PICTORIAL In
MAGAZINE FORM
MID WEEK NEWSPIcTURE
WEEKLY NOW UNDER
NEW OWNERSHIP

Mid-Week Pictorial, the News
picture Weekly, founded in 1914
by the New York Times, appeared
last week in new dress and formal
under the ownership of Monte
Bourjaily, formerly General Man.
ager of United Feature Syndicate.
Considerable interest has been
expressed in the past several
months in the idea of a newspic-
ture weekly. Publishing circles
have been hearing of plans for
news picture periodicals for
months. Mr.. Bourjaily is the first
to get into the field with such a
publication.
"The newspicture weekly is the
one remaining field which has not
been developed in this country"
said Mr.. Bourjaily. "Its develop
ment should repeat in the maya
zine field the success Of tabloid
newspapers in the daily newspa-
per field. The parallel may be
extended further when one cen
siders that tabloid newspapers
have found their own audiences
outside Of existing newspaper
leadership. In the same way we
expect to find our own audience"
In its first % years, Mid-W eek
Pictorial has been published as a
32-page rotogravure paper. Going
into a magazine now, it becomes
a 64-page book with colored COW
er.
Mid-Week Pictorial, the News
picture Weekly, was founded in
1914 by the New York Times to
present the World War in pic
lures. Now, at % years of age,
it comes under new ownership,
enters into a new phase.

$50 STATE SNOW
PLOWS NOW READY

Approximately $50 snow plowS
are ready for the annual task of
keeping Minnesota trunk highways
open to winter traffic, according to
N. w. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner.
The plows are distributed among
the 16 highway maintenance dis
tricts. The equipment consists of
ia power graders used in slush
and light snow; 95 one-way plows
which throw snow to one side of
the road only; 245 big Wee type
plows which throw snow to both
sides and can cope with heavy
SHOWS and drifts; II truck mounted
rotary blower plows for extreme
ly deep drifts.
The big v plows weigh more
than a ton each, and are attached
to three to five ton trucks. In sew
ere storms two such trucks work
coupled together in tandem while
bucking drifts. Two five-ton trucks
with a one-ton pillow in front are
capable of exertings terrific driving
force when launched into a drift.
During the past year a number
of three-ton trucks which had
worn out were replaced by four and
five-ton units to provide greater
power for battling snow on the H.
$40 miles of trunk highways, Mr..
Elsberg said.
AS a preventive of blocked roads,
the highway department has erect
ed more than 1000 miles of snow
fence at locations owhere drifting
occurs every winter The snow
fence causes the snow to form a
drift away from the highway, leav-
ing the roadway clear.
To combat the dangers of ice
coated roads, the highway depart
ment has placed 10000 cubic yards
of gravel and 100 tons of calcium
chloride in stockpiles at strategic
locations throughout the state.
From these piles highway trucks
spread the gravel over slippery
curves and hills to provide traction
for skidding tires. The chemical
keeps the piled gravel loose and
usuable and also helps it stick to
the roadway after spreading.
Last winter snow storms cost the
highway department more than
100000 in maintenance expense.

From reports that Paul Markson
sends from Idaho, where he is an
officer in a CCC camp located in
the upper neck of the State, it is
gathered that the next six months
are going to be long ones-with
nothing to do but work. Paul writes
that the camp is in an inaccessible
point, forty miles from the nearest
post office. There a small town of
a few hundred souls is found. Be-
cause the camp is nestled in a val
ley with the tall peaks of the
Rockies hemming them in, actual
sunlight is for only few hours. He
said that the sun shown on the
camp about a. M, and setting OF
the sun so far as they were con-
cerned was about 2:30.

Then there's the angle of fire
lines. Firemen can't be expected to
maintain them. Sunday morning
there were a number of children
getting too close to the operations.
A hose broken loose or some other
misstep might have meant injury
to one of them. It's up to the par
ents to see that they are kept away
from the working firemen. Or a
voluntary fire line will have to be
organized.
Figures are always interesting
From seven hose lines playing on
the blaze issued total of $50 gal
Ions of water every minute. Now
over a period of nearly three hours
a total water consumption of 1885,
900 gallons was dumped on that
blaze, before it was conquered. For
that reason the flames were kept
mostly within the building.
What would any tragedy be with
out it's comedy. When Jim Benson
noticed the smoke he was more
than willing to offer helping
hand. Across the street he dashed
with hand extinguisher under his
arm. Just as he reached the scene
the front door glass broke and
flames and smoke shot out into the
street. Jim decided his plan was a
little too inefficient.

aid instruction classes in all of the
departments 16 maintenance dis
tricts. Those who pass the final
examinations will receive certifi-
Gates showing they have successful
ly completed the regular Red

Because highway employees are
continually on the roads and often
are first at the scene of traffic ac-
cidents, Mr.. Elsberg believes that
they should be qualified to give
first aid in such emergencies, he
stated. Red Cross physicians assert
that in numerous cases accident vic

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
Cripples On The Highway
From Our Exchanges

Whenever we see crippled man
walking on the highways, our SYM
pathy goes out to him Immediately
Every one feels sorry for him be-
cause of the plight he is in, and
hopes that he will get along in his
present condition as we'll as posi-
BILE.
How many cripples, however, in
the form of automobiles are on the
highways? Who pities and sympa-
thizes with them? If, by sight, we
could have some way of determin-
ing this condition, indignation
would rise high because of the ter
rible defects most automobiles
have.
Would it surprise you that from
tests made of the mechanical con-
dition of cars in several states,
three out of four vehicles register
ed are dangerous because of some
defect in safety equipment? That is
a fact.
Tests show that brakes in 33 per
cent of the cars are in need of re-
placement or repairs, and that
lamps need to be replaced or ad-
justed in nearly 70 per cent. Tires
are either poor or in only fair con-
dition in about 4s per cent.
These are the cripples that
should be taken off the highways.
-Royalton Banner.
Presidential Polls are Somewhat
Confusing
The various presidential polls
with which the country has been af-
flicted during the past few months
are decidedly confusing and leave
the public as much in the dark as
ever. Some polls favor Roosevelt
while some favor Landon.
The Literary Digest poll which
in the past has been very reliable,
so far favors Landon by a rather
wide margin, but for some reason
or other is not given the credence
it deserves this year as in the past.
It is said this poll has failed to
reach the relief workers in the big
cities and if it did the results would
be altogether different. This would
indicate that the Roosevelt leaders
are depending a good deal upon
the relief vote, Notwithstanding the
fact that politics is not supposed to
enter into relief administration.
Republicans are rather well
pleased at the prospects, however,
and the Landon leaders are freely
predicting success. - Sherburne
County Star-News.
We're glad that Martin A. Mel
son, Republican gubernatorial can
didate, has voiced his objections to
a sales tax. There is only one logi-
cal way to meet the expenditures
of the state government, and that
is by careful budgeting and cutting
out all unnecessary expenses. Some
of our candidates to the legislature
are strong for a sales tax. What
they need is a little education
