The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1919-08-01

The man who never gets out of
sight Of the tall buildings, as well as
the man who has yet to see city sky
scraper, should be a booster for better
roads. Highways are used In trans
porting practically every article of
food at some stage In its Journey to
the consumers table. Bad roads add
to the cost Of transportation, but good
roads cut marketing cost.
From the time when farm products
were first hauled In wagons to markets
there has been an interest In better
roads as means of reducing the cost
OF transportation, but improved high
ways mean more now because of the
extensive use of motortrucks In haul
Ing products from the farm to the
railroad station or direct to the city
markets. Trucks are not only replace
Ing horse transportation but In many
cases they are supplementing and even
doing the work of railroads. In fact,
motor trucks offer solution Of mod
ern transportation problems, but roads
built only-for horse-drawn vehicles or
der heavy motor traffic.
Maintenance of thousands of miles
Of roads so that the enormous govern
ment and commercial truck traffic OF
the past two years could move has
taxed the abilities and called forth
every energy and plan on the part of
highway officials. In many states Off
clals found themselves without suffi-
Client funds to handle properly the re-
pair and rebuilding work necessary.
Nearly all of them had to struggle I'M
der the handicap of an insufficient la
Dor supply, and all had to meet the
increased cost of labor and material.
War Lessons Aid In Peace.
Only few states were unaffected
by the restrictions on the supply and
transportation of materials which had
to be brought from distance. None
escaped the difficulties which followed
the great and rapid increase in traffic
at this country's entrance into the
war, From New England to the Pa
clfic coast new demands were made
upon the highways, and unusual con-
dltlons developed everywhere in main
tenance and construction. In several
states high type roads, which had orig
inally been constructed without suffi-
Client foundation to meet the new de-
mands. had to be rebuilt. and part of
this construction work was carried on

OIL AND TIRES

OH and gasoline are deadly
enemies to automobile tires. If
you don't believe 1t, take rub

oline. Watch II swell--grow

allowing 1t to soak for a short
time, just stretch that rubber

Gasoline has a similar effect
on automobile tires. Seas" eats

Sidewalk and starts deteriora-
tion. on and grease have the
same effect.
Great care should be exer-
cised in the use of oil around

not be allowed on the floors.
Spare tires should always be
protected by cover.

VERY INGENIOUS TOOL RACK
May Be Made by Boring Number Of
Holes In a Board and Then DriV-
ing in Clothespins.

A very ingenious tool rack for fat
tools may be made by boring a number
of holes in a board, each hole being
just large enough to take the head of
a cIothespln. Clothespins are then
driven into the holes and the cleft
ends are used to receive the tools. The
pins may be made secure by a small
wire nail driven through their heads
and into the board.
