Here are some figures worth studying. They almost stagger the imagination. How would you like to exchange the economic conditions in the United States today for those in Soviet Russia? And yet the communists have the hardihood to tell us that the government in Russia is a government for the masses. And dont forget that the fact that the cost of corirrjodilies in 1926 was below the 1921 level is a direct contradiction to the assertions of the free tariff was traders who told us in 1921 that the of distress the and cause cost increase to living among the congoing sumers in the United States. 1 1 n - Fordney-McCumb- Bryan Memorial Temple Dedicated In the last twenty years woman place for a tired psycol- -' has progressed forty years accordspend his vacation in a ing to a statement in a prominent womans magazine.

Why should the state highway guide posts in Oregon be white, while they .are yellow in California? Why should the stop signs for through highways in Oregon be yellow, and stop signs put up by the same highway department for a railroad crossing, white? Why saould not all dc.ngcr signals on highways be of one color? Why pass innumerable laws, ordinances and rules to confuse drivers, and then expect to reduce accidents? Accident prevention is equally important in all parts of the country. Then why not have uniform signals and regulations, Most automobile traffic .'regulation, up to date is childs play compared with the simple but effecti ve sijJials which govern all the railroads in the country.

CHILDS PLAY REGULATION OF AUTOMOBILES The state of California is warring against glaring and illegal headlights, following a period of prosecution and of careless drivers. The example of California can be followed throughout the country with better results than are obtained from state legislatures debating on the advisability of adopting compulsory automobile liability insurance laws as a means of protecting the public. Enforcing our present laws will assure greater safety to pedestrians and drivers than will the passage, of more laws to relieve careless automobile drivers of financial responsibility for their own reckless acts. If state legislatures want to pass, new laws, why not establish uniform traffic rules and signals in evxjry town and state throughout the country. At the present time no two sets 'of road signs or signals are alike in different cities. As an example, take Portland, Oregon. Certain streets will have yellow stop signs ac.d posts near the curbing. Then, without warning, a driver will come to a sign in the pavement which Nine chances to one he will never see it becaus he says stop. will be looking for the yellow signal at the side of the street. On other streets he will find an autom atic electric signal with red, green and yellow lights located at the sir le of the street. At another intersection he will, without any warning, come upon an electric signal suspended some 25 feet from gr ound in the center of the intersection, Under such conditions a di ivers attention is constantly diverted from traffic before him in an effort to find the traffic signals, and thereby obey the law. Similar confused conditions exist in most Harold Crandall, D. D. S. ERICKSON & ERICKSON er Public Roads," published by the United States Bureau of Public Roads, in its September issue contains a remarkably fine report on roads in Oregon and California which have been treated with light asphaltic oil. In both these states, hundreds of miles of gravel and macadam roads have been built to connect with the paved highway systems. The traffic on many of these roads is extremely heavy, and the prob lem has been how to save the rock, from being thrown to the sides of the road or being blown away in dust. Conclusions reached in the report are that any road in the states investigated, which has justified improvement with fine crushed rock or gravel surface, warrants the additional expense of a light oil treatment except possibly in rare instances of isolation, extraordinarily cheap material supply, or' low service requirements. The treatment of oil not only effects a saving of the road material, but saves wear and tear on automobiles and preserves farm crops along the highway which are destroyed by dust. The report will be of interest to many states which have similar conditions to those found in Oregon and California. PETERSON, E. V. JOHNSON, Asst.
