damage than at any other time Of
the year. With melting snow and
the frost leaving the ground the
road beds become soft. Highways
in this condition are easily damaged,
especially by heavy loads. 1t has
been the experience in the past that
in the spring Of the year road
surfaces have been damaged to such
an extent that considerable work has
been necessary to again bring them
back in shape, and in some instances
the damage has been noticeable
throughout the remainder of the
year. Highways are put to a
severe test during the Fall and
Winter when motor vehicles travel
almost continuously in ruts, thus
imposing hard wear on the road
surfaces that soon causes them to
give way. But in the Spring with
the soft condition of the surfaces
the wear and tear is even more
severe.
The county board Of supervisors
at the meeting held Tuesday took
action to protect Iron county's high
ways this Spring as much as possible
by instrueting the clerk to notify
drivers Of trucks, buses and tractors
that during this soft period loads
must be limited to fifty per cent of
capacity. It's precautionary
measure that will go long ways in
preventing damage to the roads.
Iron county has some fine highways,
constructed and maintained at con
siderable expense, and it is proper
that every effort should be made to
protect them.

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

A tangible illustration of the need
of more widespread intensive thrift
education is furnished in Americas
fire record.
The actuaries bureau of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
has just completed tabulation that
reveals truly amazing conditions.
The latest available complete figures
are those for 1923 when our fire
losses totalled in excess of $685.
900, 900.
Insurance experts tell US that rs
per cent of these fires were due to
sheer carelessness. This means
that we destroyed S400, 100000
worth of buildings through lack of
care. Certainly a most unenviable
record of thriftlessnessl
Let us translate these figures into
terms that are more easily com
pretended In 1923 the building
record in this country was $4,000
600, 900. Thus for every IA new
buildings erected in the United States
we burn down one building through
absolute carelessness.
Some statisticians have put the
average cost of home at $4,000
with an additional like amount for
the necessary stores, office buildings
schools and other structures. This
would mean that our annual fire loss
is equal to the housing facilities of a
city of over $4,000 homes with a
population of more than 100000
inhabitants.
On this basis the careless destruc-
ton of property every year in this
country is equal to all the buildings
in city of 10000 inhabitants.
There is certainly food for refec-
ton here.
Let US have more thrift education
and less fires.

further indication Of the ultimate
passing Of the 50-ton ore car and the
general adoption Of the car that will
transport 3 tons or more.
The 200 ore ears which have been
ordered by the 500 Line will all be
used on the Guyana range. There
are scme bridges on the 500 Line ON
the Gogehic range which VIII have to

MOTORCYCLE POLICE.

+ Iron county will employ four
motorcycle police this year to patrol
the highways and see that automobile
drivers do not violate the traffic
laws. This swill be one more than
last year The board voted to en-
ploy four this year at Tuesdays
meeting.
We wonder what will happen TO
Iron county's reputation this year
with four minions Of the law patrol
ing the highways Last year with
only three the county gained rather
unsavory reputation that extended
far and wide. One more probably
can't do much more harm than the
three did last year
Among travelling statesmen who
make" their territory by auto
mobile as most Of them do these days
mention Of Iron county brought forth
blasphemous remarks, A number
of them were put to the incon-
venience Of having to go before the
Judge, not to mention the fine of $40,
for having travelled faster than the
dangerous speed of thirty miles per
prescribed in Iron county. They
passed the word around among their
fellow travelling men to beware when
entering the limits Of Iron county.
Those who inadvertently failed to
heed the warning met with the same
fate as their brethren before, and
soon nothing but unkind remarks
were heard about Iron county.
And travelling statesmen were not
the only ones who had TO suffer, for
quite a number Of tourists were
hauled up last year The treatment
accorded some Of the tourists who
dared cross the county line was a
disgrace to all those responsible for
the enforcement of the law We
invite tourists to come to our county
and partake of Natures beauties
and then we hand them dirt for a
small infraction of an ordinance.
This is not presented as an argu-
ment in favor of the violation of laws
or ordinances, nor is it presented as
an argument in favor Of speeding.
But we do contend that those EN-
powered with the enforcement of
the county's traffic laws should use
a little judgment We believe, and
We understand that the county board
members feel the same. that more at
tention should be paid to reckless
driving than 10 mere infraction of
the thirty mile per hour limit Thirty
miles per hour is not a dangerous
speed with a good and careful driver
at the wheel and with proper road
conditions. Most drivers like to
travel faster and still they feel that
they are driving safely. On the
other hand, driver may be driving
only twenty miles per hour and be
eiussed as reckless driver The
good fast driver Is not the one to be
feared It's the one who in most
eases has become filled up with a
homemade product which has become
SO popular since the advent Of
prohibition that he needs all the
road and some times more and is a
menace to other drivers OF course
excessive speed may put one in the
dangerous class, and these fellows
should be looked after But thirty
miles an hour under ordinary condi-
tions is not reckless driving.
