"The wages fixed by the recent de-
clsions of this board will purchase
more than the wages received by

words, their wages have been increas-
ed by a greater percentage than has

the increase is strikingly notable.

so cheaply and pathetically gotten
up for effect, so obviously of the
theater, so fundamentally weak in
character, so evidently the desperate
woman who throws her whole life
into one thing-and sees it leaving
her. Without warning, she turned
upon Molly:
'You doll-faced little thief, how
dare you try to steal him from me /!
It's he loves. It's | he promised

A wave of heartsick feeling swept

the labor articles of the transporta-

ROADS
FACTORS AFFECTING GRADING
Labor Costs, Character of Soil Graded
and Time Limit on Contracts
All Counted.

f,renared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A great variation in the conditions
under which grading for highways is
done in different sections of the United
States Is reflected in cost data COM
piled by the bureau of public roads,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, on 1850 miles of federal-aid road.
The figures cover the four-year period
1917-1921 and are based on total of
24,5O0,OO0 yards of earth.
For the groups of states the aver
age price per cubic yard is as fol-
lows: New England and Middle At
lantic states, $1.33; East North Cen
trail, $0.6S; West North Central, S0.49;
South Atlantic, $0.61; East South Cen
tral, $O.41; West South Central, $0.35 !;
Mountain, $0.52; and Pacific states,
$O.61. The general average price was
$0.56.
Probably the most important factor
affecting the cost was the amount of
grading to be done per mile, the
quantity being very small In the
groups having the highest prices. In
general it is noticed that where mostly
old roads are rebuilt, the light work
and tearing up the old pavement great
ly affected the cost. The amount OF
fine grading or trimming required for
the higher types of pavement was also
a factor. Labor costs, character of
soil to be graded, climatic conditions,
time limit on contracts, and cost of
detours for traffic also affected the
cost.
While each group of states did not
have the same volume of grading each
year, and therefore the average figure
for the whole country is not truly
representative, it is interesting to note
that the average cost of grading grad

TO PROTECT CAR
TIRE AND TUBES
Vital Parts Are Worthy Of Much
Consideration When Con-
tempIating Long Run.
FEW PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
To Keep Safe and Free From Injury
During Driving, They Should Be
Protected Against Moisture,
Dirt and Grit.

The automobile tire and its accom-
panying inner tube are the vital parts
to be considered on long tour or In
the usual days run. To keep them
for use for emergency cases on the
road is a thing to be appreciated by
all owners and drivers. A few sug-
gestions are well worth considering,
inasmuch as they are offered from
practical experience.
To keep the inner tubes safe and
free from injury during driving, they
should be protected against moisture,
dust, and grit, as these affect them
to an unlimited extent. To prepare
a tube for storage, remove the valve
spring and plunger from the inside
of the valve-stem, and roll the tube
up so that all the air Is expelled. Hold
ing it still compressed, re-insert the
valve-plunger and screw it up tight,
after which, screw on the valve-cap.
The tube then will lie absolutely fiat
and should be folded as shown in the
illustration, and an elastic band made
from strip cut off the end of an old
inner tube around it, as shown. One
at each end will make complete job.
The tubes should be carried in a
wooden box with corrugated cardboard
