of pavement, that the engineer and
the taxpayer can conserve the inter-
ests of good engineering and wise
tax outlay by taking fully into ac-

My suGgestion' isreo either eliminate
the law altogether or add q. clause
which would read that II two. three

tions and At speeds varying not moro
than two miles per hour the driver
who blows his horn frst leads the
way and breaks up the combination.
In order to have q mix-up, there
fore. all the cars would have to horn
and approach at nearly the same
speed simultan eously, which condition
Is SO exceptional as to be negligible"
That might solve the riddle"
Smith agreed "As II works now In
practice the right Of way seems to
20 to the man who gets there first.
They might as well carry automobile
selnshness to It's logical conclusion
and make blowing your own horn q
requisite. Besides. 1t might serve to
wake up some of these drivers we

In different parts OF the country.
Besides. those who are engaged In

ones. This makes for progress
To make q little better progress
ourselves at this point Smith turned
into another street on which there
crossing he began to slow up because
Of an awkward traffic situation d.
rectly ahead. A car was coming
down the street to our right: an
other was approaching from the left.
while third car was approaching
from In front. Smith had been raised
on the law that when two vehicles
are approaching q crossing the car to
the right has the right of way.
provided both cars are approaching
~ the eAInS rate Oh
speed. To all appearances the car
to the right was travelling the same
speed that we were; and on this as
sumption he slowed up to let the
other. car pass.
An Awkward situation.
What Smith had not counted on,
however. was that the driver to his
right also had a car to his right,
and so on in turn around the circle /;
consequently Smith found that the
man to his left was waiting for us
to go ahead. The result was that
all four cars came to a stop. The
situation was awkward, ridiculous.
Presently one OF the more aggres-
sive drivers was starting up again;
then another started, and a moment
later the two of them nearly COL
lided. And the driver of the third
car was bawling US out for block
ing the traffic"
This proves my contention about
uniformity of laws / said. Freak
laws should be kept of the books.
but here you have an instance Of
a makeshift law which is being
too universally adopted. Lawmakers
overlook the possibility OF four cars
approaching u crossing at the same
time. q condition which is more fire.
The laws include the word approx

that only complicates matters For

URGES USE OF. OLD
PAVING AS BALLAST
Public Roads Economist
Points to Waste in High
D.. way Making.
BY J. e. PENNYBACKER,
Formerly Chief Economist Of United
States Bureau OF Public Roads.

cOImerly Ch1ef EcOnOm1st OF United
States Bureau OF Public Roads.
Two distinct problems confront the
highway engineer, who must spend
highway revenues In the best inter-
est Of the taxpayer:
one, to salvage the old pavements
with view to utilizing as large a
proportion of the original investment
rs possible; and. second, to construct
new pavements at the most reason
able cost consistent with service and
durability. There are in the United
States nearly 100000 miles of hard
surfaced highways and Of this total
at least 100000 miles consist of wa
terbound macadam pavements. 1t
is little short of an economic crime
70 dig up these old macadam pave
ments and replace them with an en-
excellent foundation value of the old
macadam. The material in these old
pixies has been compacted under years
OF traffic to degree Of stability
which could hardly be approached by
entirely new construction. During
the process of compacting the weak
places. both in the subgrade and in
the pavement. will have been shown
up so that repair and replacement
can be intelligently conducted with
old navement which are in good con-
dftion. When 1t is considered that
the stone or gravel constitute by far
the heaviest portion of pavement
the saving in the cost of quarrying.
transporting and placing this great
mass of material becomes an item
we'll worth while For conserving
these old macadam pavements an
asphalt wearing course Is ideal. The
reasons are simple and convincing:
Reasons Are Simple.
First. asphalt is absolutely water
proof and an asphaltic mixture,
therefore. protects all pavements
from It's deadIiest enemy, water.
Second. because an asphaltic mix
protects the pavement from raveling
and blowing away in the form of dust
during dry weather.
Third. because an asphaltic mixture
is the most flexible and resilient pave
ment possible to design and, there
fore. It takes up the shock of i'm
pact with complete protection for the
underlying foundation. AS an illus
pact resistant quality it has been
ascertained by the United States bu-
reau of public roads that a rear truck
wheel with a load of 1900 pounds
resting upon it delivers a hard blow
to a pavement when the wheel is
moving at fifteen miles an hour. With
only a one-inch drop this blow is
equivalent IT, that of weight of
more than $4,000 pounds.
Filth, because the asphalt wearing
course can be laid in a course as thin
as two inches and still conform to
good engineering practices so that
wherever the old pavement has an
adequate thickness the great cost of
laying a thick new pavement Is cut

FARM BUREAU NEWS

A reading table Is maintained at
the farm bureau office and farmers
who have a few moments of leisure
when they come to town may fill in
these spare moments by reading the
magazines. Twenty-four different
kinds Of magazines and farm jour-
nails are kept on file covering dairy
ing, horticulture and practically
every agricultural subject. Every
one is welcome at the farm bureau
office, whether they wish to transact
business or loiter.
Quite lot Of third crop hay and
some of the alfalfa and clover seed
has been damaged by the rain. A
small amount Of grain which is un-
threshed is reported sprouting.
T. B. Murray, assistant biologist
in charge of gopher and ground
squirrel control in this section of the
state is in Blackfoot making ar
rangements for the poisoning of
gophers on all canal banks and
farms southeast of the Thomas COM
including Thomas, Rock
ford, Pingree, Springfield, Sterling
and Aberdeen. This district has been
designated as a compulsory poisoning
district by the county commissioners.
The farm bureau office will make

YOU HALLOWEEN FOLKS

A good many of the folks who
have property and are paying several
kinds of taxes, including heavy
school tax for the benefit. of the
young folks. wish US to say to all of
you who are preparing for q big
time on Halloween that they hope
you will have . bushel of fun, but
they wish you would not do any
damage to property. There are a
good many empty houses and the
taxes and insurance cost just as
much on them when they are empty
as when they are occupied and
bringing in some money to the own
ers. but 1t would be bad brand Of
cheating to pelt the windows of =
vacant house, or upset the coal house
or do any damage to the property.
That isn't real fun anyway-that is
just plain cheating and a crime, the
kind of bolshevik stun that ruined
millions of homes in Russia and left
people homeless and starving. A lot
Of them over there played Hallow-
cen every night in the year, but we
don't want any of that in America.
We want you to have your fun, but
in games and jokes and cutting up
wood for widows and digging potato
crops for sick men and such things
as leave q good taste rather than a
sting.

JENKINS SAYS THEY CAN'T

Somebody at Salt Lake announced
having driven car over the road be-
tween Salt Lake and Provo, forty
four miles in AN minutes, and D.
A. Jenkins, former Blackfoot man,
published a challenge, saying that he
did not believe any car yet made
could be put over that road at the
speed stated, and If there was such
a car he wanted to know it. He
would, therefore, challenge them to
do it again under supervision of a
couple of time keepers at starting
and stopping place, and if they sue
ceeded he wuold donate 800 to the
Salt Lake police fund in acknowl
edgment of the information. If they
failed on account of accident he
would permit them to try it over as
much as three more times; If they
did not act on the challenge he
would consider that an acknowledge
ment that their former announce
ment was an error.

There were a few minor details that

on the police records, and interest
coupons for $3.50 that had been paid
on bonds that were in process of re-
funding and should not have been
paid since duplicate obligation was
issued in connection with the new
set of bonds. Application will be
made for refund of the amount over

direction of Mr.. Moon and he pro-
nounces them very simple and eff

clude the removal of the old tank
and tower and good many of the
old popular trees. Suggestion was
made that some of the younger trees
be topped and somebody asked III
they were going to be topped like
those at the city park last year.
There seemed to be a division of
opinion as to whether the trees in
the park had been improved or
ruined by the topping, but the sub
ject was passed over lightly and
whatever is done by the committee
will probably be accepted as good |
enough. ~

THE INTERNA-
TIONAL HORSE RACE

Last Saturday a British and ar
American horse matched at New
York City in q race of a mile and g
half and the American horse won.
Both horses were three years old
Papyrus came from England for the
race. and Zev is an American colt
Sixty thousand people assembled tc
see the match, and betting was
heavy. Papyrus gained a slight ad-
vantage at the start but Zev regained
it in the first quarter and then lead
by two or three yards until they
reached the last quarter when Zev
was given his head and came under
the wire six lengths in the lead, run
ming with full energy while Papyrus
was weakening.
Papyrus was brought over from
England in September and rested up
from the sea voyage. He was fed
on his native fodder shipped from
England by special arrangement
with customs officials, for there is a
tariff on such feed.
Zev was reported to be afflicted
with skin disease few days before
the race land 1t affected the betting
on him. Admiral Grayson's horse,
"My Own" was groomed as a substi-
tute for Zev in case he was not able
to run, and up to the hour of the
race it was not known whether it
was to be Zev or My Own that was to
enter.
The winning horse was ridden by
Earl G. Sande Of Salem, Ore, form
erly an Idaho boy, and when news
of winning of the race was wired to
Johns mother, she is said to have ex-
claimed, ooh isn't that fine. l knew
John would win if the horse was all
right" And Johns twelve-year old
sister Frances turned a handspring
or two in the yard and ran to tell
the neighbors.
Dick Ferris, race promoter of Los
Angeles, has wired Admiral Gray
son that they will guarantee $780,
900 in gate receipts for a match be-
tween Zev and My Own.
The Idaho Statesman in speaking
of Sande says:
Sande is said to be clean living,
modest and unassuming boy. His
work is not all play for the character
of it demands clean living and physi-
cal fitness. Though said to be draw
ing an annual salary of approx
mately 100000, Sande works hard
for his money. He has to forego all
social pleasures, train rigiously, and
live sparingly.
Some natural ability, combined
with willingness to work and take
his profession seriously is said to be
the secret Of Sande's success. Sam
Hildreth, trainer for the Rancocas
stables credits Sande with having a
way with horses. So great is the
of followers of the turf in
he east it is said that odds suddenly
favor Sande's mount regardless of
he animals past performances.
