HIGHWAY CONTRACT
LOSS TO Be FOUGHT
Research Board Meeting to Discuss
Prevention of Financial Re-
verses to Bidders.

Prevention of losses due to default
ed highway contracts is TO be one OF
the important topics for discussion at
the fourth annual meeting of the
Highway Research Board to be held
In Washington December. and 5.
Many highway executives have
shown anxiety because of the number
of highway contractors who have de-
faulted their contracts. Unless some-
thing is done to prevent the increas-
ing number of defaulted contracts, the
board believes, the State, contractor,
bonding company and material men
are all bound to be losers. Lack Of
finance, equipment and knowledge of
the class of work undertaken are the
main reasons for many defaults
Thomas II. Macdonald, chief Of the
Bureau of Public Roads, according to
the research board, believes the bond
ing companies should make g. more
careful study of their risks before
Issuing contract bonds. Many con-
tractors take job and expect they
can pay for their equipment, carry
their payroll and at the same time
make a profit. Frequently the con-
tractor who does not have a cash re-
serve is forced to abandon the work
because of his inability TO meet cur
rent expenses. Mr. Macdonald sug-
gests that the best remedy is the
practice of several States recurring
the contractor to have certain bal
ance, or some other definite financial
arrangement, before the contract is
awarded.

Gen. SnydcrS, commander in chief

War, however, in Il recent speech.
stated that the Dutch government. at
The Paris Conference in 1919, had
promised Belgium to consider any
violation of the neutrality of the

statement caused a sensation as il
was presumed the general had alluded
t" the secret treaty with Belgium
against Germany.

Foreign Minister Van Karnebeek,
in order to allay uneasiness, declared
there is no question of any military
or political agreement concluded by
the Netherlands. At the Paris Peace
Conference. the sincerity of Holland
was called into question, owing to
her disinClination to conclude a secret
military agreement with Belgium, as

in order to remove distrust and to
make clear its point of view. the
Dutch government declared that any

of Dutch soil would be regarded not

Sidcred by the Netherlands as Il casuS

Gold Coins of Little

Macon, Ga, July 7.--While Tit pays to advertise" is an axiom of the pres ent era, that knowledge must have been more or less common even in the days of the civil war, according to an advertise of that period re- printed in recent issue of the Ma con Telegraph.
 Here is the specimen which, while it is not recorded whether the ad- yertisement brought results would in- dicate that even grandfather knew of the advantages of telling the world:
 'The concern of Roberts, Dunlap & Co.,, being somewhat demoralized, our Senior and Co. being in the hands of the doctors, and our middle man in the army, makes it absolutely neces- sary that those who owe us should set tie without delay. We have some half bushel, more or less, of due bills given for cash and goods, payable in bacon, pork, corn, wheat, etc. We have no time, talent or shoe leather to waste in running after these claims. We want money (not gold or silver) but Confederate money and we want 1t at once. Our store is full of goods and we are anxious to sell for some thing to eat"

A Hour Clock System
 Urged for German R. R.

Munich, Germany, July 7.-Consid- erable pressure is being brought to bear upon the German railway ad- ministration to adopt the system of time by the hours of 1-24 instead of liza. m. and 1-lc p. m. Travellers returning from Switzerland, Italy snd Austria point out how much easier the system in vogue in these coun- tries is, where everybody knows that 1T o'clock is 5 p. m.
 Several years ago an international congress for standardizing the railway time tables of continental Europe was held at Basic, in Switzerland, At this congress it was unanimously decided to introduce the 24-hour system as socn as possible. The German rail- way administration holds that the eX- pense of installing the new system is too great for the German state.

JAPANESE WANT ID
 CURTAIL LUXURIES
Encouragement of Thrift Is Aim
 Of Government
By Tho A.soclated Press.

By Tho Associated Press.
 Tokio, July With a view to- ward curtailing the importation oi luxuries. encouraging thrift and bal ancing foreign trade, the government introduced in the diet today bill pro- viding forsan ad ralorim duty of 100 per cent on o50 articles listed as lux uries. Among the articles are cam eras, films. photographs and records precious stones. liquors, wool, wooden textiles, gold, platinum, watches, oth- er, jewelry and leather goods.
 The effect of the proposed heavy duty on American trade with Japan would be comparatively slight. inas- much as Japan purchases from the United States principally staple ar ticles, such as cotton, machinery and iron, it was pointed out.
 The tariff bill would become effec- tive as soon IS passed.
 Finance Minister Hamaguchi, ex- plaining the bill, declared that it was d temporary measure, not intended as a revenue producer but proposed as means of protecting home indus tries for the primary purpose Of cor- recting a national tendency in the in- creasing consumption of foreign made luxuries. If the bill proves in effective in this respect, he indicated, the government probably will levy an internal luxury tax.
 The government, 1t is known, is worried by the mounting adverse trade balance, which totaled 66O,- oOo.oo0 yen during the first six months of 1924. This was largely due to the importation of necessities for reconstruction following the earth quake, but also in the opinion of gov ernment officials, to the prevalent lux urious habits which they believe must be corrected.
