Washington, d. c.. Jan. S0-SpeciaD
Secretary Houston Of the department
ot agriculture, in a communication to
the American Association of State High
way officials, has set forth squarely
the policy which he thinks should be
followed in highway construction dur
ing the war. Secretary Houston says:
so far as it is practicable to do So
this department will urge maintenance
of highways already constructed; con.
struction and completion of those high
ways which are vitally important be-.

construction relatively less essential. or

economic needs. The department Is pre-.

departments the preparation of a
schedule of work for the federal aid
projects for 1918 in line with this poi

In carrying out the policy thus an.

office of public roads Of the department
of agriculture, schedule forms on which

THOUSANDS OF WORKERS
HASTEN TO SHIPYARDS.
Every State in Union Furnishes Men to
Philadelphia Works.

Philadelphia, Jan. S0.-Virtually every
state in the union and many distant
parts of the world are represented
among the thousands of shipworkers
and their families who are fastening
to this city to settle in the new com
munity established in the Fortieth ward
for employees of a large shipbuilding
corporation which has established a
plant at Hog Island. The influx, which
aegan with the establishment of the
plant a short time ago, will add. ac-
cording to local officials, from 25,O0O to
10000 persons to Philadelphia's popuIa-
ton.
Before the establishment Of the Hog
Island plant, thousands of workmen AZ.
racted to the Delaware river shipbuld-
ing yards had utilized all the housing
facilities in the district. This made
il necessary for the city to cooperate
with the government in planning FOR
the reception of the new army which

More than 10000 workers will be re.

estimated, according to surveys mace
at the instance of the city, that from
1000 to $500 dwelling will be ncces-
sary. The cost will exceed SlOOOO,OO0
including wages.
Another fortune will be required for
he construction of sewers, water ra-
r.lities and other sanitary arrangements
n this new section. Streets will be laic,
miles of water pipes will be installed
and all the heating, lighting and trans
portauon accommodations of modern

Few know that in races sanctioned by
the American Automobile association
this unpretentious little wire is con-
nected with a, $4,000 timing device,
owned by Starter Fred J. Wagner,
which automatically records the time
Of each car to a hundredth part Of
second, observes a writer in the New
York Evening Post.
There are but two such devices In
America, the other being the property
of the Indianapolis Speedway, and
used to time all the big races held
there. The outfit consists Of time
registering device run by motor and
storage battery and a chronometer.
The wire which crosses the track Is
fastened at one end to On electric
break-maker.
The operation Is this: Whenever a
car passes over the wire q "break"
is made In the electric current, and
this causes the timing device to record
the time Of crossing. A striking arm
imprints the exact time ON strip of
paper which passes through the ma
chine. This paper Is automatically
shifted forward to receive the next Inn
preston. The machine RECEIVERS from
each operation quickly enough to per-
NIT the registration Of two cars pass
ing over the wire within FIVE hum
dredths Of a second of each other.
Tell Exact Number OF Laps.
An assistant calls out the number
Of each as it passes and the official
time recorded by the machine. The
scorers also record these numbers as
they are called out with small count
ing machines, and are able to tell the
exact number of laps each car has
completed at any stage OF the race.
The position and number OF the lead
ing car is indicated by the clilef scorer
to the starter In time that he may
give it the green flag on the next to
the last lap Of the race. Tho check
cred flag indicates the completion of
the race.
Hardly less important thans the TIM
ing and scoring, but more apparent
to the crowds in the grandstand, Is
the pit service rendered to each car
in the field of racers. Across from the
grandstand is a series Of conpart-
ments, ench fronting on the track.

In Germany now there are advertise

Zeitung recently contained want ad,

Polish laborers In Germany are not
permitted to change masters or to
move from place to place without gov
eminent authorization. With such au-

make exchanges, as we trade horses
