HIGHWAY BOARD TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS (Prapand r tha Pnltacl Statu Dapartmant ol Airtcultura.) Tentative agreement on the form and color of warning and directional signs to mark the principal Interstate roads of the country was reached by the Joint board of Interstate highways In session held at Washington. High-ways to be marked as Intel-stat- e roads, for which the name United States high-ways has been proposed, will be se-lected after a series of regional meet-ings of members of the board with highway offlcluls of groups of states. As the membership of the board Is made up of state and federal officials In charge of highways and Is repre-sentative of the departments In con-trol of the state roads of all states, It la anticipated that the recommenda-tions of the board will be translated Into definite action within a . few months. The routes selected as United States highways will be numbered and marked uniformly In all states with s standard marker. All state highway departments will be asked to submit proposals for the design of the mark-er. The design tentatively proposed by the hoard consists of a United States shield with a white background bearing In black letters "U. S.", the number of the route In large numer-als, and the name of the state In which the marker Is erected. Differences which now exist between the warning and danger signs In use by the various states will also be elim-inated when the recommendations of the board are adopted, at least so far as the Interstate roads are concerned. Tentative proposals adopted at the flrst meeting of the board call for the adoption of a standard round sign for marking all railroad crossings: an oc-tagonal sign to Indicate danger or Btop ; a diamond-shape- d sign for caution or slow; a square sign to Indicate "look" or attention; and a rectangular shape for directional or Informational signs. Colors tentatively adopted for signs are yellow for warn-ing and danger signs and white for dlrectlonnl and Informational signs, In-cluding the route markers. Letter-ing on both classes of signs will be in black. For luminous or reflecting signs the colors tentatively selected are red for danger, yellow for caution and green to Indicate "go." - Standardization of the slr.es of all signs and the lettering on them will be referred to a subcommittee or tne board. All recommendations of the board with regard to the shape, slue and color of signs will be submitted to the highway departments of all states for consideration before the final adoption by the board. Eliminate Guesswork in Construction of Roads With the determination to have the best roads that . Its funds will build and to see that Its roads are con-structed In accordance with specifica-tions the North Carolina highway de-partment, with the help of its chem-ist, R. L. Oberholser, has advanced the science of road construction to the point where all guesswork haa been eliminated as to uniform density in pavement construction. Even when the materials are mixed according to specifications and the sur-face looks good, the mixture which has gone Into the road may fall through lack of proper compression. Mr. Oberholser meets this situation by In-sisting upon dally density tests of the finished pavement. From each road project In the state the chemical laboratory of the state highway department at Raleigh re-ceives dally a piece of the pavement drilled from the day's lay. If the lab-oratory test reveals that the workmen have been lax and there Is Insufficient density, the work on the project un-der Investigation Is stopped Immedl- - ately. Poor construction cannot con-tinue on any road longer than 24 hours. After the cause of the trouble Is ascertained the work proceeds. If necessary the stretch of roadway showing insufficient density Is torn up and relald. The tests sometimes save, It Is estimated, as much as $12,000 a mile later In road repairs. As a result of methods such as these North Caro-lina now has some of the best bltn mlnous motor roads In the world. Trucks Speed Road Work While the motor bus and the motor truck accentuate the demand for Im-proved highways. It Is also true that the motor truck makes rapid road building possible and materially cuts down the cost of such construction. The old Roman paved roads were built at the rate of about a mile In 14 months, while today a mile of, paved road Is laid In 14 days or better. Improvement of Roads In our country, the Issue of good roads has passed the point of contro-versy. Our roads now have not only the dimensions of great length, but also the dimensions of greater width for traffic, and of greater thickness to hear the heavier loads. - The public Is now on wheels and wherever the question of good road? Is raised we find the public decisively expressing Itself In favor of steadr development. Kill All Flies! "BASS-- ' kill! all Im.

W PROPER AMOUNT 1 j OF AIR IN TIRE ' 1 ; I Amount Is Determined by I Experts Whose Judgment j . Should Rule. ' ' J In the course of tire development, I tire experiments have proven that I among the most important factors in ' I the proper treatment of tires is the ad- - Just ment of the ratio between the air i pressure of the tires and the load to ! I be carried. The engineers have made I long and comprehensive studies of the ' ' I proper amount of air to be used with 1 certain loads. The life of the tires is "1 actually lengthened nd the service given Is Improved If these observa- - t tkms of ' the engineers are regarded. - -- Overloading Fault, t Overloading Is a' common fault, and ' I the disregard for careful adjustment ! of air pressure in the tires causes all , I sorts of tire troubles which are not J attributable to the construction of the .1 tire but to their use. The engineers I nnd chemists are at work constantly Improving the materials from which tires are made nnd the machinery for r tlicir production, but all of the prin-- . ; ciplos back of the construction of the . tire are based on maintaining an air commensurate with the load - pressure to be carried and the design of the tire. If the loads are Increased, the air I" pressure must be made to conform, otherwise there is an Insufficient amount of air In the tires for the load carried and this produces which causes an unnat- - il wear on the tires. If the load Is too light for- - the air pressure car-ried there is not the resiliency or i buovaney to the tires that there should be. This Is particularly true of balloon tires. In which the varia-tion of the air pressure Is a matter to . be carefully attended. ( ' f Good Treatment. tM Tires, like the motor of the onto-- I mobile, respond to good treatment, and ,f the good motorist is the one who will ' ;J heed the best advice as to the care of f the engine. He will use his antomo- - , , bile for years and the engine will uc- - - I tually improve in his hands, while In J the hands of the poor motorist the en- - 5 ' nine will develop a multitude of trou- - ,'f Lies. So it is with tires. Proper care ac-- r tually will give maximum mileage. Con- - , ,j sidering that the tires carry the load "1 1 of the car and th contents, as well , as protecting the whole mechanism of the car against the road blows, there . . V are no more important elements In " the operation of the car than proper I tire adjustment, Inflation and load. C i Farm Efficiency Is t Increased by Truck There are many angles from which farmers can view the mo-- tor truck, says the Michigan X Fanner. It is apparent, how- - J ever, that In the greiit majority J of Instances the truck has in- - J creased farm efficiency. It has J shortened and cheapened the J transportation of many farm J products from the field to the J ctty. It frequently makes pos- - J slble for farmers to take advan- - j I tage of variations in demand for certain products at different markets. It speeds up the de-- 1 X livery of perishables, so giving J distributors a longer period in f which to market. It simplifies J delivery by eliminating trans- - J fers, currying goods all the way J to the receiver. f In taking a long view of our fanning business the opportunl- - t ties afforded by the truck should have the thoughtful consldera-- . tlon of every operative farmer. Kather than endure condescension, most people will stay outside the Cir-cle where it is practiced. In typing single labels, particularly those of email size, a label clip that snaps on the platen of a typewriter is convenient. , WorW's Oldest Forest A hundred million years ago many millions of years before man himself appeared on the earth, there grew a forest near what Is now Gilhoa, N. Y. Dr. John M. Clarke, New York state geologist and paleontologist, pro-nounced this grove the oldest known forest. He has resurrected It from the remains in the rooks, and he finds these ancient trees to have been much like modern tree ferns, probably at-taining heights of 50 feet or more.

The idea wttB advanced at a commercial travel-ers' banquet recently held nt Welling-ton In honor of the All Blocks Ilugby team. It was suggested that as the footballers had carried the fern leaf triumphantly around the world the New Zealand government should adopt the fern leaf as an emblem to be stamped on all exports from that country.

The most common mistake Is pinching the tube. The tube is Inserted in an uneven 01 twisted manner. This causes it U overlap or wrinkle, with the result that In a short time It will cut through where it lias been overlapped and pro-duce a leak. The same trouble is also caused sometimes by putting a new tube into the tire Just as it is taker from the box. When the tube Is applied - after mounting, there is such an inrush of air that It will often buckle up th. tubes, thereby forcing a tiny sectlot beneath the head spreader. EspeciallJ will this occur If the valve tem Is not pulled out to Its proper position The operator should proceed slowl.i when applying the tube. Before pu. ting It Into the casing It should be -- shots" of air, then given a couple of It should be applied carefully, the side on which the stem oc-cursalways being kept inside. When it Is In the casing it should be "talced" carefully and the fingers forced all around the tire to make sure that the talc has been evenly distributed, and then, before the looss bead is applied the tire should b air enough to given a little more round It out nicely and prevent plncb-- " j Watch Your Water Pump : I to Prevent Motor Heat 5 I Of the 16 reasons for motor heating, i. .' f perhaps one of the most obscure and f; I least thought of is the small pip that !' I holds the paddie wheel on the water pump to the shaft. This Is a frequent f 1 reason for engine overheating, and be-- !' j cause of its very ohsenreness, is one f I of the reasons for this series of j 1 articles. fY' As everyone knows, the water pump r. j is attached to the water pump shaft. 1 Within this pump Is a paddle wheel I I that assists In circulating the water ' I from the radiator entirely through t... t'l water passage system. A small steel If pin holds this paddle wheel fust to the I I pump, and many times, after some II , months of usage, this pin becomes II worn or rusted, and shears off as fj smoothly as if cut by a knife. The -- I pump at once becomes Inoperative, the fj water docs not circulate and the ter-- rifle heat, of the engine soon boils f away the water that remains In the f radiator. Here again the heat indl- - cator on your car Immediately tells J the story, as the vapor temperature of f the boiling water in the radiator will j warn the motorist, through this Instru-- I ment, that be must Investigate at once.
