LEARNING TRAFFIC
RULES is ADVISED
Spring Brings Added Worry
for Police, Says New
Inspector.

Though most of Indianapolis resi-
dents are looking forward eagerly
to Sunday when the sun crosses the
equator at 1902 a. m, and spring is
officially ushered in, to traffic officers
thoughts Of the day are accompan-
led chiefly with feelings Of appre-
hension and misgiving.
Not that the traffic cops dislike
the balmy breezes Of spring when
they are swinging their stop and
Go" right merrily at the street cor
ners. And not that their fancies,
like those Of other mortals, might
not turn when the trees are budding
and the birds singing. But the ad-
vent of spring starts the season of
worries for those who keep the city
traffic going smoothly.
Many autos are due to be taken
down from the jacks on which they
have rested during the snowy, blus-
terry months. to be filed with gas,
water and oil, busted Off, polished,
perhaps painted, and placed in serv-
ice again during the next few weeks.
Worries Multiply
Traffic Inspector Harvey Bedford,
recently appointed, understands as
well as do those under him that the
worries of the traffic police multiply
with the arrival Of spring.
After a close study Of the stu
alton, Bedford had made IFS first Of
fetal suggestions to the motoring
public, as follows:
Obtain a copy Of the traffic rules.
Don't use them as a pocket refer
ence but as a book Of knowledge
to be absorbed before the police get
into the case.
Memorize Corners
Memories the corners where left
turns are not permitted, and note
the length of time for parking in
congested areas.
Map out shopping tours to avoid
cruising about the downtown streets
seeking a parking space, and prac-
tice backing, into parking spaces with
your next door neighbor in the resi-
dence district so useless blocking
of the street in the shopping district
will be avoided.
Recently Bedford started a drive
on motorists who use the street. as
a garage, in violation of the ten
hour parking law. The fire depart
ment and police emergency squads
have frequently complained about
turning corners speedily and encoun-
tering a parked auto without tall
light. A drive on that violation is on.
Keep Plates Clean
Bedford advises license plates be
kept clean, stop lights be put in
working order and drivers brush up
on hand signals.
Inspector Bedford believes he will
be able to aid the motoring public
by urging familiarity with traffic
laws. No driver likes to pay a fine
but many are forced to because they
are ignorant of the law. Traffic
rules may be obtained on applica-
ton.
Sergt. Earl Halstead and squad
have been urged to watch speeders
closely, now that the weather is
warmer.

Hung Out Family Wash

1t was characteristic of John
Coolidge, and revealing of his plain
and unassuming ways, that If the
ceremony gripped the imagination
of the public it did not grip his own.
For the world often looked in upon
him in his simple Vermont farm
house and found him, the father Of
the President of the United States,
engaged in such homely tasks as
saving wood and hanging out the
family wash.
The story of John Coolidge is the
plain story Of plain, inconspicu-
Gus man. Most of his life he was
an obscure figure. and fame did not
claim him until he was rs, by which
time, 1t is conceivable, he was too
"sot" in his ways to alter his mode
Of living.
His story is best told in relation
to the career of his famous son.
Colonel Coolidge was so. He was
born at Plymouth, VT. March 81,
1S45.

have him deliver it. When you pre-
sent him with a number of orders he
is more apt to buy from you. Repeat
orders for your honey will then come
to the grocer. A nice trade can be
built UP in this manner, and the
grocer will act las your distributor. A
good honey display in his window also
helps a great deal.
Some beekeepers have disposed of
the majority of their crop by exhibit
ing at fairs and taking orders there.
Giving talks before schools, chambers
of commerce, and other organizations
is also helpful. Samples of honey,
honey pamphlets, movie slides, and
personal letters, bringing your honey
to the attention of the housewife is
another means of developing local
market.
Stress the food value and various
uses 70 honey. Remember it is neces-
sary for you to instruct the housewife
in the use of your honey, as well as
causing her to acquire taste for it.

MARKETING THE HONEY CROP

ad for some time or a small one in
the want ad" column If it produces
the best results. Do not expect re-
suits from just one ad. For results
you must use repetition. If one runs
a number of ads the editor will be
more willing to run few stories and
cooperate more closely in other re-
spects. Advertising pays Beekeepers
should do more of it.
Roadside selling is another means
of disposing of the crop. Place q
few colonies and a fairly large sign
near the road in conspicuous place
in front of your home. Place large
streamers or signs every quarter mile
for one or two miles away, so that the
motorist has plenty of ouuortunity for
stopping.
Another means somewhat similar
to the first, is to canvass house-to-
house but istead of filling the order,
secure the name of their grocer and

New Warehouse and Dock Of Port of
Vancouver, Wash. Ready Nov. 20

@HE new public dock and ter
L minal warehouse of the Port of
Vancouver, Washington, was ready
for the reception and storage of gen.
eral cargo about November 20 for
transfer to and from ocean-going
steamships and local river craft.
The new dock is a 470-foot extern
sion to the pier constructed by the
city of Vancouver in 1922. A total
continuous dockage space of 1925
feet is now provided. The ware
house, 100 feet by $50 feet, is located
on the new extension, Immediately
below the Interstate bridge across the
Columbia River and is being equipped
with Barlow marine elevator for
convenience in handling traffic to
and from river boats as well as deep
sea carriers. The warehouse is so
planned that it can easily be added
to as traffic demands.
Heretofore the Port of Vancouver
chief item of ocean-borne freight has
been lumber but the completion OF
general cargo facilities marks the ad
vent of new era for the Columbia
River port.

at once ordered the cable, asking
that it be made and delivered as
soon as possible to take its place in
the line with the aerial cable, which,
had been made and installed while
experiments on the new type sub
marine cable were still under way
The number of conductors in the
toll lines is so great that it will be
necessary to, run several parallel
armored cables across the bay to
accommodate the necessary number
of circuits. The special construc.
ton of these cables and the care
that is needed to insure the proper
capacitance make their manufacture
slower process than usual.
Owing to the triple paper insulat-
ing, the, cable core requires an extra
long drying period in a special YER
tical oven to remove every bit of
moisture possible before applying
the sheath.
The diameter of the cable after
armoring is 34 inches, the largest
size which the Western Electric
Company manufactures. 1t weighs
nearly II pounds a foot, the gross
weight of each reel of 2,750 feet
being Approximately 81 tons.

Formation of an Agricultural Coun-
Gil of the Pacific Northwest Advisory
Board will take place at the next
meeting of the organization to be held
at the Olympic Hotel, Seattle, Deem
Der is.
The agricultural council will be Gre
ated for the purpose of further ex-
panding the present cooperative plan
between the producing and shipping
interests and the transportation agen-
cies, to promote more even distribu-
ton and orderly marketing of agri-
cultural products. The council will be
composed of adequate members from
each phase of agricultural production
and shipping.
1t Is not contemplated that at this
meeting a plan will be set up calcu-
lated to completely remove all factors
contributing to the prevailing difficult
ties, but it is the purpose of the meet
ing to analyze and study the present
marketing systems or lack or systems
and that remedies for existing evils
will ultimately result from such
studies.
For example, an analysis of the dis
tribution of the 1925 apple crop among
SO major cities has been made and
it has been determined that the re-
ceipt of Pacific Northwest apples in
some of these cities has been quite
satisfactory, while in others the re-
ceipts have been very low. There
seems to be little relation between
receipts and population or approx

One of the largest and most
unique submarine telephone cables
ever turned out is now in process
of manufacture at the Western
Electric Companys Hawthorne
Works in Chicago.
This cable is designed to bridge
the gap in the land route of the
Sacramcnto-San Francisco toll line
of the Pacific Bell Telephone Com
pany where the bay separates San
Francisco from Oakland. AT that
point the aerial cable that comprises
most of this communication artery
is broken by water gap of about
five miles. The distance is divided
into two separate stretches, how
ever, by Goat Island, small island
in the bay, lying about half way
between the shores.
When plans for this line were
being prepared by telephone engi-
neers, the presence of this island
suggested a convenient means of
loading the armored cable which
was to be used. Loading means the
insertion of special inductance coils
at proper intervals to improve the
transmission efficiency of the cable
and prevent distortion of it's tele-

FROM PLANTATION TO TABLE

WHEN it's dinner time in these
w United States, it's general
~ ly lunch time in Honolulu.
You go into your kitchen, and
perhaps pour out the golden con-
tents of can of Hawaiian pineap-
pie to give warmth and color to
your winter dinner-table. Over in
Hawaii, it's noon time out in the
pineapple fields and hundreds of
brown-skinned workers. sit down
in the sunshine to enjoy their
lunch of fish and fruit. There is a
warm languor in the tropical air,
and now and then the slow strains
of native song are heard. In every
direction as far as the eye can see,
big golden pineapples are lying in
the fields, ripened under the liquid
sunshine of Hawaii.
Just what happens to this Mon
arch of Fruits, from the moment it
reigns on its throne of green
spiked leaves, proudly wearing it's
crown, until it appears on your
dinner table, still colored, however,
with the magic touch of tropical
sun, will be of interest in that it
explains why our canned pineapple
tastes as luscious as the fresh ri
pened fruits which the natives
break on a rock and eat fresh from
the fields.
From the moment it reaches the
cannery to the time it comes out in
the labeled can, the pineapple is
handled in royal manner. 1t is
not touched by human hands
during the whole process Of can

BY 3. A. SLoCUM,
Extension Bee Specialist, State

College OF Washington.
HFTER preparing honey for the
III market, the next decision is
how to market. Beekeepers can sell
through commission men, wholesalers,
jobbers, retailers or they can develop
a local market. Where the amount of
honey produced warrants it, they can
organize a cooperative marketing as
ISOLATION.
Since approximately 80 per cent of
Washington beekeepers are "side
liners" that is beekeeping supple
ments their incomes, they should en-
deavor to develop their local markets
before selling through the above chan
nels. Those who develop their local
markets can usually receive a better
price for their product. When one
does this, however, he should have a
wholesale as we'll as retail price,
based upon his cost of production and
selling cost.
Every beekeeper should know his
production costs so he will know
what price to ask in order to receive
fair profit. Supply and demand set
the market price but If beekeepers
knew their cost of production there
would be less price cutting, which is
injurious to the markets. 1t makes it
more difficult rather than easier to
move honey.
The smaller the volume of bust
ness the greater will be the cost OF
production. Forms may be secured

ting ruins the local market. The same

There are number of methods of
developing a local market One is to
make a house-to-house canvass, car.
rying bucket of honey. Give the
housewife cup or half cup in the
morning and return in the afternoon
or next day for the order. One bee.
keeper of this state, who has 500
colonies disposes Of his entire crop in
this manner. When this is done the
honey should be sold at retail price,
the same price the grocer is asking.
If the wholesale price is figured at
100 per cent, then the retail price
should be 1875 per cent. Some grocers
will do business on a 20 per cent
margin, but they are few.
