0LDSTYLE TIRES CAUSE
WASHBOARD ROADS

The mystery of the "washboard''
highway has been solved. At least
very definite proof as to the real
cause of the corrugations on gravelled
highways has been evolved in Sc
ries of experiments conducted the
past four years by the engineering
experiment station of the State col
lege.
Cars with old-style high pressure
tires and no shock absorbers are
causing by far the greatest part of the
trouble, and it seems likely that when
such cars are off the highways, the
maintenance required will be only
that needed to prevent ruts and to re-
turn thrown gravel to the roadbed,"
bulletin No. 10, published by the ex-
pertinent station, contends.
The bulletin develops the theory ex-
planning the peculiar relations involv-
ed. During the past summer, tests to
check the published theory and lab
oratory tests were carried out at the
State College with car driven on a
circular road where conditions could
be closely controlled. Startling results
were obtained, confirming the origi-
nal conclusions.
Driving 20 miles an hour in model
ct" Ford car equipped with high
pressure tires and no shock disorders,
definite corrugations would appear in
less than 100 trips over the track.
This was then repeated after smooth
ing up the road surface and adding
four hydraulic shock absorbers, when
it was found impossible to form cor
rugations although some 5000 trips
were run over the road. The tests
were repeated using balloon tires and
it was found that at the maximum
speed the circular track permitted, 20
miles an hour, no corrugations were
formed, either with or without the
shock absorbers.
so, if you must use the old Liz
zie, fit it out with some balloons or
snubbers, or BOTH" asserts Dean H.
v. Carpenter, director of the expert
ment station and head of the college
of mechanic arts and engineering.
"Then you and the car will be more
comfortable, Lizzie will last longer
and so will the roads.

AN APPEAL TO SCHOOL PUP
Ills FOR AN ACCIDENTLESS
HOLIDAY SEASON
To the citizens of tomorrow but
now the students of the schools of
the state, every member of the Wash
ington State Highway Patrol sends
greetings.
This is the season of the year when
we seek especially to spread happiness
and cheer, yet, it is the season when
traffic conditions are unusually bad
Pavements are slick and all types
of surfaces are dangerous, and the
holiday rush overtaxes all traffic faci-
lities.
AS consequence; the season is
one during which we might reasona-
bly, expect an increase in accidents,
and accidents mean sorrow, suffering
and death. Thousands of homes have
their joy turned to sorrow, and many
glad heart is stilled suddenly and
forever at Christmas time, through
automobile accidents.
This should not be. Gladness and
not sorrow should be the portion Of
every boy or girl, and of every ia
Their and mother, in all America, as
the spirit of the Christ is given an
unusual opportunity in our lives.
This is the season, because of abb
normal traffic conditions, when mo-
florists should be unusually cautious,
yet the reverse is too often true. This
is the season when the strong should
pause to help the weak, and when the
thoughtful should extend protection
to the thoughtless, yet it is too often
true that, in our hurry to accomplish
our Christmas tasks and labors of
love, we become more careless and
less thoughtful and less helpful to
others when upon the streets and
| highways. Y
The Highway Patrol has found the
students in the schools of the state
ever ready to respond to appeals for
help and cooperation, and now the
members of the Patrol wish to ask
those students to help US make, if
possible, the holiday of 1e2S-29 free
from sorrow that follows traffic ac-
cidents.
OF the small children, may we
ask cautious action? Look in every
direction before crossing roads and
streets and take no chances. Remem-
Der that death may Turk just around
the corner, and it is better to lose
a few minutes of time in your little
journeys than to be borne broken and
bleeding tc The feet of sorrowing
father or mother.
To those who are older, we wish
to appeal for help and protection for
the younger ones. Remember that
with the years there comes better
mental balance, and that those young
er than yourselves are less apt to
reason correctly in the face of dan
ger, therefore, it is your duty to
guide them through dangers and sup
ply what they lack in wisdom and
discretion.
To those who drive, we would es-
pecially appeal for extreme care in
the handling of your machines. Traf-
fic is heavy, roads and streets are
unusually dangerous, and pedestrians
are unusually thoughtless because
their minds are upon the duties of
the season.
To all of you, young, active, full
ct possibilities and, we trust, of hap
piness, at this wonderful season, we
would appeal in this effort to prevent
accidents and sorrow and thus con-
tribute to a continuation Of gladness
within the homes of our state. Let
no child suffer because of your acts,
or because you failed to respond to

Figures on South Given
At Negro Meeting

Results of survey on disfranchise-
ment in the southern states were given
by DR.. w. E. B. Du Bots, editor of the
Crisis, at the annual mass meeting
here Of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People.
The survey shows that a larger
number of white workers and poor
farmers than of Negroes is disfran-
chised by southern capitalist politi-
clans with the aid of the police and
the courts. The extent of this dis
reimbursement is an index to the con-
ditions under which millions work and
live. Du Bots gave figures for sew
eral states, based on 1920 statistics,
as follows:
