GOVERNMENT ASKED TO HELP
Of Roads Demanded BY condi-

THAT the effective conduct Of the
war demands immediate attention to
proper construction and maintenance
Of the highways Of the country Is q
plain statement Of facts" asserts
Chairman George p. Coleman Of the
American Association OF State High
way Officials.
Never before has there been such
urgent need Of a comprehensive and
definite policy for road and street con-
struction and maintenance as Is the
case at present. and. In making their
request to the United States govern
ment to formulate and promulgate at
the earliest hour plan which shall
be countrywide in its character, the
state highway officials believe that
they are expressing the concensus Of
opinion Of all citizens Interested In
roads progress intended to encompass
the greatest economic and military
value In conserving the resources Of
the country and facilitating the high
ways transportation Of freight.
I'm our appeal to W. G. McAdoo,
director general Of railroads, we have
included q special petition that freight
cars shall be furnished early In the
spring for transportation Of the neces-
sary materials entering into the build
Ing Of main artery roads which COM
mand priority Of attention. We are
going to be exceedingly hopeful that
the director general will recognize the
interrelated needs of railroads and
highways, enabling the road arteries
of communication TO serve a maximum
help in relieving the rail lines Of their
present overload"

NEW HEADLIGHT FOR AUTOS
Connected With Front Axle and Al.
ways Points In Same Direction
With Front Wheels.

The latest development in automo-
bile lighting Is headlight which al.
ways points In the right direction.
Every motorist has known the annoy.
ance which arises In turning corners.
when the front wheels are pointed In
one direction and the headlights in
another. and the country to left or
right Is lighted. while the road he
wants to travel Is dark. The new
headlight Is connected with the front
axle In such a way that 1t turns with
the front wheels instead Of with the
body OF the car. and always points in
the direction the wheels are pointed.
which Is. Of course. the path that the
car will travel.

In dealing with dust alone. the nrsf

with a Portland plant near RIVERSIDE

the dust had been scattered broadcast
and settled upon the groves Of ada
