NATIONWIDE FOOD
COST PROBE URGED

Columbus, Ohio. Recommends
tion that the food cost investigation
launched by Ohio be made nation
wide in its scope was made b!
States Attorney General John G.
Price at a conference with county
prosecuting attorneys here to-day.
. Such nationwide probe will be
urged by Mr.. Price at the confer
ence of State Attorneys General al
Boston September 3. Data collect.
ed by county grand jury investiga-
lions in Ohio will be assembled by
the Ohio Attorney General and
presented to the national conven-
tion of Attorney Generals.
Gov. James NJ. Cox, addressing
the conference of county prosecu-
tors, stated that it may be nee
essary for the State to create de-
partment of food control and en-
act new laws to control profteer-
ing.
"if We find that in the CONNER
cial relations between men the lust
for gain is satisfied by artifully
created privileges, then the COM
mon law must be invoker to bring
it to an end" the Governor said.
Commenting upon the proposal
for a nationwide investigation. At
tOrney General Price said:
My personal opinion is that the
State of Ohio should, through its
officials, put forth every effort to
discover the cause of the present
feeling of unrest in order that it
may take its place as a contributor
TO a great nationwide movement
which ! believe is timely and which
can be conducted along lines which
will produce the best results OBJ
tainable."
Through a concerted demand for
Investigations by State Attorneys
General, Attorney General Price
said, he believed such action would
result in the creation of sentiment
in the Congress of the United States
which will sprovide for a general in
vestigation throughout the coun-
try" as well as prosecutions by
Federal authorities.

SOLDIER GIVEN ORDERS
TO FIRE AIRPLANEs

New York--The subcommittee
of the house of representatives,
headed by Royal c. johnson, of
South Dakota, which has been in
vestigating cruelties practiced up
on prisoners in American prison
camps abroad, turned its attention
here today to the destruction of
American army property in France
under the direction of American
army officers. The first incident
taken up was the disposition of 100
airplanes at olombes-les-B Bellies.
The first witness, Paul l.. Lock-
wood, of Stamford, Conn, former
ly a lieutenant of aviation in the
LIST Pursuit Group, testified that up
on returning to America he met a
number of his colleagues in Gar
den City who told him that the
planes had been damaged and then
burned. The engines were chopp-
ed out, the witness said his in
formers told Thin, only the gas
tanks and radiators being saved.
The planes then were thrown into a
pile and burned. While the fire
was in progress armed guards pa
troled the vicinity to prevent photo
graphs being taken, according to
the witness, who estimated that
the salvaged parts we're worth
about "15 cents each" Some Of
the machines. he had been told,
had flown only twenty minutes.
Alfred T. Rorer, who was a First
sergeant in the LIST Pursuit Group,
told the committee that while he
was at Colombes-les-Belles in Nav
he received orders to detail from
fifty to seventy-fve men for this
work of destruction. When he left
he camp to return home, he said,
he work of destruction was still
going on and he saw the ruins of
number of the planes.
Chairman Johnson then ordered
wO cablegrams read into the evil
cnce. One was from Gen. March
o Gen. Pershing inquiring about
2Hertg~8f the destruction. of gov
rnment property and the other
Ten. Pershing's reply, denying that
he reported destruction had taken
lace.

STANDARD INVITATIONS
OF TIRES HELD BEST
Theory That Pressure in Hot
Weather Should Be Lower Than
in Cold Is Exploded.

Winter invariably brings inquiries
to local tire dealers on the question
of tire pressure. The general run of
opinion seems to be that more air
is required during cold weather"
said a prominent dealer a few days
ago.
This theory has been exploded by
an exhaustive test recently conducted.
Many motorists believe that GER
tain amount of air should be let out
up for the increased air pressure
caused by the heat. and that a cor
responding amount of air should be
pumped into tires in cooler weather.
"A "a by 4 tire. to which makers
prescribe a seventy-pound pressure,
was used for the test. Air at various
temperatarss wps pumped into the
tire and the tire run at excessive
speeds Under severe road conditions.
4The changes in pressure were found
to be negligible. Goodrich recon-
niends an even pressure the year
round. with adherence to the pressure
designated for the various sizes Of
tires.
Frequent observations conducted
by experts of the company have DEM
onstrated that the vast majority OF
motorists keep their tires underin-
fated Even if hot weather makes
slight difference in pressure. it
would be policy to risk it rather than
take the chance of having the tire
underinf1ated. OF the two evils the
latter is far more universal and de-
structive.
I'm this connection it is well. to
remember that air pressure is lust
as apt to increase in cold weather
as in hot This comes about by the
friction of the tire against the road
where the going is rough. Yet the
motorist never thinks of letting out
air in the winter. A safe rule is to
keep a standard pressure"

AUTO TAGS FOR 1920 ISSUED
TO DATE NUMBER ABOUT 1000
License Officials Urge Motorists to Comply
With the District Regulations During
the Present Month.

Automobile license tags for 1920 are
now being distributed, and District
motorists are urged to secure their
tags before the end of this month.
The sale of tags started at the Dis
| trict building last Monday. and up to
the present time approximately 1000
,, tags have been issued.
Tags may be secured al the District
automobile license bureau, room III.
, District building. The office is open
/ from m. to pm. daily, and large

ling approximately $4,000 tags were
distributed to motor car owners.
Classification OF Tags.

There is a plentiful supply on hand.
and every effort is being made to dis

ROAD BUILDING
VIEW APPROVED
County Engineer Endorses Asso-
cations Decision Regarding
Highway Foundations,

The unanimous decision reached at
the recent meeting of the American
Road Builders Association against
foundation for trunk line highways
augurs well for the common-sense
treatment of our highway problems"
comments George c. Diehl, county
| engineer of Erie County, n. " and
chairman both of the A. A. A. good
| roads board and of the good roads
committee of the New York State
Motor Federation.
View Of Practical Men.
This action was that of men hav-
ing practical knowledge of road
! building matters and took into ac-
| count the fact that local conditions
involving the availability of ma
terial. the character of the soil. the
drainage facilities and other govern
ing factors might dictate in one case
a wholly different type of foundation
from that which would be found
suitable in another case. In the dis
cussion numerous examples were
cited of roads constructed in telford,
| macadam. cement, concrete and as
phaltic concrete fcrHdations, which
had stood unframed the severest
tests of modern day traffic.
Larger Question Involved.
ne larger QucStiou WHICH lHlS as
cussion emphasized is that with our
! 25OO, OOO-odd miles of roads, our
5000. 900 square miles of area and our
| 1O5, 900 900 population, we must utilize
every means of making our highway
systems serve the most tonnage. the
greatest number of people and the
! largest possible number of needs We
must build some highways wider and
| some thicker than others: whenever
possible we must use local material
! and conserve every dollars worth of
| improvements already made. and we
| must avoid jumping at conclusions
! based upon new and plausible theories
| as contrasted with fully ascertained
| facts.
Twenty per cent Of our highways
or 100000 miles, at $4,000 per mile
| the cost of many present-day state
| roads. would aggregate $50, 900, 900 900
at the first cost
Less Expensive Types Suggested.
eff, within the present or even the
| next generation, we are to have a
| connected and well developed system
| of highways. aggregating one-fifth of
| the total mileage, it is perfectly plain
| that large percentage must be built
of less expensive types. but every one
| of the standard proven. types has it's
place in the completed system
There is no wholesale method of
| determining types. materials of con-
struction. cross-sections. etc, but ev-
| cry single section must be designed
to meet its own particular needs"
