A more extensive application of in- formation and direction signs and traffic control markers to the state roads 1s also recommended. In reference to engineering and con- struction policy the committee recom- mends that the department “discon- tinue the policy of calling for bids ex- clusively on cement concrete pave- ment to such an extent as has been the practice where othcr comparable standard high-class types would fit the situation equally as well.” “In cases where detours will result in_great hardship to the traveling public,” says the report, “the pave- ments’ should be constructed for half the width at a time where practicable, and the traffic allowed to use the other half of the roadway. “A more rigld policy should be adopted with respect to olling only half sections of a road at a time. This work should be done in such a manner that one side of the road will always be sufficiently dry so that it will not damage the paint on vehicles trayeling at & normal rate of speed. { Continental A Corn Products Cosden & Co.

ENING STAR, WASHINGTO ISTOCKS STILLKEEP | BOND PRICES WEAK Today’s Two-Hour Session Sees But Few Changes. " Austrian Loan Firm. . BY GEORGE T. HUGHES, Dispateh to The Star. ¥ YORK, June 30.—The bond market during the two hours of trading today presented much the same characteristics which have been evident the last half of the week. High-grade securities were steady, Lut not very active, and speculative ruils fluctuated in.sympathy with stocks. TRere was not much change among the forelgn issues, the new Avstrian loan was firm after the weakness shown on Wednesday and the Mexican bonds held the gains 1ecorded when it was announced that the deposit of bonds would be called for as of July 9. Stocks Wenken Honds. The market for the entire week has hee er the spell of the cpecu- lative mood. No attention has buen ipaid to earnings and very little to the outlook for money rates. For the most part the tendency has been toward lower levels, reflecting the uncertainty which found its orlgin in the sharp decline in stocks. There aleo has been some selling by spec- ulators who needed money to replen- ish imperiled margin accounts and Ly others, especially evident in rail- road bonds, who were informed by the swme fears that brought about the selling of ra‘lroad stocks. The resuit is that second-grade and semi-speculative railroad bonds of the type of St. Louis and San Francisco adjustment 6s, Erle prior lien 4s and Baltimore and Ohio convertible 418 were selling at the end of the week on a yleld basis entirely out of line with the financial improvement of the raliroads in general and of these roads In particular. The Baltimore and Ohio issue, for Instance, is sell- ing on a 7% per cent basis, notwith- standing that the road reported net { income for the first six months of the | year, June partly estimated, cquiva- | lent to an annual rate of 1.6 per cent | for the common stock. Forelgn bonds have suffered in the same way. It Is true that the foreign situation, especially the outlook for un early settlement between France and Germany, is no better, but it is very doubtful if these things influenced the decline in the quotations for foreign ues dealt in on this market. It was rather the spreading of specu- lative timidity. The outstanding ex- ception was the new Austrian 7s. New Issues Total $S2,000,000. In the mid week United States gov- ligations were subject to ure, and the tax exempt 3%s made a lew low for the year, but this tendency was reversed yes- terday and today, and at the same time there was a noticeable firmness in the very high-grade rails and in- ! dustrials.

W Perry, general manager of the auto- motive department. These tests, announced Mr. Perry, revealed why it is possible for a car to skid on a perfectly dry paveme It was found that locked wheels slide along asphalt on a film of soft rul ber, melted from the tread of the tir: by frictional heat. In such cases, was found, the car will travel farthe before stopping than when the brakes are so adjusted and applied by th: operator that they cannot lock t wheels, “In_the interest of greater safety sald Mr. Perry, “car owners shoull see to It that their brakes are morc frequently inspected; certainly no le than once & month, or, better, evers 500 miles. A simple road test, more- over, can be made by determining within what distances a car can bo stopped at various speeds. When this has been determined, with an: particular car, a liberal margin of safety should be added for actual con- ditions_of service. “It should be remembered that the abllity to stop a car is sreatly in- fluenced by the condition of the road surface. When roads are very wet as in heavy rainstorms, there Is less tendency for a car to skid than when the roads are partially dried or in what is known as a ‘greasy state’ Should a car start to skid when ap plying the brakes, it is usually due to the wheels locking. “A dangerous skidding can usua be quickly stopped if a driver ha presence of mind to release the # brakes and apply them a second time with less force. This gives the wheels_a chance to agaln grip the road. If the road Is very elippery, as on an icy road with light snow ou the surface, best resuylts are obtained by slowing the car carefully with the engine and helping with the brake. Lightly loaded cars, as with the driver only, are more difficult to stop than loaded ones. “With these points in mind a driver can quickly learn the ‘tricks’ but above ail, do not have too much con~ fidence in your ability, as ‘it is better to be safe than sorry.’” / b / d 514,000 Canadian Registration.
