WORK BEGINS j ON 145-kILE
 ALASKA ROAD
Ike Taylor Hopes 10 Have Palmer Richardson Link
 Open in Fall of t042

A final location survey for the 145-mile Palmer Richardson high way road is now being made, Chie1 Engineer Ike P. Taylor of the Alaska Road Commission said today on his return to Juneau after purchasing equipment for the big construction project and for other commission work in Alaska.
 Construction work on the new highway link, longest to be built in Alaska since the Steese Highway will begin as soon as weather con- ditions permit. The commission will try to have the highway open for use by the fall of 1942, Taylor said.
 A $1,000,000 appropriation for the highway was included in de- ficiency bill signed by President Roosevelt April and the money is now available.
 The highway will connect the An chorage road system east of Palmer with the Richardson Highway sys- tenn at approximately mile 1l6 be- tween Copper Center and Gulkana. The new road will be 24 feet wide at the crown of the grade and will be surfaced with gravel.
 Work will be carried on from both ends of the highway under direction of Alaska Road Commission District Office Supervisors at Valdez and Anchorage. Taylor and Assistant Chief Engineer Hawley Sterling will be on the scene part of the time.
 Considerable difficulty in obtain ing delivery of necessary equipment is being experienced due to defense demands throughout the nation, Taylor said, but some priority on delivery will be afforded the project as it is on the national defense list.
 Equipment operators and other workmen will be hired at Anchorage and Valdez. Insofar as practicable, the local labor supply will be ex- hausted before calls are made for workers from Outside, Taylor said.

l thought into his own construction plans. His car is a Derby winner
 New Lines Devised
 Yet the next Year another boy takes candid look at the winning car. He sees it's angles, blunt nose, and square tail Why he says, "a little stream lining and that car would be speedier yet" So he in troduces modern airflow lines to Derby racing.
 Literally, Soap Box Derby racing meant competition between drivers riding in home made cars con- structed of soap box, four wheels, and a steering device. Today, no car that gets to the national finals to be held this year at Akron, Ohio, August l7-is so crudely con- structed. Each is a model of thoughtful, informed, intelligent planning.
 Each year has seen the develop ment of new construction details. Improved streaming, more positive steering, and new springing designs have appeared. New braking sys- tems have been evolved and much attention has been given to proper weight distribution. Each car indicates that hours of care full planning and ingenious con- struction lie behind it.
 Yet at no time has any rule proposed either by Chevrolet or the Derby National Rules Committee, composed of technical experts, or dered any boy to study streamlin- ing or wind resistance The rules that now appear relative to those topics have been the outgrowth of experimentation and evolution on the part of the builders them selves.
 Paper "ShelP Discovered
 Some drivers have found that compressed paper makes an ideal covering or "shell' for their race cars. That discovery was an out growth of individual experiment. ing. Others have arrived in Ak ron with cars of unusual design, including one with built-in wind shield, through which the driver psered between his knees. One re- cent winner has admittedly pat termed on a cigar, which the young builder studied as it lay on his fathers smoking stand Another

 Grammar

TOPEKA, April l2.-It's the job of Walter G. Pyle to learn why school children miss classes. So he called at Topeka home and asked why the son hadn't been in school.
 He's been building me a chicken coop" explained the mother.
 Don't you know he can't do that?" said Pyle.
 "Oh, he can't can't he?" com- mented the mother indignantly. well he's sure done it and if you don't believe me just go round to the back yard and see for your self!'

In many sports, rules make tho game. In Soap Box Derby racing however, the converse has beer the case. Literally, the game ha! made the rules.
 When the Derby was first con- ceived in 1883 by Myron E. Scott photographic editor of the Dayton Ohio, Daily News, the idea was simply to give boys an opportunity to organize the sport they had evolved and were already enjoying in haphazard fashion. Even for the first local race held in Dayton un- der the sponsorship of the Daily News, rules were more or less in tangible.
 The foliowing year, when Chev- rolet Motor Division accepted CO., sponsorship with leading news papers from coast to coast, a loose ly-draWn set of rules was submit ted, with the idea that uniform rules from city to city would make for a fairer race This proved to be the case, naturally, and na- tional rule book was adopted.
 Rules Follow Trends
 Today, this rule book is far cry from the original. Yet the reg ulations and bylaws of Derby rac- ing have never been included in this manual in order to restrict Derby builders in any way. Rather, they have followed the advancing trends of Derby construction, a.s youthful builders themselves have evolved them.
 Just as the early typewriter, add ing machine, or motor car looks crude and ungainly when compared with its modern successor, so do the first Derby cars seem rough finished ancestors of the modern racing cars.
 Yet this gradual evolution toward smart. streamlined speedsters has come about not because any man made rules specified such improve ment. but simply because ingeni- ous boys, building each year upon the foundations laid the years be- fore, have annually devised sleek CT, speedier racers.
 Studying the winning car of a preceding year, a Derby builder may discover a method of weight distribution that will make fol greater speed. He incorporates this

was perfect tear drop" modelled along lines suggested by wind- tunnel tests. Of interest in this connection is an anecdote related by Tommy Fisher, builder of the winning car in the l940 race. His car was patterned precisely after his older brothers which represent ed Detroit at Akron the previous year but failed to weather the semi-final heats. The only differ ence lay in a new steering ar engagement designed by Tommy and the improvement in steering alone was enough to clinch the title for the younger boy. Thus profiting by his older brothers ex- periences, young Fisher determined his individually conceived improve ments in his own car, and in the process produced a winner.
 Perhaps the best tribute that can be paid to the newspapermen and others who play role in the for mutation of the Derby rules iy that they have always encouraged initiative on the part of the in dividual boy-builder, but have al- ways tried to allow for sufficient flexibility to encourage novelty and ingenuity in Derby designs. And American boys have never let them down
