surgeon-Generni's Statement.

Surgeon-Gen. Cumming issued a
statement because of the xtrsordi-
nary publicity given to the typhus sit
uation at the Port OF New York and
the erroneous impression created by
some OF the representations" He said in
part:
"The menace TO this country from the
Introduction Of typhus from Europe Is
not Of recent development and Is no
greater to-day than IL was six months
ago. Even before the armlstlce. the
Surgeon General recognized the poten-
tialities OF the disease spreading to the
United States II adequate preca utionary
measures were not taken when immiera-
iion was resumed During the last year
medical officers OF the Public Health
service have been stationed at Aineri-
can consulates at chief European ports
of embarkation 20 supervise measures
TO be applied against ships and passen-
GERS for the prevention Of the spread not
only OF typhus but also of plague and
cholera.
while the measures enforced az the
european ports have By no means Deen
perfect their value Is indicated In the
iact that several hundred Thousand inn
migrants have come from typhus in
fected areas on several hundred ships.
and that out of all this number typhus
infection occurred only on eight vessels.
With the exception OF the Presidente Will
son. which arrived at New York on Feb
ruary l. infection on the ships was de-
;ected by the quarantine officer at New

obstacle is removed to it's swift COM
pletion. These bureaus are cndeavor-
ing to ascertain the best method OF
supplying the requisite amount OF
fresh air necessary to remove the
poisonous products of combustion
from motor vehicles
Preliminary tests have shown that
no noticeable symptoms of discomfort
are evident in a human being after
one hours exposure to concentrations
of carbon monoxide in air not exceed
ing four parts in 10000. To test the
flow of air in ducts and bends such
as will be used in the tunnel the
bureau will conduct experiments at
the University OF Illinois, where an
experimental air duct 300 feet long is
now under construction, with special
300 horsepower motors and fans in
stalled in IT.
Other tests will be made In an ex-
perimental tunnel at the bureaus

The Financial aspect OF the tunnel
is entirely satisfactory. New York
has appropriated her half OF the cost
already and New Jersey is expected to
follow suit any day. The tunnel will
be an imposing monument OF Amer
lean achievement, comparable to such
great engineering feats as the first
Hudson tubes, He'll Gate Bridge, and
the bridge across the st. Lawrence at
Quebec.

BRAKE APPLIANCE
AVOIDS SK|DD|NG
Lafayette Car Now Equipped
With Equa|izing 0ifferential
To Insure Safety.

Motorists who have experienced
skidding due to having one brake act
more quickly than the other. will be
interested in knowing that a means
of avoiding this annoyance and dan
ger has been developed. At present
II is found in one or two of the Eu-
ropean cars, and in this country, In
the Lafayette. The brake equalizing
of the latter is mounted
on the rear of the transmission and
operates on the same principle as the
rear axle differential. 1t Is complete
Iy inclosed, trouble proof. and in
sures positiveness and equality OF
brake operation on both rear wheels
and in both sets OF brakes.
The result is the elimination or
skidding, materially increasing the
safety OF operation, largely as re-
suit that the brake rods fulcrum ct
common center with the torque
tube. The Lafayette. driver does not
experience that chattering of brake
bands and drumming of rear wheels
when the car is brought to a quick
stop.

ideal SECTION OF
ROAD FOR AUT0|STS
U. S. Rubber Co. Defrays Cost
of Lincoln Highway Stretch
With Elevated Curves.

An indication of what road build
ing today really means may be found
in the specifications adopted for the
ideal section" soon to be built on
the Lincoln Highway through funds
provided by the United States Rub
Der Company.
This road is based on an average
traffic of $4,000 passenger automo-
biles day travelling at a speed OF
thirty-five miles an hour and 5000
motor trucks a day travelling at an
average speed of ten miles an hour.
This stretch of highway will have
right of way 100 feet in width. 1t
will be protected from water by drain
tile and catch basins. The construc-
tion will consist OF ten inches of con-
crete with steel reinforcing, and the
road will have earth shoulders on
each side Of the concrete. 1t VIII be
lighted and will embody no curves
having a radius OF less than 1000
feet. All the curves will be super
elevated for a speed of thirty-five
miles an hour.
There will be a footpath for ped
estrians and all embankment Will be
protected by guard rails. The con-
struction will be based on maximum
carrying capacity of 500 pounds an
inch of width of tire actually In con-
tact with the road surface. and TO
5000 pounds a wheel. This modern
highway will have no grade crossings
and no distractions to vision, so that
the motorist will be able to see for a
distance of at least 500 feet each way
at every intersection All wires
along this ideal section will be placed
underground, and all distance mark
ings will be correct and will originate
at the municipal headquarters OF the
nearest town or city.
In examining the design one must
have clearly in mind the conditions
| IL was prepared to serve. Don't I'M
agine that it Is recommended or even
suggested that such a road as out
lined be constructed along the hum
dreds of thousands of miles of public
highway in the United States. for
probably such a set of specifications
would not be needed either now or IN
the immediate future along even one
per cent of Americas two and one
half million miles of public highway.
but the plan is suggested. 1t indicates
along what lines to work.

Fulton Negro
Caught In Act
Of Looting Safe

Rufus Baker, a negro youth seven
teen years old, was caught Saturday
evening in the act of robbing a safe
at the Neal, Holman and Company
salesroom at Fulton. 1t is thought
this arrest will stop the series Of rob
berries that have been going on in the
Kingdom capitol for months.
Baker was identified by n Of the
bloodhounds that was taken to Full
ton when the home of Andy Campbell
was burgiarized last month but it was
thought that the evidence was not suf-
fcient to arrest him.
The arrest was made by o. ]. Mil
Ter, deputy sheriff who had hidden
himself in the back Of the salesroom.
The place had been visited only the
week before and it was expected that
an attempt would be made again.
Shortly after closing time he heard
the negro coming up the basement
steps. He proceeded to the front
room where the saef was located and
Miller caught him in the act of loot
ing the safe.

phone Sextette. This attraction is
considered by critics throughout the
country as one of Americas leading
musical acts and comes heralded as a
musical attraction that should appeal
to the music loving people of this city.
The management of the Liberty is
deserving of a large patronage for
bringing such an attraction to the

Sextette Mr.. Browns sextette renders
a very interesting program including
cornet solos, baritone solos, and a jazz
brass band far above the average

until September Fl, without a vote by

manufacture and sale Of beer to the
sick. The Senate ended its work at
1885 o'clock and the House at 1853
o'clock.
Congress put aside its work after a
determined fight against the antibeer
bill had forced those in charge of it to
withdraw it for action by the Senate
next fall.
Prohibition leaders early in the
night abandoned their effort to hold
up the recess until it had been passed,
failing even to obtain an agreement
fixing a date for a vote on it by the
Senate after Congress reassembles

This grain bill, together with the
measure giving the war finance cor
poration funds to assist in the inan-
