There's a mOtorist near Kankakee,
ILL.,, who is against road signs OF
every description, especially DE
tour" signs. 1t itsn't because he
holds them unsightly. The other
day, while enrOute to Chicago, for
the first time, he encountered a
pesky detour beacon which directed
him to proceed five miles. Later, he
was greeted by another sign read
ing "Detour 10 miles," He stopped
passing brother motorist and in
quired, "Say, where In the world Is
this town DetOur?"
They are making sign posts and
signal towers of traffic policemen
in some cities. For instance, in
Bridgeport, Conn, they have evolved
white Sam Brown belt for traffic
officers on night duty to increase the
visibility on dark nights. And in
New York City traffic loops" are
wearing signal lights strapped to
their chests. By pressing buttons
they fash "go" and "stop" orders.
Rural motor express and other
motor truck operators are protesting
vigorously against the wave of re-
strictive legislation to limit weights
of loads which threaten to cripple
the trucking industry. Trucks are
not wholly to blame for road fall
ures. Invariably such laws result in
overlooking smaller sized trucks
which all engineers agree will have
a more harmful effect on the roads
than the same load on trucks de-
signed to carry such loads.
The Illinois state highway depart
ment has under construction an ex-
perimental road containing Ga test
sections, each section differing from
the others in resign. The types of
pavement used include macadam
base with asphalt surface, macadam
with brick top, concrete base with
brick and asphalt top and regular
concrete roads. The different types
will be tested by trucks carrying |
light loads and then gradually In
creasing the load. Records will be
kept and analysed.
Few inventions have done more
for the health of the nation than
the automobile. There's nothing
more invigorating than brisk spin
In the fresh, germ proof air. Wheth-
er used as a convenience, for vaca-
lion tours, for day outings and pic
MICS, or for motor camping, the auto
mobile offers a change Of scene, men
tai rest and relaxation and whole
some effect on the eyes. Even ia
tigue from driving is a good. healthy,
tired condition.

spEEDERs ARE a MENACE
Motorists Avoiding Road Because Of
Danger From Reckless Drivers

1
Danger From Reckless Drivers
Reckless speeders are abusing the
benefit they gain through the new
pavement on the Golden Belt road be-
tween Abilene and Detroit. Drivers
going at a speed Of from 40 to go
miles an hour are a menace to traf-
fic on the road.
One driver stated that Sunday a
Buick roadster with two boys in 1t
came down from the west SO fast
that he was obliged to turn or the
pavement and over onto the dirt with
one wheel. Even then In righting It,
seifsafter avoiding other cars, the on
coming machine came within a few
inches Of his tenders, he said. Three
or four other cars in front Of him
had been obliged to turn out In the
same way and almost stop, the driy-
er asserted in order to avoid a col
lision. -.-
Relating similar instances which
have occurred on that road several
drivers have declared their intention
of seeking rougher highways where
holes necesstate more careful driving.
The county commissioners are con-
sidering establishing a speed limit on
the new road and putting out traf-
fic cops. The state law says no one
shall drive more than 40 miles an
hour on a country road nor more
than n reasonable for safety. The
commissioners may establish a 20 or
30 mile limit. The fine is up to 3D.
900 for violation, with 9 months In
Jail also II the court sees fit.

when his Ford car threw rear

Bang! You hear this sharp sig
nal Of a tire blowout often. at this

Where traffic is heavy it's some
times as difficult to find vacant
space for repairs at the roadside as
it is to "spot" a parking place on
the city streets. In the early sum
mer, tires that have been mistreated
during the winter months develop
structural weaknesses and the first
long trip usually causes them to
pop. A spare tire Is a wise pre-
caution.

IN A DEPLORABLE STATE

Where will it end? With nation

deficit of millions, and with Grain
ger county struggling to make the
financial rifle the people are becom-
ing burdened to the limit Of endur-
ance. Tax payers are naturally
grumdling The people, a great ma
iority of them at least, are strug-
Cling and working and worrying in
an effort 10 feed and clothe and ed
ucate the children. They are doing
their utmost to pay their taxes and
meet other obligations but conditions
are adverse up in the air so to
speak. Somehow things are away
out of tune nearly everybody is
chasing a rainbow. This will not
do. We've got to get down to brass
tacks-quit foolin' And there
must be a change. There will be.
1t surely will be for thebetter as it
can hardly get worse. But, think
about it-who's saving, who's econo-
MIXING, practicing thrift, as Ben
Franklin did it? A fellow can't
turn a street corner, or loaf at a
cross-road store without being held
up, or knocked down, or both, for
money. One week drive" is on
for this, and the next seven days a
Campaign" is launched for that.
Store windows, telephone poles and
trees along the highways, and among
the hedges, are laden with notices
announcing pie supper at Punkin'
Ridge, box supper at Rattlesnake
Holler, an ice cream social at Mouth
of Frogpond creek and other forms
of high class robbery at some noted
social resort, each and every one
of them asking for aims at the hands
of an over-burdened people. The
teachers, bankers and preachers are
doing their dead level best to in
still the saving habit into the minds
of everybody, and especially the boys
and girls. The practice of thrift
along all lines of business, and pleas
ure, too, together with the work
habit will eventually solve the prob
lens now confronting us. Let's cut
out waste, frivolous buying and job
less working and get down to bust
ness. Who will say nay?
