Highway Safety Device
Warns of Curve Danger

When Douglas L. Stemple, Green
ough, Mont, was snowbound in a
mountain cabin for three weeks, he
had a lot of time to think about a
near-accident he had on highway
curve.
AS a result, the nations highways
may be made safer by means of a
signal system to warn motorists OF
approaching cars on blind curves
which he invented during his en-
forced idleness.
The device, which works much like
a railroad block signal, is receiving
experimental tests by the Montana
highway department on Mcdonald
pass, west of Helena.
D. A. McKinnon, Montana state
highway engineer, has described
Stemple's invention as IAN impor-
tant contribution to highway safety"
The signal system works like this:
A thin rubber hose is placed across
the highway well back from the blind
curve. When an automobile passes
over II, a red warning signal flashes
at the other end Of the curve, warm
ing other motorists that another ma
chine is approaching.
It is estimated the devices would
cost about 500 each. Highway Of
ficials said they also could be used
on hills.

New Orleans Air Conditioning

New Orleans, city built on wood
pilings, may cave in on itself while
trying to keep cool, according to
Charles Evan Fowler, a widely
known building expert and consult
ing engineer. Shallow wells in the
business district are constantly
pumped for air-cooling purposes,
Fowler said. He added that this
eventually will lower the water ia
BILE under the city's area and cause
wood pilings, which serve as sup
port for some of the largest build
ings, to rot. Already one large build
ing has had to be underpinned be-
cause Of sinking! Fowler, author of
some 80 books on engineering, made
a survey across Lake Pontchartrain
for a proposed 24-mile causeway. He
issued designs for reinforced con-
crete pilings of four, eight, and IL
vanes, the last having an increased
geometrical ratio of FRACTIONAL pow
er over the first. Increased fric-
tional power, Fowler explained,
means increased supporting power.

Ragweed Is Valuable
In. Tobacco Growing

i; In the early days Of this country
planters soon found that tobacco
grown on virgin soil produced larger
yields of finer-textured leaf than that
grown on older cultivated plots.
Thus, to meet market demands,
early settlers and their successors
cleared forested areas until in time
all the good land had been planted
to tobacco.
As farming science developed, to-
bacco growers tried crop rotation,
and used manures and fertilizers in
an effort to maintain yield and
quality. These practices did not
prove satisfactory on all soils and
with all crop combinations.
In recent years, scientists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture discovered that tobacco grown
after natural weed fallow and re-
ceiving the right kind of CONNER
cial fertilizer apparently possesses
those characteristics observed in the
early days when the crop was grown
on virgin, land. The fact that tobac-
CO planted after a bare fallow shows
a rapid decrease in yield and quality
demonstrates that the cover Of spon-
taneous growth is the answer to the
problem rather than simply allow
ing the land to remain idle.
Tests completed recently by the
department scientists show that GER
tain weeds are more desirable than
others as fallow. It may not be
good news to persons susceptible to
hay fever, but ragweed is one of
the weed species showing the best
results. Horseweed is another. On
the other hand, tobacco following
lambs quarter showed some reduc.
ton in yield over bare fallow.

COPY OF CHECK FOR ALASKA AT FAIRBANKS

From time to time, the state ment is made that the amoun the United States paid to Russi; for Alaska was not actually S7, l 100000 as stipulated in tht treaty of purchase. Some of tht stories about the price given fol the Territory is that paymen was made in two checks, ano that one of these went to busi. ness interests in this country, tC which Russia was indebted, in stead of to Russia directly; also that while the amount mention ed in the treaty of purchase was S7,20O,000 only about five million was actually paid by the Ameri- can government.
 In the possession of the federal government at Washington is the original check, cancelled that was given Russia by the United Stat es. It is for $7,200,000.
