l a man who walks this Earth
Near resident to Gloom.
Occasionally meeting Mirth
But giving pleasure room.

And bear my load with pain:

Then run them back again.
My name tx John l.. Misery,

You never hear word from me
That doesn't lead to "Ouch!"
Luck framed the game. Fate stacked the deck
When was born to vice
I've always got il In the neck
And played with loaded dice
When was born the stars were set
To nail my horoscope!
I've never made the smallest bet
But someone plugged the dope.
With fingers crossed, / plod along
Companion to despair,
And never seem to strike song
But there's minor there.
o misery, My name is that
My gods have spilled the beans!
My path crossed by some lucklcss cat,
I'm glad to save my jeans!
And shall make my weary plant,
And / shall live my day,
Thinking of all the luck that amt +.
That never comes my way!

In connection with a report on the
Pittsburg, California, highway tests
made by Mr.. J. B. Lippincott to the
Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornia, Mr.. Lippincott says: Il can de-
cidely emphasize the statement that
the standard California State Highway
pavement as now being laid by the
Highway commission on adobe soil is
inadequate to meet traffic conditions
upon our California main lines"
L. +. East, Highway Investigating
Engineer for the Automobile club in
the course of painstaking analysis
of the Pittsburg tests and lessons tC
be learned from them says, "The out
standing results derived from these
tests to date are that a thin five
inch slab of concrete reinforced with
20 to "a tons of steel as constructed
under present State Highway specifi-
cations is inadequate for present day
traffic demands and provides no safety
factor for inevitable future increase.
"While this pavement at Pittsburg
has been subjected to abnormal traf-
fic numerically the weight has no.
been excessive. The tests further de-
veloped that it is not so much reduc-
ton in loads as it is a correction in
methods of construction that is needed
to insure reasonable life to oul
State Highways.
The annual average tonnage car
ried on the State Highways of South
arn California as determined from
traffic census is approximately 634,-
300 tons. The traffic on some of the
county roads closely approximates for
4 given period the traffic on the Pitts
ourg highway; however, each system
s subjected to more than double the
init loads of the Pittsburg highway.
Under present conditions of traffic it
you'd require approximately nine
-ears to produce a tonnage upon the
State highways equivalent to that pro-
luced on the Pittsburg highway.
Definite conclusions must await
inal summing up and analysis of the
iata collected during the tests at

.ble that any results produced or any

Main Street" Subject of
Warm Discussion

Mrs. F. NJ. Pritchard Of the Cotton
Woman's Club gave a review Of Main
Street, before the organization in
which she took strong issue with the
author in his characterization Of life
in the small town. She says the por-
travail Of rural or small town life by
the author IS not typical of the back
bone Of the United States. Of the wo-
men depicted, Mrs. Pr4tchard said,
"If that is the type of womanhood
found in America generally speaking
then God help u.s. For the mistakes
of the heroine, she blamed the author.
''To infer that the women of today are
going about seeking affinities IS das-
tardly SIAM she said.
