A tidal wave is a term erroneous
ly applied to almost any unexpected
wave that mandates the seacoast or
the shore of a great lake. These
waves are rarely If ever due to the
tides, since the tidal wave is a phe-
nomenon not admitting of exact cal
culation and prediction; on the other
hand, they may usually be traced to
some distant earthquake or violent
storm.

20 CENTRALS ARE GRINDING, BA-
LANCE TO START SOON

Half a dozen sugar c~entrals were re.
ported to have commenced grinding du-
ring the week and at least four more are
scheduled to commence next week, max
ing a total of more than a score that are
under way on the 1925 sugar crop.
Practically all the c|entraIs on the north
side of the island are considerably be-
hind in commencing the new crop due to
continued heavy rains. While the rains
have been less frequent du'ing the past
two weeks and with much less actual
rainfall the cane fields are still very wet
and hard to work and reports from all
sections are that sugar recovery is very
low. AS the rains cease and with more
sun the cane is expected to mature more
normally and give a larger sugar yield.
Practically everytmllI has all the cane
it can grind this year, and some OF the
centrals have been forced to contract for
outside grinding in order to take care of
all of their cane. With the largest crop
in the fields and with a delay start it is
believed that several centrals will be
grinding into the middle July that nor
malIy complete their crop by the first OF
June.
So far comparatively little sugar has
been shipped from the new crop and
all of the old crop was cleaned up before
the end Of December. Several cargoes
of sugar have been made and sold and
are awaiting shipment. BY the ead of
the month it is expected that practically
every central in the island will be work
ing regardless of the weather condition
that may be prevailing.
There is a prevailing opinion that an
average price of 81 80 or better for the
present crop the season will be generally
successful although rot as profitable as
had been hoped for That price for sug-
ar will not permit some of the c%entrals to
operate ploitably. it is said, while most
of them figure that the present crop will
cost them from 81 to $4. SO per hundred
pounds to produce. Some of the com
panies hope to be able to show a profit at
the end Of the season solely on account
of the large tonnage Of cane to be ground,

SEEKS NEW DATA
ON TRUCK LOAD|NGS
EIdridge Ready to Change
Overlooking Ban if Manu-
facturers Give o. K.

IF manufacturers of motor trucks
are willing to certify that their prod
uctS are capable of carrying the excess
loads to which their owners subject
them, Director of Traffic Eldridge will
withdraw his objection to the habit OF
overlooking commercial vehicles, said
to be prevalent in Washington.
In pursuance of this concession Di
rector Eldridge announced yesterday
his intention of communicating with
the manufacturers of all well known
trucks and asking them to advise him
I'm this connection.
IL the manufacturers say that they
underrate the load capacity of trucks
as is contended by many owners, and
Will send to the local traffic authori-
ties a statement of the amount of load
in excess of the standard rated capaci-
~ to which their trucks may be safely
subjected, Mr. Eldridge will permit 10,
cal commercial interests to fill their
cars to the point of safe excess desig-
mated.
Safety Is Sole Issue.
I'VE are tackling this truck problem

the wear and tear on the streets that
may result from overlooking, but we
are lIileHSely Interested III SeelfiS tlldl
the operating and braking mechan-
fsms on heavy trucks are adequate
for the heavy loads carried.
We have taken to court already a
case in which, a truck loaded with
sheet iron and travelling at Is miles
an hear was unable to stop within 20J
feet. The driver was arrested on Wis
ConSin avenue after a motor cycle
officer had noticed his futile efforts TO
SLOW up his truck on a hill. The de-
celerometer test on this truck, as load
ed. failed because the brakes would
not act enough to register on it."
Study Other Regulations.
Under present regulations the net
load of a truck must not exceed the
manufacturers rated capacity. 1t is
realized by Director Eldridge and Col.
]. G. Moller, his assistant, that this
rating often is lower than the actual
carrying capacity of the truck Many
trucks rated 3ia tons actually are
capable of carrying tons, it is pointed
out. But official confirmation of this
tact will be sought from the manufac-
turers before the local regulations are
modified.

The Commissioners, It is understood,
opposed the erection of traffic signal
posts in the center of the roadway, as
is the custom in several cities. but in
view Of the fact that Director Ed
ridge favored placing them on the far
side Of the intersections along the
curbing, 1t was apparent that this
problem was virtually settled.
The plan Of installation proposed by
the Crouse-Hinds Co. of Syracuse, the
successful bidders for the lights, was
to call for the erection of signal posts
on all four corners of each interseC-
ton. The posts would be OF a size
already approved by the Fine Arts
Commission for street lamps. They
would be about 10 feet high. A sur
vey of Sixteenth street made by Col.

rector. showed that the posts could
be conveniently placed at the corners
without narring the appearance Of
