If you take a straw vote of the fruit
preferences of your Misunderstanding
them all to name their three favorite
fruits in the order of preference-you
would surely find that oranges were
most often mentioned. Practically every
one would include oranges in the list OF
three favorite fruits, and the chances
are that they would win out by large
majority for first preference also.
Fortunately, this is so, because oranges
possess vitamins of which We all stand
in need, and the skin of the orange is
provided by nature with perfectly
germ-proof covering. 1t is as safe as 1t
is wholesome. To be sure, we can live
without oranges, because We can get the
necessary vitaminS from other foods.
Always remember that oranges,
though containing citric acid and taSt-
ing slightly acid in the mouth, do not
have an acid reaction. The juice OF
canned or fresh tomatoes, which con-
tainS the same important vitamins. has
an acid reaction, which makes 1t less de-
sirable in case you have a tendency to
hyperacidity.
Doctors nowadays are usually quite
liberal in their allowance of orange
juice to patients too i'll to be able to
take solid food. In cases Of tonsilitis
or grippy cold. when the patient goes to
bed with a slight fever, general malaise
and an indisposition to eat, orange juice
is almost always welcome.
Some years ago doctors were apt to
recommend chicken or lamb broth in
such cases. The meat had to be or
dered and several hours had to elapse
before the broth was thoroughly ex-
tracted and had cooled sufficiently to
remove the grease from the top, and in
the end the feverish patient usually
turned his head away in disgust, TAX
ing the broth only because the doctor
had ordered it and he felt that it would
do him good.
But the juice of an orange can be
prepared in a very few moments. For
sickabeds it should be strained through
wire strainer. though for persons in
health doctors now say that it is best

Navy Blue Worn
By Young Girls

Navy blue is always well chosen for
little girls and their big sisters, and this
year rather bright shade of navy blue
not bright enough to be royal blue
has come into favor among well dressed
women for Spring and Summer resort
wear.
An 18-year-old girl recently looked
especially attractive in a two-piece suit
of this clear navy blue, the jacket lined
with candy striped silk and the blouse
of fine white linen. With this were
worn beige stockings. black patent
leather shoes and handbag and a natu-
raj straw-colored hat with a black
ribbon band.

Many Women Prefer
Sandals for Evening

For warm weather evening wear SAN
dals are preferred to pumps by many
well dressed women, and fashion gives
approval to this preference by offering
a variety of good-looking sandals in
evening shades and materials. The con-
vtntional opera pump that has been
chosen for evening wear by many wom-
en- for several seasons retains its smart
ness, however.
Your evening slipper may be of crepe
de chine or MORE to match your gown
or, If dress of neutral color is worn,
the colored slipper may match the jew
elry or other accessories. Thus, If you

may wear beige stockings and emerald
green slippers.
Your evening slippers may be of beige
to match your stockings. worn with COL

STATES INCOME DUE
TO TAX ON AUTOISTS
Gasoline and License Tax Held to
Be so Per Cent of Revenue
From Roads.

Motor vehicle license fees and the
gasoline tax comprised more than so
per cent of the road income of the
States in 1927. according to the Re-
search Department of the American
Automobile Association.
The national motoring body pointed
out that the gas tax comprised % per
cent of the total income for the year
and ranked second as source Of tax
alton, as compared to fifth place in
1923. 1924 and 1925.
Figures secured through the Bureau
of Public Roads for 1927 show that IL
per cent of the total State road income
of $739, 765, 258. or $90,979 ,230, was de-
rived from the sale of highway road
and bridge bonds and from notes; 50
per cent. or $3.50, 1854. 1856 was derived
from motor vehicle fees, and slightlv
less than % per cent, sor $169,818, 473
was derived from gasoline taxation
Federal aid amounted to 80,459,671,
forming 10 per cent of the total.
The statement says that according
to latest available figures 81 states have
an outstanding road and bridge bond
indebtedness of $3.50, 100000.
In the recent election Iowa, by vot-
ing an issue of $100,000.000, brought
the total number of States with issues
of State bonds outstanding to 80.
The A. A. A. points out that interest
on State road bonds, as we'll as re-
tirement of principal, in Is States is
paid wholly or in part from either the
motor vehicle fees or from gasoline tax
alton, and in some States from both.
AT the same time the national motor
ing body warned that while car owners
have always been ready to submit to
direct taxation for road building. there
is tendency in some States to over
burden the motorist. and Legislators
should proceed cautiously.

ROAD IN WEST NOTIFIED
WITH PRECIOUS METALS
Golden Highway" In Colorado
Was Built on Ground Once
Bullying With Ores.

FORT MORGAN. Colo. February g.
Out in the Golden West. where mug
gets have tumbled out of hillsides at
the stroke of a pick. there is a high
way which is mottled with precious
metal. It is called 1.-THE Golden High
way and ranks among the unique and
costliest trails in the world. The stretch
of road, a link in the system Of South
ern Colorado, is five miles long.
Experts have estimated that every
mile of the concrete roadbed contains
$4,000 In virgin gold. The gold has
found its humble resting place under
the wheels of automobiles by reason
of the fact that the crushed rock used
in the cement mix was shipped from
the ore dumps of the rich Cripple Greek
goldfield, after all that was practical
of its valuable content had been ex-
tracted.
Reports show that the highway ma.
terial essayed $3.50 to the ton and, on
this basis of computation, the sparkling
metal will average $4,000 mile.

of their original equipment require

of their original equipment require
ments from the specialists.
Just as In the early days. the present
is time of rapid changes in the auto
motive field, and to meet these rapid
changes certain policies and methods
have proved desirable. Car builders,
even the largest, have found it neces-
sary to decide against manufacturing
all parts of the product under one
roof" Parts makers have found 1t
good business to build up their facili-
ties to a point where they can step
into heavy production on short notice.
DEVELOPMENT of these two policies
has gone further in the past year than
ever before in the history of the auto
motive industry. The result has been
highly beneficial to both the car build
ers and parts makers. The motor car
and truck builders have been enabled
to spend more money on sales promo
ton, instead of putting it into plants
and tools. Parts makers have benefited
by reason of larger accounts with guam
tity production. Both have been enabled
to lower costs by eliminating peaks and
valleys of production.
Helps Speed Production.
IL may De SalQ, IN CIllS COnIleCClOIl,
that the return to the specialization that
was the original conception of the auto
motive industry is in large degree
responsible for the unprecedented pro-
duction of motor cars today. Parts
makers apply all of their specialized
engineering knowledge, machinery ans
trained man power to the task of
speeding production, lowering costs and
raising quality, while car builders
utilize co-ordinated effort to a greater
degree than ever before. releasing funds
for use In sales promotion, where 1t Is
most needed.
So the parts specialist no longer Is
looked upon as mere purveyor of ma
terials. Instead he Is considered as an
intergral part, an actual manufacturing
division, of the ear builders own or
ganization. So well is this fact recog-
nized that parts makers, almost without
exception, have production schedules
under way that extend we'll into new
year, definitely indicating increased VOL
ume of business, with resulting increases
in profits.

SEES SOLID BASIS
FOR TIRE INDUSTRY
Grams Review Shows In
creased Primary Market
and Active Buying.

DETROIT, Mich, February Con
ditions in the tire industry continue on
firm basis with an unusually high
level of production for this time of the
year, with an increasing primary mar
ket demand and active dealer buying
according to B. II. Cram, industry
statistician. Car manufacturers cur
rent orders continue to average from
so to rs per cent greater than a year
ago. Hence, those tire manufacturers
who supply the primary market are
operating at new production levels
This is especially true of major manu-
facturers In the Akron industrial dis
trict. Akron tire officials estimate that
the city's output will average fully
10000 tires more per day this year than
last, and that firms in the Akron terri
tory will supply more than so per cent
of the total American tire market. Ex-
pansion programs of Akron manufac-
turers are being pushed to rapid COM
pletion.
Record Demand Foreseen. =
Dealer sbuying for the replacement
market is accelerating in anticipation
of record-breaking consumer demand in
the early Spring. Experts in the tire
industry agree that the replacement
market this year will require fully So
100000 castings, with a primary market
for at least 20,000,000.
The battle among manufacturers for
the larger. tire merchants, more par
ticularly those who are diverSifying
their business, is becoming more intense
daily. It Is reported authoritatively
that several of the major manufactur-
ers are taking over many of their deal
er stores, either buying them outright
or controlling them on 51-49 basis,
with the former owners employed as
managers. This trend admittedly Is
fraught with danger and is causing
decentralization among the ranks of in
dependent dealers, who now are being
faced by competition from their own
manufacturers.
Future Beyond Conjecture.
Just how far this movement will 60
on is a matter now even beyond the
bounds of conjecture. However, that
major tire manufacturers during the
ensuing year will acquire upward OF
1000 dealer establishments appears to
be the consensus of unofficial opinion
Whether the movement viii also lead
to entrance of tire manufacturers into
the battery and accessory field also is
a matter of conjecture and concern
Several tire companies are reported to
be considering negotiations aiming at
the control Of battery lines, to be mar
keted through their own respective
chains Of controlled or owned stores.

CARPARTS MAKERS
REPORT PROGRESS
Outlook for 1929 Is Consid-
cred Bright by Accessory
Manufacturers.

With their greatest year just COM
pleted, the parts makers, who again
lave assumed the key position they oc-
ilpied in the early days of the auto
motive industry, now enjoy the pros
cct of even more business in 1929,
ccording to accessory trade experts.
There was a gain in 1928 of Is per
mt over 1927 in the production of
motors, bodies, parts and accessories
applied to car and truck manufac-
,urers for original equipment. In view
OF the fact that motor vehicle produce
ton schedules promise even further ex-
pansion this year, and that manufac-
turerS are tending more than ever to
patronize parts specialists, it is evident
that continued upward trend of bust
ness is assured the parts makers.
Trend in Policy Is Seen.
Many reasons may be advanced why
The pendulum has swung back toward
the policy of specialization that pre-
vailed during the formative period of
the automotive industry, but the chief
reason Is that constantly increasing
number of car, truck and bus manu-
facturers find it both economic and
convenient to obtain large proportion

UNIFORM AUTO TRAFFIC CODE
PROPOSED TO RIO CONGRESS
Governing Board Of Pan-American Union
Receives Draft of Comparative Study
for Vehicle Regulations.

Uniform traffic regulations for the
nations of the Western Hemisphere,
as well as between cities and Subdiv1-
sions of the nations themselves, today
is regarded as a possibility following
the action of the governing board of
the an-American- Union requesting,
by resolution, the consideration OF this
subject at the forthcoming sessions OF
the second Pan-American Congress OF
Highways to convene at Rio de Janelro
in August of this year.
The board also requested the director
general of the union, DR.. l.. S. Rowe, to
transmit to member governments,
through their respective representa-
tives ON the governing board, copies OF
a proposed pan-American convention
on automotive traffic and draft OF
proposed national uniform vehicle
regulations for the internal direction
of traffic within States.
Increasing Problem Recognized.
With these drafts of the proposed
conventions and regulations, DIR. Rowe
also is requested to forward to the
several governments comparative
study of the uniform vehicle code pro-
posed for use in the United States, and
the international traffic conventions
prepared at Paris, France, in 1925.
The draft of the proposed con-
ventions and the comparative study OF
the two codes were presented to the
union by the Pan-American Confeder-
alton for Highway Education, taking its
initiative from. a resolution passed at
the sixth International Conference of
American States at Havana last May.
Although their presentation to the
union was the first public announce
ment by the confederation of its in
terest in the subject, it is known that
committee of experts from within
its own councils and from the United
States Bureau of Public Roads has
made a long and careful study OF the
questions involved.
In his letter of tranSmittal, Pyke
johnson, executive director of the con-
federation, expressed the hope that
the data may prove of service to the
delegates attending the second Pam
American Congress of Highways"
The action Of the governing board Is
taken as recognition of the growing

ton, nevertheless vests In the State
Highway Department the jurisdiction
over rights of way, and this department
assumes authority to refuse permission
to erect advertising signs and remove
any in the right-of-way areas.
New Jersey prohibits advertising signs
on the palisades along the Hudson
River.
New York bars advertising signs in
Adirondack Park.
Delaware prohibits signs within 200
feet Of either side of the right OF way
of any highway entering Wilmington
for a distance of mile from the city
limits.
In Kansas, county commissioners of
each county are authorized to remove
all advertising signs exceeding 4 feet
in height within so yards of any rail-
way grade crossing, abrupt corner in the
highway or entrance to driveway OF
the highway, after notice has been
served on the owner, and the cost Of re-
moval is entered on the tax rolls with
q penalty of 10 per cent of the cost.
In most States the element Of safety
rather than the conservation Of the
scenic beauty Of the highways has been
the primary factor in the regulation OF
the Standards.
