IMPROVED ROADS
LARGER REVENUE FOR ROADS
Tendency Toward Devoting Increased Portion of Motor Vehicles Tax
 to Highways.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture)
 For number of years the general tendency toward devOting an ever-in- creasing portion of the motor-vehicle revenues to road work under the control and direct supervision of the state highway departments has been very noticeable. Prior to 1912 only very small portion of the motor-vehicle registration was devoted to this purpose. In 1920, 76 per cent of the revenue, or $77,531, ,5S2, ,57, was applied to road work under the direct super vision of the state highway depart ments, and in addition $20, ,465, ,578.04 was applied to road work by counties or other local supervision, but with little or no direct supervision from the state highway departments.
 In most states the motOr-vehicle revenues are devoted to maintenance and repair of the state roads or other improved highways. These states seem to have solved fairly well the difficult problem of securing funds for the maintenance of the more i'm portant roads under the ever-increasing traffic requirements. AS both the traffic and the revenues increase with the number of cars, there apparently exists possibility of so adjusting the registration rates as to keep pace with the evergrowing maintenance charges.
 A number of the states having in general but a small mileage of im- proved roads have recently adopted the plan Of capitalizing the motor vehicle revenues and devoting these funds to road construction. The states doing this are Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. In them bonds have been voted or issued for road con- struction, and the principal, in some instances also the interest, is to be paid entirely from the motor-vehicle revenue.
 At the beginning of 1921 there were still seven states in which motor trucks were registered at the same rate as passenger cars, but in recent years there has been a very decided tendency in most states to increase the fees required for motor trucks over and above those required for passenger cars. This increase is usually based on the weight of the truck and it's carrying capacity. its horsepower, or combination of these factors. The most general practice seems to be toward definitely limiting the maximum total road weight of the vehicle and passing the registration fee

Sun Cooks Scientists
 Meals on Novel Stove

Washington.-Advantages of the Old Sol cook stove, operated 24 hours a day on sun heat alone, were explained to the National Academy of Sciences here by Dr. c. c. Abbot of the Smithsonian Institution.
 The device is as yet a lux ury, he admitted, but added that Mrs. Abbot had done everything but fry on the solar cook stove at Mount Wilson, Cal. He dis played a can of beans, saying they were solar cook stove canned, looked good and tasted better"
 The apparatus, Doctor Abbot said, was a "concave. paraboIc, cylindric reflector" through which ran a tube of ordinary cylinder oil to absorb heat from the reflector and then apply it to the cooking compartment, in- sulation retaining heat in the oil over night.
 Cooking temperatures were automatically regulated by a float device, he said, while sim pie clockwork mechanism kept the reflector pointed to the sun.

 In Colorado, New York. and Oregon. in addition to the registration fees, a state tax on gasoline or other products used for the propulsion of motor vehicles is also levied. In some states motor cars are taxed as personal property in addition to the required registration fees. In Alabama, Dela- ware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan.
