It was not until 1927 that the
Highway department reported to
the Legislature the embarkation
upon an effort to keep trunk roads
open in winter. 1t added the now
strange-sounding observation that
winter maintenance included not
only efforts to break through
drifts, but "in many cases blading
snow onto the roadway in order
that the bare spots might provide
proper sleighing."
Today the public demands not
only that the trunk highways be
virtually swept free of snow, but
that when an ice coating occurs,
the roads be sanded in the inter-
est of safety and convenience.
It was only a few years ago
that the Highway department be-
gan sanding a few of the most
dangerous curves and hills when
ice coated the surfaces. The ex-
pertinent worked entirely too well,
with the result that the public
now demands sanding of hundreds
of miles of straight-of-way.
Without denying the value to
public convenience of such sand
ing operations. Highway officials
are striving to strike a balance be-
tween public convenience and
waste. For every $4,000 applied
to the highways in the form Of
sand, which washes away with the
first thaw and does not add one
dollars worth of benefit to per-
manent highway surfaces, is $780,
900 less of highway funds avail
able for use in highway improve
ments,

OPEN ROADS, SANDING
EAT DEEPER EACH YEAR
INTO HIGHWAY FUNDS

'Thar's gold in that thar sand
boys"
These words might mean more
than the hope of periodic Mime
sofa prospectors. They might also
serve to express a warning of M.
j. Hoffman,, state highway COM
missioner, and Charles L. Mott,
chief maintenance engineer, that
transportation progress is reach
ing deeper and deeper into the
pocketbook of the maintenance
division of the Minnesota Highway
department.
This fact has been brought home
to the public in pointed fashion
during the last two weeks by the
most far-flung, intense, and con-
tinued highway ice condition in the
history of the department, and the
sand, with which the department is
attempting to alleviate this ice
condition. is costing money-at the
rate of about $4,000 every time
the $500 miles of hard-surfaced
roads are sanded for public safety
and convenience.
That is where the gold comes in.
Now as to the price of progress
Only a few years ago, motorists
seldom attempted to use either
automobiles or trucks in winter
months. Today virtually every
community, urban or rural, de-
ponds upon motor vehicles and
upon highways 365 days a year
for the delivery Of supplies and
the marketing of products.
AS late as 1928, the late Charles
M. Babcock, as advanced in high
way methods as any of his con-
temporaries in the United States,
reported to the legislature that
since no funds for the purpose
were specifically provided It
soon became evident that the state
could not engage in a general or
extensive campaign of snow re-
moval work" Today, even a ten
hour snow blockade in commun-
tiles affected disrupts business
threatens public health, and car
ries grave potentialMies.

Gem of Gems Name Given
Precious Ruby by Hindus

''Gem Of gems" is the name given
to the ruby by he Hindus, who
prize 1t above all other precious
stones. It is said to bring to its
wearer health, wealth. wisdom and
happiness, and is the emblem Of
true love. It has been said that he
who possesses flawless ruby dwells
without fear in the midst Of his enc
mics. The ruby is spoken Of in the
'Lapidaire en- Vers," where it is
called the most precious Of the IL
stones God created, when He Gre
ated all creatures:
THE ruby, called the lord Of
gems, the highly priced. the dearly
loved ruby, so fair with its gay col
or" BY the Lords command the
ruby was placed on Aaron's neck.
The many talismanic virtues Of
the ruby are noted in the Fourteenth
century treatise on gems attributed
to Sir John Manderville. Here the
fortunate owner Of brilliant ruby
is assured that he will live in peace
and concord with all men, that neith-
er his land nor his rank will be
taken from him, and that he will be
preserved from all perils.

Quoits of Iron or Rope

Regular quoits are circles Of iron
rounded on top and fiat on bottom.
About 81 inches in diameter, they
weigh nine pounds apiece. Circles
Of heavy rope are sometimes SUBJ
stituted for iron bands. The game
quoits is the "step-son" Of discus
throwing. 1t was originated by camp
followers Of Greek soldiers who, be-
ing poor, couldn't afford to buy dis
cuses. Instead. they picked up
horseshoes and bent them into cir
cles. Lazy players didn't bother to
bend their shoes, pitched them "as
is" In the game Of quoits, two pegs
are placed 10 to "a yards apart. The
player stands near one peg, tries
to throw his quot on top Of or near
the other peg. He usually gets two
points for ringer" one point for
being closest to the peg.

Bible Facts

All book-lovers read the Bible for
the beautiful, dignified English it
contains, If for no deeper reason.
Men who have made a very careful
analysis of the Bible say that it con-
tains 3,566, 480 letters, $40, 697 words,
81, ITS verses, 1,l89 chapters, and 66
books. The word land" occurs no
fewer than 46, 627 times and the word
Lord" 1883 times. Those who or
der their lives by the Bible could
not choose a better set Of practical
instructions. The Book Of Proverbs
contains the sanest advice on behav-
ior ever given to man. In the ear
lier books there are rules for eating
and drinking, for sowing crops and
the maintenance Of bodily health.
Historically, 1t is accurate; it con-
tains a comprehensive list Of the
fora and fauna Of Palestine and the
surrounding countries, their mer-
chandise and mineral products.

MINNESOTA IS AT TOP
IN LOWERING HIGHWAY
DEATHS LAST 5 YEARS

In the face of an increase in
miles travelled by motor vehicles,
Minnesota reduced it's traffic death
total in 1888, although at first
glance several states in it's class
appear to have better accidents
records if the years decrease fig
ures are taken alone. However, a
survey of traffic fatality totals in
the Minnesota Highway depart
ment files for the past five years
places Minnesota in the top
flight" in traffic safety. During
that period it's traffic death rate
has consistently been considerably
under the national average.
An examination of safety re-
cords discloses that, while some
states had a greater percentage
Of decrease in traffic fatalities in
1888, it was because their death
rate in 1887 was so much higher
than Minnesota's fatality rate,
according to w. F. Rosenwald,
traffic engineer of the Minnesota
Highway department. In the mai
ority Of instances those with a
greater decrease from 1887 to 1889
still have higher death rate than
Minnesota's.
Comparing 1888 with 1894, traf-
fic fatalities in the state have
decreased 3.5 percent in number
despite 26.5 percent increase In
motor vehicle travel. Based on gas
consumption the death rate dec
lined 23.4 percent for the five year
period-a mark few states can
boast.
A three year review of the
statistics show that in 1886, $40
persons died on the streets and
highways Of the state, q rate Of
1879 persons for each 10 million
gallons Of gas consumed; in 1887,
$50 persisted, a rate Of 1873 persons
for each 10 million gallons, Of gas;
while in 1889 official figures reveal
that 619 were killed In traffic
smashes for a rate Of IL persons
for each 10 million gallons Of gas
oline burned.
In short, Minnesota had a "head
start" on the majority Of states in
traffic safety-and, according to
Mr.. Rosenwald, intends to keep in
the van in that field II it receives
the continue vital aid Of the var
ious safety groups and the driv-
Ing and walking public.

S11,5OO,OOO COST OF STATE
TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN 1888

In cold cash, $11, SOC, 900, or an
amount equivalent to the total gas
tax revenues of the State Highway
department, was the cost of re-
ported traffic accidents in Mimi
esota 1888. And to this vast sum
must be added an equally huge,
and less assessable, burden of suf-
fering, sadness and misery.
Roughly, 5000 accidents involv-
ing personal injury or property
damage costing $50 or more were
reported to the accident recording
unit of the Highway department.
The average property damage
cost of each accident was approx
mately $16O.
The records also reveal that the
5000 reported crashes resulted in
5000 injuries-in a number of
these accidents more than one
person was hurt. Insurance COM
pany figures over period of
years disclose that the average
cost of traffic injury is $500.
During the year 612 persons died
as the results of these accidents,
and the money value placed on a
human life, by law, is $4,000.
Minor and unreported accidents
would swell the 1888 accident cost
several more million dollars, in
the opinion of traffic experts.
M. J. Hoffman, Minnesota high
way commissioner, said that the
Highway department, determined
to lower the waste of life and
property on the roads Of the
state, will continue to build safety
into its trunk roads and to COM
bat accidents through traffic law
enforcement by the patrol, safety
education and high-type mainten-
ance.

Cologne Facts

Perhaps you know that the differ
ence between eau de cologne and
toilet water lies in the fact that
while the latter is simply a mild
rendition Of perfume, cologne is an
actual cooling agent. Fern, berga-
mot, orange blossom, lemon are
mixed with alcohol in cologne to
give that tingling sensation that
cools the skin much the same way
as menthol cools the palate. But
the really distinguished eau de CO.
logne has the added virtue Of con.
tanning plenty Of perfume essence
besides. to give it character.
