STATE PATROLS
FOR HIGHWAYS
KEEP TRAFFIC MOVING SAFELY"
is AIM OF UNIT PROPOSED
BY ROAD COMMISSIONER
SHOULD BE IN UNIFORM.

TO keep traffic moving safely" is
the aim of the proposed state traffic
patrol which G. M. Babcock advocates
in his biennial report as commissioner
OF highways. MIR. Babcock's legisla-
tive recommendation were transmit
ted to Governor Christensen recently
in advance of the complete report.
A secondary duty should be the pro-
lection of the highway property Mr.
Babcock believes the saving through
protection Of the highway surface
from excessive loads and protecting
signs, bridges and other property
from damage by vandals, would be
sufficient to justify paying the cost
of a state highway patrol from the
highway maintenance fund, and he
therefore asks no special appropria-
ton but only for authority to ap-
point the necessary number of officers.
These patrolmen should have no
other duties than the enforcement
of the laws relating to the highways
and the traffic thereon, and should
have the authority of peace officers
only in respect to these laws.
The number of deaths and injuries
in automobile accidents in Minnesota
entire world if an equal number were
killed in forest fire, a shipwreck or
any other disaster" Mr.. Babcock
says. 1T is only because these &C
cidents occur daily that we have
grown callous. The situation demands
that something be done"
Mr.. Babcock says large force of
men would not be needed but the
men should be carefully selected and
trained. "a large part of their work
should be educational They should
make no arrests for minor attractions
Of the law, when such attractions oc-
cur through ignorance and endanger
no one. But they should be able to
deal vigorously with reckless and law
less persons who endanger the lives
of others on the highway They should
be men in uniform, as the visible pres
ence Of men in uniform will be a
greater restraint on reckless drivers
than any large number of arrests
made by men in ambush or men not
in uniform"
The proposed state traffic patrol,
Mr.. Babcock adds, would not supplant
any existing authority or prevent any
county or municipality from taking
the necessary steps to enforce the
traffic laws within its own borders.
The state traffic patrol would supple
ment and correlate the work of the
local officers, would make enforce
ment Of the traffic laws uniform
throughout the state, and would pro-
vide enforcement of the traffic law
on stretches Of the highways where
none exists at present

Big Part Played by
Tempests in History

The only time that great storms are
recorded In history Is when they have
played an active part in the sea fights
OF the world We all know Of the
storm which wrecked the galleons Of
the Spanish armada after Drake had
harried them And this is not the
only occasion on which Spain suffered
at the hands of the tempest.
After the renowned fight of the Re-
venge, in which Sir Richard GrenvflIe
took on a Spanish feet of SO ships
single-handed and sank FIVE of them,
a great storm sprang up. 1t wrecked
the remainder of the Spanish ships
and the treasure feet which they were
escorting. So the little Revenge was
nightly avenged.
In 1889 hurricane was the means
VI averting possible war between Ger
many and the United States. Warships
from each of the countries had been dis
patched to the harbor of Apia, in Sa-
moa. But before anything like actual
hostilities broke out a cyclone swept
into the bay, and Of all the ships COL
lected there only the British warshiD
Calliope survived The blow was so
stunning TO the navies Of the would
be belligerents that they were brought
to reason and signed a treaty.-Lon-

Durability Of Slate
Roofs Proved bv Time

Early Britons lived In mud huts
and the first real building that was
done In England was by the Saxons,
who were as good builders as thsy
were warriors. Finding forests in
plenty, they proceeded to build wood
en- buildings and roof them, at first
with straw or reed thatch. Next slate,
being found In considerable abundance
and proving easy of cleavage, was en-
pleyed and became the accepted roof
Ing for all buildings of Importance.
In Hartford-On-Avon there still
stands an old Saxon chapel covered
with the slate roof that was put on
in the Eighth century. To this day
thatch is used on peasants cottages,
but slate has for centuries been en-
ployed as roofing for the homes OF the
gentry and for important public build
irgs
A British writer In 1902, writing Of
the superior merits OF slate as op-
posed to straw thatch, wrote that
slate was ''in substance thine, In
color faire, In waight light and In last
ing strong" Today there Is little
more that can be said of slate. Gen.
turtles Of use have proved its aston
fshing durability. Thousands of beau
tiful buildings throughout England
and Wales testify to its lasting charm
and thousands of English type homes
in America show its appropriateness
In the consistently English style OF
architecture.

Artificial Silk Not
Yet Near Perfection

Although most artificial silk fabric
is made Of wood pulp, 1t can also be
made from cabbages, bananas, or any
other vegetable matter from which Gel
lul0se is obtained.
People can usually tell the difference
between pure and artificial silk By
squeezing it up In their hands. Real
silk, unless weighted with chemicals,
feels warm to the touch and win not
crease Artificial silk feels cold and
slippery, besides being too lustrous.
Its creasing propensity Is one Of the
greatest problems for manufacturers.
and many experiments are being tried
to cope with the difficulty, and save
women the trouble of having to iron
an artificial silk frock each time II has
been worn.
