GOOD ROADS SAVE MUCH GAS
Trucks Use Twice as Much Fuel on
Dirt Hishfays as on Ono
Built of Concrete.

That good roads cut the cost Of
gasoline more than 80 per cent ts
stated by Freight Transportation Di-
gest." A loaded two-ton truck was
used in. a test and in running loo
miles on an earth road consumed 17.3
gallons of gasoline. making an aver
age of 5.7S miles gallon. The cost
figured at % cents gallon was s4.33.
The same truck was used on a con-
crete road and travelled the same dis
tance on $40 gallons of gasoline, maxi
ing 11.7S miles per gallon. The cost
in this case, figured on the same
basis, was S2.12. The net savings In
cost of gasoline on the improved high
way was therefore s2.21, or more than
100 per cent.
Statistictans could step in here and
conjure a colossal sum to represent.
the savings in gasoline cost If all the
highways of the United States were
paved, remarks the Columbus (o)
Dispatch They could, for instance,
assume that all of the one-half million
motortrucks in the country were two
ton trucks, and on this basis figure
out saving in gasoline costs equal to
a couple Of Liberty loan issues.
This enormous reduction in gasoline
costs, coupled with the ability to
handle loads with less fractional eff
fort, has become one OF the strongest
arguments for good roads. The two
tests cited in this instance show coz
clusively that poor roads are expen-
sive to the farmer and merchant alike.
The farmer who hauls with motor
truck is getting only one-eighth Of the
profit he could get and the merchant
and inter-city freight truck operator
are paying out twice what they should
for gasoline and are getting only one
eighth of the profit they could get.

the destructive policy of the Federal
Reserve Board. do not know who is
advising the president, but l know
that the president must take the re-
sponsibility. He must bear it. We are
entitled to lay it at his door. Speech
es have been made nj this body time
and time again, and some in the 9th
er branch of Congress, in criticism
of the board: Nobody has ever de-
Tended the conduct of this board; no
body can defend it. Of course, sup
pose there will be some friends of
the board who will indorse it's policy,
and they will of course, be conscien-
tious in their views but they do not
know the situation. am sure if they
did they would join with US in criti-
cising and condemning the conduct
of the board.
Until the scales fell from his eyes
Paul prosecuted Christ. Now, it may
be that there are some Senators who
have never had the scales to fall from
they eyes, who will rise and defend
the Federal Reserve Board, and will
continue to persecute the masses of
the American people who are crying
out in. their distress for deliverance
from this body of death that the Fed
eral Reserve Board has fastened up
on them. The South cries out in pro-
test against this policy, the West
cries out in protest against it, but
Wall Street approves and applauds
it. I call upon the President of the
people of these United States to give
us deliverance from the curse of this
egotistical and tyrannical Federal
Reserve Board.

MATHEMATICS OF BAD ROADS
Farmer Solves Problem of Hours Lost
in Making Trip Over Road That
Is Deep in Mud.

If it takes farmer, making trip
through the mud one hour and half
longer than when the roads are firm,
how many hours are lost in year II
1000 farmers make ali average of Il
trips a month";? What would be the
monetary loss If each 11a hours lost
be estimated at rs cents per hour for
each man and his team? This two.
in-one" proposition gave our old cat
considerable trouble, but he finally
worked it out thus: One farmer null
tlpled by 11a hours multiplied by II
trips, multiplied by 1000 farmers,
multiplied by II mouths equals 2l6,-
900 hours lost; going step further,
and multiplying 216,000 by Is cents,
you have S162,0UU per anDum lost to
the farmers. Our old cat is now pom

annual loss would float at 5 per cent

GOOD GUIDE FOR TRAVELLERS
Arrows on Signs Mark Detours on
Iowa,s Highways ard Point Out
Proper Direction.

All detours around roads closed to
traffic in Iowa are carefully marked
for the guidance and protection OF
travellers. Signs are erected at inter-
walls so that the proper direction can
be taken with the slightest deviation
from the regular route. The signs, as
furnished by the state to the counties
at cost, have yellow arrow printed
against black ground, with the word
"detour" above and below the arrow.

The blank sign furnished to the coun-'
ties is shown in the upper corner,
and as used, in the lower. The
larger illustration shows how the
signs are disposed to guide traffic
around a closed road.
When the sign has been placed with
the arrow pointing in the proper di-
rection, the "detour" below is deieted
with black paint. The name of the

New York, Feb 24-Polce and press agents having

asked to solve the mystery.
The Halifax Herald, which recently sent reporter
to the haunted Antagonist farm, and who made report
that he slapped the wrist by unseen but quite
substantial hands, has wired Dr. Walter Franklin Pierce,
director of the American Institute Of Scientific Research
requesting that body to undertake investigation. Dr.
Pierce is reserving decision.
The "haunted house" is the old homestead of Alex
ander Macdonald, 100 miles, the flies, from Hall
fax In the dead of winter Mr. Macdonald, his wife and
their adopted daughter fled the house. terrorzed by
things" that had chased his horse to ather the
farmer said braided the tails of his cattle and started
mysterious fires of ordinarily highly combustibe materials
in his house.
So seriously was the tale taken by the countryside
that the Halifax Herald and the provincial police sent
representatives to stay three nights and days in the
haunted house." They returned week ago with shaken
nerves, ndorsng the farmers story and adding to it.
saying they had been awakened in the night by saps
from unseen hands.
Thus baffled, the Canadians have called upon Ameri
can science to rout the Antagonist ghost.

guests in Columbus, Ohio.
The police recovered Mrs. Robert
sons jewels, which were supposed to
have been taken by a robber.
She gave the authorities note to
the person in whose custody the gems
were, and they were turned over.
Two of the pieces recovered, the
police say, correspond exactly to de-
scriptions of gems alleged to have been
stolen from Mrs. Robertson in Co.

According to the Ohio city's police,
Mrs. Robertson was robbed while
visiting q friend there.
The police say she included in her
confession a statement that she was
driven to desperation by embarrass-
ment in her real estate business and
that she had planned, in addition to
the "fake" robbery of herself, two real
robberies of New York friends.
The recovered jewels are said to
be worth $4,000, although Mrs. Rob
ertson claims their value to be
$4,000. They were insured with
Lloyds for $4,000.

HARDING REQUESTS
ACTION To GET DYES
UNDER PREPARATION
Foreign Competitors of Textile
Industry Get Them of
Germany.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Declaring that
congress had tied the hands of the adj
ministration in dealing with the repara-
tons commission, President Harding in
letter to Senator Frelinghuysen, re-
publican, New Jersey, has suggested
that some executive action be taken
to permit the United States to get its
quota of German reparations
The presidents views, as set forth
in the letter, were presented to the
senate committee investigating charges
Of dye monopolies and Hobbies and in
connection with an appeal of the text
lie alliance, once the agency for the
government in receiving and distribut-
ing German dyes allotted to the United
States as an associate power in the
world war, for creation of some method
by which the receiving of dyes could
be resumed.
The state department, it has been
developed, abrogated its arrangement
with the alliance last December, saying
it had no legal authority to continue it.
The presidents letter, which was read
into the record by Senator Frelinghuy-
sen, said: I'VE ought to protect our
textile manufacturers against the grant
Of undue advantage to their competi-
tors in the Old World
