TRAFFIC CENSUS TO
BETTER HIGHWAYS
More Rational Methods Of
Road Design to Meet Vary
ing Traffic Needs Sought

Thirty thousand motorists who were
stopped last month on the Springfield
Hartford road at tho Connecticut
Massachusetts state line have contrib
uted valuable information to the Bu-
reau of Public Roads, United States
department of agriculture, which, when
analysed. Will assist the department
TO determine more ra uonal methods of
road design to meet varying traffic
needs.
The motorists were counted in tho
first traffic census to give complete
information ever undertaken by the
bureau. Tho work was done in CO.
operation with state highway depart
ments OF Massachusetts and Connccti-
cut and will be duplicated in the near
future elsewhere. 1t was taken be-
tween August 1s and 20, covered 40
day hours and 20 night hours. and re-
suited in accurate records conccrning &
3o.S5l vehicles. For passenger cara this
information covers type, make. num-
bcr of passengers, time. direction.

license numbers and engine informa-
tion. Tho work was handled SO cx-
pcditiously that the average stop lasted
only 10 seconds.
Trucks wero stopped somewhat long
er-l0o seconds for sputnbouud and 81
seconds for northbound vehicles being
the average. Truck drivers were asked
to give. in addition to the information
obtained in the case of passenger cars,

carried. location or consignor and con-
signec. Roadside scales. especially
placed took required weight data. and
observers ascertained the speed of

honor, in order that he might indulge
in round of his favorite sport.
Lack of time prevented Lord North
cliffe and his foursome from playing
moro than five holes and no score was
kept, but it is very likely that the
publisher will remember those five
short holes longer than some other
more extended and more spirited
matches.
From the second tee, Lord North
c!iffe sliced his drive and the ball
described beautiful curve, landing
off the course in the rough. His lord
ship carefully addressed his ball for
the second shot, with deep silence pre-
vailing in the gallery. Just as he
drew his club above his shoulder fo;
the shot, there came an interruption
from a motion picture camera man
who was following the match.
''Hold it. Hold it. That's a
leach," the caneraman shouted.
Lord Northcliifc dropped his club,
turned around and stared at the
photographer with amazement. "With
remarkable self-control, ms the other
members of the fours ,me expressed
it, he talked to the photog:4 phcr.
"I say, young man, have you ever
played golf?" he asked.
''No, not mu"h.''
~ thought So" replied Lord
NorthclifTe. and returned to his sec
ond shot, which also went off the fair
way.
As the British publisher was about
to drive from the next tee, the motion
picture man stood directly in front
of him calmly crankinc his machine.
Lord Northcliffe gazed at him mo-
ment and then spoke benevolcntly:
Young man, feel it my Christian
duty to inform you that when | drive
a golf ball the safest place for n spec
lator is behind me-
The photographer remained in the
background ibruout the rest of the
match.

At the present time more than ever
before the great public is on the alert
TO save money in buying because the
times are stringent and money IS
tight. The great stores ana mercah-
lilo organizations of the big centers
realize this fact keenly and they are
using printers ink to a measure far
in excess of what they did few years
AGO when everybody was flush and
the problem was to get the goods
rather than to sell them.
But times have changed and the
public. as we said before, is looking
around to get the most for its money.

that the home paper affords ready
and constant means of reaching the
people in the home territory.
No matter what you have to sell
