In order to get q thoroughly fair

torist--it Is necessary that these two
schools be hasmonized. 1t Is Just as
unreasonable to Jail the inotorist
with three charges Of speeding one
mile over the limit at widely sep.
arated periods as It is not to jail
the man who, In q period Of six
months, Is arrested three times for
driving ct twenty miles over the limit,
And yet to get at the last described
type and make his punishment fit
the offense the occasional but not
serious offender is drawn into the net.
There should be some middle ground
for the handling Of these cases. Per-
haps a fye-year period for three of.
lenses might be incorporated lii the
law. If motorist is convicted three
times in five. years. it is apparent
that he is an hahitual offender, and

TO start clean on the next lap.
1t Is well known that there are
many different factors controlling a
speed case. just as there are individ.
ualities in both policemen and courts.
Twenty-Five miles an hour late at

judge would fine him, with the result

who had endangered no one. and had
probably never figured In an accident
in his life, would thus automatically
be placed In the kame category as
the potential criminal who drives his
car at twenty-five miles an hour in
rush-hour traffic.
In lieu OF change in the law which
would protect the careful driver. who
under propitious circumstances coca,
sionally drives above the speed limit,
and at the same time deal out swirl
punishment to the habitual offender,
policemen should use their best judg.

Opinions differ as to the record that
has been. made by the present Con-
gress and as to the extent to which
President Coolidge has been an ac-
tual leader during the session. By
some he Is declared to have achieved
needed legislation, by others to have
lacked the force to carry measures
which would have met existing needs
of the country. One view Is that he
exhibits a settled policy in opposition
to exefting executive influence upon
the legislative branch.

was one Of general adherence to the
Presidents economic policy" in the
opinion Of the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times Republican,. which points out
that appropriations were kept below
the budget estimates, and on whole
the record is commendable. The Ca

with the average Of the past in action
and omission, suggests that possibly

most like sessions. and the negative

BRAKES NEED EXPERT.
NIotorist Should Not Tamper With
Mechanism.

No section of the automobile plays
more important role than the
braking system. 1t is. obviously, not
a part for the average motorist TO
tamper with. Have it inspected regu-
larly by a competent mechanic. No
one, unless an experienced and reli-
able workman, should be allowed to
change parts or make any alterations
in that unit. There may be isolated
cases, of course, when the motorist
will, by force of unusual circum-
stances, need to adjust his own
brakes. But such conditions rarely
occur. and wherever possible the serv-
ice station alone should be intrusted
with the care of the system.

Maryland U. Professor De.
cIares Concrete Highways
Need Period of Rest.

Like the people who ride over them
concrete roads get tired and re
duire periods of rest that they may
recuperate. Prof. s. 5. Steipberg of
the University of Maryland and as
siStant director of the Highway Re
search Board of the National Re-
search council here has discovered.
This is one of the subjects being stud
led at the University of Maryland and
other institutions engaged in high
way research.
considerable attention is being
given TO determining the causes OF
cracking in concrete roads, said Prot.
Steinberg The extent of cracks in
slab is dependent upon the underlying
soil. the quality of the concrete and
the loads the pavement must bear.
When a vehicle passes over con-
crete pavement the slab is detected.
The result is chat under traffic the
road is subjected to a wave action.

passage Of & wheel. ON roads under

tion may be repeated many hundred
times an hour.
Are Subject to Fatigue.
"EHperimcrts have been conducted
in the laboratory Stimulating these
field conditions. with the discovery
that concrete is subject to fatigue.
which in many respects. is analogous
TO muscular fatigue in human beings.
After continued rapid application of
load the normal elastic properties of
the concrete are overcome and the
fatigue limit is reached. The result is
a break in the concrete and the ap-
pearance Of a crack in the road.
THE analogy to muscular fatigue
N1N.l, y. I,ak
If before failure the concrete is pr
mitted to have long periods of rest, it
recovers its ability to resist the ap-
piled forces, and the fatigue limit, or
life of the slab, is extended.
The stresses produced in roads by
traffic. rs we'll as the reflections and
changes of length they cause, are
measured by specially constructed in
struments installed in the road. An
analysis of these measurements serves
to determine the proper thickness of
the road slab in its different parts to
support the traffic the road must
carry"

Cameron Introduces Bill
to Protect Production of
Copper in This Nation
Especial to The Dispatch)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Senator
Ralph H. Cameron of Arizona has
introduced a bill in the senate to
provide for the imposition of a tariff
of six cents per pound on all foreign
produced copper entering the United
States The bill is known asa senate
bill 2O1S, and was referred to the
committee on finance of the senate.
The bill introduced by Senator
Cameron is in response to wide
spread demand from producers of
American copper and interests de-
pendent upon the industry, that do
nestle producers of the red metal be
given protection in the American
market against the competition of
copper from South American mines
by low priced labor.
Senator Ralph HI. Cameron of Ari-
zona has introduced a bill in the
United States senate proposing to
place a tariff of six cents a pound
on foreign produced copper entering
the United States market.
This will be good news to the peo-
pie of the state, of Arizona, whose
prosperity is SO closely linked with
that of the copper producing indus
try.
The senator should have, and
doubtless will have, the united sup
port of the people of this state for
his measure.
1t is generally recognized that the
time has come when American cop
ho crixy
tion in the home market against the
competition of "gee string" produced
copper of South America if the in
dustry is to carry on in this coun-
try. Other American industries which
are required to compete against COM
modities that are the product of low
priced labor of foreign countries
have demanded and received cympa-
thetic consideration in the form of
tariff protection from the congress
of the United States.
Owing partly to peculiar conditions
of dual ownership in both domestic
and South American copper mines
which exist within the industry,
American copper has not been given
protection by congress against COM
petition from the latter source While
the American market has been flood
ed with metal from the mines of
South America, produced with ex-
tremely low priced labor, the copper
industry in this country has Ian
quished. American communities de-
pendent upon the copper mines for
their economic existence have been
held back from normal prosperity
and development.
