. owing to peo-
pie striking matches to light pipes and
cigarettes.

In the st. Nicholas Magazine Hide

Miss Hawthorne quotes:

When city or county or state de-

the function of road to carry traffic

as possible.
"Cheaply" does not mean in the cost
of building and maintaining the road,
but the relation of the total expense

which is the road cost to carry ton

"In order to arrive at the ton-mile
