Snow Plow Right Of Way
On Trunk Roads Necessary
Motorists Urged to Promote Safety,
Hasten Opening, by Keeping
to Road Side

When snow comes it usual
ly comes sooner or later-keep an
eye open for the snow plows when
you are driving on the highways.
This advice, always a good safety
rule, is more pertinent with the
present type of high speed power
units, says State Highway bulle-
tin.
The snow operators will do ev-
erything possible to promote safe
ty, but to prevent accidents we
need and want the cooperation of
the travelling public" Commission
err G. M. Babcock states. ITO do
effective work the TRUCKS pushing
the snow plows must travel at a
uniform and reasonably high speed
If people meeting the plows on the
road will go as far to the side of
the road as possible, and slow down
or stop, it will not only minimize
the danger of accidents, but it will
aid us in opening the roads quick
~"
The earlier type of snow plows
were operated by slow moving mot
or power units, or in some cases by
horses. They pushed the snow TO
the side, leaving high ridge. If
time permitted, the plows went ov-
er the road again, pushing the snow
off the road, but if another storm
came before the entire roadway
could be cleared, these ridges caus-
ed new and deeper drifts. A ma
jority of the state snow plows and
many county plows are now oper-
ated by high speed, high power
trucks, which throw the snow rs to
SO feet, spreading it so it will not
cause new drifts.
One complaint sometimes made
against the state snow plows is that
they block side roads. The speed
plows, spreading the snow, reduce
this objection. If time permits, the
plows will make openings into the
cross roads, on a later trip, but
when SHOWS come frequently, this
cannot always be done.
The new method also makes bet
ter conditions for sleighing. The
old method caused considerable
complaint from those using sleighs.
When ridges were left on the road,
they made sleighing difficult and
when they were removed, there was
not enough snow left for sleighing.
The snow spread on the roadside
by the truck plows usually makes q
good sleigh road.
The new method also is less apt
to cover or destroy mail boxes. The
bulletin nevertheless states that it
is not always possible to avoid hit
ting mail boxes. The most COM
mon cause of damaged mail boxes
is the failure of motorists to turn
out for the plows. When the snow
operator must take q choice be-
tween hitting an oncoming car or
mail box, he naturally takes the
latter. But if it is portable box.
little or no damage will be done.
Better yet, the portable mail box
may be moved off the road before
the plows come, and put back when
the mail is due.

ents married in their teens, as q
rule; today % is nearer the aver
age age, in all probability. Will
the young folks of the next ten
years continue to postpone mar
riage or will they revert to the
youthful marriages of their ances-
tors?
You will be asked whether you
have attended school or college
since last September. The figures
for education have been climbing
steadily ever since the first census
was taken. Beyond question they
are still climbing, but how fast?
And as final question every one
of Uncle Sans nephews will be
asked whether he has served as a
soldier, sailor or marine in any war
in which his country was involved.
We will know for the first time just
how many veterans of each war
are still living. And that will help
to estimate future demands on tax
payers for pensions.
The census is the oldest of all our
Federal bureaus, as old as Congress
and the Presidential office and the
judiciary, for it was set up in the
Constitution itself, which requires
that the inhabitants be counted
every ten years. The original pur-
pose was to find out how many
lived in each state in order to ap-
portion members of Congress
among the states. That is still one
of the purposes, though Congress
itself has been diafatory in reap
portioning it's members in proper
ton to population.
; The first census, taken in 1890,
showed fewer than four million in
habitants in the new nation; $780,
214, to be exact. We passed the
25 million mark between 1850 and
1860; by 1880 we had almost exact
ly SO million, and forty years later,
in 1920, we had doubled that fig
ure with los, 71O,62O persons living
in Continental United States. The
Census Bureau experts have made
estimates from year to year of the
increase since that time, and give
it as their belief that enumeration
of 1880 will show between 121 and
122 million nephews and nieces of
Uncle Sam.

Radio Interference

All distracting noises, whether
they were caused by thunderstorm,
nearby electrical devices, or orig
mated in the radio set, it's batter
les or accessories, were simply &C.
cepted as static. The individual
characteristics of static were soon
recognized and other interference
was noted and classified as man.
made static or simply radio inter-
ference.
The older radio sets, some of
which are still in use today, could
not deliver all the tones and over
tones to the listener that were sent
by the station, so only the middle
register of the scale was received,
or some harmonics of the lower
tones. The result was not pleas
ing and the musical value of the
radio was inferior to that of the
average photograph. A little stat
ic or interference passed without
objection. Volume was kept low
for the sake of tone quality on ac-
count of limited handling power of
radio tubes and speakers. On the
weak sets the volume control is
turned to the limit to get room
volume. The set in this condition
could select only the most powerful
stations and was never made over
sensitive to outside disturbances,
The disturbances could be present
and still pass unnoticed.
Today's radio set is the result Of
the public's keen interest in good
performance. The set must have
beauty, exacting tone reproducing
qualities, selectivity and be sensi-
tive over the entire dial. Unfort-
unately the sensitivity qualifica-
ton of a radio does not center. The
disturbances created by electrical
machinery conflict with the orderly
waves and both arrive as COM
bination of pleasure and detrac-
ton.
Radio engineers have developed
the modern radio to point con-
sidered as the limit of useful SEN
sitivity. Any further increase of
application would cause the clear
est reception locality to give forth
weird sounds of boiling atmo-
sphere. The limit is considered the
noise lever and this same effect
is what limits the reception of dis
tant stations in daylight. No
amount of application could
pierce this noise level.
The high quality OF reproduc-
ton now possible max, extraneous
noises more Objectionable than ev-
er before. Every effort should be
made to reduce unnecessary inter-
ference as much as possible. Per-
ho~s a single interference creating
device in a household does not APP
pear to the owner as being partic-
ularly harmful possibly in view of
its infrequent operation. But in
consideration of the fact that some
innocent looking device does not
operate for any great length of
time, all apparatus collectively, will
prove to be quite nuisance, and

Butter Slightly Higher

Butter receipts on the four larg-
er Eastern markets last week for
the period Monday to Friday inclu-
sive were about the same as the
corresponding period the week be-
fore, and also for the same time
last year. Chicago and New York
markets advanced slightly. Buying
demand has been more active and
consequently there has been a clos
er clearance of supplies.
The Chicago market today on 80
Score Standards is 36k cents, an
advance of one cent over Monday a
week ago. The New York market
on 90 Score Extras is the same as
Chicago Standards. This market
also has shown an advance of one
cent a pound.
In general, production of fresh
eggs has increased because of the
advancing season anc more favor
able weather conditions. Receipts
in the East have been lighter than
last week, and for this reason there
was some temporary reaction in
market quotations. Further antici-
pated increased production is ex-
pected to cause readjustment of
market quotations, and conse-
quently lower paying prices in the
country.
The Chicago market today on
Fresh Graded Firsts is 81 to 371h
cents compared with 40 to Al cents,
the high point for last week, on
Wednesday.
Eastern live poultry markets are
easier and the tendency is lower. It
is noticeable that there is a supply
of heavy weight fowl, and this
stock is now being sold at a dis
count as the heavier demand is
for lighter weight colored stock.
1t is particularly noticeable that
there is an accumulation of heavy
dressed fowl, and prices have nee
essarily been cut to affect satisfac-
tory movement of these stocks.
The Chicago live poultry market
today is as follows: Fowl, leghorns,
20 cents small colored fowl, 26
cents; heavy colored, "a to Is cents;
soft-meated springs, 10 to 81 cents;
stays, 81 cents; old ROSTERS, Is
cents.-Produce Review, Swift &

pose for which radio was intend
ed. Since every household device
can be easily cured of its interior
ence radiating properties, with the
possible exception of violet ray
and diatherny machines, the own
er should give others the same con-
sideration expected of them. One
device alone may radiate interior
ence for many blocks and although
lit may have characteristics by
which it can be recognized, be-
cause of it's intermittant use, 1T is
generally quite a task to locate ii

Appliances and machines which
do not radiate interference unless

lows:
Washing machine motors.
Electric Irons.
Electric coasters.
Electric stoves.
Electric refrigerators.
Large electric fans.
