state in 1882 developed bridge designs
which permit future widening at q
minimum expense, using practically
al, of the old structure. The roadway
widths of new bridges as now con-
structed provide sufficient width and
strength to take care of the present
and immediate future traffic needs,
all depending upon the local require
ments. Piers, abutements and super
structure of all new bridges are de-
signed for these changes should future
traffic demand change.
Bridge construction has changed
considerably in recent years due to
traffic conditions. In the past the To-
cation of the bridge was selected be-
cause of the ease of construction, but
today the first consideration is COM
structing a bridge to best serve the
traffic whether it may require its To-
cation diagonally across a stream or
whatever position would facilitate
travel and add safety and convenience
tc the travelling public.
At present the state highway sys-
tenn has 433 grade separations, Sab
box culverts, 43,350 pipe culverts and
! 10,476 bridges, 3,166 Of which should
be immediately replaced or recon-
structed

Station Seeks
Better Potatoes
For Ohio Growers

Potatoes coming into Ohio markets
from ether states are usually more
attractive in appearance than the
home grown crop. This is particularly
true of the Green Mountain variety
from Maine. 1t is a white, smooth,
shallow-eyed potato when grown in
maine, but when grown in Ohio the
skin Is dark and the shape irregular.
In the variety and strain tests of po-
tatoes conducted by John Bushnell at
the Experiment Station, special effort
is being made to find late, white po-
tato which, when grown here, will be
as attractive as the Green Mountain
from Maine and will yield as well as
the Russet Rural.
Attention is being focused on the
White Rural, or Smooth Rural, grown
commercially in Wisconsin, Michigan,
and New York. In Ohio tests, the
samples from Wisconsin and Michigan
have failed to yield as well as the Rus
set Rural; whereas some of the special
strains from New York have yielded
as we'll as the best of the Russet Ru-
rails.
The best Of the White Rurals, how
ever, do not equal the best Of the
Green Mountains in appearance. The
katahdin, introduced 3 years ago by
the Z. S. Department of Agriculture,
is the most attractive variety that has
been tested in Ohio, but unfortunately
it yields only about so per cent as well
as the Russet Rural.
With regard to early varieties, the
Irish Cobbler as grown in Ohio is
equal and sometimes superior in ap-
pearance to any early variety coming
to Ohio markets. The homegrown
crop, therefore, if properly graded
brings as high a price as any. The
Irish Cobbler is well adapted to the
sandy and the muck soils of Ohio and
outyields any other early variety.
The Late Ccbbler, maturing about
two weeks later than the Irish Cob
bier, is a new variety from New York
which has been recommended by the
Experiment Station for 2 years. 1t
yields better than the Irish Cobbler
in northern Ohio and, therefore finds
2 place as an intermediate variety be-
tween the Irish Cobbler and the Rus
set Rural.

STATEWIDE "WIGHwAY
SAFETY PROGRAM PLANNED

Plans for a statewide highway
safety" program to be carried on by
the carriers private truck owners, and
motorists of the state are now being
perfected by the recently organized
and incorporated Carriers and Truck
mems Operative Association.
There are between $4,000 and co.
600 truck users of the states high
ways. All OF these operators are re-
qulred to carry heavy casualty insur-
ance both for their own and the pub
lie protection. 1t is this class of high
way users to whom the new associ-
alton is directing its campaign.
AS the result of several months ac-
tivities on the part of the association
Attorney Kenneth C. Davis and D. P.
Ave L'Allemant, safety engineer, with
the aid of B. K. Campbell, resident
manager of the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters
William A. Sullivan, state insurance
commissioner, is considering a merit
rating system in the state for safe
truck driving.
This system when ii becomes effec-
tive, calls for nine to ten months past
experience on the part of the truck
operators, after which, ratings will be
made as to carefulness in driving, with
resultant reward in the way of
premium reductions for those who
have earned them.
The plan is similar to that now in
force, by statute, in the state in
dustrial insurance where the employers
with small accident ratings are given
reductions in their basic assessment
rates, so that the firm with no acct
dents does not become penalized be-
cause of those of more careless oper-
ator.
The Carriers and Truckmen's AS
ISOLATION which is non-dues paying
organization, will set up safety bur-
eau and inspection system for its
members. An educational campaign
will be carried on among the oper-
ators in accident prevention, the whole
to be welded into a strong unit to re-
duce accidents on highways and make
them more safe.

program" said Mr.. Davis, at the Car

GET READY FOR SCHOOL

Approximately 3O,0O0O0O children,
ranging from near-gra duates to
undergraduates, will converge on our
streets and highways this September,
all approaching central points. Through
the summer they have been scattered
throughout the length and breadth of
the land; now they are to be mobi-
LIKED, crossing our city thoroughfares
or country lanes in long lines going to
school or coming home.
1t is the solemn duty of every motor
list to see to it that these youngsters
have a safe passage. BY following a
few simple rules, he can help cut down
the toll of 3,40O children killed and
152,55O injured in 1882. Every motor
list should remember to approach a
school zone with care; to slow down
at all intersections; to watch his speed
on curves in the country. Above all,
he should look out for the unexpected

their thinking for them.

States, is the brightest picture in the

AS far as an expression of the will
of the people is concerned the 18th
amendment is repealed, There is little
doubt in the minds Of the most opti-

The next political fight will be be-

Apparently no one favors the open
