DRIVERS CAN IMPROVE ROADS
Wear to Surface Can Be Prevented
by Driving Over Middle and Other
Less Used Parts.

Drivers can prevent wear to the
surfaces Of the roads and even I'M
prove their condition II Instead Of
driving In one track or on the edge
Of the road they will drive over the
middle and other less used parts OF
the road when traffic Permits. The
one thing that Is fatal above all
things to road surfaces, whether dirt
or paved, is driving In tracks, which
subjects one small part of the road
surface to all the traffic and damage
that the whole road accommodates
Traffic should be evenly distributed
over the entire surface of the road
and little thoughtfulness and care
In this respect on the part OF driv'
ers will do much to add to the per
manence and excellence Of our road
ways.

THE reputation OF Americans as be-
i ing the best shod of all people Is
being more than upheld by the femi-
nine portion of the population. Women
have grown so fastidlous In the matter

varieties, so that there IL as much
chance for individuality In their choice

Women have taken TO low shoes with
one accord, as may be gathered from
the examples of fashionable footwear
shown In the picture above. But low
shoes include all the different kinds
needed In the wardrobe-street shoes,
those for sports wear, dress or semi
dress. Combinations of two kinds OF
leather are popular. fabrics are EN-.
ployed and stitchery for decoration
Straps and buckles are featured, some
of the latter, for evening wear. may be

CAUSE OF SQUEAKlNG BRAKES
Usually the Result Of Dirt or Grit
Working Its Way Into the
Fabric Lining.

Squeaking brakes are usually the
result of dirt or grit working its way
into the fabric brake lining. This for
eign material presents rather hard
surface to the metal drums, and the
result Is friction Of sufficient Intensity
to cause the unpleasant noise familiar
TO us all. Usually the brake Innings
can be effectively cleaned with kero-
sene, but In cases where the dirt or
grit Is very extensive. a small amount
of rosin and castor oil mixed into a
plastic condition and applied to the
brake bands will be more effective in
overcoming squeaking.

be no impact regardless Of the speed
OF weight Of load. Since such an Ideal
condition is practically impossible, road
engineers recognize that all factors
which increase or reduce the impact
of load are Of the utmost impor-
tance In planning highway construc-
ton and regulation.
The placing Of the larger part OF
the load on the rear axle is only one Of
several factors which lead to high I'm
pact forces. In general, the In
creased speed Of the truck will In
crease the impact, hence the necessity
for keeping the operating speed within
reasonable limits. Roads kept as
smooth as possible by careful main
tenance will reduce the possibility OF
trucks exerting impact and pressure
forces upon the highway surface. Cush
ion or pneumatic tires also reduce
impact and cause less damage tt
the highways than those of hard
rubber. especially II the latter are moi
kept In good repair.

While 1t is. of course, most advan-

months, there is another extreme that
should be avoided. II the heat is too
intense, the sudden change of tempera-

or suggestion that his dizziness in class
may be due to previous illness.
The survey was quickly and easily
made by the teachers. Experience has
shown that strange nurse taking u

that schools usually closed long before
