The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1918-04-04

For years the people have been
complaining about the destructive
agency of automobiles on Publ
Highways, yet very lettle thought
has been given to the fact. that
heavy loads on narrow steel tired
vehicles do more damage than mo-
tor vehicles.
Practically every state in the
Union that has any roads has laws
regulating the weight that can be
hauled on certain width of tires.
Engineers can design and build
roads to withstand any loads but
the cost would be enormous and il
is considered more economical to
build roads to carry reasonable
loads. Inasmuch as the roads are
the peoples property they should
not be disposed to destroy their
own property. The 1918 session Of
the Legislature has passed law
which limits the load that can be
hauled on any kind Of vehicle Il
is practically the same law that is
in effect in all states that have
laws on the subject. No one is re-
quired to purchase a new wagon
but simply to limit the loads haul
ed on the wagons they now possess.
On wagons the following amounts
can be hauled depending on the
width of tire. The amount in
cludes the load and also the weight
of the vehicle:

Powell and Wolfe Together.

Powell and Wolfe counties were
placed together to form the 9lst
district. We thought for a time
that we were in with Montgomery.
We we're pleased with Montgomery
and are equally as well pleased with
Wolfe. We regret also to leave Es-
till. While Estill's Republican ma
jority alwsys gave us Republican
Representatives. The ones chosen
by our Republican friends have
generally been very satisfactory.
In fact the two last Representa-
tives, Mr.. f. B. McGlonc and Mr..
Clarence Miller, have each been
very acceptable to us, and is very
doubtful if the Democrats could
have named men that would have
been better.
We are in a Democratic district
now and it is foregone conclusion
that an agreement will be reached
whereby the members of the Legis-
latuie Va. Dc selected first from one
county and then the other.

Above 4 inches add 400 pounds
for each quarter of an inch in width
of tires.
1t is easily seen that more pres
sure is allowed than is produced by
a twelve ton road roller in building
the road.
The bill also limits to 800 pounds
per inch width OF tire the amount
that can be hauled on motor trucks
equipped with rubber tires. AS an
example, if motor truck is equip
ped with tires five inches wide, six
teen thousand pounds could be
hauled including the weight of the
truck. More is allowed on rubber
tires than on steel tires because rub
ber tires being more or less soft and
not so destructive provided the We
hicle is not driven too fast. The
law also specifies that trucks can
not be operated at a greater speed
than fifteen miles per hour and
when the weight is in excess OF tire
six tons the speed must be reduced
to eight miles per hour with iron
tires and twelve miles per hour
with rubber tires.
The speed of automobiles shall
not exceed twenty-five miles pen
hour.
Persons violating any OF the pro-
visions of the Act are subject to a
fine Of not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000 and it is the du-
ty of the Courts and all Peace Off,
GERS to enforce the law and when
the Officers, when properly inform
ed, fail to enforce the law they arr
subject to fine of not less than
$4,000 nor more than $4,000.
All fines go TO the credit of the
road fund in the county or the
street fund in the city or village
depending upon where the offense
is committed.

We Lose Valuable Help.

E. F. Harris, who has been work

Kentucky Eighth in Corn.

Kentucky is exceeded in the pro-
duction of corn by only seven other
states in the Union. 1t is therefore
very important that farmers see
that their seed corn is good. They
tell us that often the corn looks
good when it really is very bad.
And this year it is more that way
than ever before. There is no harm
in testing our corn anyway.

JAPAN MUST ACT ON
HER OWN INITIATIVE.
United States Will Not Seek
to influence Her Decision
Either Way

Washington, Mar. 1S.-The United
States probably will interpose no new
objections to Japanese proposals for in
tervention in Siberia. The original with
holding of assent and the expression of
views against Intervention, however,
will stand.
This was indicated in reliable quar-
tiers today as the American position at
the present moment.
The general viewpoint is that the
United States has said its say, but
this is framed in friendly language, and
is not such as to prevent Japan from
acting if she sees fit.
Japan apparently is marking time,
awaiting President Wilson'S expected
remarks before the "cOurt Of world OPP
inicn" on the proposed expedition.
Announcement by Premier Terauchi
that nothing has been decided upon
with reference to the situation squares
with official announcement there that
negotiations between the two govern
ments are still going on.
There was some intimation today that
the president may make. a visit to some
nearby army training camp as the oc-
casion to outline his views upon the
japanese and Russian situations and the
war in general-or simply issue a state
ment.
Deep satisfaction is selt here at the
wholly friendly name in which Japan
is proceeding in the negotiations. 1t EN-
phasizes, officials say, the new spirit
Of cooperation which has developed be.
fuuaau thn txvn countries
Significance was attached to a CON
ference between Lord Reading, the
British ambassador and President Will
son this afternoon. 1t was held more
than likely that the japanese position
would be discussed.

Of Munps
In Schools Of Civ

DIR. 0. B. Miles, city health officer,
reports an epidemic Of mumps which
is seriously affecting the attendance
at the Lincoln and Mckinley schools
in the south part of the city. While
none of the cases reported are serious,
the children are being kept out OF
school. About so cases Of humps have
been reported to DR.. Miles to date.
The epidemic, while not serious, is
very apt to grow unless proper steps
are taken. In some cases a doctor is
not called in and as a result proper
care is not taken to prevent contagiOn.
DR.. Miles states that he expects to en-!
force the city and state health rules,
even if a physician is not called in by
the family.
Following are the state health rules
in regard to mumps and which DR..
Miles will enforce:
Mumps is communicable to adults
and children from nasal, throat, and
salivary secretions. C%ontagion occurs
before the appearance Of symptoms,
and the incubation period is from 10
to 25 days.
As a result of the serious sequels and
occasional deaths from mumps, isola-
tion for the patient is necessary until
one week after the swelling of the pa
rotoid glands has subsidized.
Exclusion from school Of children Of
the household who have not had the
disease is necessary. Adult members of
the family may come and go il they
dc not come into contact with the pa
tient.
Terminal eisihfection may be re-
placed by thorough cleansing, reno
waiting and airing of the quarters and
their contents.
