TRUNK AND LOCAL
HIGHWAYS RELATED
Inadequate State Routes Result
in Damage to Town, County
Roads, Babcock Says.

That adequate trunk highways are

even to the few who never use them.
is being proved by happenings this
spring, according to G. M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner The re-
verse is also true, he says in state
ment to the American for failure to
mike the trunk highways adequate to
the traffic they carry, throws trunk
highway traffic onto other roads,
seriously damaging them and increas-
ing the cost of maintenance for the
local units.
'The purpose of the trunk highway
system was to relieve the counties and
townships of the cost of maintaining
roads for through traffic. Where
there is a paved road, or where a
gravel road is adequate to the traffic,
the through traffic naturally takes the
trunk highway. But traffic has
grown so rapidly that many of the
unpaved roads, which were adequate
to the traffic of five years ago, are not
adequate now. We had numerous in
stances this spring where local roads
with lighter traffic, were in fair con-
dition until the heavier traffic broke
down the trunk highway; then this
traffic turned to the local roads and
in a short time these also became
impossible.
In one case we were asked to pay
for the repair of town road which
had been damaged by through traffic
during a period when the trunk~h gh-
way became impossible. We could
not legally pay the bill, but it showed
us what is going to happen if trunk
highway improvements do not keep
pace with the growth in traffic" Even
in the summer when the trunk high
ways are dry but rough, dusty or
overcrowded, some of the traffic over
flows onto the secondary routes.
"All our roads are part of a system,
and we should not improve one part
and neglect the other, but improve all
parts of the system as rapidly as pos
sible. But the quickest and most eco
nomical way to do this, and at the

General Wood Visits Coolidge

Rapid City, S. D.-As the Presi-

down from the porch of the state

ard Wood, governor general of the
Philippines, home at last after six
years of administration of island af-
fairs, spent the night here as guest Of
the President and Mrs. Coolidge. Mrs
Wood was there, the generals two
aides, Major B. J. Read and Captain
Lindsey Fletcher, physician who
came with the general and .Represen-
tative John O. Tilson of Connecticut,
republican floor leader Of the house,
with Mrs. Tilson. They have just re-
turned from the islands and the con-
gresham participated in conference
with the President and General Wood,
which lasted for several hours.

same time serve the greatest number
of people, is to improve first the
routes with the heaviest traffic.
Road costs must be considered on
the basis of the cost per vehicle per
mile. On a gravel road maintenance
increases directly with the traffic.
When traffic reaches 500 cars per day,
it becomes more economical to pave
Having paved road, you not only
eliminate the big maintenance bill
but you can increase the traffic up to
5000 or more cars per day, with prac-
tically no increase in maintenance
cost and no apparent increase in the
wear on the pavement.
1--WE cannot pave all the roads, not
even all the trunk highways, for a
long time. But each stretch of pave
ment not only cuts our maintenance
bill but it relieves other routes. Sup
pose there are several optional routes
between two towns. If none is paved,
traffic is distributed over all of them
and in periods like last April all of
them are badly damaged. But if one
is paved, it gets all the through traf-
fic in wet weather and the greater
part of the traffic at all times. In
that way it relieves the other routes
and leaves them in condition to take
care of the local traffic.

PLAID GINGHAMS SAID
TO BE IN STYLE AGAIN

Plaid cotton materials are in style
again and are becoming conspicuous
among the ginghams on the cotton
goods counter, says Marion Weller,
associate professor of home eco
nomics, University Farm, St. Paul.
Old fashioned patterns of Scotch and
tartan origin are being made by many
cotton manufacturers. Bright colors
are featured in many of these.
Plaids are useful for street and
house wear and are very appropriate
for children's clothes. Smaller pat
terms are to be preferred for children.
Girls and women may choose almost
any pattern which has becoming col
ors. A plain color matching the dom
inant color in the fabric is the best
for collars and cuffs or vests. White
or black often make a vary pleasing
effect. A plain colored hat harmonic
ing with some color in the plaid, or
else an all black hat, is in better
taste than one in which many colors
appear.
But ginghams will not be confined
to plaids. They are being made in
rather unusual designs. Broken
checks or imitation cross stitch de-
signs are common as well as spots
or figures with embroidery-like effects.
For the most part, checks are small.
and in some instances take the guise
of stripes crossed to form checks.
Soft toned backgrounds make these
artistic and becoming to almost any
one.
