MONEY TO Be MADE
BY HOME CANNING
AROUSES HOUSEWIVES
Higher Prices Loom for
Canned Goods Bought
Next Winter

All over the country women are
realizing that if they put up fruit
now they will have extra money in
their purses next winter. Even the
newlywed is being attracted by the
unusually low price of pure cane
sugar and choice fruit and is pleas
antly surprised at the ease in put
ting up nice variety of preserves,
jellies and jams.
For the woman who takes pride
in her menus, there is real satisfac-
ton in putting quivering colorful
mold Of her own homemade jelly
on the table. And if she appre-
ciates the value of fruit in the bal
anced diet, she will be happy in the
fact that her shelves are we'll
stocked with preserved pears,
plums, peaches or other fruits.
Sweet pickles and relishes made
Of cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage or
watermelon rind are also inexpen-
sive and easy to preserve. Their
spicy tart-sweet goodness encour-
ages the consumption of essential
foods such as meat, fish and vege-
tables. Good food promotes good

SCHOOLS AID
MEETING SET
Two Relief Plans to Come
Before Commission.

Two plans for reforming common
school financing and solving state
aid problems will be discussed at
the next meeting of the state aid
commission to be held Sept. "a, Roy
P. Wisehart, state superintendent of
public instruction, said today.
One plan calls for the state to
take over all minimum school costs
and the other is to revamp the pres
ent state aid law.
Commissioners have been invited
by Director Richard Lieber of the
state conservation department to
convene at the state forest at Henry
vile and to tour the southern In
diana Abandoned farm and hill dis
trict. Meeting then would be held at
Clifty Falls state park, Madison.
Purpose of the plan is to interest
the commissioners in the reforesta-
ton program as a solution Of state
aid for schools. The idea is for the
state to purchase and reforest de-
funct townships in southern Indiana
and eliminate the burden of the
schools.

BABY'S LIFE IS
SAVED BY RIDE
10000 FEET UP
Thin Air, Low Pressure of
Plane Jaunt What He
Needed to Revive.

BIZ Scripps-HoUdrd NetospaDer Alliance
TULSA, Okla, Sept. 9.-How the
life of a seven-day Oklahoma baby
was saved by 10O00-foot high
airplane ride just has been disclosed
here.
At the time Of his birth, doctors
held little hope that the baby boy
of Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Parriott, Of
Tulsa, would live. He was unable
to take nourishment, and hourly
kept getting weaker.
Finally they decided to send him
to st. Louis hospital specializing
in child diseases. The quickest way
there was by airplane. Southwest
Air Fast Express runs four planes a
day between Tulsa and st. Louis.
Managers of the line were asked
if they would take the baby. They
would. So he was brought out to
the airport in a market basket, and
put aboard plane. Pilots and field
attendants who saw the baby said
they could not tell whether he was
dead or alive.
Due to head winds near the
ground, the plane climbed to 10000
feet, and most Of the three and a
half hour journey was made at that
altitude.
Half way to st. Louis, the baby

The child gained an oWice and a
half the first night and now has
recovered. And, strangely enough,
the physicians said that the air
trip was just the thing for the in
fant-sort of the first step in the
ordinary treatment that they would
give. The combination of low tenn
perature, thin air and low pressure
at the two-mile height was just
what the baby needed.

Automobile Increases Longevity and
Broadens Mental Horizon.

which the family returns Is hot as an
oven and the air Is still.
During the daytime the mother and
children can take the car and drive out
of the city from the warm, unyielding
city pavement, overcrowded beaches and
parks, out into the country, where there
Is sunshine and an abundance of fresh
air and quietness to create and preserve
vitality. The automobile Is good health
insurance and helps to keep the family
fit.
And sports, which delight most peo-
pie, are brought closer at hand through
the use Of a motor car. Distant points
where the family may enjoy fishing,
sailing, golf, swimming and camping.
are comparatively easily reached. Roads
are good and maps Of all routes obtain
able.
Not Restricted.
One rather delightful aspect Of the
automobile is that its use Is not re-
stricted to particular age of an indi-
vidual or to either sex. Older folks,
young folks and children alike, gain in
health and strength by fresh air and
sunshine, and find the pleasure of auto
mobile riding equally enjoyable and
stimulating. Probably older folks feel
most dependent on the automobile and
are more handicapped by its lack, for
often they cannot travel on trolleys and
trains. Through the automobile they
can keep In touch with what goes on In
the world, see new country and lovely
things as well as younger folks and
find 1t possible TO visit relatives and
children and grandchildren, which
would not be possible without q motor
car.
There is, besides health, to be gained
in travelling by auto, more broadened
mental horizon. New country and new
people are seen by taking trips. Travel
ing about by automobile also does one
thing more. 1t keeps the family to-
gether greater part Of their leisure
time and makes easier for parents the
direction and control of the activities
Of their children. And 1t is a form Of
recreation in which all who take part
can thoroughly enjoy themselves.
One would not call the automobile q
luxury, but q common sense, thoroughly
enjoyable necessity Without it the
modern family would be far less happy.
1t does inestimable good in releasing
the family and the wage Garner from
the confines of four walls by taking
them away from the monotonous run
Of everyday living and by helping TO
keep the family united.
The fresh air cools and invigorates
the individual as the car rolls along,
the sun does not seem so hot when the
wind blows past and trees and fields
are pleasing to the eye. The charm and
restfulness of the countryside, the
woods or the lakeside are especially
appreciated on longer, week end trips.

Steel Foundations for Public Roads
Is Latest Engineering Development

Steel foundations for public roads Is
the latest development in prospect in
highway engineering.
The motoring public, long familiar
with unsightly cracks in rigid road
surfaces and the rutting and showing
of the softer types, may now have
roads that will be at all times smooth;
that, according to estimates, will last
several times longer than pavements
now in use, and over which trafflc may
move with increased safety at a speed
ranging between so to 100 miles an
hour. In fact, this steel-based road
heralds the coming Of the real super
highway, according to the view Of road
builders, who have given the new de-
Yelopment close study.
The first test road embodying this
new steel construction is being built
on a section of the Sangamon County,
Ill, highway system. AS explained by
engineers, the road will have a carefully
rolled and prepared subgrade on which
the steel base and curb will be laid.
Next viii follow nastic sand cushion
upon which will be placed a layer of
az or inch brick, with an asphaltic
filler poured into the interstices between
the brick. The result will be an inde-
structible base with a smooth riding
surface built into the structure with
sufficient dexibility to meet all changes
in temperature without breaks or cracks
on the surface.
Permission TO construct this steel Sec
ton has been granted by Frank T.
Sheets. chief engineer of highways in
Illinois, and the test road Will be built
under the supervision Of Truman L..
Plat, superintendent Of highways in
SauRamon County.
HUr this new foundation a type OF
steel that would resist the corrosive eff
eacsS Of rust was essential, and the
AMERICAN Rolling Mills of Middletown,
Ohio, viii manufacture the steel for
mis- first steel highway. The road will
be carefully observed in service, and de-
tailed records kept, which, according
to its proponents, will bring out its
points of superiority
Steel is probably the most universally
useful and important product Of the
world today, and it has always been a
fond, even though vague dream, that
eventually there might be highways Of
steel. However, there were problems TO
be solved such as construction, proper

RIGHT OF WAY SET
BY COURT DECISION
American Motorists Association
Cites Recent Ruling Of Wash
ington State Tribunal.

That the driver Of an automobile on
the right at an intersection, has the
right of way Is a principle well known
to every motorist.
The relative duty imposed on each
driver, however, has been the suplect
of much dispute and litigation and mas
been greatly clarified by decision JUST
rendered by the Washington state Su1
preme Court and reported by the legai
department OF the American Motorists,
Association for the Information OF
Washington motorists.
1.-THE majority Of accidents at inter-
sections between moving vehicles. arises
usually through an error OF Judgment
on the part OF one, or both drivers" IL
is pointed out by Thomas j. Keefe,
general manager of the A. M. A.. IN
the case just reported the plaintiff was
the motorist on the right. He recovered
showed that at the instant each saw the
other the driver on the left (defendant
was at the curb line, travelling IL miles
per hour. The plaintiff, on the right,
was 100 feet away, going % miles per
hour. The impact occurred exactly al
the intersection"
In reversing the decision four prin-
ciples controlling the division of re-
sponsibility were summed up by the
court as follows:
"a II the automobile on the left is
proceeding at q lawful rate Of speed
and the automobile on the right is ex-
ceeding the speed limit (Which the facts
showed) then the automobile on the
right is not simultaneously approaching
a given point within the intersection, as
that term is used in law. (2) All rights
of way are relative and the duty tc
avoid accidents at intersections rests
upon both drivers. (3) The primary
duty of avoiding such accidents rests
upon the driver on the left, but 90 II
he assumes and successfully meets the
burden of producing evidence to show
that the cars were not simultaneously

traction for trafiic, cost and life. 1t is
generally conceded that steel would
afford a construction which would have
many advantages as to load-bearing
strength and ease of laying. But many
felt that steel road could not be built
at a price within reason. Also, that 1t
would be Gifficult to secure proper trac-
ton when traffic was placed directly
on steel wearing surface. Steel engi-
neers have attacked the problem and
by means of extensive research and
tests have developed a type Of steel
base construction which, used In con-
nectlon with a proper surfacing mate
rial, would not only give an exception
ally strong highway, but would permit
a wearing surface Of some flexible type
such as asphalt, bituminous-filled brick,
ETC., which would be ideal for the wheels
of traffic.
The problem Of initial cost Of such
a superpavement has also been attacked
by steel oficials and engineers and by
using certain methods of construction
developed in their tests they have been
able to get the cost down TO o price
comparable to other present-day pave
ments of the higher types.

meeting of the American Chemical So
ciety at Cincinnati, September 8 to IL,
to discuss developments which, 1t is
declared, are reshaping the future of

These developments, chemists point
out, center largely about new uses Of
high pressures, of which the hydro
genation of petroleum is one Of the out
standing products to date. Discovery
of the value of such pressures is be-
lieved to mark the foremost advance
achieved in applied chemistry in the

niIan L. Aa...l. =.

GOD roads lead into the
A National Capital from al
sides. In a Comparatively
short time now Baltimore
will be connected with Washing
! ton by means of a magnificent
boulevard of adequate width. Mo-
florists of the city have watched
with appreciation the progress on
that stretch of less than 40 miles
The road to Annapolis is to be
widened in the near future by the
addition of shoulders. The high
way leading to Frederick and the
West Is in good condition with a
little widening needed here and
there. True, the short cut is tenn
porarily blocked by a fallen bridge
over the Monacacy, but the addi-
tional few miles made necessary
at present Is not enough to COM
plain about.
Other Improved Highways.
Southern Maryland highways
have been improved and short
cuts recently made possible. The
highway to Richmond also is in
fine state of repair, and with the
growing progress of the Old Do
rninlon, it Is not unlikely that the
road south may be widened in a
few years as the road to Balti-
more now is being done, even
though there is not as much
traffic on 1t.
With the above accepted as
true, it surely seems deplorable
that one of the show places in the
District Of Columbia is so made
Quately cared for. Potomac Park
Is mecca for tourists and WASH
lngtonianS alike, during the
cherry blossom season and all
others. The Lincoln Memorial,
the Washington Monument and
the Arlington Bridge, now almost
completed, all add to the majesty
OF the park.
Potomac Park Neglected.
Why Is it then that the long
stretch of road leading around
Hams Point is being neglected?
The part on the south side is
mass Of rolls and waves almost
enough to make one seasick. If
the foundation Of the roadway on
the fllled-in ground is not heavy
enough to carry the wear and
tear of thousands of vehicles it
should be torn up and remedied.
The surface is still smooth, but
moves like the pillows on the sea.
Another blenliSh is there to
mar the pleasure Of real enjoy
ment. This has nothing to do
with the roadway itself, but the
value of beauty. Seaweed and sea
grass has been allowed to grow at
the edge of the wall that is espec-
tally disfiguring at low tide. It
gives the appearance of swamp,
and must be a delight only to
mosquitoes. The longer this con-
dition Is allowed to remain, the
worse it will get. Cost Of removal
Is now mounting into real money,
but regardless of that fact it
should be done.
Speaking of roads, the real
minds that plan such necessities
are coming to Washington and
they are coming strong.

SULPHUR CONTENT SMALL
Only 10 Per Cent Found in Motor
Fuels by Bureau of Mines.

The sulphur content of typical motor
fuels marketed in the United States Is
relatively small, according to the United
States Bureau Of Mines, Department of
Commerce, following a survey made in
IL representative cities. More than 30
per cent of the samples analysed had
0.10 per cent sulphur or less, and 72.5
per cent had 0.06 per cent sulphur or
less. These motor fuels of low sulphur
content are found in every city In
which samples were taken and it ap-
pears that so long as conditions re-
main substantially as at present, no
difhculty should be experienced in OBJ
tanning gasoline under a specification
requiring that the sulphur content shall
not be more than 0.1O per cent.
