Each county in Indiana now may
adopt this same patrol method for main
county highways. If the good roads
folk in each county are overlooking the
new law. which requires action by the
highway superintendent and commission
ers before the tax levy Is fixed this
month, it will be a pity indeed. This
law gives the proper machinery for max
ing and maintaining county roads like
the State roads are maintained.
The HOosier State Automobile Asso-
citation not only is back of all sane and
sensible good roads projects, but stands
at the forefront in the matter Of civic
work benefiting motorists. There Is a
tremendous demand on our association
for an enlargement Of this civic work in
the way Of erecting danger signs, dlrec-
ton signs, more poIe markings and 9TH
er work Of a public nature. Our mem
bprship campaign this summer has pro-
duced some good results, but there Is
still q marked indifference in many sec
tons to our good works ana plans for
future benefit to motorists. With stu
greater coopera ton much more work
can be accomplished and we nave hopes
that eventually our numerical strength

roads to our commercial centers, but that
does not detract from the Governor S
idea Of saving and improving the roads
we already have by thorough and all
the-year maintenance.
THE HoOsier Automobile Association
is recognized as one of the chief factors
and the pioneer for the good roads move
ment in Indiana We are very largely
responsible for the legislation that makes
good roads possible. We were not only
instrumental in the vast preliminary
work and in the passage of the State
highway commission act, but have been
instrumental in saving this act from
emasculatiOn.
Governor McCrays prOnOuncema nts
in favor of proper care for the gravel and
mac2dam highways have met ready re-
Spouse from motorists of the State who
have been privileged TO travel over State
maintained roads this summer. The State
highway commission is demonstrating
that. through the simple remedy Of ade
quate drainage and sensible and per
sistent surface treatment it is possible
to put such roads in fine shape for
travelling. True. they win require main
tenance all through the year and CON
summer. but the point is the commission
keeps after its roads and the results are
easily justifying themselves.

BRCKgCHE OF WOMEN

The back is often called the main
spring Of a woman's life. What can she
do, where can she go. so long as that
deadly backache saps every particle of
her strength and ambition? She can
not walk. she cannot stand, her house
work Is q burden. or the long hours be-
hind the counter in the office or factory
are crushing. She Is miserable. The
cause is many times some arrangement
of her system, and backacbe is COM
mon symptom. Lydia E. Plnkham's
Vegetable Compound is a reliable rem
edy for backache, as for more than forty
years it has been relieving women of
America from the ailments which often
cause it.-Advertisemsnt.

BETTER BASIS
is SOUGHT FOR
CAR INSURANCE
Reason for National Auto
Chamber Severing With
Underwriters.

Lower insurance rates on a better
basis are sought by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce in severing
relations with the Underwriters LabOra-
tories which would group cars accord
to mechanical construction.
valuation and ignoring the
character Of the policy holder are the
two weakest points in the insurance
methods today, in the opinion of the
automobile makers.
Most of the new cars carrying in
surance are valued at more than their
market price if the owner had to sell
them. Consequently the temptation to
destroy the car is strong for the IN
sorupulous. Many instances are on
record of cars being driven into a river

Scollected The same danger applies for
Afire insurance.
= Though faced with this situation. no
recognition is made of the moral hazard.

e dangers of valuation are not stopped
& this point.

Incident may prove 4 blessing.
The activities of the Underwriters
Laboratories are regarded as too detailed.
The inspections result in classiticatiOns
which are illogical. Parts makers who
do not submit TO the Underwriters
Laboratories tests do not get rated, and
a car accordingly may be unfairly listed
because not all of its parts are super
vised.
Few of the accidents today are due to
faulty construction. The automobile
makers feel that little is gained by the
Underwriters Laboratories tests as the
cause of the high rates lies IN factors
Lot related to mechanical production.
Insurance companies are working on
! these suggestions and a reimbursement in
Apolicies and rates is hoped for in the
ar future.
