day, The committee believes that
10000 mixed vehicles In the twenty
four-hour day represent tho practical
limits of traffic on any one road. In
tho case of heavier traffic developing
between two points 1t Is believed wiser
to construct q parallel road on q sepa-
rate right of way rather than to widen
the original road. The committee
agreed on this 10o-foot right Of way
with road forty feet wide Of concrete
paving, with reinforcing steel embedded
ten inches thick and laid in q continu-
GUS slab without central subdivision.
the section is to be drained by catch
basins and submerged tile under the
earth shoulders. The ideal road IL to
have no curves Of radius Of less than
1000 feet, and all curves will be tipped
up at the outer edge, to allow for
speed Of thirty-hve miles an hour. The
route is to be lighted so that DINNERS
could be used in the open country, and
there will also be a footpath for pedes-
TRANS.
The committee allowed for twenty-five
feet of right of way at the outer edge for
development by a landscape architect,
also to provide for frequent park and
camp sites and other facilities for the
IVihAoAc anu eHJoyment oI Vne traVeleI.
All entertainments are to be protected
with guard rails and warning signs. All
distractions so far as possible to be
eliminated for 500 feet each way from
intersections and no advertising signs
are to be permitted. The ideal section,
it is expected, will be completed within
year and may be only one or two
miles in length. Tho United States

funds necessary to construct it,

auto Insurance
Rates Haze Gone Up

As expected, tho automobile In
surancc rates for colliaion have
been increased. Announcement was
made on Friday that new schedules
have becn made for original and re-
newal business. In Manhattan,
Bronx and Queens 60 per cent in
crease has been ordered In the old
rates, and this increase also APP
plies to parts OF New Jersey and
certain sections in Connecticut.
This is for full coverage. On the
$50 deductible coverage for col
lision insurance 40 per cent in
crease has been registered. This is
for the same territory as above,
with the exception Of Connecticut
and some suburban parts of New
York and New Jersey. Tho increase
on the 800 deductible coverage is
81 1-S per cent. L. II. G.

The Scrap Pile

One of the great Inconvenience Of
motoring in New York is the absence
of parking space. For instance. any
one driving into the far downtown dis
trict cannot find a place to leave his
car without molestation by the police.
Tenancy in an Office building gives no
one any riparian rights, SO to say. The
mere necessity of having to leave a
car in front of a building while doing
business for an hour or more is, of
course, no excuse with the police. The
people in the neighborhood of City
Hall get some relief, because there is
q public parking space back of the
Municipal Building, but it is very
limited in size and, of course, is not
entirely convenient.
1t would be good scheme to make
use of some of the space around the
statue of Franklin for automobile
parking and, of course, if the precincts
of City Hall were not sacred to the
administration it would be possible to
drive a great many cars in to face the
City Hall and leave them there for
parking purposes. Something will have
to be done, of course, to improve on
parking conditions, because the number
of automobiles in the city is increasing

is one that grows
The growing traffic problem of this
town is not going to be completely
solved until some control is exercised
over the manners and methods of taxi
cab drivers. Much of the trouble in
traffic proceeds from the way in which
taxicabs are operated. A cruising taxi
cab driver looking to pick up fares
holds up the traffic regardless. How
ever, when once he gets somebody
aboard he drives as fast as he can and
apparently without any regard for the
rights of others.
Another thing that calls for de-
cded improvement is the condition of
the taxicabs them selves. No other
frst-grade city in the world probably
has as many wrecks masquerading
under the guise of taxicabs as we have
here. 1t isn't fair to the legitimate
competition of real good taxicab COM
panies that the wrecks should be per-
mitted to compete. But even more
than that, it isn't fair to the publ:
to be asked to ride in such vehicles.
There must be something very Pc
culiar, after all, about the State of
New Jersey. One of the most recent
things emanating from that state would
impel any one interested in automo-
biles to apologize for any unfavorable
comment ever before made. A commits

Gently reported. Some of the state
ments made bear on the damage done
by motor vehicles to highways and. bv
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-04-17

established that most Of the so-called
pavement failures caused by auto
traffic occur on roads that were either
not properly constructed or never in
tended for this type of traffic. These
statements are not made with the OBJ
Ject to shield the trucks or bolittle
the damage they do, for there is no
dlsputing the fact that heavily loaded
trucks do tremendous damage to
some OF our highways, even if they are
not entirely responsible for the fail
ures. The only object here is to locate
the real cause of these failures in or
der that they may be corrected and
future failures prevented. If the
trucks are not the real cause an in
crease in the license fees of these
vehicles would not necessarily stop the
occurrence of these failures"
The report draws the conclusion that
If the use of motor vehicles requires
the construction of the most expensive
type of pavement it is not unfair that
the vehicles should pay a proportion of
the increase, but it states also: an
placing restrictions upon the modern
commercial vehicle the fact should also
not be lost sight of that these vehicles
are modern necessity and that it
would be a step backward to prevent
the load on long hauls the lower the
cost Consequently, if the five and six
ton vehicles are eliminated from using
our highways it means that the price
of the commodities carried by these
vehicles will be increased"
Here is a significant thing from the
report: at must be borne in mind
that modern pavemcnts are not worn
out by heavy traffic Thero n 20
plenty of pavemcnts in this state that
are five to eight years old which are
carrying heavy motor traffic but which
show little if any effects of such
traffic. They were properly construct
ed on stable foundations"
Speaking Of highways, the board of
highway experts appointed by the Lin
coin Highway Association has agreed
on the general specifications for an
ideal section to be constructed so that
it will be easy of access from all parts
of the country for the purpose of in
spection and also where it will carry
most representative. and diversified
traftc In the course Of the coming
years. 1t is designed to be a model for
the finest and most adequate type Of
main road building. The experts gath
cred opinions from everywhere and
consulted thousands of specifications
in arriving at the conclusion. The ideal
section is not supposed to be the only
type of road to be built anywhere, but
is offered as a suggestion of the proper
lines along which to work.
The section is designed to carry an
average traffic of $4,000 passenger cars,
travelling at thirty-five miles an hour,
and 5000 motor trucks, travelling at ten
miles an hour, in a twenty four-hour

IMPORTANT TO EX-SERVICE
MEN

Ex-service men who desire to pro-
tect their families with Government
life insurance, should note carefully
the fact that if their insurance poll
cies have lapsed, they cannot rein
state them after December 81. 1921.
At any time before that date, it will
be mans privilege to apply for re-
instatement of his insurance in multi
pies of $500 to amount not less
than 81 900. If his insurance has
lapsed for 8 months, it will be neces-
sary for him to have full medical
examination before reinstatement. If
he has disability due to his military
service, he will also be required to
pay all back monthly premiums in ar
rears together with interest at the
rate Of per cent. per annum COM
pounded annually on each premium
from the date said premium is due
by the terms of the policy. However,
if a man is not disabled and is in
good health, he will be required to
pay one premium for the month of
lapse, on the amount of insurance he
wishes to renstate.
If a mans term insurance is in
force and he merely wishes TO con-
vert it to one of the permanent forms
Of Government Insurance, no eXamn-
alton is necessary and he may con-
vert it at any time before March 3,
1926 The Red Cross desires In call
special attention to the abovc ar
nuurcement end states that blanks
for the use of men desiring to rein
state or to convert their term insur-
ance may be obtained at Red Cross
headquarters, 500 Harrison Street,
Flint
1t is desirable for ex-service men
to convert their insurance at as early
date as possible, thereby placing
their insurance on a permanent basis
and level premium at an early age.

THE CLIO MESSENGER
Published Weekly at Clio, Michigan
Charles II. Reed, Editor

Rex Beach, well known in certain
circles as an author and playwright,
is quoted in the public prints as say
ing:
"The motion picture is going to
shake off censorship, because it is un-
fair and unnatural.
1.-The adult enjoys going to the thea
tres as well as the child, and motion
pictures must be an expression and
art of the adults.
| IF mothers don't want their chill
dren to see pictures with sex and
crime In them, then let the mothers
keep their children at home"
1t is quite evident to the thinking
reader that Mr.. Beach, whatever the
degree Of his genius, Is narrow
guage individual living in a broad
guage world. His thought Is
evidently completely subordinate
to his greed and selfish ambition.
What does he mean by IAN express
ion and art of the adults? Is
every base and nasty perversion
of the sex instinct an expression of
art" There are some new thinkers"
and psychologist contortionists, whose
mental processes are too deep for or
binary comprehension, who figure it
out that way. Is the INSTALLATION of
murder and robbery a good thing for
the plastic mind of youth? Is it a
good means of developing the highest
and best, as well as the happiest, type
of citizenship. There are also those,
cuddling up to individual weaknesses
of one sort or another, who will main
tain that it is. Mr.. Beach is appar-
emily one of these Furthermore, is
society discharging its highest obliga-
ton in the highest way by allowing
the child to be surrounded with all
of the instrumentalities of depravity,
as we'll as of virtue, allowing it to
pick for itself and then holding the
mother responsible for the results?
1t does not, however, require much IN
the way of erudition and experience
for the ordinary mind to entertain the
opinion that environment is a mighty
factor in the shaping of character
and, progressively, that upon the col
lective character of people depends
everything that civilization holds
dear. This being true, we have faith
to believe that the people of this
country, in the very proper exercise
of legislative authority, are not going
to permit that crime and licentious-
ness, no less by suggestion than by
precept, be taught the growing boys
and girls of the commonwealth, Mr..
Beach to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. In our country it is not license
for the individual, but the welfare
of society that must govern. The
subordination of individual license to
the common welfare is the outstand-
ing principle of civilization. 1t is
the outgrowth of experience. intelli-
oence and sentiment directed toward
the elevation of mankind. We be-
lieve that no little crime and vast
amount of human degeneracy can be
charged to vicious screen productions
and, differing from Mr.. Beach,
though disclaiming Puritanical views,
we have faith to believe that such
plays ought to be and will be placed
under legislative ban.
