TUNNEL PROBLEMS

The Government is making use of
the only coal mine it owns for scien
tific experiments and one of these is
for the purpose of determining how
to obviate the danger from exhaust
gases in vehicular tunnel 1t is to
be hoped this will not interfere with
any experiments whereby the public
may obtain coal more cheaply if such
are being made. Nevertheless that
inquiry into the amount of poison
distributed in the atmosphere by
automobile exhausts in vellicular
tunnels is of especial interest in view
of the fact that such tunnels are to
be built.
The investigation is being conduct
ed in co operation with the New
York and New Jersey State Bridge
and Tunnel Commissions which are
endeavoring to solve the problem of
ventilating 5000 feet of tubes de-
signed to handle the traffic between
jersey City and New York under the
Hudson River.
In the test conditions will be
sought whereby the poisonous mon
oxide shall not exceed four parts to
ten thousand parts of air and tests
also will be made to show the effects
on the operators.
The attempt to make the congested
areas, the big cities with all their
modern conveniences and appliances,
decently fit for human habitation is
much more difficult than tile making
of the country places habitable and
the results are not always success
full. Yet there are many who prefer
all risk from monoxide gases to the
clear wholesome air OF the hills.

HOW HANDLE THE TRAFFIC.?

Handling Traffic During High
way Construction. the subject of
Chief Engineer sargent's paper be-
fore the Boston conference of high
way commissioners. is a most timely
one. The experience users of our
highways are having ought % war
rant their reading of what Mr.. Sar-
gent has to say.
The great increase in commercial
traffic and the greater difficulty in
providing Accommodations for it on
highways undergoing construction or
repairs emphasize the need of some
practical solution of the problem.
Valuable data has been obtained
from the experience of the past few
years showing the expense and diff
culties Of the detour system; also of
the arrangement for permitting the
traffic to pass over roads in process of
construction. From all this it ap-
pears that there is considerable eX-
pense connected with maintaining de-
tours. greater than is generally I'M
derstood. On the other hand, as all
will readily understand the passing of
traffic over the highway on which
work is in progress is expensive be-
cause of its interference with the
work, also because of disadvantages
to the process Of construction. Con-
tractors, it appears think this adds
about twenty five percent TO the cost.
The ultimate solution Mr.. Sargent
believes will be in widening the roads.
building the added width while
traffic passes on the old road and
then turning the traffic to the new
part while the old is being repaired.
This he expects to see undertaken
within the next ten years.

Early in the year Kansas CT

Early in the year Kansas City's
chamber of commerce adopted the
slogan Get it done" and was really
in earnest about it. A committee Of
one hundred was got together repre-
sentins the industries and the city
government. public spirit was
aroused, the women taking part;
streets were widened. garbage diff
culties were smoothed away money
was spent but something worth while
was found in exchange for it and the
town has prohted. 1t is surprising
what that sort of impetus will &C
conplish, but in some places a large
quantity of 7 y 7 is required to set
it in motion and keep it going.

Yours faithfully.

Here are some of the occurrences
when the national government was
under the control of a Democratic ad-
ninistration and New York City was
being administered by the Demo-
Gratis: The Government rented one
pier to a private corporation for s63
a day and that concern rented it to
the Shipping Board for $3.50 day:
two other piers were leased to an
English concern which rented it to
the Shipping Board for 1925 per day.
And these are but two of many in
stances. Surely no cause to wonder
that the Shipping Board lost money
or that Tammany officials acquired
money with which to speculate.

"PLAIN CROOKS"

THE Russia Of workers is on the
brink of disaster and ruin. Famine
grips the throat of the exhausted ma
ton. and the Soviet had no alter
native but to yield on the question of
certain details in order to provide
bread for the dying"
But the Lenin government in this
recent declaration asserts that it has
not given up its fight for a world
wide revolution. In other words it is
willing to accept charity from those
nations which it has tried to revelu-
tionize and yet intends to overthrow
either by propaganda or by force
This serves to emphasize the ac-
cusation of prominent American
manufacturer just returned from a
visit in Russia of several months
duration. He went after business
and before going was very pro-
nounced in his opinions favorable to
the Russian soviet and much in
censed because this country would
not recognize that government and
establish trade relations.
'"They are nothing more than plain
crooks" he now declares; not to be
trusted or dealt with and really hav-
ing nothing worth while to trade. Like
many unbelievers after conversion he

Asked why he so promptly plunged

pointed; and second. that failure on
his part would be "a reflection on the

saving plan so that another year
there will rot be the confusion which
has existed this last year Most Of
the cities were on daylight time.
many of the towns remained on
standard, and it created much trou-
Bile. especially for those who were
travelling. 1t seems that daylight
time has come to stay. in the cities
anyway, and If towns should agree to
adopt it during the shorter period
which has prevailed the last year, it
would eliminate much of the confu-
sion which has existed. Why not
put the matter up at the various
town meetings to see if some such
agreement can be reached. It will be
more beneficial to the state at large
and we will then be in line with Mas

which We depend for a large part of
