Many men fail because of timidity

Frorcr Color Tchcr7s
Important TO House

A large house on small plot is
best painted in unobtrusive colors,
that is to say, colors that blend readily
with immediate surroundings. Grayed
blues or grayed greens show off such
Il house to good advantage. Neighbour
ing houses should also be kept in
mind in deciding upon a color scheme.
The proper consideration of them may
sometimes mean sacrificing a good
color scheme already chosen, but it
will pay in the end. 1t is far better
to discard certain harmonious COM
bination than to have it killed by
others which are not in keeping with
it.
An example may be cited, wherein
a house on the left has been treated
n light salmon color, while house
on the right has been accorded a green
treatment. A harmony OF sequence
could be very nicely established in
this case by treating the house in the
center with colonial yellow.
After an examination of any exte-
rior color problem it will he readily
seen that little thought given in the
selection of proper colors will do much
toward establishing a pleasing. har-
monious and decorative result, that
will be in Keeping with both the house
and lis surroundings.

SAVING IN TIRES
PAYS FOR PAVING

Automobile owners IN Minnesota
saved 100000 last year through the
use OF the 800 miles Of pavement in
the trunk highway system. This saw
ing In tire yea alone, says a bulletin
from the Minnesota state highway
department, is more than double the
annual interest on the sum invested In
trunk highway pavement.
In estimating the interest Value
the bulletin points out such a charge
must be considered for the entire In
vestment, whether pavement Il paid
for by a bond issue, as was done on
county reimbursement projects, or
when 1t is paid by cash, as has been
done on all state trunk highway Jobs.
The total Investment In pavements Is
about $25,00O,OOO and at S per cent the
annual interest cost would be $1,250,-
600.
The estimate On saving In tire wear
is based on reports made at the an
nual meeting Of the highway research
board at Washington. Reports Of tests
made by the Washington State col
lege, the Kansas State Agricultural
college and others, showed that on
a mile Of concrete carrying 100 cars
per day, 500 worth of rubber would
be worn out In a year, while N Iowa
gravel, which Is much like Minnesota
gravel, $3.50 worth Of rubber is used.
Since traffic on Minnesota pave
ments averages more than 1000 cars
per day, each mile wears out $500
worth Of rubber each year, while II
the same cars went over a mile OF
gravel, the cost would be $1,000. In
other words, each mile Of pavement
saves car owners In Minnesota $500
a year. The total annual cost of a
mile Of paved road, including interest,
depreciation and maintenance, is about
$1,7O0.
The average car owners annual tire
bin, II he goes 5000 miles a year
and drives on concrete all the time,
should be $31.65, according to the
reports made at the Washington meet
ing, while II he went on gravel all
the time, his tire bill should be $63.3O.
Or In other words, his tire cost per
mile on concrete Is .539 cent and on
gravel 1865 cent
Using 10 as the index number. for
averaging concrete, the investigators
reported the following rates Of wear
for other types of road surface: btu
lithic, .06; brick. average, IA; macad-
am, best, 10; gravel, typical Iowa, 20;
bitpminous macadam. best, 2.3; mac
adam, average, Al; gravel, uncrushed
ebert, SO; bituminous macadam, poor,
90: macadam, loose, lilo.
The tests were made at uniform
speeds, because 1t was found that
speed Increased tire wear. Higher
temperatures also appeared to In
crease tire wear. 1t was also found
that veal on rear tires runs from
118 to 200 per cent Of the wear or
front wheels, the average being 15(
per cent.

ROAD
BUILDING
LINCOLN HIGHWAY
BEST

The Lincoln highway between New
York and San Francisco, 3,142 miles
in length, has been improved by the
states and counties on all but Al
miles Of it's entire distance. This Al
miles is located In Utah. Moreover,
its entire length Is uniformly marked
with the characteristic Lincoln high
way signs, enamelcd in red, white
and blue on a steel background.
Forty-one miles Is 1.3 per cent Of
3,1R miles, hence a motorist Is now
offered a road between New York and
San Francisco 98.7 per cent improved.
In an address delivered by the Sec
rotary Of agriculture before the Amer
lean association of state highway Of
fcials at Pinehurst, N. O., the secre-
tary pointed out that by following a
more or less circuitous route between
Washington and San Diego one could
find a road 81 per cent improved. In
his article the secretary says that
the route he describes is merely q
collection of improved roads and does
not coincide with any of the United
States routes. Neither is 1t identical
with any of the various trails which
have been promoted in the past.
The secretary of agriculture points
out three other transcontinental
roads, one of which Is SO per cent i'm
proved, another rs per cent improved,
the third 68 per cent improved. In his
calculations apparently he has mad.
vertently overlooked the improve
| ments that have been made uDon the
Lincoln highway, which leads all other
| possible routes as the shortest and
most improved between the two
coasts.
The fact that the Lincoln highway
is best improved Is generally well
| known to motorists as evidenced BY
the fact that during the touring sea
son It carries the largest amount o.
travel. Moreover, 1t Is the route tina
has always been selected to establish
transcontinental records-for thu
simple reason that n attempting Il
make a rapid drive across the countr,
carefully selects the best improved
road. One Of the great advantages thu
motorist has In following the Lincolr
, highway Is that 1t Is not necessar.
for him to make inquiry the constan
procession OF permanent, uniform
signs him that he IL on hi
road all the time. 1t Is the onl,

Sabbath Madness

The Sabbath. once the day of rest. is
now fast becoming known as the day OF
eternal rest. For more people now SO TO
an untimely death on that day than any
other day of the week. Mad motoring is
responsible for this CHASTITY change.
The Sabbath was made for man, TO be
sure. but not for the exercise TO his utter
most folly. Yet as surely as Monday
rolls around we have the gruesome front
page news of the dead. the dying and the
injured who have apparently gone mad
over Sunday and have paid the price.
This is not the full extent of the bad
uses to which we are putting the Sabbath
day. although they are the most spectac-
ular. Add to this list the tangled nerves
of many a good wife. the tired body OF
many a husband. the unnatural stimula-
ton of many children of the families that
rise early and start out on a quest of dis
lance.
Fast and furious driving is likely to
mark such a trip, with many near acct
dents. The mind. body and soul under
goes almost every experience and emotion
except those of rest and repose and rec
~reation. Then the homeward journey and
the sleep of exhaustion or, what Is more
likely. the sleeplessness of exhausted
nerves.
The pendulum swings from extrem t.
extreme. The deathlike silence and stu
Dor of the Sabbath of the past is gone
and probably gone forever. But the
deathly clamor of our Twentieth Century
Sabbath is equally impossible. Wise
motorists avoid Sunday travel as much
as possible. or seek byways and unfre
ouented places. Or. what is best of all
use the car to take them a relative Short
distance to a spot where they may MAKE
the most CT the day in rest and recreation
of body and spirit which alone justify
the Sabbath.
