be as high as seven times the load,
an average being about four times.
The tests show, however, that the
impact depends largely upon the kind
and condition Of the tire. Pneumatic
tires cause the least damage to the

impact increases with the speed OF
the truck, and it IS therefore highly
desirable to limit speed by strict reg

would make higher speed permissible.
The tests of the bureau Of public
roads have pointed the way to more
scientific, designing Of roads for mo-
ltortruck traffic. and there Is every as
surance that engineers will now be
able to build roads with practical GER
tairty that they will withstand the
blows of heavy vehicles.
Further reinsurance in this respect

Many roads not originally intended
to carry heavy traffic were seriously
damaged during the period Of the
war by the impact of heavy motor
trucks. The natural result Of this
was to warn highway engineers Of the
importance Of planning all, future
roads with reference to the kind Of
traffic that is likely to use them. The
engineers responded Immediately by
building thicker roads and roads Of
more durable material; but in the
absence Of definite knowledge of the
probable strength of the impact they
have not known exactly how thick or
how strong the roads must be made.
Recent tests Of the impact Of motor
trucks made by the bureau Of public

GOODS COUNTRY AND THE LAW"
AT REX THEATER SUNDAY

James Oliver Curwood,' author OF
"God's'Country and the Law" recent
ly made a special trip to Maine to
watch the taking of the final scenes
in the first of a series of productions
adapted from his works that the Pine
Tree Pictures, ms, will produce for
Arrow Film Corporation. The ia
nous author was enthusiastic and on
his return to New York is reported
to have expressed himself as very
we'll satisfied with the splendid
manner in which the picture has
been produced.
Mr.. Curwood made the trip all
the way from his home in Michi-
gan and was the guest of ex-Gov-
ernor Carl e. Milliken and Honor
able Frederick w. Hinckley, the
two heads Of the Pine Tree Pictures,
Inc, of Portland, Me-, who are pro-
ducing the series for Arrow 1mme-
diately upon his arrival in Portland,
Mr.. Curwood motored out with Mr..
Milliken and Mr.. Hinckley to the
Sebago Lake region where the final
scenes were being shot" for the
first picture.
Mr.. Curwood was enthused and
delighted with the efforts and posi-
bilities of the Maine woods as atmO-
sphere for his pictutes. They quoted
him in part as follows:
II never saw such beautiful coun-
try for the making of motion pic
lures. 1t is the living glorious syno-
nym for the well-knOwn phrase, the
great outdoors Had you gone north
OF SO into the very widest regions
Of Alaska, you couldn't have added
more color or realistic atmosphere
as background to these stories"
When one Of the reporters asked
him where he got his great love for
the out of doors, Mr.. Curwood's re-
ply was of the sort that would prob
ably be of interest to exhibitors and
thousands Of others who have seen
or handled Curwood's stories made
into motion pictures. II inherited it,

You see my grandmother was a
full-bloudeI Indian. so | am not a
great many generations away from
the forest primeval. It was probably
my Indian ancestry that bred in me
such love sfor the out Of doors. And

Northwest only enhanced my taste

I have always tried to keep the ma
ture element uppermost in MY stories.

sop; Virginia Valli, as Mary Turner,
