FROM GOOD ROADS

Good roads put dollars into
the motorists pocket.
A recent report states that
Wyoming roads oiled last year
will save automobile owners ST.,
O87, 600 annually. The bureau
of roads ia that state has found
that the cost of operating q car
is one cent mile less on paved
or oiled roads than on gravel.
And the cost of oiling 596 miles
of road was 81. 200, ,OOO-but
slightly more than one years
saving.
Any one who has driven over
the rutty, muddy, semi-impass
able roads that are still too pre-.
valeut, will bear out these fad
ings. Nothing save accident is
more detrimental to a car, or to
the motorists pleasure. In these
days of fast transport and wide
spread use of the automobile,
the archaic. dangerous Cow
path" road has no place.
Road oiling is cheap. First
class surfaces, of rock-asphalt
mixtures, can be constructed for
a very few thousand dollars a
mile, with remarkably low up
keep costs. Such roads reduce
motoring costs to the minimum.

themselves. but return to the

ADVICE TO THE MOTORlST

The following advice to the
motorist, given by Maxwell Hal
sey of the Nationai Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Unerwrit
ers. should be impressed upon
every driver:
/. Regulate your speed to
driving conditions. Twenty-Five
miles per hour may be more
dangerous than As miles per hour
uuder certain conditions.
2. Do not drive faster than
will permit you to stop within
the assured clear distance ahead.
Some one may suddenly come
out of an intersection or around
a curve.
8. Know the rules and regula
tions and obey them. They are
designed to bring safety and
their disobedience will cause &C
cidents.
4. Keep on your side of the
road, it is the safe side.
5. Do not pass unless you can
SEQ that 40 one is coming and
that you have enough room.
6 Signal before you turn and
turn from the correct lane.
z. Drive smoothly-the unex
pected is liable to cause acci.
dents.
8. Have your car expected and
maintain it in good operating
condition.
9. Give the pedestrian more
than bis share of the right Of
way pick on some one your size.
10. Slow down aud be partic
ularly careful when pavement is
slippery, when visibility is poor
and during the evening peak
hour-4 to 6 p. %.
These rules deserve careful
study. Following them should
eliminate to the greatest degree,
the possibility of accident. They
are based purely on courtesy
and common sense-two great
friends of accident prevention.

Engineers drilled the surface of the
earth in many places today in an effort
to determine whether the remainder
Of this little city would sink into the
labyrinth Of old tunnels dug by the
Romans 1000 years ago.
Already dozen houses are heap of
ruins at the bottom of q pit 40 or so
feet below street level. It was feared
that numerous other dwellings in the
area of the collapse would follow them.
The great grotto into, which the
houses fell has not been explored, but
from the surface observers can see
that it extends for beyond the limits
Of the hole, 70 feet in diameter, in the
earth's surface Many homes are To-
Gated on the thin crust.
The houses started sinking yesterday.
There had been a warning three weeks
ago when a donkey carrying a man
punched his hind legs through the
surface Of the main street. This small
hole widened suddenly yesterday and q
wide area crumbled in as residents fed
to the outskirts of the town.
Underground rumblings still could be
heard today, and 1t was taken for
granted that the earth still was set
