HIGHWAY BULLETIN
STATES CAUSE OF
WASHBOARD ROADS

According to a recent highway bull
letin, high pressure tires produce
washboard roads and they are formed
more quickly at high speeds, but bal
loon tires and shock absorbers Will
prevent their form alton. This ln1or-
nation was attained according to the
bulletin by a series of road tests mace
by the engineering experiment sta
ton at the state college at Pullman,
Wash. The tests we're made on a dry.
gravel road one and four-tenths miles
long carrying no traffic except the
test car. A devise which measured
the movement of the springs was used
in recording the bump, so there was
no guess-work. The surface was scar
flied and bladed smooth between each
test.
Using high pressure tires and no
shock absorbers, the cOrrugatlons be-
gan to appear after SO trips when the
car was going at 40 miles an hour,
but did not appear until the Tooth
trip when the car was going % miles
an hour.
Using the same tires and shock alb
sorbers, so trips were required to pro-
duce washboards when the car went
40 miles an hour, and 1873 trips when
the car was driven 25 miles an hour.
When balloon tires were substituted
and the shock absorbers taken Off,
no washboards appeared up to 36O
trips, and with the shock absorbers
added none appeared up to $40 trips
| whether or not balloon tires would
| promote or retard the formation OF
washboards on an already deeply
| washboarded highway, is question
yet to be answered." says the report
While the percentage of high pres.
sure tires on passenger cars mas
greatly diminished and is at present
very small, the report points out thai
the percentage of trucks on the high
ways is constantly increasing, ant
truck tires are nearly all of the higf
pressure type. The report suggests
that if some type of shock absorber:
could be applied to all vehicles usint
high pressure tires, large savings II
the maintenance of gravel roads
might be accomplished.

Clever Women Solve Dress Problems

A dozen of Corvallis most prominent
women appeared before the public re-
Gently attired in crepe-paper evening
gowns, made in the latest and most
extreme fashion.
The necessity for the paper attire
arose when the leader of a chorus sing

dered all the women to appear in eve
ming dress. Most of the singers were
farm women and farm women seldom

paper and the atmosphere cleared.
The effect was surprising. and the
creations OF loneliness were approved
by the most exacting of two big audi

cooked beans and squashes and spinach
and that made Bobbo remember that
the bread box was empty.
The man said, very fidgety.
mfr. Kerrigan himself wants to speak
with you. madam"
Speaking of the devil" Camilla
laughed. But dunt esk! You haven't
a chance, Kerrigan, m'lad. Not till
after the first. l was-just-er-talk-
ing with my er lawyer and he
thinks everything will soon be set
tied her voice trailed off family
soon after that"
Kerrigan seemed much more embar-
raised than she. He muttered things
about collections being bad and said
he hated to say it but that until he
had a check he might have to"
Camilla interrupted him briefly.
Cancel that order for today!"
"Ill send up today's order, please
begged the miserable Kerrigan.
Bobbo didn't get more than half of
what it was about. But he put his oar
in.
Dump EN- in the car" he suggested
practically. Il have to feed my dog
before we go swimming"
Camilla's cheeks were flaming. But
the mar in the white apron put the
things in the back of the car and be-
cause she knew Bobbo was hungry and
that his pup was hungry she said
nothing but nodded haughtily as they
started home.
Bobbo was still feeling chatty.
Camilla" he asked, why's club
hova tho nl1pkoct rodHipc in West
chester?"
Camilla said absent-mindedly she
guessed it was because it was rather
a punk club.
I'VE get all the l%eft-overs," she ex-
planned. 1.-The other clubs pay more.
We only pay a dollar a round and the
only rule anybody in the club obeys
is the Don't tip your caddy' rule, I
suppose" she added YEARLY.
The porch seemed heavenly cool aft
er riding in the open car. BObbo UNI
locked the side door and carried in all
the bundles.
Camilla cast a meaning glance at
the sink.
There's at least two hours of K. o.
before I go anywhere" she announced
briefly.
do I have to dry all those glasses?"
Bobbo whined.
Again Camilla cast that queer look at
him.
mo, you can hose down the veranda.
It's all ashes from Gigs. l mayn't get
many more sweet domestic moments,
so I'll smash the china"
He scuttled away joyously, the pup
at his heels.
"Whillikens, Milla," he cried above
the splash of the hose, you're a good
kid! Not to beef about all the mess
the gang ~leaves!"
80 long as they leave at all its jake
with me-" Camilla said.
Unconcernedly she took off the Chi
nese damask frock and tackled the
penthouse work in her exceedingly
brief indies. She loathed being do
nestle and was utterly unframed for
it. but there was a fastidious streak
that couldn't tolerate slovenly sur
roundings. At intervals she dropped
her dish mop to answer the telephone.
She had two kinds of answers. Gay,
whimsical refusals to invitations and
a kind that was neither gay nor whim-
steal but curt and short.

first OF the month"

mince his words.

Tears came seeping through the fever

Bobbo called himself going on twelve"
he was rather small for his actual age.
He hated the very thoughts of staying
at home. What was there to do around
home now that his beloved Daddy
Hearn was dead?

He looked like some funny big bug
with the orange hornboWs clamped
around his ears. Certainly he showed
no signs yet of inheriting either of
his parents very good looks. But he
was a snappy, shrewd lad for all of
that and when the doctor wa gone
said craftily to his mother:
That's a lot of boloney. You don't
have to stick around with me, I'm no
baby" But his chin was quivering
and the tears were threatening again.
He'd heard what the doctor had said
and being blind wouldn't be exactly
fun.
Right there was when he first be-
gan to get acquainted with the real
Camilla. He had never had a chance
before because they had both been SO
busy all his life.
