STOP AT PREFERENTIAL HIGHWAYS REQUIRED BY NEW TRAFFIC CODE ..jj 1 k>'- > ■•'- Traffic must stop before entering preferential highways or streets, designated as such by the State Highway Commission in the case of state highways or by local authorities in the case of city streets and county roads, T. A. Dicus, chairman of the Commission, reported today in discussing the new Indiana traffic code which became effective July 1. The new code provides that the State Highway Commission designate through or preferential highways and erect “stop” signs at the entrances to. such routes. These signs are erected facing the road or street from, which all traffic must stop before entering upon or crossing the prefer-

ential route. Authority to designate through o r preferential streets and roads, other than state highways, is given to city and county officials. Previous laws made state highways preferential routes over all intersecting roads and streets but since traffic conditions change and in some instances the convenient and safe movement of traffic requires that traffic on intersecting streets and roads be given the preference, the State Highway Commission has revised its regulations. A new resolution, establishing preference at every intersection on a state highway, has been prepared. Approximately twenty per cent of all accidents on the state highway system occur at intersections and a large part of these are due to the failure of motorists to observe the “stop” signs. Obedience to these signs will prevent many serious accidents. In some cases present “stop” signs on roads or streets intersecting state highways will be moved to comply with the new law which provides that the sign be placed as near as practical to the property line of the highway at which the stop is to be made. The letters “S,” “T,” “0” and “P” are to be at least six inches in height, the standard size now used on official state highway “stop” signs.

MORE WONDER GLASS Within a few weeks after the announcement of a new “rubber glass” by the Franklin Institute, the development of still anotner amazing glass product is reported from Corning, N. ¥., where the great mirror for the 200-inch Palomar telescope was cast. The newest marvel is a glass which shrinks, and which can be heated red-hot and immediately plunged into ice water wVho’ut breaking. Those familiar with tbe Possibilities of the new rhethod of manufacture; say it will rank with the most remarkable glass developments in history. While a description of the process would be rather technical for the layman to understand, in sutstance it represents a removal cf a part of the materials after the glass plate or vessel, has been molded in the usual manner. This is accomplished by a series of treatments which leave the glass honeycombed through the removal of about 35 per cent of its original mass. Placed in the oven £gain, the glass shrinks to about 65 percent of its former volume. On completion of the final treatment with heat, the glass is practically 96 per cent pure silica. It may be then subjected to the most extreme changes of heat and cold without damage. The commercial advantage of the new product is that it is for all practical purposes equal to fused quartz, yet can be produced ai i price within the reach of the ordinary customer.

POULTRY FLOCK SHOULD BE CULLED THIS MONTH “This is the time of the year when it is most desirable to cull and also easiest to detect the poor layers in a poultry flocx which has received good feed and n>anagement,” says Scott Hinners, Purdue extension poultryman. “With egg prices below normal this year, it is extremely important to maintain a high average In the laying flock. Continuous culling and elimination of poor producing hens as they go out of production during the eariy summer months are necessary for more efficient egg production. ’ The average poultry raiser can profit by culling the flock when the profit goes below 40 eggs per 100 hens a day. Proper and good management are absolutely essential to obtain high egg production, therefore give the birds a chance, before culling, according to Hinners. The extent to which the flock should be culled will depend upon the number of good pullets in the growing flock, Hinners explains. When there is a large subply of thrifty growing pullets the present laying flock may be culled more severely. According to several hundred farm poultry flock records studied by the Fur-

due Poultry Department about’ two-thirds of the laying flock Is usually replaced each year. “A good layer is healthy anJ vigorous. She has a red, well developed comb and a large moist vent. When she stops laying her comb, becomes withered and covered with a whitish scale and the vent becomes small, dry and puexery. “The condition of the abdominal region changes according to the intensity of present *?gg production. A high producer has soft pliable skin. The pelvic bones are flexible and spread far apart, usually a distance of about three finger s in width. The distance between the pelvic bones and keel bone will range from about three to five fingers. The bones some closer together and hard fat begins to accumulate in this region when the hen stops laying,” spates Hinners.
