TripIe Goes to Waste.
Rawlings got another triple in the

TRAFFIC CENSUS OF TRUCKS
information as to Speed and Size Of
Average Vehicle Obtained in
New England.

How large Is the average truck and
how fast does 1t travel? This question
and others of interest to truck owners
and users of the highways are an.
swered by information obtained In a
recent traffic census taken by the bu-
reau Of public roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture, on one OF
the most Travelled highways In New
England. The census disclOses that
40 per cent of the trucks were Of l ton
capacity or less; 33 per cent between
/ and 2h tons; per cent between
21a and 5 tons; and that less than 2
per cent of the trucks were Of more
than 5 tons capacity.
On a level stretch Of road, over
which the speed Of motor vehicles
was timed, It was found that more
trucks travelled at speed Of 20 miles
an hour thar at any other rate. Thir-
ty-seven per cent travelled 20 miles
an hour or faster. One truck, whose
driver said he was In hurry to get
there, was found to be travelling at
speed Of 45 miles an hour.

Belated Justice for "Boy Desperadoes"

THREE small boys, seven, eight and
= eleven, now serving five-year prison
terms for alleged burglary of post
office In West Virginia. soon will gain
their liberty and be returned to their
parents through the interest and inter-
vention of Mrs. Warren G. Harding.
Investigation Of their cases by the
Department Of Justice, which followed
Mrs. Hardlng's Intervention, disclosed
an unusual chain Of circumstances
which led to the Imprisonment Of these
youthful desperadoes." officials said
they never should have been sentenced.
They already have served about six
months in the national reform school.
The lads are Andy Bergola, seven;
Frank Boska, eight, and Teddy Bos-
ka, eleven. Their parents live at
Weirton, w. Va. They were tried in
the Federal court Of northern West
Virginia before Judge Baker and were
sentenced along with seven other old
er boys, ranging in years up to fifteen,
each to five years at penal servitude.
The chief evidence against the
youngsters, 1t Is shown now, was fur
nished by bloodhounds. The dogs used
by the police of Weirton took up
