Up on the roof of her tene- ment where she could not even see the street, he looked into her eyes and saw the age old story. She was just as clean as the moonlight which furnished them light upon the roof, and he learned to be man but not until a miracle came to this girl woman It came when the man she thought the finest being on earth was in danger. It's a smashing story and with all as tender as the mother love for her first baby.

DRIVERS CAN IMPROVE ROADS
by Driving Over Middle and Other
Less Used Parts.

Drivers can prevent wear to the
surfaces of the roads and even I'm
prove their condition IL instead Of
driving in one track or on the edge
Of the road they will drive over the
middle and other less used parts Of
the road when traffic PERMITS. The
one thing that Is fatal above all
things to road surfaces, whether dirt
or paved, Is driving In tracks, which
subjects one small part Of the road
surface to all the traffic and damage
that the whole road accommodates.
Traffic should be evenly distributed
over the entire surface Of the road,

be no impact, regardless Of the speed
or weight Of load. Since such an ideal
condition is practically impossible. road
engineers recognize that all factors
which increase or reduce the impact
Of load are of the utmost impor-
lance In planning highway construc-
ton and regulation
The placing of the larger part Of
the load OF the rear axle is only one Of
several factors which lead to high i'm
pact forces. In general. the in
creased speed of the truck will in
crease the impact, hence the necessity
for keeping the operating speed within
reasonable limits. Roads kept as
smooth as possible by careful main
tenance will reduce the possibility OF
trucks exerting impact and pressure
forces upon the highway surface. Cush-
ion or pneumatic tires also reduce
impact and cause less damage to
the highways than those Of hard
rubber. especially II the latter are not
kept In good repair.
