stricted parking keeps shoppers away
from their localities and results in de-
centralized shopping districts.
The parking and traffic problems of
the cities, now in an acute stage, is to
some extent forerunner of the traffic
and parking problem of the highway
as it will be in $ the future. Well
travelled main roads are now demon
strated in many cases to be far too
narrow. Many main arteries of travel
between large cities are now being
widened at great expense, which
could largely have been saved had
plans been made ten years ago for
such widening. New roads are wise
ly built when plans for expansion are
made at the time of building.

GOVERNMENT AGAINST
GRADE CROSSINGS
Federal Aid Roads Avoid Deadly In
tersection When Possible

AS torerunner to the policy of the
National government when it shall
begin to build and maintain a system
of national highways, the Federal Aid
Act, as administered by the Bureau of
Public Roads, is being made the We
hcle for the elimination of grade
crossings wherever possible.
Where elimination is not possible,
certain restrictions and rules are pro-
vided designed to increase safety at
DANCE rpoints. Among these is the
provision that the road at the cross
ing be wide enough for two vehicles
to pass when automobiles approach
ing from opposite directions meet at
crossing.
The view at a railroad crossing
should, when possible be unobstructed
tor 1000 feet in each direction along
the tracks; the approaching motorist
should have this view for 300 feet be-
tore reaching the crossing. Highways
at railroad crossing should be as
nearly level as possible, since steep
grade up to a crossing increase the
chances of a motor stalling on the
track. Highways should cross rail-
roads at right angles, not on a diago-
nal line, which keeps the vehicle in
the line of danger longer than one
which runs straight across.

EDITORIAL

With the campaign to remove
unsightly advertising signs from Am
erica's roads we'll under way, atten-
ton may well be turned to the char
acter of signs and sign posts marking
roads to show their destination and
distances
The historic sign post" is of wood,
with board nailed to the side, end
ing in rude representation of a
pointing hand. The board bears upon
its face, usually in weather obliterated
letters, the name of the next town.
Such marker was alright for a
trail. or a wagon road, but is as much
out of place on a fine, hard road as
an OK cart among automobiles. Mod
ern practice dictates that road signs
and posts should be permanent, sight
ly, plain as to information conveyed,
sturdy and artistic.
For national highways, a beautiful
bronze sign post has already been de-
signed by famous sculptor. Road
associations interested in some par
ticular road have adopted distinctive
markers in many cases of high de-
gree of art and beauty, as well as
utility. The Old Oregon Trail for
instance which it is proposed to inn
prove from the Missouri to the Co.
lumbia, is now in process of being
marked with signs of real beauty and
significance Professor Fairbanks. of
the University of Oregon, designed
the marker, showing a typical covered
wagon and pioneer family of early
western days. Such sign is particu-
larly appropriate for this trail, which
is the route followed by early day
pioneers in their ox-team emigration
from the Eastern states to Oregon
an dWashington in the late forties
and early fifties.
1t is not necessary to wait for some
large association to design or place
markers. Every town can help by
seeing TO it that the sign posts along
its entering and leaving roads are plain
as TO intent, yet handsome and dis
tinctive. Placing such markers en-
bodies the spirit of welcome to the
tourist, which is good business" for
any town, and is most excellent work
for local civic organizations to take
up and follow through.

GOOD ROADS AFFECTING
HOUSE ARCHITECTURE
IN THE COUNTRY
Better Farm Living Results From the
Hard Surface Highways

Better Farm Living Results From the
Hard Surface Highways
According to statistics compiled in
the building trades, decided increase
in the use of permanent building ma
terials has been noted in country dis
tricts and the building of farm houses.
The shortage of timber accounts for
this only in part, since stone and brick
and cement are more expensive build
ing materials than lumber.
Farmers can now build farm houses
of non-burnable materials because
good roads make it possible for them
to haul such materials from a distance
without a prohibitive expense. The
American farmer is a sensible, hard
headed, practical man. He has not
endured the greatest home fire haz-
ards of any nation for years because
ne knew no better, but because he
found it too expensive to overcome
the risk by substituting for the easy
to get timber, the hard-toimport
stone, brick, tile, cement.
With the advent of better roads
and the coming of the automobile
truck he is finding it increasingly pos
sible to erect his farm house of fire
proof material without paying toe
great price for haulage of materials
He is also finding it good business tc
erect more pretentious house or
land which has increased materiall,
in value through the influence of bet
ter roads.
Better houses, better fireproofing
better land values, better transporta-
tion, better profits on farm produce
they are all by-products of the hard
road, which in the long run, is not ar
expense 10 the taxpayer, but source
of profit.

VIM. HESSE SAYS
 KEEP AWAY FROM
 BRITISH GUIANA FIELDS
Fairbanks News-Miner)

William Hesse, mineral surveyor, and pioneer in Alaska development, who returned to Fairbanks Tuesday after a several months trip to the tropics, brings back word to friends here of the diamond fields of British Guiana. MT. Hesse says:
 British Guiana lies between the Or inoco and Amazon rivers on the east coast of South America. It is rich in mineral resources, gold and diamonds being widely distributed. The dia- monds are found in shallow alluvial deposits that lend themselves to the primitive but highly efficient methods used in the mines.
 ''The climate of British Guiana is very agreeable, and, contrary to the general impression, the heat is in no sense oppressive and cases of prostra- ton from it are unknown.
 "Venomous snakes are there, but they are by no means plentiful and none were seen by our party during the six weeks of tramping thru the forests"
 MT. Hesse brought back several un- cut diamonds. Speaking of them, he went on to say:
 "The diamonds found in Guiana are very fine in quality, there being none that surpass them ad few found that equal them. There is no kind of min ing that furnishes the kick that this does, but the fascination of winning these gems is offset by the fever condi- tions met with in the diamond fields. The lowlands lying between the Am azon and the Orinoco rivers are prob ably the worst fever-infested countries on earth; those being Yellow, black, water, typhoid, malaria, falaria, dysen- tery, hook worm and leprosy. There is no escape from the fever. Some sur vive, and some do not, but they all get it."
 MI L1SSSc tOIu OI tiIC COSG Ol oup- plies in the mining district.
 "The cost of supplies in the Mazar- uni district is exhorbitant-smo to bacco is S9.60 pound and everything else at prices that take ones breath away.
 My advice to my friends in Alas ka is to keep away from Guiana. If you have four or five thousand dol lars that you can afford to lose and you are willing to gamble with your life you chances of bein grewarded are probably better than they are here, provided that you can stay on your feet-I could not"
