WIDER ROADS AND SAFETY

AS you drive over the narrow ribbon of paved
highway such as constitutes the bulk of our
hard-surface roads, has it ever occurred to you
that the average automobile driver must have a
good sense of Judging distances, good eyesight,
and steady nerves to pass another car at high
speed without more accidents than the large total
recorded?
So great is the danger of accidents on narrow
highways that engineers are suggesting remedies
such as: Road at least 18 feet wide, 20 if
possible; 2-Widen the dangerous bottle necks );
Build bypass roads through traffic, thereby
relieving congestion in busy city districts; f.
Construct permanent roads, that lead Immediately
into cities, at least 40 feet wide; 5-PrOvide, at
intervals of not more than 300 feet, level parking
places entirely off main travelled roads,"
Public opinion is aroused on the question OF
widening roads and thus making them safer, but
it will take organized effort to obtain remedies
such as suggested.
Western states are progressing rapidly with
program of widening highway pavements by
building twO-fOOt shoulders on each side of Is
foot pavement and, in addition, putting two fee
of crushed rock along the new shoulders. This
gives 20 feet of pavement and four feet Of rock
which makes, virtually, a 24fOot, hard-surfac
highway.
Such construction produces a satisfactory roa'
at a minimum OF expense, e.1H.

Facts About Trees

Trees are nothing but plants-the
giants Of the floral world. They are
perennials which grow "from the
ground with a single permanent,
woody, self-supporting trunk or stern
ordinarily attaining a height of at

The principal parts of a tree arr

A PEACEFUL INVASION

One of the interesting events scheduled on the
Montana agricultural calendar this summer is
the Canadian Education tour in which farmers
from six northeastern Montana counties will join
in inspecting farms and experimental stations in
the province of Saskatchewan. Conditions in the
province are very similar to those in northeastern
Montana, and the tour will give the Montana
farmers an opportunity to look over Canadian
farming practices and pick up practical ideas
that can be utilized on their own farms. Some
of the Canadian districts were developed a num-
Der of years before the Montana lands were taken
up and several important farming practices not
yet followed in Montana have been worked out
by the Canadians.
The expedition is arOusing a great deal Of in
terest and it is thought that it will be the largest
of its kind ever conducted by a group of Montana
farmers. The tour will be held July 8, 9, and 10.
The caravan is being organized by county agents
of northeastern Observation-Disclosures Farmer.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-COngres-
SIGNAL adjournment date has now been
moved, by general consent, to June 1.
House Leader Tilson has not given
over his May Is date and is still
keeping it in reserve, but the general
opinion runs that the latter date is
the most likely, and in the end, the
opportunity to put dustclOths on the
capitol furniture may be delayed for
a few days after the opening Of the
June period.

THE OPEN FIRE

= Man is the animal that baa made friends with
fire. All other creatures, in their natural state,
are afraid Of it,
Man is the only creature that dares to light
a fire and to live with it. The reason? Because
he alone has learned how to put it out.
Wood is the fuel for it. Out-of-doOrs is the
place for it. The veritable open fire is built in
the open, with the whole earth for a fireplace
and the sky for a chimney.
TO start a fire in the open is by no means as
easy as it looks. It is one Of those simple tricks
that everyone thinks he can perform until ne
tries it.

Alaskan Vegetables Sell
 for Less, Better, States

Seward carrots, beets, turnips, DO tatoes, strawberries and many other vegetables and berries, underseu the same products shipped in from the states, according to a local grocer yesterday. Every inducement should be made locally for the residents Of this city to ask for home grown pro- ducts, he said, for this is a natural resource long ignored. Continuing he said, "How is it that the first thing tourists ask for in Alaska is products? After partaking of them, one and all speak in glowing terms of how they surpass products grown in their home town or state. Alaskans want to get the idea out Of their head that garden stuff from the states is of a better quality than that grown in the Territory"

NEW LOADER USED TO CART OFF SNOW
Speeds Up Work of Clearing
 Streets, City Finds

Forcmen of the department of public works expected by nightfall today to have completed the work of snow reno yal after three days and two nights of work which will result in an overdraft of approxi- mately s1,0Oo in the snow removal fund.
 The absence of money specifically appropriated for thi, work will not necessary cause a departmental def icit since transfers from other ac- counts vii be permissible within 60 days of the close of the fiscal year.
 The storm was almost as great as that of two weeks ago. Beginning with a fall of sleet at 1 o'clock Sat urday morning, 1t turned to snow later and continued almost uninter- ruptedly until Sunday afternoon. Six blows were put to work Satur- day
 The city has also engaged load ing machine owned by Arthur H. Harris and use of this contrivance has greatly speeded up the work of clearing snow from plowed streets.
 Streets leading from fire stations, two entrances to the New Britain General hospital. and bus routes were given fire preferences with the more extensively used arteries of traffic next and their tributaries lastly.

London, Dec. 27.-The American theater is being anglicized just as much as the British theater is be- coming Americanized. Giving this assurance In an address Ian Hay, novelist and playwright, also assert ed that factors and actresses in America are crying out for censor who would save them from some of the parts they lay, and from the lines put into their mouths"
 We have comparatively few emo- tional actors" he continued, be cause we are not an emotional peo- pie as for English and American actresses, I can only say that at the top of the three in either country will be found about the same degree of beauty, talent and excellence.
 Two things can be said about the American actresses first, there is an inexhaustibe supply of them. and secondly, they mature at a much younger age than ours do."

British Fox Hunters
 Have Two Bad Blows

London. Dec. 27 P1Huntsmen seeking the elusive fox have been dealt two severe blows, by a court ruling and an incident in the field.
 Members of the Cheshire hunt were held up by Thomas Vaughan, owner of Fullyhunst Farm, near Nantwich. who refused to allow the hunt to proceed on his property and challenged any member of the field to fight him. Hot words followed. but there was no fight and no more hunting. This is a rare occurrence in England, where fox hunting has been carried on for centuries without interference by the farmers.
 In the court case an injunction was issued restraining Henry w. SelbyLowndes, master of the East Kent hunt, his huntsmen, whippers in and other servants from riding or hunting over the Walden Hall Farm. The complainant contended that despite warnings the hunters had ridden over his land repeatedly, breaking down gates and frighten- Ing the pedigreed cattle.
