ARRIVAL OF THE sUPER-sHIr

air long enough to cover 5000 miles

that result from having a gas bag

airplanes forcing the engines to do
the lifting as well as the drive for

ROOM ALONG: THE HIGHWAYS

The mosquito problem having
been more or less conquered down
in New Jersey. that hard pressed
state has found time to look after
the mosquitoes along the highways
at least. the big mosquitoes of
which everyone complains. A new
law down in Jersey is to the effect
that all trucks along roads must be
at least 100 feet apart.
This is a law that every state in
the Union could copy with profit.
The object. OF course. is to prevent
a string of slow moving trucks from
blocking the highways and prevent
ing autoists from swerving around
them. Under present conditions It is
paramount risk for an autoist to
attempt to loop the loop around
four or five trucks at a time: even
look around several fewer trucks
is eminently dangerous. But TO loon
around only one truck is not so
dangerous; that's the reason for the
law.
Along the Boston Post road on
Sundays traffic Of automobiles is so
heavy that the machines frequently
are less than an autos length apart.
Bumps, although frequent, are not az
[ rule serious because OF the lack of
speed possible under such circum-
stances. But somebody goes through
windshield all too frequently. One
state policeman told us they should
remain further apart: but how
about this when that isn't possible
/ It would be possible, however. II
there were enough alternate roa ds.
OF course. sooner or later a Law
will be passed about it: there are
now so many road laws that some
intelligent mot orists can scarcely re-
member half of them Not driving
TOO close to the car ahead Is one
rule that should not even need a
law.

TANNING THE CROSSING

What is now visible to the naked
eye at the Main street crossing Is
that sundry hooks protrude above
the creosoted planks which lie be-
tween the trolley rails at their juno
ture with the railroad rails. These
hooks, we are informed, enable easy
access to the inner or under work.
ings of the rails in case of trouble.
thus avoiding the necessity Of tear
ing up valuable street paving.
Which is quite an idea. To auto
lists and truck drivers II makes no
difference as they glide over the
planks. To the railroad and trolley
company it makes quite a differ
ence if the troublesome inner or un-
der parts OF the rails can be reached
with a minimum of expense and diff
ficulty.
The new rails put in place at the
crossing are deemed a great i'm
provement over the old rails in that
they are not Of the "T' variety. The
latter. 1t will be remembered are
the kind that are plastered on the
highways all over New Britain at
least. those streets where trolley
rails are down.
If the rails at the Main street
crossing are expected TO prevent
that part of the paving alongside
the tracks from wearing down as
quickly as was the case formerly
then the same rule would apply to
other streets.
Unfortunately. when the trolley
company was allowed to put down
rails throughout the city. no effort
was made to compel il to put down
the improved type Of rails for city
use. These are In use in Hartford.
New Haven and many another city.
