intensive joint surveys have been
made in the metropolitan areas in
and around the cities of Chicago
and Cleveland.
These traffic surveys give the fol-
lowing data for use by the highway
officials in dealing with the de-
mands for highway improvements:
/. Average daily use by vehicles
of each section of a highway.
! 2. Maximum daily use by vehicles
of each section of a highway.
3. Maximum and 6 hour use by
vehicles of each section of a high
way.
| 4. Average vehicles per hour of a
maximum days count.
S. The number of passenger cars,
trailers, busses, trucks, and foreign
vehicles under each of the above
items.
6. What proportion of freight We
hicles are farm to market, and what
are industrial areas to consumers.
A few sample questions on postal
cards which require no postage will
secure much of the above data.
These cards are distributed to each
vehicle which passes each of the
traffic recorders. Each motorist by
answering the questions and mail
ing every card handed him, will CO.
operate in the study. The greater
the number of cards mailed, the
greater will be the value of the in
formation. A large number of cards
from one station will of course give
true idea of the value of that
section of the highway, while a
small number of cards might result
in that highway being considerable
of minor Importance for certain
types of traffic. The mailing of
cards with questions properly an
swered is therefore urged on every
one.

The Democratic party in Texas Alabama and

in those states has ruled that socalled democrats
who boted the action of the democratic national
venon in 1925 and advocated and voted for the eec
ton of republican president, not entitled to re-
cognition democratic candidates in the approach
ing primary elections
The democratic central committees have held
and correctly So opinion, that those democrats
who repudated the nominee of their party in 1923
stopped from seeking nomination at the hands of
that same party in 1890
It does not necessarily follow that these "Hoov-

LIQUOR CASE RESULTS
IN NOVEL PROCEDURE

District Attorney to Probe Matter
When Defense, in Plea, Admits
Whisky Transaction Was illegal.
BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 14.-The novel
procedure of carrying to court a dispute
concerning bootlegging operations was
enacted in Judge Harry Tuttle's court
Wednesday. The judge characterized the
proceeding as amazing" and referred
the matter to the United States district
attorney for investigation.
The procedure involved the story OF
Joseph Mutinsky, who sued Louis A.
Ruda and Joseph Psota for return OF
5000, he said he gave them for pre-
war whisky which was to be brought
from a Government warehouse in De-
troit to be sold here at prices that would
double his investment in 10 days. He
commended that Psota represented him
self as a Government official. Defense
counsel argued that his clients never
claimed to have Government connec-
lions and that recovery could not be
made because the transaction was IL
legal.
The jury agreed with Mutinsky, and
ordered his $4,000 returned.
