HIGHWAY BOARD TO
MAKE SUGGESTIONS
prepared by the United states Department
Of ARriculture


prepared by the United states Department
Of Agriculture)
Tentative agreement on the form
and color of warning and directional
signs to mark the principal Interstate
roads of the country was reached by
the joint board of interstate highways
in session held at Washington. High
ways to be marked as interstate roads,
for which the name United States high
ways has been proposed. will be Sc
lected after series of regional meet
ings of members of the board with
highway officials of groups of states.
AS the membership of the board is
made up of state and federal officials
in charge of highways and is repre-
sentative of the departments in con-
troll of the state roads of all states
1t is anticipated that the recommends
lions of the board will be translated
into definite action within a few
months.
The routes selected as United States
highways will be numbered ald
marked uniformly in all states with a
standard marker. All state highway
departments will be asked to submit
proposals for the design of the mark
err The design tentatively proposed
by the board consists of United
States shield with white background
bearing in black letters ~. 81, the
number of the route in large numer
ais, and the name of the state in
which the marker is erected.
Differences which now exist between
the warning and danger signs in use
by the various states will also be elm
mated when the recommendations of
the board are adopted, at least so far
as the interstate roads are concerned.
Tentative proposals adopted at the
first meeting of the board call for the,
adoption of a standard round sign for
marking all railroad crossings; an oc-
tagonal sign to indicate danger or stop !;
a acknowledged sign for caution or
slow; square sign to indicate look
or attention; and a rectangular shape
for directional or international signs.
Colors tentatively adopted for non
luminous signs are yellow for warn
ing and danger signs and white for
directional and international signs, In
Guiding the route markers. Letter
ing on both classes of signs will be
In black. For luminous or rejecting
signs the colors tentatively selected
are red for danger, yellow for caution
. -
Standardization of the sizes of all
signs and the lettering on them will be
referred to a subcommittee of the
board.
All recommendations of the board
with regard to the shape, size and
color of signs will be submitted to the
highway departments of all states for
consideration before the final adoption
by the board.

Things One Should Know
About Replacing Tubes

Undue haste in replacing pune
tured or blown-out tube. is responsible
for multitude of troubles. The most
common mistake is pinching the tube.
The tube is inserted in an uneven or
twisted manner This causes it to
overlap or wrinkle, with the result that
in a short time it will cut through
where it has been overlapped and pro-
duce a leak. The same trouble is also
caused sometimes by putting new
tube into the tire just as it is taken
from the box.
When the tube is applied after
mounting there is such an thrush of
air that II will often buckle up the
tubes, thereby forcing a tiny section
beneath the head spreader. Especially
will this occur if the valve stem is not
pulled out to its proper position
The operator should proceed slowly
when applying the tube. Before put
ting it into the casing 1t should be
given couple Of shots of air, then
it should be applied carefully, the in
side-the side on which the stem oc
ours always being kept inside.
When it is in the casing it should be
"talced" carefully and the fingers
forced all around the tire TO make
sure that the tale has been evenly
distributed, and then, before the loose
head is applied the tire should be
given little more air-enough to
round 1t out nicely and prevent pinch
ing.

Improvement of Roads

In our country, the issue of good
roads has passed the point of contro-
versy. Our roads now have not only
the dimensions of great length, but
also the dimensions of greater width
for ever-increasing traffic, and of
greater thickness to bear the heavier
loads.
The public is now on wheels and
wherever the question Of good roads
is raised we find the public decisively
expressing itself in favor of steady
development

PROPER AMOUNT
OF AIR IN TIRE
Amount Is Determined by
Experts Whose Judgment
Should Rule.

In the course of tire development
tire experiments have proven that
among the most important factors in
the proper treatment Of tires is the ad-
justment of the ratio between the air
pressure of the tires and the load to
be carried. The engineers have made
long and comprehensive studies of the
proper amount of air to be used with
certain loads. The life of the tires is
actually heightened and the service
given is improved If these observa-
tions of the engineers are regarded.
Overlooking Fault.
Overlooking is a common fault, and
the disregard for careful adjustment
of air pressure in the tires causes all
sorts of tire troubles which are not
attributable to the construction of the
tire but to their use. The engineers
and chemists are at work constantly
improving the materials from which
tires are made and the machinery for
their production, but all of the prin-
ciples back of the construction of the
tire are based on maintaining an air
pressure commensurate with the load
to be carried and the design of the
tire.
If the loads are increased, the air
pressure must be made to conform,
otherwise there is an insufficient
amount of air in the tires for the
load carried and this produces I'M
derinfation, which causes an unnat-
ural wear on the tires. If the load
is too light for the air pressure car
ried there is not the resiliency or
buoyancy to the tires that there
should be. This is particularly true
of balloon tires, in which the varia-
ton of the air pressure is matter to
be carefully attended.
Good Treatment.
Tires, like the motor of the auto
mobile. respond to good treatment, and
the good motorist is the one who will
heed the best advice as to the care of
the engine. He will use his automo-
bile for years and the engine will ac-
tually improve in his hands, while In
the hands Of the poor motorist the en-
CINE will develop a multitude of trou-
bles. So it is with tires. Proper care &C
tually viii give maximum mileage. Con-
sidering that the tires carry the load
of the. car and the contents, as well
as protecting the whole mechanism
of the car against the road blows, there
are no more important elements in
the operation of the car than proper
tire adjustment, imitation and load.

Trucks Speed Road Work

While the motor bus and the motor
truck accentuate the demand for Inn
proved highways, 1t is also true that
the motor truck makes rapid road
building possible and materially cuts
down the cost of such construction.
The old Roman paved roads were built
at the rate of about a mile in IA
months. while today mile of paved
road is laid in ii days or better.

Italians Insist Names

William Shakespeare is William
Shakespeare in nearly every country
In the world, no matter what its
language, but in Italy he is Guglieme
Shakespeare, just as George Wash
ington is Giorgio Washington, remarks
the Baltimore Sun. This is because
of the growing nationalistic feeling
among Italians which makes transla-
ton of all foreign proper names into
Italian a corollary of patriotism. No
nation or language is excepted.
All names of historic personalities,
living dignitaries, titles of books and
famous phrases, notices and axioms
of all sorts are ItaIianized. In this
connection the Italian newspapers
have had a distressing time with the
recent American Presidents names.

paired the damage to some extent,

Farm Efficiency Is
Increased hv Truck

There are many angles from
which farmers can view the mo-
tor truck, says the Michigan
Farmer. 1t is apparent, how
ever, that in the great majority
of instances the truck has in
creased farm efficiency. 1t has
shortened and cheapened the
transportation of many farm
products from the field to the
city. 1t frequently makes pos
sible for farmers to take advan-
tage of variations in demand for
certain products at different
markets. 1t speeds up the de-
livery of perishables, so giving
distributors a longer period in
which to market. 1t simplif1es
delivery by eliminating trans
fers, carrying goods all the way
to the receiver.
In taking a long view of our
farming business the opportuni-
ties afforded by the truck should
have the thoughtful considera-
ton of every operative farmer

contests in German history.
The chances of Hindenburg have

Overnight the German political sit

come intensely interested.
Political observers emphasize that
Germany is too defenceIess to attempt
to restore the monarchy and that such

former enemies of Germany.
Not Personally Hostile.
The democrats and socialists are

national comradeship regardless Of
race, creed or color.
TTNHE capitalists would only be too
4 glad if they could incite the Negro
workers against the white workers.
They like race riots. It deepens the
gulf separating their slaves. The more
blood there is split in clashes between
the workers of different color, the
harder it is to unite them in the COM
mon struggle. The Negro workers
must be told that only by militancy,
will they ever gain their rights. But
they must be told that this militancy
must be directed against the capital
lists and not against the white work
ers who, tho prejudiced and ignorant,
are also the victims Of capitalist mis-
education. This is no easy task, but
there are no short cuts on the road
to working class emancipation.
THE Workers (Communist) Party
4 of America has program for the
problem of the foreign-born workers
and also for the Negro question. The
Negro question looms large on the
political horizon as one of the most
knotty and dangerous problems con-
fronting the American working class
in their titanic struggle against the
most powerful ruling class that the
world has even known. How they
will meet and solve that problem,
may determine whether the Negro
workers may fight on our side or on
he side Of the enemy.
