Arterial Highways
in Many Villages
Bill introduced to Make Possible Es-
Establishment of Arterial High
ways on, State Roads.

Madison, Wis. - Provisions for ar
terial highways in villages, towns and
on county trunk lines, made in sew
into the assembly, are incorporated
into one measure just introduced by
the committee on highways.
The measure amends the present ar
terial highway law relating to cities,
to include towns and villages, and it
adds a new section to permit county
highway committees to designate coun-
ty trunk lines as arterial.
Under the new bill, town or village
boards may regulate traffic at inter
sections by traffic devices. The high
way commission, however, is given the
power to declare state trunk high
ways arterial, and it may make regu-
lation of this nature for traffic on any
street in cities which connect trunk
lines and which are marked trunk
highways.
All arterial highways, where it is
required that vehicles come to full
stop before entering upon or crossing
must be marked with stop sign,
winch SHAlA Ne uHAAVlm IhAOu5 uO0s
the state, the bill provides. 1t permits
the highway commission to furnish on
request, at cost, such signs to towns,
villages or counties.
Another bill introduced by the high
way commission would require that all
state or municipality owner cars, ex-
cept motor trucks, motor delivery wag-
ons, trailers or semi-trailers, be regis
tered with the secretary of state in
the same manner as privately owned
cars. Under the present laws, state
owned automobiles are registered upon
payment of 81 license fee and they
receive a special type of license. The
new measure would permit this type
of registration only in cases of trucks,
motor delivery wagons or trailers.

NEW POSTOFFICE
STILL IN SIGHT
Still Working on Postoffice
Building Bill at
Washington.
NO IMMEDIATE PLAN

Indication that the bill which would
provide for new postoffice building
in Kenosha within the next half de-
cade had not been lost in the shut
file" at Washington was given today
in news dispatches from the capitol
holding out hope that the bill might
be passed even during the present
Congress. This despatch declares that
congressman who are seeking public
building bill at this session are hard
at work to save the measure which
passed the house recently, providing
for a six-year building program which
would cost a total of $150,000,0 900
throughout the entire country.
An agreement has been made to ac-
cept two amendments, the first of
which would make immediately avail
able S6,500,000 for a building to house
the internal revenue bureau records
in Washington and the second would
carry an appropriation for work where
sites have been acquired but original
appropriations were not sufficient.
Entire Bill Involved.
While neither of these questions at
fects, the situation in Kenosha, the
entire bill will be involved in the ac-
ton on these two measures and the
adoption of them would give reason
able grounds for hopes that the en-
tire program of the public buildings
bill would be carried out as rapidly as
it could be got under way.
1t is pointed out that after post
Office buildings, now under way in six
Wisconsin cities have been completed,
it is the purpose under the six-year
program to erect buildings in ten
other Wisconsin cities, including Ke-
nosha and Racine. Funds for these
cities where post Offices are urgently
needed will have to be appropriated
each year by the secretary of the
treasury under the system which the
passage of the bill will inaugurate.
100000 for Kenosha Building.
The plan for the Kenosha post Of
fee is to erect building here, which
with the site will demand an appro-
priation of 100000. This would be
building which would fall in with
the civic center project now under way
here.
The Kenosha building is included in
the six-year program in the bill now
before Congress, but it is not even
hoped that it would be Immediately
built even if the entire bill was pass
ed at this session of Congress.

stories, letters or poetry from paper
perforated with. dots, to blind typists.
every student of the school is
taught tipping" said ]. T. Hooper,
superintendent of the school. "This
enables them to write to their par
ents or others out of the school, and
for this reason we begin the study as
early as the fourth grade. Some of
our typists become experts, especially
those who write from dictaphone.
Reading and writing are taught by
system of dot arrangements. The
student must learn the dot alphabet
backwards and forwards, because in
writing he perforates a paper with a
small awl-like instrument, while in
reading the paper is turned over and
the protruding dots read with the
fingers. Students write from right to
left in order to read in normal way
from left to right.
At present there are about 126 stu
dents in the school, 35 of whom were
brought to Madison.

Eye Tests Must Be
Made by Optometrist
Selling of Spectacles on Basis of Test
Made by Other Than Optometrist
is Illegal.

Madison, Wis. - Selling Of specta-
Giles on the basis of eye tests made
with machines by anyone not a lie
ensed optometrist is unlawful, Attor-
ney General Herman L. Ekern ruled
today
The opinion, written by T. E. Mes
serschnidt, assistant attorney gen
eral, involves eye-testing machines by
which the purchaser of the spectacles
determines the lenses which he thinks
he needs and then obtains them from
the dealer operating the machine. W.
H. Dietrich, secretary of the Wiscon-
sin Board of Examiners in Optome-
try, was advised that the sale Of spec
tacles by the use of eye-testing ma
chimes by one not a physician or sur
geon, without a certificate to prac-
tice optometry, is a violation of the
state optometry law.
State aid to school district for the
transportation of pupils cannot exceed
$3.50 for. one term, an opinion pre-
pared by Mortimer Levitan, assistant
attorney general, held. The ruling was
made to John Callahan, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, in the
case of the closing Of three different
schools by a large district and the
transportation of the pupils to school
in. Chippewa Falls. Only $3.50 is avail
able for the transportation of all the
children under the opinion.
Another opinion, sent by G. A.
Erikson. deputy attorney general, to
superintendent Callahan, held that a
school district is not liable for in
juriea sustained by pupils while they
are or the school grounds. 1t was re-
quested in the case of boy who was
killed while playing near partially
erected apparatus at school, after
having been warned to remain away
from it.
ANOTHER USE.
Helium, the non-infammable gas
used in some dirigibles, is to be put to
another use. Department of Interior
has experimental with it in diving
and tuaneling activities.
Helium when mixed with oxygen
forms a breathable atmosphere sim
liar to normal air. Tests show, too,
that the use of helio-oxygen mixtures
reduces the time of decomposition, the
process by which miners and COM
normal air conditions.
Compressed air illness, sometimes
called "caisson disease" is wide
spread among tunnel workers and
divers and makes their job particu-
larly hazardous one. Use of helium
promises to eliminate it.
