CAMPBELL MAN PINNED BE.
MEATH FALLING TRACTOR
A. 7. Pollock Has Narrow Escape
From Death When Heavy Machine
Crashes Through Bridge. 2

Dunklin Democrat: A. T. (Babe)
Pollock of Campbell had narrow
escape from death when the 1920
l. n. c. tractor he was operating
crashed through a bridge into a
ditch between the Eric Smith and
old Lacy farms, four miles west OF
| Campbell, pinning him and another
man, Claude Huff, underneath.
The bridge, which was a make
shift affair of weak stringers, gave
way without warning under the
weight of the big tractor, and the
tractor with its occupants fell eight
feet into the ditch.
Pollock was caught under the left
rear wheel of the heavy machine and
held fast for an hour and a half,
suffering intense pain from his in
juries, while the men with shovels
literally scratched him out. AS the
dirt was removed from about him,
the tractor settled and his position
was made still more dangerous and
painful by the boiling water and red
hot grease and oil escaping from the
engine.
When he was finally released from
under the machine, physicians found
that his left leg had been pierced
almost through by one of the lugs
on the tractor wheel, which had
buried itself in the flesh and bone
just above the ankle. Both bones
were badly fractured and the flesh
wound was terrible cash ten inches
long. An operation was performed
and the doctors now believe that it
Will be possible to save his leg. Mr..
Pollock is getting along as we'll as
could be expected, considering his
injuries, and since there seems to be
no internal injuries, he will doubt
less recover.
The other man on the tractor,
Claude HUFF, was pinned between the
steering wheel and the ditch bank
and badly bruised about the body.
He was quickly released and his in
juries found to be merely painful
bruises and skin abrasions.

REPUBLICANS DEMANDING
REPUBLICAN RESERVATIONS

Senator Capper asking for the re-
signation of Secretary Weeks recalls
the fact that the demand by Re-
publicans in high places in this ad-
ministration is generally prevalent
and is increasing in intensity. The
Republican press, or that part of it
which still retains its independence
and influence with the public, is de
manding the resignation of Attor-
ney-General Daugherty; the de-
mands for Senator Newberry's resig-
nation have been matters Of record
ever since his election; the Wash
ington Herald, which is still sup
posed to reflect the views of Secre-
tary Hoover, although he is out Of it
as an owner, says that the senti-
ment in Congress is such that it may
lead to demand for Secretary Falls
resignation, which ought also to call
| for the resignation of Secretary of
the Navy DENLY on the theory that
the tail goes with the hide; the job
hunters are strongly in favor of the
resignation of Secretary Mellon,
which many think would have been
forthcoming If he had been over
ruled in the matter of appointments
in the international Revenue Bu-
reau.
Still, as President Harding re-
tmarked, Government is very sim
pie thing, after ALL"

PRACTICAL ROAD BUILDING VS..
IMPRACTICAL ROAD BUILDING

A minimum width of IS feet for
hard-surfaced roads is recommended
by the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agri.
culture. The maximum width of truck
body generally permitted lis eight feet
and liz is the ordinary clearance
width of automobiles. At an average
speed of 80 miles an hour it Is un-
reasonable to expect the driver of an
automobile to drive with the wheels
closer than I2 feet to the edge of
the pavement, says the Bureau. For
trucks at an average speed of 15 miles
an hour, this distance should not be
less than 1 "a feet, on account of the
great width of the rear wheel. Three
feet seems to be a minimum safe clear
ance between bodies. 1nasmuch as Il
certain amount of truck traffic is to
be expected on all main country roads
the minimum width of surface should
be IS feet to provide these clearances
when an automobile meets truck.
Where the frequency with which
trucks pass each other becomes big
factor, as in the neighborhood of
large cities the minimum width of
pavement should be 20 feet to provide
a clearance of 8 1l2 feet and safe dis
tance of wheels from edge of pave.
ment.
And there are other things neces-
sary to the building Of good roads,
the most important of which is the
finishing of the surface, fiat, or just
sufficiently oval for drainage. In
stead of being finished in this way,
some of the roads in Pemiscot county
are rounded up like potato ridges.
Particularly is this true of the Ken.
nett and Hayti highway, at least all
of that part of it we have seen.
Such roads are never good, not even
in dry weather. Riding Over them
is uncomfortable, any time. We
hicles traversing such roads have
most of the weight thrown upon the
outside wheels, causing bitches or
ruts to be cut on the low side, always
making a bad condition worse. Such
roads are also hard on the vehicle,
and the sliding of the wheels causes
continuous cutting away of the
embankment. Such roads are hard
er to build and harder to keep in
order. There is no end to the bad
features that might be named. One
that should not be overlooked is the
mobile can be turned around on such
road. 1t is almost impossible to do
so without getting into the ditch.
There is no excuse save ignorance
and ineXperience for the building of
such roads. Such work is against
reason and common sense.
AS you travel about over Pemiscot
county, notice the difference be-
tween level roads and ridged roads.
In every instance you will find the
level roads the best. The writer t"s
noticed these conditions in Pemiscot
county for nearly thirty years, and
the test of time is all on the side of
level roads.
When our roads are built the
work should be done by practical
and experienced men. not by novices,
those who have had little or no ex-
perience with our climate or soil.
