jgnate highways within the states.
Federal "U. S." markers will be continued, transcending state
lines and often extending from border to border, like the familiar
[. S. 21, U. S. 81, u. S. Al, and so on; or from coast to coast as
U. S. 80, U. S. 40, U. S. so, and the like.
WHERE NEW NUMBERS APPEARING new interstate
numbers now are seen mainly on tolways and turnpikes, and are
generally consistent with the older U. S. series, since odd num-
bers run generally north and south, while the even numbers are
reserved for east-west routes.
1t could happen that on short snatches of pavement, particu-
larly near cities, a motorist could find four different markers
on each post, but this does not mean that the systems are not
coordinated.
William G. Eliot of the United States Bureau of Public Roads.
Department of Agriculture, recently revealed to the annual
Traffic Engineering conference at the University of Illinois that
since 1856 the American Association of State Highway Officials
has had a committee working with state and federal authorities.
In fact, the first details were drafted in 1889 for the vast sys-
tenn of interstate highways which will link 80 per cent OF the
cities in the nation of $1,000 population or more, without a stop
light or stop sign! 1t remained for the 1856 recession to spur
launching of this greatest of all public works programs in the
nations history.
SO MILLION DRIvERs-since autos first appeared, motor
vehicles have increased to 68 million, with 81 million licensed
drivers. There are three million miles of roads and 300, 900 miles
of streets. 1t is estimated that autos and trucks this year will
travel 700 billion miles over these roads at a
total cost of SIS billion. Higher Speed
Since recent studies show that less accidents ~. r..-t
occur on highways with prevailing speeds of IS WY "'
to 20 miles an hour, highway planners believe Auto Deaths!
that the shocking toll of auto deaths, now total
ling one and one-third million lives since the invention of the
automobile and the more than three million serious injuries, will
be greatly curtaned.
On a test strip of highway near Washington, D. c., federal
and state traffic engineers have determined that green is the
best background color for signs; that upper and lower case let
ters are the most readable. and that signs have to be bigger
and ever better.
Soon it will be squarely up to the average motorist to show
that he can both read and follow three or four systems of num-
bered road markings.

PANAMA POLICY SPLIT

The Department OF DefenSe IS
opposed to concessions that the
State Department would like to
make to Panama, according to
Pentagon sources.
They said the Defense Depart
ment was opposed to any modifi-
cation of the present practice IN
der which United States agencies
purchase in the cheapest world
market merchandise for resale in
the Canal Zone. The department,
it is understood, is also opposed to
allowing the Panamanian flag to
fly beside the United States flag
in the zone.

BIO PLAN TRIMMED

The BIO heaVy-bOmber pro-
gram, on which a half-billion dol
lars has been spent. has been
practically eliminated by the Air
Force.
Instead of going ahead with
plans to build the big bomber as
a replacement for the present B-62,
the Air Force said that it was 60
ing to turn out only one or two
test models of the BIO, which is
designed to fly about 1000 miles
an hour. A desire to cut defense
costs and the development of in
tercontinental ballistic missiles
were seen as major causes of the
Air Forces decision.

Don't Demand Promises
Youngster Can't Keep

tot to sit in a chair unamused
for 20 minutes as punishment,
many parents will require him
to promise not to repeat the
offense before he may get down
at the end of the named time.
I wish parents would not ask
a child whom they have pun
ished or rebuked to promise not
to repeat the offense. A better
way is to make the punishment
so certain, so consistent and so
effective, that the child will
choose not to repeat that Of
Tense.
In Our Absence
We parents are tempted to
make a child promise to do or
not do some things in our abb
sence. How easy it can be for
him to break such a promise
when we are not with him to
check with our own eyes and
ears. We would be wise If we.
did not press the child to make
such promises.
However, on rare occasions,
it might be well to say that
hope he will or will not do
so and so. Even this could dull
effectiveness if said too often.

BY GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.

WE WANT our children tt
strive very hard to make good
any promise they make. But
we weaken their efforts by
exacting promises we know
they can't easily keep.
You and I have heard a
parent make a three-year-old
promise not to break or lose
an object before it was given
to him. When the object was
broken or lost the parent may
have rebuked or punished him.
Had To. Promise .
In the first place, the young
ster knew he had to make the
promise in order to get the
object. Even though his inten-
tons were good, he hardly had
sufficient experience to make
this promise good.
The child, six, eight or IL,
who is begging for a pet will
promise solemnly to care for it.
Then, after receiving the pet,
he will neglect it a few days
later.
Musical Instrument
There's the ten or 13-year-
old who promises to practice a
musical instrument If it will be
bought for him, only to neglect
the practice before long.
We should know enough not
to base our decisions on prom
ises that are so hard to keep.
If we decide to buy the pet or
the musical instrument, let's
not expect a promise but see
to it that the child later meas
ures up to the responsibility
involved. >

When the truck races at 40 m phi, it's Look at those reckless
fools"
When four me struggle with an eight-man ladder: "They don't
even know how to raise a ladder"
When fiemen open windows for ventilation to reduce heat in
fighting a fire. Look at the wrecking crew"
When they open the floor to get at the blaze: There goes the axe
squad"
If the chief stands back where he can zee and direct his men,
people say: Hes afraid to go where he sends his men"
II they lose a building: TITS a lousy department"
If they make a good stop" folks say: 1.-THE fire didn't amount to
much"
If lots of water is necessary: "They are doing more damage with
water than the flames"
If fire nal gets hurt: "He WI a careless guy"

If fireman inspects a citizens property: Hes meddling in some

If he wants a fire hazard correction: "TH see the mayor"
