Present plans of State, county and

call for the expenditure of approx
mately $4,000 900 in highway i'm
provement during the present year
according to estimates prepared by the

Air Cleaner Is Drag.

For genuine efficiency the air
cleaner on the car should not be in
operation at all times. 1t acts as a
drag on the air being sucked in
through the intake, and thus should
not function during acceleraton or
when power is needed most on hills.

For stoppine-Pull over to the curb
from the right lane, giving n clear
and definite signal.
Il venture to say that 1t would be
possible to reduce the time to get
traffic out of the congested area from
10 TO 80 per cent if this system were
practiced and every driver did not
have TO concentrate all his mental
energy on guessing where the driver
ahead intended to co." says Mr.. Cooli-
can. IF only from n selfish stand
point. it seems that every driver would
be willing to adopt this common sense
method.
How to Get Results.
ITO get results from this program,
II should be carried out to the letter
as it is in New York and Chicago,
whore the man who delays traffic is
looked upon as an offender equal TO
the speeder
Being in the proper lane while
giving a signal is essential not only
for the drivers behind but for those
coming toward one" Mr.. Coolican
says. IF the man driving southwark
for instance, can tell by his position
and an extended arm that the motor
list coming toward him is going to
ilahI 81 itlL luI IL, lie Cttl make dlIoN-
ance accordingly, much to the benefit
OF traffic moving in both directions.
Without such concise warning, both
drivers are forced to proceed jerkily
and with indecision. The simple steps
which would clarity the situation for
both would be UNNECESSARILY helpful.
Every driver who has been in this pre-.
dicament, and virtually each one in
Washington has, will realize the need
for Improvement in this particular re.
spect
1t is not enough to get into the cor.
rect lane at the last second before one
switches ones course. If a driver is
going to make q right turn, he should
get over TO the curb a good distance
before he reaches the intersection.
Imperative Combination.
Getting into the proper lane and a
signal are an imperative combination
and should be evidenced for a suffi-
Cient time TO acquaint the man behind
with what one intends to do.
What is true in the case of the
right turn is true of every other
change of direction. There must be

 All of the dead and injured, ex- lcept the motor1nan and conductor, are members of the Sahara Drill Team of Indianapolis, The party, numbering 65, were in a truck and trailer bound for a barn dance.
 So violent was the crash that Ibodtes were hurled many feet in to the afr. The noise aroused the ,sparsleys settled neighborhood and first aid was quickly administer ed. Automobile lights played on the dead and dying as effort was made to establish order out of chaos. ss
 Husbands and wives and other relatives went frantically among the prostrate. dead and injured seeking loved ones. < At one place man stood sil, eptly beside a blanket-shrouded figure. The picture hardly needed explanation.
 "It is my wife" the man said, He merely stood guard until the body was removed. then he was led away

 Trembling from the shock and wringing his hands. he said: T can not get the screams of the mortally injured out of my mind, I did not see the car.

Are you glad to be back?'' Elliston Brewster asked his wife when she returned from a visit to her people in the country. Pm afraid yon will feel that our littlfs apartment is noisy. after the big ness and quietness of the coun- try"
 Lucia smiled "Quietness, Ellis ton? It is the noisest place I ever have known. Poor little Son ny-Boy did not get a full nap the whole time we were gone"
 Tt would seem that with twelve large rooms in the house one quiet place could be found, unused Elliston.
 There is no quiet with Evans. He always was noisy, but now that his voice is changing it is hard on one's ears to be in the house with him. His arms and legs are so long he has difficulty
 
 in controlling tsem. and he races awkwardly about the house, slams doors, jumps down the stairs, yells and whoops, and bumps furniture until other people are thankful when he goes out"
 Wait until Sonny-boy is older," Elliston suggested.
 Do children have to be noisy to be healthy? I somehow doubt it. Couldn't they be trained to make their noise out of doors?" Lucia asked anxiously.
 That reminds me of Aunt Re becca and her boys" Elliston an. swere dsmlling. "She trained them to make their noise out of doors and she never guessed she was training them"
 Tell me about it."
 She started when they were mere toddlers," Ellistcn explained. Practically everything she did with them had a quieting influ- cnce. Of course, reading to them and telling them stories naturally

would have that effect, but she made up games that gave them something to do quietly.
 One of the games she called The Mouse. As the boys grew older they changed it somewhat and renamed it. The Spy It in volved going from one part of the room to another, opening and closing doors and picking up and putting down articles, without making a noise. If the one blind. folded could tell where you were and what you were doing, you had to be blindfolded in his stead.
 'Another game was called Sec rets'. In this game the child went into the kitchen, and, without whispering, told his mother three things he would like to have for dinner. The door into the next room was closed and the brothers listened from that side to hear what was said. If they could tell what was said and either of those articles appeared for dinner, then the boy who spoke so loudly re- ceived only one spoonful of the favorite dish. Unconsciously the children learned to speak softly.
 Still another game was called Sword d'sePoint'. Each piece of fur niture was the point of sword and the aim of the game was to walk all around the room without getting so much as a scratch The boys liked to put the chairs close together and pass safely be- tween them. Thus they learned to balance themselves and watch out for furniture.
 These games delighted me when I visited in the home and it was not until I was fully grown that l suspected Aunt Rebecca had invented them. She did not prohibit noisy games. but required the boys to play them in the yard or in the barn loft which was given over entirely to them"

 A writ of commitments. was issued to the Thurston County Sheriff who immediately sent de puties in search of Humes.
 The Humes's contempt proceed ings grew out of the refusal of the Highway Engineer to deliver to the State Highway Commis- sion some of it's records seized by the Engineer last May when Gov. R. H. Hartley. member of the Committee, split with State Auditor Clausen and State Treas urer Potts.
 Humes was appointed by Gov. Hartley. His defense in the con tempt proceedings was that the State Director of Efficiency, also a gubernatorial appointee. had taken over the records to make an audit and that he was physi- cally unable to deliver them.
