MACHINE FOR
MAKING ROADS

A painting machine, capable of
marking around thirty miles of high
way per day, has been placed in SER
vice by the State Roads Commission.
The machine was designed and con-
structed in the Southern Avenue shops
of the Commission in Baltimore.
First tests of the new device in
Southern Maryland have been highly
satisfactory, according to State roads
engineers. Replacing a laborious and
expensive hand operation in the paint
ing of centerlines, it is expected that
it will prove boom to motorists on
highways all over the State. Because
of the narrowness and crookedness of
many of the States main arteries,
they are difficult to follow at night,
and particularly in fog, without CEN
terlines-.
The line-painter is mounted on a
small truck. 1t has three paint tanks
of 55-gallon capacity each-one for
white, one for yellow and one for
black paint. Selection of colors can
be made instantaneously. Three
pumps control the flow of paint to
nozzles, which spread the paint uni
formly as to the thickness and width.
Prior to the painting of road,
daubs of paint are placed along the
center at 15-foot intervals. The driv-
er of the machine keeps a set Of sights
focused on these spots and thus is
able to steer a true course. Com
pensation is made in the sights fol-
running true center-line around cur
YES.
After a few changes to be made in
the design of the paint pumps, the
line-painter will go into service over
the State. A number Of roads al
ready have been marked out for paint
eve believe the addition Of line
painting machine of our own inven'
ton to the equipment list will ado
greatly to safety on our highways
said a statement of the State Roads
Commission, issued this week. "Be
sides eliminating a slow and danger
Gus operation of hand painting thu
lines, the machine multiplies the line
age many times.
"Most of Maryland's primary road
are old, with dark and uneven sur
faces. At night and in conditions o
rain and fog it is often difficult TO
motorists to follow them. Center
lines help greatly under such con
ditions, and it is planned to folio,
the most dangerous stretches of high
way for first operations"

PRINCESS ANNE CITIZENS
STRICKEN ON THE STREET

Two men were stricken, in the
streets of Princess Anne when Mr..
Charles Young and Thomas Parsons
were suddenly overcome and fell to
the sidewalk, unconscious. The men
were stricken within one block of
each other.
Mr.. Charles Young, former Princess
Anne policeman, subject to attacks,
fell to the sidewalk in front Of the
city fire house. AS yet it has not
been determined whether he was the
victim of a stroke or an attack OF
apoplexy. He is confined to his bed
and for while his speech was i'm
paired by the shock.
On the same day Mr.. Thomas S
Parsons meter reader for the Mary.
land Light & Power Company, was
the victim of a fainting spell which
rendered him unconscious in front Of
the old city electric light plant. Mr.
Parsons was rushed to the doctor
where he received treatment for cut
on his forehead which he sustained
when he fell to the sidewalk. His
condition was pronounced by the ply
stefan as not being serious, he is, how
ever, confined to his bed where he
will be forced to remain for a few
days.

down in the warm sunshine, than one
of those wood pecking birds came a.
long and began pecking on a near by
tree. About that time two robins
pitched just in front of me- They be-
gan singing their wild songs, and
momentarily spoiled my plans:
My eyes went rowing from object
to object, to the faded leaves on the
ground, to those still clinging on the
trees; 1 began observing the differ
ent kinds of timber which were, pine,
gum, oak, maple. Then, got glimpses
of the blue sky as gazed from be-
meath the tree limbs, which made me
think of pictures I had seen some
where. Finally, went to sleep.
When I awakened there were five
birds, singing and hopping on the
tree branches. The sunny spot where
had lain down had become a chill
ly, shady place; the sun had almost
set behind the distant trees.
A large ant attracted my attention,
running from leaf to leaf at my side
watched his maneuvers for some
minutes, before I started saunterine
out of the woods. With both hands
showed down deeply into my pockets.
1 strolled leisurely along enjoying the
scenery, and the semi-quietness OF
the place.
The, environment of the woods may
not offer complete isolation from aud
IDLE sounds, but it does contain a
peaceful atmosphere restful to tired
or weary minds and it offers an ideal
consolation to folks who like to get
away from the crowd now and then
to really think a problem through.
With my problems solved, return
ed home in fine mood and high spir-
it.
