TO REMOVE ALL ADVERTISING SIGNS (Special to the Syracuse Journal.) Indianapolis, June 29.—Final preparations were completed today by the state highway commission for removing all adveitising signs off the right of way of all state roads. In pursuance to an order made by the commission several months ago which in effect said that all advertising signs must come down off the right of way of roads in the Indiana highway system by July 1, the commission is preparing to enforce the edict. Several crews will start from Indianapolis on July 1 and will , instructed to remove any advertising signs they may find on * thoroughfares within jurisdiction of the state road body. When the commission decided to remove advertising signs members voted to set the date far ahead in order persons who had invested heavily in such adver- — tising have sufficient time to recover their property. In most cases signs have already been .removed, according to advises reaching John D. Williams, highway director. Decision to remove advertisingsigns from state highways was reached after considerable deliberation by the commission. Many of the signs were at road intersections and frequently obstructed a clear view of the highway. Often a serious or even a fatal accident could be laid directly to a sign placed too far within the right of way, officials declare. In fact signs become so numerous, and were so congested around cross roads, turns, et cetera, that they became a menace to the traveling public. Their removal is merely an effort on the part of the commission to insure travelers on Indiana state roads the maximum of safety. The commission took the further stand that in this period of augmented automotive traffic people drive too swiftly to read signs, and that the time is past when merchants or firms should use highways for advertising purposes. Newspapers and other periodicals are the logical and sensible places for advertising, commission members say. ——io — A classified ad will sell it.

| HOUSEHOLD HINTS | Rusty knitting needles can be cleaned by rubbing them up and down in earth. Steam brown bread in a double boiler. It takes less room on the stove and less attention. If the sink, garbage pail or drainer is kept lined with newspaper it will be easier to clean. lodine stains may be removed by using peroxide. Apply several times until the stain is gone. Flour sacks when bleached make good every day pillow cases, or even bloomers and skirts for the kiddies. Do not neglect to darn or patch clothing every time a break is noticed. A garment will weai twice as long if properly cared for. Children’s pockets soon teai away because of the strain on the corners. To strengthen these corners, sew on each a button to match those used elsewhere on the garment. Save all wool goods, even partly worn, and make quilts. Those that cannot be used for quilts may be sewed like carpet rags and hooked or braided into rugs. When pancakes are sticky thex aren’t stiff enough. Pancakes made with buttermilk or sout milk must be quite stiff and those made with sweet milk and eggs should be very thin. Do not turn the house plants oftener than once in two weeks if you wish them to grow fast, is they always grow towards the light, and turning them is like resetting them, they have to take a new start. Novel Towel Rack When the dishes are done and tea towels and dish cloths are to dry, use a small umbrella frame, opened, hung on a hook above the kitchen range. When not in use the frame can be closed and hung up in a closet. It is especially useful in small apartments. One can use it for )ther drying also. It is nice to enamel the frame white. o PILGRIMS TO POLAND CHINA MECCA One thousand Poland China pilgrims, from several states in the Corn Belt, wended their ways to Blue Ball, Warren County, Ohio, last week where a granite monument was unveiled to memorialize the writing of the first pedigree. The picnic was held on the W. C. Hankinson farm, near the old log house in which the first pedigrees were worked out and Mrs. Hannah Hankinson, wife of the man who wrote them, unveiled the monument. An exact copy of the first pedigree and other valuable papers were sealed in the base of the shaft. The Bronze tablet on the shaft bore the following inscription: “The first pedigree of a Poland China hog was written on this farm in August 1876 by W. C. Hankinson, owner -of the farm and Carl Freigav, compiler of the original record. “This strictly American breed of swine originated within a radius of a few miles of this

I place and in the making occupied ! the period covered from 1816 to 1350. The first pedigree was ■ printed in 1878. This monument was erected by the Poland China , Breeders’ Association, and unveiled June 15, 1922.’’ ! The Poland China breed was ; not named for ten years after these first pedigrees were written, and from a few breeders with a small number of these "kind of hogs’’, the number of Poland China breeders now numbers thousands and Poland China swine are legion and are preeminently the Mortgage Lifter.” — o PURCHASED MACHINE FOR DRILLING'TORES (Special to the Syracuse Journal.) Indianapolis, July I.—A few months ago the Indiana state highway commission purchased a machine for drilling cores out of hard surface pavements. It cost $1,200, and its acquisition is to determine if concrete pavement is laid according to specifications, especially as to the designated thickness of slab. The first test was made in Lake county on a section of the Lincoln Highway, and 1200 feet of pavement rejected as not up to specifications. The contractor decided to give the inferior pavement to the state rather than tear it up and rebuild it, so approximately $6,000 was deducted from his contract price in the final settlement. Lately by the purchase of equipment costing $250 the core driller can be used for bridge foundation exploration. The driller cuts a core four inches in diameter out of solid rock, and when this core is tested in the commission’s laboratory, engineers seeking to locate a solid foundation beneath the earth s surface and frequently far below a river bed, know positively what strength the foundation will be which is to be used as a support for_lhe bridge crossing. This machine paid for itself many, many times in the short time it has been in use in this state, and it is one of the best investments the Indiana state road body ever made. Indiana is one of he early states to adopt the" core tester, and its advent into state road work was opposed by some people on the ground it was unfair to contractors. The commission takes the position that Hoosier roads and bridges must be according to specifications, and its use is with all fairness to taxpayers and contractors alike. The first place where the tester was used after being equipped for bridge work, was in Orange county near French Lick where the highway commission is building bridge across the famous Lost River. Here the tester took out cores from solid rock 23 feet below the surface of the water. The machine is now working on the east end of the National road where pavement is being laid on three contracts.

CONCRETE PAVEMENT LAID THIS SIMMER (Special to the Syracuse Journal.) Indianapolis, June 30. —Approximately six miles of finished concrete pavement laid this summer in three contract projects on the east end of the National road meet specifications of the state highway commission in every respect, according to tests made of cores drilled in the pavement and subjected to laboratory analysis, John D. Williams, highway director, announces. For the last week the core drilling machine—a part of the state highway equipment purchased to determine if hard surface pavements are laid true to specifications—has worked between Greenfield and Knightstown, Knightstown and Lewisville, and Lewisville and Dublin. Cores analyzed in the commission’s laboratory tell a true story ; of the quality and thickness of pavement. On the east end of the National ; road there is under contract for' approximately 27 miles of pave-; ment. To date some six miles, is completed and will be opened to traffic within a short time.! The total mileage under contract ’ in this section is divided into three contract projects and are to be completed and opened to, traffic by fall. Sections of the same roads : west of Indianapolis are also 1 under contract with the exception of a mile or so. According to Mr. Williams the National road across Indiana with the possible exception of a mile or so, will be completely paved by fall and will be in use as an all-year road by winter. This road crosses Indiana east and west between Terre Haute and Cambridge City. Illinois and Ohio have kept well up in paving this transcontinental road, and by the time Indiana completes paving her portion, tourists will find one continuous hard surface highway between Washington, D. C. and St. Louis, Mo. Cores removed from finished pavements are subjected to rigid laboratory tests which remove 1 any doubt as to the quality of I Slab. Regardless of how smooth and pleasing to the eye a finished pavement may appear at the time it is turned over to the commission, there is always a chance that through error the slab is not of designated thickness. A test by thl machine proves conclusively if the pavement is standard to specifications. This machine, highway officials say, will go further than any other single machine so far invented to prove to the public that state roads are built to plans.

IN DI AN A HAPPEN INGS Logansport.—-Again the meanest man is being sought. Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Richeson, living east of this city, planted four acres of land to watermelons early this spring. They took great pains in keeping the ground in condition for the proper growth of the plants, and they had fine prospects for a bumper crop. When they went to the patch one morning they found some one had entered the place in the night and hoed out practically every hill. The vandal apparently followed the rows through the field striking at every hill with a hoe. It is believed one person did the entire work and that at least four hours was required. It is estimated that the crop was worth SBO9. Indianapolis.—William F. Schilling of Redfield, Minn., in an address before the meeting of the Indiana Marketing Association, urged the adoption by Indiana dairymen of a co-operative marketing plan of disposing of their products. The plan, which provides for the organization of an association of the dairymen and the pooling of their dairy products tends to keep the prices low and the quality high, he declared. The co-operative marketing plan had been worked successfully in Minneapolis and St. Paul, according to the speaker. Kokomo.—A mother . and her daughter united after thirteen years, part of which time they lived within a few blocks of one another in Kokomo, having no knowledge of the identity or whereabouts of the other, is the remarkable story of Mrs. Frank Redmond and her daughter, Mrs. Blanche Lewis. o —_ Journal want-ads are invest ments that pay dividends.

WHY CALLED •WHITE HOUSE’’ The home of the President was named the “White House” after the home of Martha Washington in New Kent county, Virginia, in which her wedding Washington had many pleasant memories of that residence and he suggested the building of a "White House” for the Presidents. The house is constructed of Virginia freestone, which is excessively porous, and consequently would be very damp in the interior were it not for a thick coat of white lead, which is applied about once in ten years at great expense.
