PICKET LINES CHANGED
 IN NEW BEDFORD STRIKE
Watchers Quiet and Orderly and Police Do Not Intervene
 With Activities

New Bedford. Mass, July 27 CUP) -Picketlng activities in New Bed ford's textile strike were transferred today from the south end to the north end of the city, when a line of 425 pickets was esta ablished at the Whitman mill.
 Union leaders gave no explanation of this sudden switch of the strike frontier. The pickets were quiet and orderly and police did not in- tervene.
 At the Sharp mill in the south end scene of several recent demonstra- tions, there were but few pickets this morning. Small lines were es- tablished at two other south end
 mills.
 Meanwhile the latest move aimed toward an early and amicable ad- justment of the controversy. now in its 18th week. was getting under way. The state board of concilia- tion and arbitration planned today to make second attempt to end the strike. which already represents
 payroll loss estimated at nearly $9,000.000.
 Chairman Edward Fisher and the two other members of the board
 were to meet at city hall with repre-
 sentatives of the manufacturers and strikers. In view of the fact that a
 similar conference. held two CT three weeks ago, failed completely little hope was held that today's
 meeting would bring peace to this
 strike-stricken city.

 No Hard Feelings

 The men cheered Heeney and Jack Dempsey the dethroned cham pion. Tall Gene Tunney drew the eyes and cheers of the women.
 He Is sure to win," said Park avenue. His reach is wonde. full. v There was no mention of Shape speare or meticulous pompadour.
 Blood Spurts
 As the battle went on it's way and the tenth round brought Tunney's hail of blows finally resulting in the flooring of Heeney, femininity rose in its seats Blood spurted from the battered Challenger'S nose and sprinkled the nearby reporters. whose front row seats. it developed had disadvantages as we'll as ad- Nantages. Women made little com- ment. None was seen to held her breath.
 When the men told the women the bell saved Heeney" they want ed to know the reason why and some murmured displeasure.

$4OO,OOO,OOO Wasted Yearly on Highways.
Says Engineering Commission Report

that the only consideration first cost
should be given in determining upon
the selection of pavements is to supply
basic figure from which to determine
the annual costs.
Where the pavement is to be sub
jected to any appreciable amount of
traffic comprising heavy loads, high
frst-cost standard pavements will show
the least annual cost over period OF
years"
The report presents ngures that def
nitely show how hard-surfaced roads
pay for themselves, through savings in
motor vehicle operating costs.
The report develops the fact that a
modern vitrified brick pavement is a
highly satisfactory and economic pave
ment when used under the traffic, social
and local conditions for which it is
suited. This supported by tests and
investigations. some by the United
States Bureau of Public Roads, and
by citing numerous instances and
quoting engineers and officials with
reference to old vitrified brick pave
ments that have carried the traffic
from 20 to 40 years with little main
tenance cost and are in good condi-
ton today. Numerous instances are
also shown where brick pavements from
20 to nearly 40 years old were rebuilt
using about 80 per cent of the old
bricks In the new pavement.
1t is stated that past performance
has shown the traffic service value of
good vitriied paving brick, and that
when constructed in accordance with
modern methods, have given satisfac-
tory service for Is years with practi-
cally no maintenance cost. and are
still good for long period Of years
of traffic service

Work of traffic officers in Ontario

the American Automobile Association.
The A. A. A. says of this new Cana

Cards are available at all police sta

be made. The cards are OF postal size

Waste in highway construction
amounts to S400, 100000 out of total
yearly expenditure of $2,000,000, 900 be-
cause of incompetent inspectors and
foremen." says the report of the en-
gineering commission appointed 10
months ago by the paving brick indus
try to study highway conditions.
The commission was headed by w.
H. Connell, formerly president of the
American Roadbuilders' Association and
chief executive of the Pennsylvania
State highway department. Leading
highway engineers in various sections
Of the country were associated IN max
ing the survey.
The report states that in many local
ities politicians are hindering compe-
tent highway engineers by forcing the
appointment of unqualified inspectors
and foremen. who are put in charge
of expensive construction and repair
Jobs when they are utterly unified for
such work. which requires specialized
training and experience. In this way
engineering control is reduced to moth
ing more than what is politely termed
window dressing"
The outstanding causes of poor pave
ments are said to be due to lack of
control over construction, inadequate
foundation and lack of proper provision
to remedy poor subsoil conditions.
Lack of control over construction is said
TO be the outstanding cause of poor
pavements and one that will never be
corrected until highway work Is di-
vorced from politics. This is stated to
be a problem for the highway users to
solve. while the other two are put up
to the engineers.
In discussing maintenance of high
ways throughout the country, the re-
port states:
Generally speaking, the mainte-
nance on the State highway systems
is of a high standard and the pave
ments are kept in good condition.
THE average maintenance of the
country roads is only fair, and in the
boroughs and townships it is gener-
ally poor
Lack of adequate maintenance not
only to provide smooth riding pave
ments. but to conserve the investment
in psvements, results in an enormous
waste of public funds"
The report forecasts considerable
increase in higher type construction
particularly in rural highways, due to
! the constantly increasing traffic. In
! commenting on the selection of paving
types, the report states:

Indications are already beng observed
by automobile dealers that the practice
of giving motor cars for Christmas
presents is likely this year to attain a
larger volume than ever before.
Reports reaching automobile COM

There are two angles of automobile
buying for Christmas" said r. S. Cole,
sales director. Some people give q
car as a present to the family: others
give the car itself a present.
THE two-car ownership practice Is
firmly established in this country, as
is evidenced by the fact that practically
every home now being built is provided
with a two-car garage. The practice
undoubtedly exercises a strong inf1u-
ence on Christmas automobile buying.
Where the wife is to have her own auto
it is becoming very common for the
husband to make the gift at Christ
mas. He usually takes plenty of time
to consider carefully transaction of
such importance. month or more Is

tinctly unpleasant possibility that the
desired car might not be obtainable
when Christmas morning arrives.
Giving the car itself a Christmas
present Is not yet making it's effects
felt perceptibly, as the choice of an
inexpensive accessory is usually deferred
until the near approach of the holiday
season. But in a short time dealers
will be getting calls for heaters. mir

cases and the numerous other little
articles that owners like to have in their
cars but as rule feel they cannot
afford to buy except at the season when
present buying is In the air.
Most OF the accessories bought as
Christmas presents for the car are en-
joyed by the entire family and thus
make ideal purchases for the season
when families unite in enjoying the
annual festival of good will and affec-
ton. The custom is growing very
rapidly"
