things about the hair, things based
on her wide and personal experience,
things too valuable to be lost in the
tiny room where she yields brush
and a vibrator and where she juggles
tall bottles of sweet smelling oils.
"The average woman is too harsh
with her hair" she said tho other
day. EITHER she brushes 1t furi-
ously, or she doesn't brush 1t at all !;
either she sticks over 1t when wash
ing, or she washes the life from it."

ROAD
BUILDING
CAUSE OF DAMAGE TO ROADS
Pernicious Practice of Overlooking
Small Trucks With Narrow Tires
Is Responsible.

With the rapid increase in the num-
Der of mOtortrucks operated over our
highways, it has been found that
many of what are called improved
roads have failed TO withstand the adj
ditional traffic imposed by the new
form of local freight transport. ms
has given rise TO new problems OF
road construction and maintenance,
and in some states has led to the en-
actment of laws prohibiting the use
of the large capacity truck, on the
assumption that it is the heavy truck
that does most of the damage to the
road. The first result of this legiSla-
ton has been to encourage the PERM
ciOus practice of overlooking, under
which trucks designed to carry safe
ly limited weight are forced to car
ry large additional load, The tires
of the various sizes of truck are made
of q sufficient width to prevent their
breaking or cutting the road surface
when loaded to their proper full ca
pacity, but when an overload is add
ed the tire width is necessarily too
narrow, and the danger of injury to
the road becomes manifest. The tire
width required for certain loads has
been carefully worked out after many
years experience, and most states
have laws fixing the weight that Is
borne by an inch of tire width. In all
standard types of truck the width of
tire corresponds to the load that can
be safely carried, and truck manu-
facturers warn their customers against
carrying a greater weight than that for
which each size of truck is designed.
The enactment of law prohibiting
the use of large capacity trucks leaves
the same tonnage of freight to be
moved, and with the heavy truck
barred resort must be had to the
smaller sizes. This means in many
cases less economical and efficient
service, and prompts the manufacture
er or merchant to try to make up for
loss In load capacity by increasing the
size of the load. With this additional
load the gross weight on the tire eX-
ceeds the factor of safety. and there
by increases the danger of breaking
the road surface. 1t Is self-evident
that a truck designed to carry two
tons with corresponding width of tires,

PLAN TO ESTABLISH
STANDARDS FOR HAY
Work Includes Analyses of Diff
ferent Samples.
Endeavoring to Determine Importance
of Factors Now Used in Fixing
Grade of Commodity and Feed
inq Value of Product

Sample bales of hay are being COL
lected by the bureau of markets, Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
from producers, shippers, and consum-
ers for the purpose of establishing
standards for hay. The work is pro-
vided for by an act of congress, and
includes analyses of the hay samples
of the factors now used in determin-
ing the grade of the commodity, in
Guiding the color, mixture, and text
ure. Moisture determinations and
other analyses to ascertain the rela-
tive feeding value of various hay mix
lures will also be made.
The work is in charge Of a special
list from the hay, feed and seed d.
vision of the bureau, and the labora-
tory has been established at POI South
Strand street, Alexandria, Va.
The equipment used includes sepa-
rating tables especially constructed
for this work, display tables for use
in color determinations, and racks and
boxes for holding the various type
samples as well as a hay cutter and
grinder operated by a 15-hOrsepow-
err motor. These two machines cut
and grind the hay to a degree of fine
ness suitable for making the mois-
ture tests and chemical analysis. An
electric drying oven, also constructed
especially for the work, Is used In
the moisture tests and in reducing
the hay to a uniform moisture con
tent for the other analyses.
The Standardization work is now
well begun and 1t is expected that
tentative grades for timothy and per-
haps clover will be promulgated be.
fore the close of the fiscal year.
