Plate and "Window Glass"

Glass is made in two ways. One by
blowing, the other by rolling. The
blown glass, known as window glass"
Is not always uniform In section, may
contain imperfections, bubbles, sand
marks, streaks, warped surfaces and is
graded accordingly.
Plate glass is free from the imper-
lection of warpage, objects seen
through 1t are not distorted, it Is more
costly. Single-strength window glass
may be used for small panes and storm
sash. Lightweight plate glass one
elghth-inch thick is recommended for
small windows.

Craze for HairdressinR

In the early Eighteenth century
hairdressing in France reached its
peak. Literally. Many court ladies
wore their hair piled so high that they
could not sit In coaches but had to
kneel or hold their heads out Of the
windows. 1t is said that in Paris in
1870 there were 1000 hairdressers.
They were probably kept busy. since It
often took an entire day to dress the
hair. However, the women who wore
it in the most elaborate fashion had
1t done only about once month";

Indians, Poisoned Arrows

The bureau of ethnology says that
the arrow poison used by the Indians
was of vegetal and animal origin
Among the vegetal poisons there were
the sap Of the yucca angustifolia,
preparation Of aconlte, and a plant
called mage, the milk Of which was
poison. Some tribes, such as the Sho-
shoni and Bannock Indians, secured
a deer and caused it to be bitten by
rattlesnake The deer was then killed
and allowed to putrefy. Then the ar
rows were dipped into the putrid mat

Special Dispatch to The star.

special Duepatcn TO Tne 8tafs
BALTIMORE, May 24.-Decision of
the United States Supreme Court Just
handed down prohibiting the confisca-
ton Of automobiles seized for illegally
transporting liquor under the internal
revenue laws, will have q far-reaching
effect on the operations of leading
finance companies, officials here say.
These companies annually invest
around $4,000, 000, 900 in connection with
the purchase Of motor cars on deferred
payments. It is understood that they
suffered what was considered unfair
loss through seizure of many vehicles
before the Supreme Courts decision this
week.
Duane r. Dillis, general counsel Of
the Commercial Credit Co., in explain
ing how the former law worked hard
ships on this company, added:
1.-THE Government usually files q libel
against a car in what Is known as an
action In rem, charging the car with the
offense of concealing and removing In
toxicating liquor with the intent to de-
fraud the Government Of tax on the
liquor. The question has been before
the United States Supreme Court several
times and the circuit courts have con-
tinued to render conflicting opinions In
interpreting the previous decisions OF
the United States Supreme Court. This
new decision settles the matter by pro-
hibiting the conflscation Of automobiles,
and giving lien holders an opportunity
to recover cars"

UNSTABLE PAVING
ENTAILS EXPENSE
Writer Says Roadways That Serve
Trucks Are Costly-Betterment
Depends Upon Economy.

One Of the outstanding difficulties In
the provision Of pavements that really
serve the automobile and truck is the
lack OF knowledge on the part Of citi-
Gems concerning the high cost of the
vast mileage Of unstable pavemnts now
in use, according to e. e, Duffy. high
way educational writer
Cities and towns particularly are bur-
dened with high pavement upkeep costs
For the most part city governments dc
not keep accurate tabulations of street
repair costs. Street repair funds usual
ly come out Of vehicle license income
or general taxation; thus the citizen Is
not faced directly with the cost, else
he might insist on the replacement Of
these inferior roadways that year after
year soak up as much Of his tax money
as education.
In the absence Of accurate street re-
pair costs on unstable surfaces, data
collected by State highway departments
on rural road costs indicates the pos
sible savings through construction OF
properly built pavements. Recently the
Illinois department of highways an
nounced that only SIS mile per year
is required to keep the network of hard
surfaced pavements in first-class con.
dition.
During Tndiana's 1928 fiscal year the
cost OF maintenance of hard-surfaceC
pavements averaged $72.40 per mile
The Ohio State highway department re.
ports that in 1927 hard-surfaced pave
ments cost $168 per mile.
Waukesha County, Wis, installed 12e
miles Of hard-surfaced pavements, and
iImmeesdiately upkeep costs were cut by
A survey was recently made in British
Columbia which revealed that the aver
age maintenance costs on roads and
streets was but $500 mile yearly.
Upkeep costs naturally vary with the
face. But there is sufficient evidence to
show that too much of the motorist-
taxpayers money is being spent or

These elements. says the committee,
create congestion, however, only by
reason Of the two fundamental causes
OF inadequate streets and roads and
the inefficient and conflicting use OF
them.
Outstanding among the findings and
remedies proposed by the committee are
the following:
/. In view of the Improvement in
traffic conditions that can often be eff
fected by relatively small cost in COM
parison with the benefits, there should
be increased expenditures in most COM
munities for the relief Of congestion.
2. Such expenditures can be made
most effectively In accordance with q
comprehensive plan developed by COM
petent technical study.
8. Each municipality with traffic
problem should have traffic commits
sion Of citizen and official members.
4. Except on few major thorough
fares connecting large centerS, and at @
few major intersection, there Is nor
mally no serious congestion on rural
highways outside Of metropolitan areas
Need Of Control Stressed.
S. Immediate relief measures to be
effective must cover adequate contro

standard rules governing turns, mark
ing Of traffic lanes, parking regulations
restrictions on the loading and unload

forcement of regulations.
6. Permanent relief measures mus

widening Of roadways, street extensions

development Of off-street parking ane
loading and provision for playground

The committee points out with EN-.
phasis that the inadequacy OF street.
and highways. springing from the lacl
of far-sighted planning and coming
has resulted In choking many available
thoroughfares. The mass movement o
vehicles-street cars, BUSES, private ant
commercial automobiles and parked
cars--and pedestrians are all factor
that are contributing to the congestion

SEES AUTO ALWAYS
FACING DANGERS.
Racing Pilot Quotes Accident
Statistics in Proof of
His Claim.
BY RALPH HEPBURN,
Noted Racing Pilot.

The accident statistics show that mo-
florists do not realize that an automo-
bile improperly driven or not well kept
Is q dangerous vehicle.
Racing drivers keep their personal
cars in the best possible adjustment.
Most race drivers are able to handle
their cars perfectly, but they give a
ment, tire imitation and proper lubri-
cation.
It may seem strange that the aver
age American highway should be more
dangerous than the speedway, yet this
is the fact, due largely to thoughtless-
ness Of many otherwise normal people.
On the race track we know what
our competitors are going to do under
most circumstances or emergencies
whether or not the driver in front of
you is going to swerve out at you just
as you are passing him? This sort of
thing is done times without number in
order to avoid holes, an animal, hat
or what not.
1t is all right If the scene is a coun-
try road and the next car Is so or more
feet back, but thoughtless or incompe-
tent drivers do it in congested traffic.
when cars are running two and three
abreast. They have no consideration
for any one else on the road. And the
result is accidents.
They turn corners without giving
proper signals to those behind. They
turn corners too fast in ninety cases out
Of every hundred. And when stopped
by the traffic lights they itch to make
a quick getaway. 1t Is this latter prac-
tice which causes large number Of
minor accidents and some serious ones.
Here, now, want to ask you a ques-
tion. Think of 10 people you know best
who have automobiles. Do you know
how many times they have received
tickets for traffic violations? How many
fully.
know personally 10 race drivers
who have never been in an accident on
q public highway and who have never
been arrested for breaking traffic rules.
One Of these drivers has been driving
since 1898. Gle drove the second au-
tomobile ever to come to this country
He has been driving different makes of
cars for 80 years and has never been
In an accident nor caused one.
He doesn't drive around corners fast.
He doesn't drive right UP to another
car and slap on his brakes; he doesn't
weave in and out of traffic; he doesn't
go any faster than he considers safe
Tor himself or the public on the high
way; he never races to beat a light, and
automobile accident. Think of it!
In these days of approximations,
full-vision cars, equipped with the best
brakes American engineers have been
able to design, the papers are still full
Of descriptions Of fatal accidents, due
largely to the carelessness of the rights
Of others.

BIG FINANCIAL LOSS TRACED
TO CONGESTION m TRAFFIC
Sum Of $2,0O0,O00OOO Annually Is EST
mate in Economic Shortage, Aside
From Accident Costs and Waste.

Economic and financial Loss to the
American people from traffic congestion
on the streets and highways is involv-
ing the tremendous sum of more than
$4,000, 900, 900 year, apart from costs
and waste from traffic accidents and
mishaps, according to the findings of
the committee on measures for the
relief Of traffic congestion Of the
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety. The report Of the
committee, signed by E. j. Mehren of
Chicago, as chairman, has been made
public.
The report, with its recommendations
for remedy and solution, will be sub
nitted to the third National Confer
ence on Street and Highway Safety,
which has been called by Secretary of
Commerce Robert p. Lamont, as chair
man, to convene In Washington on
May ~. 20 and 20.
Congestion Not Necessary Evil"
At the outset of the report the COM
mittee says that traffic congestion Is
not a necessary evil. It urges the Fed
eral Government, and the towns and
cities, to take a forward step to relieve
congestion by giving consideration tc
the need of adequate street service
adjacent when planning and construct
ing public buildings.
The committee says:
Traffic congestion is not q necessary
evil. It can be alleviated and to G
very large degree eliminated by careful,
study and judicious expediture for i'm.
mediate relief measures and permanent
improvements, and by the sound con.
troll of land use.
"All cities should look forward t.
their future needs and plan now fol
coming requirements for adequat<
handling Of the traffic problem.
LAS an important contribution x
this end, the committee considers thai
Federal, State and municipal govern.
mentS should give prompt consideration
TO the problems Of traffic congestion
that will arise through the erection
of new buildings for governmental use
plans for the location and construc'
ton of such structures should recog
nize the need for adequate street serv'
ice adjacent to these areas, easy access
to the buildings, requirements Of en-
ployes for off-street parking, congestion
and the needs Of the general area ir
relation to such buildings or groups
Of buildings"
