A THREE-MONTHS study of motor accidents on
"A Maryland roads has brought to light the in
teresting disclosure that majority of the dis
selves by their recklessness and that 90 per
cent OF them due to speeding, says the Bureau
OF Public Roads OF the Department Of Agriculture.
One Of the interesting developments of the in
vestigaton is that the largest number of accidents
have occurred the places that have always been
considered SAFE while the sections which have been
commonly regarded as being extremely dangerous are
proving to be relatively free from accidents Where
the State highway the Blue Ridge Mountains
in the western part Of the State, and grades are steep
and curves sharp, there but eight accidents dur
ing three months. On the National Pike, between
Baltimore and Frederick there fortyeight miles
OF the straghtest road in the State the record for
the time showed sixteen accidents three OF which
were aftal Yet few stretches of highway in the whole
road system are so free Of any features which might
be considered dangerous.
On the Baltimore Wa shngton road with all ap-
parent danger spots removed the record shows that
during the same period there was one accident for
every four miles of road
There seems to be only to account
for these hitherto unsuspected conditions. That
swer is that the less careful motorists drive
cautiously in the OF recognized dangers such
as steep grades, sharp curves, grade crossings, etc.
while the absence of such dangerous features gives
the driver sense of security which prompts him to
take chance and yield to the well-ngh universal
passion for speed.
Few accidents due, it found, the

has just been completed tunnel through which
tor cars will be run for the purpose Of conducting
study of the problems arising in obvating the danger
from automobile exhaust gases in vehcuar tunnels.
The investigation is being conducted by the bu-
reau in cooperation with the New York and New
Jersey State Bridge and Tunnel commissions. with the
special object of solving the ventilation problem of
the 5000 feet tubes being designed to handle the
traffic between New York City and New Jersey
der the Hudson River.
The experimental tunnel is completely equipped
with sensitive apparatus for measuring the tempera
ture humidity, quantity velocity and pressure Of the
air in various parts of the tunnel. total of forty
eight air samping tubes has been installed eight
cross-sectons of the tunnel in order to obtain
pies for chemical analysis for determining the diffu
sion and concentration of the exhaust gases in
rious parts of the tunnel with different method of
ventilation
An important feature of the experiment tunnel

Each driver and observer in the tunnel will be

The ground temperature surrounding the tunnel is

installed for heating and humidying the air to any
of the conditions that may the hottest
mer day.
IN previous Investigations road tests made
IoI automobiles and trucks for the purpose of
determining the composition and amount of exhaust
gases that might be taken representative of actual
operating conditions prevailing in the proposed in
terstate tunnel. These road tests showed that the
percentage OF carbon monoxide the poisonous con-
sthent of automobile exhaust gases, for the various
individual cars varied from os to I4o per cent Pas
senger and speed trucks level grades fifteen
and twenty miles per hour avareaged 10 per cent,
and and one-half to five ton trucks at ten miles
per hour averaged 70 per cent carbon monoxide
This information in connection with a traffic
count of the motor cars that will use the New York
New Jersey tunnel. enable the tunnel engineers to
calculate the total quantity of exhaust gas that would
be evolved in the tunnel Before calculation could be
made on the amount of air that must be used in ade
quate ventilation, it necessary to determine the
largest proportion Of these exhaust (more espe
cially carbon monoxide) in air that breathe
without any harmful effects whatever.
A large amount of experimental work was car
red with actual tests-frst animals and then
men-at the physiological laboratory of Yale Uni
versity. 1t found that when exhaust gases are
diluted with fresh air to the point where the
tation of carbon monoxde does exceed four parts
in 10000 parts Of air. there is noticeable harmful
effect This result agrees with practical experience
of engineers with regard to the effect Of carbon
noxide in mine gases and around blast furnaces and
gas producers.
Investigations for determining the best method
of supplying the requisite amount Of fresh air for the
interstate tunnel being carried the Univer-
sy of Illinois halfsze experimental duct 900 feet
long has been constructcd also ful-size elbows Of
several patterns. Much information cocficcnts of
air flow in confined spaces has been obtained which
will be of great value in connection with the general
studies in reference to mine gases and mine ventia-
ton.

F. O. Bacon Has Splendid Dairy
Farm in MeHeary Co.

w. A. Almy, M. D. Graham, o. X.
Spires and F. o. Bacon made trip
to Mr.. Bacon's famous dairy farm,
which is located on the Mouse river
8 miles south Of Denbigh and
miles north of Karlsruhe, Sunday
where they spent the day. Mr..
Spires informs the Independent that
Mr.. Bacon has the finest dairy farm
in the state. He has three quarter
sections of land which groHs plenty
of fine hay and pasture and there are
a good many acres of the very finest
timber to be found in North Dakota.
Located on hill back of the barns, is
a spring which furnishes an abun-
dance or fine pure water the year
round, which can be piped to any part
of the farm. The barns have plenty
of water and Mr.. Bacon keeps them
as neat as wax. The farm is in
charge Of Mr.. Scholl and 23 Guern-
sey cows, practically all of them high
grade and purchased from Mr.. Spires
some time ago are being MIXED.
The work of milking is done by Mrs.
Scholl and a twelve-year-old boy,
with De Laval milking machine.
The work requires but a little time
night and morning.
Mr.. Bacon has three silos and they
have all been filled from 40 acre
corn field. There is enough corn left
to fill another silo. Mr.. Spires says
the corn is the finest he has seen in
North Dakota. The party enjoyed
one of Mrs. Scholl's famous dinners.
Mr.. Bacon and Mr.. Spires are a.
mong the Ward County dairymen
who will attend the National Dairy
Show in st. Paul next week. Mr..
Bacon resides in Minot, and is now at
the head of the Farmers Implement
& Supply Co.
