STATES ROADS
Preferred
Less Than 1-3 of Cars Leave
State In Year - Lower
Than Other States.

Minnesota motorists travel less out
side the state than car owners In
most other states, according to road
use studies made by the Highway
Planning Surveys in this and other
states, summarized in an article in
Public Roads, published by the Fed
eral Public Roads Administration
Only 31.2 per cent of Minnesota pas
senger cars make one or more trips
out of the state in a year. compared
to a 42.8 per cent average in So states
so far reported. Only 4.3 per cent OF
the total miles travelled by Minnesota
cars were outside the state, COM
pared to TT per cent for the average
state. The percentage of trucks going
outside the state was 76 for Mime
sofa and 14O for the average state.
Only 2.5 per cent of the total miles
travelled by Minnesota trucks were
outside the state, compared to SIS per
cent for the average state.
Nearby states all had more cars
going outside the state than Mime
soto. Illinois had 56.6 per cent; South
Dakota sos; Iowa, 43.9; Wisconsin
40.4: Nebraska, 1913; North Dakota
$40; Michigan, 34.7. Michigan's low
out-of-state travel is ascribed to It's
Great Lakes boundaries and to rec
reational facilities which make it m-
necessary for its residents to drive out
of the state for recreation.

And so Dick, with conflicting feel
ings, goes modify down to the beach,
snaps at his little brother until the
latter is almost in tears, and Is
grouchy and unpleasant at dinner
afterwards. All in all, the course Of

to come over and play paper dolls

enough difference in their ages so that
one is unable to keep up, either from

of interest in things beyond his capa-

comradely affection, resentment and
feelings of dislike for one another.

probable greater happiness of both

nearly always has to act as nursemaio
for Jimmie, isn't 1t likely that he
will in his irritation at not being able
to forget him for a single moment
treat him in such way as to make
Jimmie sometimes feel apologize and
miserable? If mother expects Helen
always to take Louisa with her, the
| likelihood is that more and more she
will be left out of the groups that dc
not want younger girl hanging
around listening to their conversation
without sympathy or appreciation
Also, the older child has too many
chances to boss, the younger one toe
little chance to test his abilities al
his own level. He is always trying to
do something that is beyond him.
