Self-vulcanizing tape marking for street crosswalks, designed to cling tightly to the surface of the street and outwear the ordinary painted lines in use at many intersections in the Capi- tal, is being tested out along with the new metal discs and painted lines at the Traffic Bureau's “crosswalk labora- tory” at Fourteenth street and Pennsyl- vania avenue. The new tape, when installed, resem- bles the painted white lines, can be laid in a few minutes with practically no attendant hindrance to traffic flow and, it is indicated at the Traffic Bureau, may be adopted as standard crosswalk marking if its wear at the test corner comes up to expectations. ‘The tape has been supplied the Traf- fic Bureau by a Rochester, N. Y., manu- facturer for testing. Estimated $106 Cheaper. ‘The Traffic Bureau points out that the cost of the metal discs with which many crosswalks have been more or less permanently marked is approxi- mately $156 for an intersection against about $50 for the tape markers. The painted lines are much cheaper than either of the more permanent markings, but, it is stated, require much more at- tendance, replacement and, when the final cost is computed, are not really very much cheaper. All three methods of marking are be- ing tried out, however, at the intersec- tion of Fourteenth street and Penn- sylvania avenue, under the nstant attention of the Trafic Bureau. The tape also is being tested at one cross- walk at Nineteenth street and Pennsyl- vania avenue. ‘The tape is made of cotton, the un- der side of which is covered with a com- pound designed to constantly vulcanize itself to the street surface through the friction of the tires passing over it. Its makers claim it is not affected by water and will not “creep” out of po- sition as have other forms of tape test- ed out by the Traffic Burcau. _— TIE-UP OF NEW YORK HARBOR THREATENED Five Thousand Marine Workers to Vote Sunday—Wage Increases gemnnded. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 2.—Capt. Wil- liam A. Maher, general manager and secretary of the Association of Marine Workers, announced yesterday 5,000 marine workers in New York Har- bor would vote Sunday to strike next week. Captains, mates, pilot. oilers, firemen, deck han floatment working on 55 lighters owned by independent fieet op- erators are members of the association. A strike by the organization would mean that ocean liners, freighters and coastwise vessels could not be towed from Quarantine or docked at New York piers and that hundreds of scows, including those handling the city's garbage, would be tied up. The workers’ contract with the Em- ployers’ Association of the New York ‘Towboat Exchange expired yesterday and $25 a month wage increase for all hands will be demanded. engineers, cooks and tugs and HENRY FORD' CRITICIZED. Feminine Leader Protests View of Woman'’s Place in Life. LANSING, Mich., October 2 (#)— Henry Ford's ideas about women were attacked by Mrs. Lillian Gilbreth of New York, industrial engineer, in an address before the annual convention of the Michigan Federation of Women'’s Clubs here last night. Mrs. Gilbreth charged Mr. Ford with “turning his back on women when he tells us our place is in the home.” She stated, on the other hand, that the automobile manufacturer had, by con- tributing greatly to the modern ma- chine age, made it possible for women to spend more time away from home. City Changes Its Name, OSLO (N.AN.A.)—From the begin- ning of next year the city of Trondhjem will be known as Nidaros. In making this change the Norwegian Parliament has turned back the pages of history and given the city its original name. Nidaros was founded in 995 by Olaf, the King who introduced Christianity by the sword. In his “Sage of King Olaf” Longfel- low used the later German name Drontheim, but the poet obviously could not rhyme “Nidaros” with the farmers who came ready to confront him.” that | “with their war weapons' OVERWEIGHT How worrled is the modern skate, who is informed that overweight is fatal every time; that with his teeth he digs his grave, that he must shun what he may crave, that eating is a crime. He is a stranger to all mirth; he's always measuring his girth, and weighing on a scale; and if he finds he’s gained a pound since last he made the wheels go round, he feels himself grow pale. Some folks are preaching right aloog that eating wholesome grub is wrong, all men should live on hay; the fat men listen to their rede, and dodge the grub on which they'd feed, and weigh, and weigh, and weigh. I know a thousand weary wights who have forsworn the sane delights that well cooked victuals yield; no more on luscious ples they browse, but emulate the grass-fed cows in yonder pasture fleld. No doubt this modern scheme is wise, no doubt full many a fellow dies from eating too much cake; the doctors know just where they stand, with science rules at their command; their dictum is no fake. But while with other fans I graze, I think about the good old days, when diets were unknown; man ate the things he liked the best, immured the pies within his vest, and made no grevious groan. When he confessed to painful ills, the doctor gave him pea-green pllls, and did not say, “My friend you'll have to live on shedded slaw and Swedish turnips eaten raw, or meet un- timely end.” And while the old, old ways were wrong, the people seemed to live as long as people live today; no steaming viands were denied, they took the things the gods provide, and they were blithe and gay.
