ROAD TRAFFIC
Enormous Increase Indicated by
Gas Consumption.


Reports on gasoline. consumption
in July, when consumption was the
highest ever recorded, indicate the
enormous volume of traffic our high
ways are now carrying, according to
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
The Department Of the Interior re-
PORTS that the domestic demand for
gasoline during July was 794 ,030,-
$50 gallons The bureau estimates
that at least IS per cent. Of this
amount was used for motor vehicles,
and since l 5,552,077 vehicles were
registered on July /, the average
daily consumption was IA gallons
per vehicle Assuming that the
average motor vehicle gets fourteen
miles per gallon of gasoline the total
daily mileage made by motor vehicles
amounted to 00,000,000 In two
days motor vehicles travelled great
er mileage than do all of the pas
sanger trains in the United States in
IN entire year.
The improved roads that we have
already constructed must have saved
motor vehicle owners millions of dol
lars in the matter of gasoline con-
sumption alone, but just how much it
is impossible to say
Research conducted at Iowa State
College in cooperation with the bu-
reau indicates that where a gallon of
gasoline is consumed on a poor road
only seyen-tenths of a gallon will be
required if a good surface is built.
II is wen known among highway Of
Gcials that the greater proportion OF
traffic concentrates on relatively
small percentage of our roads and 1t
is these roads that have been and are
being improved by the states and
Federal Government.
With motor vehicles travelling 800
0v0, 600 miles per day in the months
of heaviest traffic it is serious waste
OF money not to improve the main
routes when every dollar of eXpen-
diture for gasoline on bad road can
be reduced to 70 cents on a good
road.

Nowhere does divorce strike home
as forcibly as it does in the schools,
remarked a member of the Los
Angeles board of education. The pa
rents blithely so their respective
ways, and maybe take unto them
selves new mates, but the Riddles
are not so fortunate.
Little Billie of the Logan street
school is a good sample. He is only
seven and quite a problem to his
teachers. Recently the regular
teacher was absent and a substitute,
who did not know the home condi-
tions, was in the room. She caught
Billy in mischief and called him to
account.
"Billy, what will you do if | call
'up your mother and ten her what
you've done?'
You can't, retorted Billy. My
first mama's gone on her honeymoon
with my new papa, and my old papa
has gone on his honeymoon with my
new mama. Los Angeles Times

No more exposure, through holes

LaFOlIette Strategy"

Governor Small, running for governor with the
support of the LaFolettetes has endorsed Coolidge
without reservation. He is regular republican
he says, and for the whole republican ticket right
down the line.
The endorsement came as soon as the time limit
expired for the filing of Independent candidates
and leave the LaFollette forces helpless 1t is
too late to discipline the astute Mr.. Small who now
has the support of the Coolidge republicans and the
LaFollette independents.
The LaFolletteites are great strategsts They
have been very much concerned lest someone might
be able to hurl the charge of red" at them and to
prevent this have allowed the campaign plans in
Illinois to be drafted by the labor takers with the
result set forth above. 1t is probable that the
Small endorsement of Coolidge will throw Illinois,
which LaFollette had a good chance to carry in
to the Coolidge column.
We lowly Communists are supposed to have no
conception of the finer points Of political strategy
and 1T is true that we make many mistakes. Never
theless we have never employed the strategy that
throws our entire movement behind our strongest
enemy in one of the key states of the union as the
LaFOlletteites have succeeded in doing.
We speak of this painful matter from the stand
point of the revolutionary section of the working
class but for the cockroach capitalists who dom
mate the LalFoette movement it is far less serious
to strengthen the following of Coolidge and Dawes
than to aid in any way the followers of Foster
and Gitlow-Communst candidates.
