Money Refunded

2. Students leaving may obtain the
unused portion of their board and
other cash allowances or deposits by
calling at the Treasurer's Office. Any
who have insufficient funds to reach
home should consult the Treasurer,
the Commandant, or the Dean of
Women.
Some young women and a large
number of young men have returned
to their homes, not few with the ex-
pressed intention of returning as soon
as the disturbance is over. Four
young men, quite evidently ring
leaders, have been formally dismissed.
Suspension of a number of others will
probably be necessary. 1t is the in
tention of the authorities to reopen
the Institute soon-if possible within
a few days.
Gratifying Elements
Among the gratifying elements in
the situation have been the loyalty of
the new students, especially those re-
sponsible for the maintenance of the
school household; the comparative
steadiness of most of the girls; and
the practically universal condemna-
ton of the strike by the members
of the staff and by the alumni.
We have declared from the begin
ming that Hampton Institute cannot
be carried on with students who are
disorderly and lawless. We have well
coined and shall welcome back all stu
dents who give evidence of their sim
cere purpose to cooperate with the
officers and teachers in maintaining
peace, order, and the mutual friendli-
ness and confidence without which no
school can be truly successful.

PROBLEMS OF MOTOR
OPERATORS STUDIED
ENGINEERS Will Aid Truck Fleet
Owners in Maintaining
Cars.

Attempts to assist in the solution
of some of the problems which face
operators of fleets of motor trucks
and motor coaches recently have been
undertaken by the operation and main
tenance committee of the Society of
Artomotive Engineers.
Among the problems where consider
able difficulty to the operators has
presented itself, is that of a proper
cost record system. The accounting
subdivision Of this committee now is
gathering information on the various
cost accounting systems that are being
used with the object of working out
a basic system which it will be en-
deavOred to induce the operators ac-
counting departments to adopt. This
will enable comparison between the
operation costs Of fleets in all parts
of the country.
Associations of truck owners, coal
merchants. laundrymen, oil and fuel
companies as we'll as other enterprises
have been notified of this undertaking
Of the Society's committee and have
been requested to cooperate in this
work.

"CUT-IN" M0TORIST
IS CALLED BULLY
"ArtfuI Dodger" Declared
Contemplate and Men,
ace to Traffic.
BY BECK.

That the "artful dodger" of the
highways, the motorist who cuts in
and cuts out Of the traffic stream
without regard to the lives and prop.
erty Of other drivers. is responsible
for a significant proportion of acci.
dents. is pointed out by Representa-
tive Frank r. Reid of Illinois. Mr..
Reid, who Is president Of the Great
National Insurance Co. of this city,
emphasizes the fact that this practice
has become an important factor in
maintaining automobile insurance
costs, and shows that it's diminution In
every respect is Highly to be desired.
Speed in ITSELF" Mr.. Reid asserts,
"is not such a dangerous thing when
the speeder is in control Of high

and a big car we'll under control it

a rate which a few years ago would
have been considered a breakneck

gered.
"The "cut-in" motorist Is a most
contemplate individual. By very ma.
ture he Is a bully-and an ignorant
bully at that. His sole object is to
intimidate other motorists. He pulls
out of line in traffic expecting others
to be cowed by his speed and daring.
"In fact, his whole course of action
proclaims him as a man who takes
it for granted that every other mo-
torist on the highway is careful

BROADER MOTOR CLUB SERVICE
BIG STIMULUS TO 1927 TOURING
Afhliation Of Large Groups With A. A. A.
Fills Last Gaps In Nationwide
Program.

Motorists Association with the A. A. A.
With all parts of the United States
joined to form one great touring
ground. throughout which may be
found agencies prepared to offer a
uniform type of service such as the
American Automobile Association has
developed, it is stated, the motorist of
today is assured of a continuous line OF
travel, with touring agencies located
at regular intervals to administer to
his every need. The comparison is
made to the development of highway
building, which has progressed to the
point where gaps in the main thor
oughfares have been filled in by con-
stant extension Of the finer types OF

Last Links Filled In.
So has uniform motoring service
been spread, the A. A. A. announce
ment asserts, until the missing por'
tions Of this nationwide chain of this
constant administering to the needs
of motordom have been filed in by
affiliations in all sections. BY virtue

affiliated clubs, it is pointed out, a

which the A. A. A. places at his dis.
posal to heighten the convenience and
pleasure of touring-and all this in

Nor is this availability of services
confined only to the United States.
AS an American member of the Inter:
national Touring Alliance, the Ameri-
can Automobile Association has ef-
fected affiliation with % European
touring clubs, and so far this year
through it's foreign department has as.
sisted double the number of Americans
who last year took their cars with
them abroad.
This universally of motoring serv.
ice, the A. A. A. declares. solves the
problems of touring, whether they are
encountered at home or abroad. No
where does the A. A. A. member need

DRAINAGE IS URGED
FOR SIDE ROADS
Total of 100000 Farm.
Owned Cars Cited in Show
ing Need for Improvement. =

Gains in farm owned motor cars and
trucks are shown in a bulletin just
issued by the American Highway Edu-
cational Bureau, whose headquarters
are located in this city. Pennsylvania,
according to the bulletin, leads in the
matter of rural-owned trucks, with
more than 10000 registrations Of that
class, while New York and Ohio fol.
low in the order named with $4,000
and $4,000.
This growing use of automotive
power in farm haulage, added to the
steady increase in farm owned passen-
ger cars. it Is pointed out, is bringing
up in still more pressing form the
problem of adding to the mileage of
usable roads. The word usable here
meaning that all roads do not neces.
sarily require pavement in order to
become economically serviceable to the
public. Good drainage and not pave
ment, it Is said, is a logical step
whereby highway improvement may
be brought up to every farm gate.
Discussing the whole matter in
greater detail, the bulletin states:
"One other interesting fact in con.
nection with this increasing percentage
Of farp1-owned motor vehicles is that
Of the ~ per cent annual increase by
far the largest part is going into the
light four touring class. The per mile
operating cost in this class. as de-
termined by careful study, has been
found to be approximately 71a cents
per mile, and that on ordinary earth
roads this cost may be cut to around
cents, thus effecting an approximate
saving Of cents per mile by the sim.
pie and comparatively inexpensive ap.
plication of better drainage.
Not only may vehicle operating
costs be cut by keeping water off of
the roadway, but more days are gained
in the use of cars, which is a big item
when it is remembered that the total
number of farm-owned cars is already
approaching the five million mark.
This means that greater effort
should be applied toward highway i'm
provement on that large group Of g..
100000 miles of highway which lead
into the lesser group of approximat lv
250,000 miles on main traffic routes.
In other words, better drainage offers
a road improvement opportunity
which has, in broad sense, been
overlooked"

Motor club services, made available
on a vastly larger scale and reaching
into every section of the country have
resulted during the current year in
huge increase in motor touring and
have brought naturalization of the
hopes that for years have guided the
leaders of motor club movement, ac-
cording to a compilation of reports
from the 929 member clubs of the
American Automobile Association.
Announcing that the national head
quarters and individual affiliated clubs
already have served 100000 motor
wayfarers in 1927, the A. A. A. pointed
to the progress in touring facilities
represented by the continued addition
Of affiliated bodies throughout the
country. Only by extending the op-
portunities for International and other
touring service can motoring be made
as pleasurable as the extension of
road-building programs makes pos
sible, A. A. A. officials declare.
100000 Use Services.
According to figures compiled by
the National Touring Bureau OF the
American Automobile Association,
2,500, 900 tourists will have been routed
by motor clubs by the end of this
year. The demand for touring service
and the ability to supply it indicated
by these figures, it is pointed out, is in
direct contrast to conditions existing
10 years ago, when so many Individual
motor clubs f1oundered independently,
and vainly attempted to give service
whose value is greatest when it is
available throughout the Nation.
It is the aim Of the national motor
ing body to expand and extend con-
tinuously their touring service in all
parts of the United States, and to
maintain it on an ever-broadening scale
abroad through cooperative associa-
ton with European motor clubs. This
widening Of helpful functioning in
behalf Of the tourist has been ac-
complished by further Affiliations in
this country Of which the most sig
nificant, 1t is stated, Is the recent al
lance of the National Automobi AS
sociation of New England wit the
American Automobile Associatio. The
amalgamation of the N. A. A. with
the national motoring federation was
declared comparable only to the nlerg-
ing two years ago Of the National
