of overlooking to impact is given IN
the preliminary report of the United
States bureau of public roads, In
which II is stated that a three-ton

slightly over II tons, while o1s-toh

only 70 tons. The fact that the over.
loaded truck had heavier "unsprung
weight. that is, weight not sustained
by springs, accounted to some extent
for It's greater impact, but there can
be no question that the overlooking
was n material factor In causing the
greatly increased wheel pressure Oh

TIME connection between job.
i the Biblical personifica-
ton of patience, and the word
"job" commonly applied TO a
piece of work. is cleverly worked
out by Southey In his book
sThe Doctor"
"a Job In the working or op-
eratiye sense Is evidently some
thing which 1t requires patience
to perform. In the physical or
moral sense, as when. for ex-
ample, In the language of the
vulgar, a personal hurt or mis-
fortune Is called a bad job It
Is something which requires pa
thence on the part of the public
to endure-and In all these
senses the word may be traced
to Job, who is the proverbial ex-
emplar Of this virtue"
Sheridan, whose definitions
are always as amusing as they
are direct. states that when
