ROAD SAFETY LAWS FAVORED
Highway Accidents Could Be Greatly
Decreased by Requiring Mirror
on Trucks.

Accidents on the highways, accord
ing to NJ. V. Eldridge, road director of
the American Automobile association,
could be greatly decreased by the pas
sage of uniform state laws requiring
every truck to carry mirror giving
view of the road to the rear and by
requiring every horse-drawn vehicle to
display some sort of light when using
the roads at .dght.
Mr.. Eldridge states that - states
and the District of Columbia have
laws requiring the mirror on trucks,
but that few have any regulation for
horse drawn vehicles, The states re-
quiring mirrors are Vermont, Wash
ington, California, Connecticut. New
York, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri and
New Jersey.

DISCUSS BUILDING PROBLEMS
Standardization of Specifications and
Tests for Road Materials Are
Being Made.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The committee on tests of the Ameri-
can Society of State Highway Officials
met with the officials of the bureau OF
public roads of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, in Washing
ton, to consider Standardization of
specifications and tests for road mate
rials. The purpose of this meeting
OF representatives from all sections
OF the country was not so much to lay
down rigid rules as to harmonize the
general practice. Standardization TAX
ing into account local conditions is
being brought about by a series of
meetings between officials from groups
of states and engineers of the bureau.
The present activity of highway Off
cials along this line is most encour-
aging for road building. A few years
ago the general tendency was toward
individuality in each state, without
much opportunity for exchange of
ideas and knowledge. Today the ten
dency is in the other direction. and
a better solution should be reached
when the problems are discussed at
meetings of the best highway engi-
neering talent Of the country.

deal of expense as result of ruling

thereby giving it the advantage Of

The railroads previously required
the states to pay less-than-carload
rates on the various items included in
such shipments, even when together
they made up carload. The conten-
tion of the bureau is that since the
bulk Of this material has been used
and none of it is new, and since 1t is
all intended for use In road construc-
tion, it should be given the advantage
of the low rate allowed to contractors

REDUCING COST OF TESTING
Area Plan of Tuberculosis Eradication
Has Lowered Expenses Quite
Considerably.

AS result of the area plan of tu
berculosis eradication, says the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
cost of testing has been reduced. The
pioneer counties which undertook the
work naturally incurred greater eX-
pense than those which followed their
lead and took advantage of their eX-
periences. But. in spite of this, rec
ords of the department show that for
the 25 counties in various states for
which figures are available, the cost
of testing was only 81 cents head.
Steuben county, New York, where
$4,000 cattle were tested by 33 vet
erinarians in 10 days, did the work
at cost of 23.5 cents head. In
Missouri the testing done by federal
veterinarians cost only 2S cents a
head. This included salary, subsist-
ence and travel expenses. In some
counties work has been done as low
as Is cents head.

From August /, 1921 to August

the latest obtainable because grain
shipments are figured from Aug. /
