To Put Beads
On Highway

A new type of center-stripe will
be installed this spring on Pacific
highway from Olympia to Van
couver, utilizing glass beads to
reflect headlights and make the
stripe more visible, the state high
way department reported today.
Purchasing Agent II. d. Van
Eaton yesterday at Olympia
opened bids for 52.645 gallons of
white and yellow highway mark
ing paint. 3,5l5 gallons of thinner
and 1920 pounds of glass beads
for use on the stretch south of
Olympia. The paint and thinner
will be used on other highways
all over the state for center
stripping.
Carl Fritts, highway department
safety engineer, said an expert
mental stretch south of Olympia
had been used the past year to
try out the glass bead center stripe
idea. The beads act as tiny re-
Electors in the cars headlights and
make the stripe more visible in
