HUGE NETWORK OF HIGHWAYS
When FederaI-Ald System ls Com.
pIeted There Will Be 10000
Miles Of Roads.

prepared b. the United States Department
of Agricuture)
When the federal-aid highway sys-
TEN, provided for by the recently en-
acted federal highway act, is COM
pleted there will be a network of
roads 10000 miles in length covering
the whole United States. The time
required for the completion of the
system will depend upon the rate at
which the necessary federal funds are
provided, say officials of the bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, which admins
ters federal-aid money.
An Idea of what these roads will
mean to the country can be gained by
studying the effect of roads built in
recent years and picturing what would
happen should they be torn UP and
left in their former condition.
Should these roads go back to their
former state and the motor vehicles
which have come with them disappear
there would be many changes. Many
suburbanites would have to move into
the city and there would be a decrease
in value of suburban real estate.
Cities would have trouble in getting
their fresh milk and food supply.

SUGGEST YELLOW
LIGHTS ON REAR
Motorists Liable to Confuse Sig-
nails Along Roads to Indi-
cate Danger.
ENGINEERS APPROVE SCHEME
II Will Take Some Time to Make
Change as Laws in Many States
Require Red Lamps-Replace-
ment Won't Be Costly.

Automobile engineers are consider
ing the advisability of using yellow in
place Of red tail lights so as to min
lmize the danger of motorists confus-
ing lights placed along highways to
Indicate dangerous road conditions
with automobile tail lights.
Many accidents occur owing to mo-
torists being confused in this way.
The red light on the rear Of the rail-
road trains is probably the origin of
the red tail light of automobiles. The
railroad train operates on q track and
the rear end of that train is dangerous
because train following cannot turn
out to avoid the preceding train. AS
automobiles do not operate on tracks,
however, an automobile following an
other can generally turn out and pass
1t. 1t will thus be appreciated that the
rear end of an automobile Is danger
Gus only when it is slowing down or
standing at the roadside. The use Of
red lights in automatic or manually
operated stop signals for the rear of
automobiles is therefore logical.
The members of the passenger car
and motor truck Standardization COM
mittees of the Society of Automotive
Engineers, national engineering So
ciety Of over 5000 engineers and ex-
ecutives of automobile and other auto
motive manufacturers, have studied
this proposed change and generally ap-
prove of it. The fact, however, that
the use of red lights is required by
law in many states will mean that
the change to yellow tail lights cannot
be made until the laws in these states
are revised.
1t will, they point out, take some
time to bring about any complete
change from red to yellow tail lights,
but once the wisdom of making such
change is fully appreciated by motor
lists, legislators will see that the state
highway laws are revised to permit
the change. The use of existing tail
lamps will In no case be affected, as
1t will be possible to obtain yellow
lamp glasses to replace the red lamp
glasses now in service, If such re-
placement is wished by the individual
owners.
The use Of yellow as an automobile
tail light will have an exact parallel
in railway operation. inasmuch as yell
low is used by the railroads as a eau
tion light. This Is really what the
tail light of an automobile Is intended
to be, to caution the following machine
that care must be exercised in over
taking and passing other automobiles.

TREATING STERILITY IN cow
Most Cases Become Chronic or Perma.
nent Unless Properly Handled
by Veterinarian.

In many herds where abortion dis
ease Is present, from five to ten per
cent of the cows become sterile or bar
rem, and most cases become chronic
or permanent unless they are treated
by qualified veterinarian. DR.. w. l..
Williams of the New York State Vet
Urinary college is to be given credit
for the plan of procedure in handling
these cows. The treatment should not
be neglected too long after the cows
manifest this symptom.
A thorough examination of the pa
tient is necessary to locate the trou-
BILE either in the uterus, ovaries or
fallopian tubes, and treated accord
iEgly. 1t Is not uncommon for skilled
operator to restore FIVE out of six cases
to a reproductive state under favor
able conditions.
Cases of long standing should be
sold to the butcher, as the treatment
fails to help them. A case of more
than eight months to one years
standing is very discouraging to the
operator, for he realizes that function
al changes have taken place in the
reproductive organs that will be diff
cult to correct by treatment. There
fore do not delay having an animal
examined and treated in the beginning
Of the trouble instead of waiting until
it is too late. The annual loss caused
by sterility would be surprisingly high

PRICE OF LABOR FAVORABLE
Indications Are That There Will Be
No Drawbacks Along That
Line This Season.

Labor costs on federal-aid projects
under construction this year indicate
that there will be no drawback along
this line in the building of roads dur
ing the coming season, according to
the bureau of public roads, United
States Department of Agriculture. The
price for common labor ranged around
20 and 30 cents an hour in great ma
jority of the states, being somewhat
lower in the Southern states and GO
Ing up to nearly 90 cents an hour in
the Pacific states. The prices of
teams reported were in great many
instances as low as the 1914 level. 1t
is probable, however, that there will
be an increase when the farming sea-
son begins, as teams have always
been cheaper in winter.

RATION MUST BE ATTRACTIVE
Dairy Cow to Do Well Requires Feed
Containing Proper Elements
for Milk Flow.

Cows won't do we'll on food that
isn't palatable, say the feeding men
at the New York College of Agricul-
ture at Ithaca. Not only must the
dairy cows ration contain the proper
elements If she is to be 'worth her
keep" but 1t must be so attractive to
her that she will eat plenty and keep
up good flow Of milk.
On the other hand, say the dairy
men, it isn't wise to change ration
suddenly even to make it better. A
cow is a delicate milk-producing ma
chine, and sudden changes In her food
are quite likely to upset some part Of
the machinery, with resulting loss Of
milk.
The condition of the food probably
has most to do with its palatability /;
moldy grains or roughage don't appeal
to any self-respecting COW.

YOU AUTO KNOW

That 1t is extremely danger
GUS TO allow an automobile en-
gine to run in small garage or
other inclosed space, unless the
door issopen and there is plenty
of ventilation. The danger is
not to the car itself, but to those
who are in the garage, for the
exhaust from the engine, mix
Ing with the air, forms carbon
monoxide and carbon dioxide-
the latter being carbonic acid
gas which is deadly to all living
organisms. In addition, the car
bon monoxide is also extremely
dangerous and the nitrogen in
the air, from which the oxygen
has been taken, forms still an
other menace.
These gases, two Of which is
sue rapidly from the exhaust
pipe Of the car and the other
being formed as speedily as a re-
suit of this issuance, will, In an
amazingly short time, reduce the
air in small garage to point
where 1t is highly poisonous. For
this reason gasoline motor
should never be allowed to run
in order to "heat up" a garage,
nor should the driver permit the
engine to warm itself up unless
the door Of the garage Is wide
open.

Inside this pipe is gas-burner of
