4 TRAFFIC CENSUS

James z. Taylor, secretary of the Yer
mont State Merchants association. has
sent out some facts about road Iegisla-
ton and policies which should be of in
terest to anyone studying our highway
problems. New Hampshire has Just had
! a traffic census and provided herself
! with figures that have lot of meaning.
| The census which was conducted by the
! highway department, was from July l
TO July :. inclusive. and involved daily
24-hour count at 81 different traffic CEN
sus stations.
In comparing. on the basis of the fig
ures obtained this year, the general traf-
/ fic of this year with that of former years.
| it Is estimated that the present daily
motor traffic is go per cent greater
than it was four years ago. The in
crease is explained in part by the prac-
teal doubling of the motor registrations
in New Hampshire in four years, and in
part by the tourist business.
a count was taken on the Lafayette
road at Hampton. which showed that
during the seven days 2O,205 foreign au-
! tomObiles passed that census traffic sta
ton, an average of 2.SS6 foreign cars
day. On Saturday. July l, there were
! four times as many foreign as New
| Hampshire cars passing that point. Of
! the total amount of traffic in New
| Hampshire, the census shows that Al
per cent of the traffic in the state is for
| eign.
The highway commissioner was also
able to determine the roads receiving the
heaviest traffic and which needed to be
treated to hold the road surface Most
of the New Hampshire roads are built
of gravel and after the traffic reaches
500 a day, must be treated with some
suitable binder in order to hold the sur
face.
The data and figures thus gathered has
made it possible to compare New Hamp-
shire conditions with those in other
states and the taking of a traffic census
by citizens at four points along the
Roosevelt highway ~ Vermont gives fig
ures which may be compared with the
figures at three points on the Roosevelt
highway in New Hampshire, namely.
Littleton, Twin Mountain and Glen Sta
ton. But it must be remembered that
the count was taken during different
month and that the Vermont count was
for only u hours day a. m. to Z p.
m, while the New Hampshire count was
for "A hours a day.
The averages of foreign cars per day
for Glen Station, Twin Mountain and
Littleton were $50, 577, and 317 respec-
lively for the week of July 1 to Z. The
averages in August for three days at
st. Johnsbury, two days at Montpelier,
three days at Jonesville, and four days
at Burlington were 172, DIT, 2O4, and
203, respectively.

Wet Seats.

Chic Price likes to tell this on Joe
Smith. They both went to Ken's show
one night last week. 1t had rained in
the afternoon and the show tent leaked
in one place, letting the rain drop down
into reserved seat, filling the sagging
canvas bottom full of water. Price first
spied the vacant seat and asked
someone seated near II 1T was spoken

and when he touched the water he rose
as quietly as possible and sneaked off
to the other side of the reserves. Pres
emily Joe Smith came in and he also
spied the vacant seat UP near the front,
lucky he was, and sat down full force.

SAVING THE MARK.

The Incorporation of a company in
Canada to deal in German marks calls
attention to the fact that the billions of
marks held by credulous investors in this
country and Canada are not necessarily
total loss. They may be worthless
here. but they have some practical value
in Germany. There may be consider
able salvage, then, in using them where
they came from
The value of the mark in Germany
has been higher all along than its value
in international exchange. One might
obtain more food, more merchandise,
more services, more real estate, etc., for

he held through the trying period of the
World war. His has been a remarkable
career. At 10 be landed in Australia
as a penniless and friendless immigrant
Poverty, from which he had fled,
haunted him for half a decade in his new
home. Often he did not know where his
next meal was coming from But force
of character and personality told. and,
10 years after Mr.. Hughes had landed
in Australia as an immigrant. he was
a member of the New South Wales par
lament. being then only 30 years old.
At &c he was member of the federal
parliament, at 40 a cabinet minister, and
at Al attorney general. Ten years later
the man who in his earlier career had
earned Il livelihood as a roustabout and
as a sailor before the mast had become
prime minister of Australia.

it over there than anywhere else. That
is particularly true now. when the ex-
change value of the mark has sunk to
practically nothing.
Sooner or later the vast quantity of
German paper issued seems certain to
lose all its purchasing power even in
the Fatherland. 1t is rapidly approach
ing that catastrophe now. But in the
meantime, anyone with a bale of the
stuff can take it over to Germany and
save something out of the ruin by liv-
ing on it for a while, or investing it.
There will be loss for the investor at
best, but a few crumbs from the loaf are
better than nothing.
There is justice in this process too as
far as it goes. Otherwise Germany
profits by all the gold or goods she has
obtained abroad from this fiat money,
just as surely as a counterfeiter not
called to account profits by his work. 1t
is the only present way to exact repara-
ton for a huge financial flim-fam.

One night we camped at Tower Falls
and got acquainted with q. @. Chitty of
Irving. Kansas, who was driving with
his wife to the coast. They hung their
bacon and other eatables up in bucket
between two trees, but they did not get
it high enough, for during the night
bear jumped up and broke the rope. We
heard the rumpus and looked out of our
tent, and saw Mrs. Gritty in her night
robe chasing the bear away. He got
the bacon but she saved the rest of the
contents of the bucket.-From a letter
in the Alma Enterprise.
