Want S|GNALSPUT
AWAY FROM TURNS
Should Enable Driver to Tell
in Advance Which Way to
Turn, ANoists Say.

Safety in signs is the theme of a new
angle to sign posting as offered by
several local automobile men.
Commenting upon the suggestion
that signs should not be placed d.
rectly at intersections and crossroads,
one local motorist declares that many
accidents could be averted if drivers
knew which way to turn before COM
ing to the crossing. His contention Is
that the signs, as placed nowadays,
occasion considerable congestion at
crossings and that many collisions
occur as q direct consequence.
The tourist ought to know which
way to go before actually reaching a
cross roads," he explains. This could
be accomplished by placing signposts
at points several hundred feet before
intersections and crossroads are reach
ed. The worst the careless driver
could do in reading these signs would
be to stop abruptly. But when he
reads the customary signs at the in
tersections he not only stops abrupt
ly. but often makes sudden turns.
Even where drivers are careful to
slow down and warn others that they
are going to hesitate long enough to
read the signposts a certain amount
OF congestion develops under existing
conditions. While this Is In process
some speeder comes along and pre-
cipitates an accident.
IF signposts We're displayed before
intersections are reached tourists
would enjoy the further advantage of
making better time, because they
could keep moving at fairly good
speed even while reading the signs"

farmers encouraged, or that planta-
ton areas might be found in the ad-
jacent Dominican Republic.
The automobile tire Is the large item
in the list Of rubber uses, and tire
manufacturers are studying the situa-
ton closely in an effort to avoid a
diminution Of supply for this purpose
in later years. From the standpoint
Of conservation. rubber manufacturers
are continuing their endeavors to
make tires wear longer, and have ef-
fected improvements in processes that
have increased the life Of tires rom a
few hundred miles, which originally
was the maximum, to several thou
sand miles today.
OF material assistance in the I'M
provement Of manufacturing processes
has been the increase Of the number
Of uses to which rubber is put. 1t is
now used for q great variety of pur-
poses, q few Of which are bathing ar
ticles. automobile fan belts. vacuum

doors and heels for shoes. a use which
became widely popular after the cush.

wheels. They may know that the
fronts of the front wheels should be
closer together than their rears. but
1t Is q difficult thing to measure &C
curately. and alignment is an accurate
matter. A handy solution to this
problem Is to use a conventional two
section curtain rod such as any house
wife uses to hang up a lace curtain.
Slide the rod in or out until It Ats
the respective spaces and then meas
ure the distance from one of its ends
to the other.

A POOR PRACTICE

1t is a very general practice for Judges and magistrates,
after sentencing an offender, to suspend sentence providing the
culprit absents himself from the Jurisdiction of the court and
does not return for a specified time. A case illustrating the
point recently came to light in New Jersey when a man, plead
ing guilty to carrying concealed weapons, was put under sus-
pended sentence and warned that he must leave the jurisdiction
II the T state at once and not return therein for five years
a man is guilty or he is innocent. Either he deserves a probation
or parole period under the supervision of the proper officers or
ne does not deserve this leniency. But here is the spectacle of
a guilty man, a man guilty of high misdemeanor, being let off
scot free and foisted off on another state where he may elect
to go, absolutely unpublished.
Let a state punish a crime within the state. Why should
the rest OF the nation suffer from the depreciation of criminals
exiled from the scene of their wrong-doings by a selfish Justice
which seeks not to correct a condition but to conduct a judicial
system at a minimum of expense. What matters it to law
breakers where the scenes of their next escapades are? They
escape the payment of their crimes against society without even
having to serve a term in the county jail. Of what use is a
court OF law? Why not simply broadcast to the underworld
that we don't want them to break the laws but if they do just
five years"

FARM LEGISLATION HAVING FIGHT

The possibility of effective farm legislation being enacted
during the remaining days of the present session is admittedly
growing quite dubious. President Coolidge in appointing the
agricultural commission to make a survey and suggest remedies
particularly impressed on the commission his desire for quick
action. His position is unchanged, but the hearings, which
opened Monday, February 2, have already developed a decided
division of opinion as to the proper remedies, in fact, a general
confusion among the agricultural experts which does not in
crease the chances of immediate effective action along the lines
which the President desires. There are also substantial grounds
for belief that the insurgent members of Congress nursing a
grievance, because the farmers failed to rally to the third party
standard, are actively shipping" the legislation with the idea
of thus Furnishing the farmers. This is an unfortunate situa-
ton, but happily the delay cannot persist beyond the opening
ehi the next session of Congress, for in that body the President
fortunately, the Presidents determination to secure the enact
ment of such a program can never be weakened by reason of
delay.

Friends in Need

The character of those who are
taking an active part in the aiding
of Floyd Collins, trapped cave ex-
plored of Kentucky, can be read
in the accounts of the rescue work
which has been in progress for ten
days. Some are doing their all to
aid Collins. other will help if they
can be boss. Others are afraid to
take any personal chances. MANY
of his old friends are frantically at
work to help. Others are doing
nothing. Many men, perfect strrang-
ers to Collins, are working frantic
ally to aid him. They have no ac-
quaintanceship with Collins, but

THE FUTURE FARMERS

The future farmers, agrculturists and stockmen of America
met In Bozeman, Montana, last week. There We're over one
thousand of them present, representing about one hundred
and seventy teams from high schools and universities of Mon
tana, Idaho, Wyoming and the Dakotas. Those teams represented
the best agricultural club workers and livestock students in the
west who are to carry on the work for which they are now be-
ing fitted in future years.
Both farming and livestock growing should see the results
of this training during the next half century. Under the super
vision of men who have the training these boys are receiving
the art should be on a higher plane than ever known before. in
America.
Not only did these young men who attended the Bozeman
conference have an opportunity to hear lectures by world re-
nowned authorities, but they are receiving in their every day
school work practical instruction which is fitting them to carry
on in their chosen work with the greatest of efficiency.

MASONRY AND BOOTLEGGING

The newspapers of the nation are making much of an item
which declares that the Masonic lodge of Kentucky has gone
on record as barring bootleggers from its membership. Just
what are the outstanding features of this fact that makes it
such a juicy piece of news and one which is being copied by prac-
tlcany all papers is not apparent. Is it because the practice has
had the approval of the best people in Kentucky until recently,
or is the significance of the article that from date those engaged
in the unlawful business in the southern state are to be clas-
sifed with other law violators and criminals?
Masonry has always stood for the best in citizenship. The
greatest and best men of all ages have been identified with the
order, and it is only natural that when the time came when
the ctizenry of the United States became tolerant of violators
of the constitution and laws of the land that this order would
take the first step setting a standard for the guidance of all
fraternal orders which have as their aim the best interests of
our government.
