The safety and convenience of road users la the main reason for cutting corners, but the earing in road building costs usually more than offsets the value of the land, according to a bulletin from the Minnesota state highway de partment A curve with a 200-foot radius makes the road 89 feet shorter than If It were built to a square corner. The extra land needed is leas than half an acre* and may cost from $26 to $100. The saving on an ordinary grading and graveling Job will usually pay for the land, and If the road Is to be paved, shortening the distance 86 feet Will save about $430, several times as much as the cost of the land. Similar or greater savings may be effected by the relocation of longer stretches of road. If the distance can be Shortened a mile by relocation be fore a road Is. to be paved, there will be a saving of about $30,000. This will pay for several miles of new right of way and grading. Using the old- road while building and paving a new one may also save thousands of dollars In detour main tenance. Where It is necessary to re shape and gravel a side road for use as a detour, the expense may run up to $2,600 or $3,600 per mile. If the regular road can be used while the permanent trunk highway Is being built on new location, a large part of this detour expense can be saved. Elimination of railroad grade cross ings is another factor _ which often cause relocation of a road before It is permanently Improved. Since the state took over the trunk highway system, 233 grade crossings have been eliminated by relocation of the road. On Trunk Highway No. 1, alone, be tween the Twin Cities and Duluth, 18 crossings have been eliminated by this method. On this road there is 38.3 miles of new location, between White Bear and Carlton. The most important factor, how ever, is the saving to road users. Re ducing the distance between two towns a mile or two may mean noth ing to people driving for pleasure, but the proportion of vehicles used for business is constantly Increasing, and each mile saved to them means from 6 cents a mile on a light passenger car to 25 cents on a big truck or bus. On a road which carries 2,000 vehicles a day, if only 1,000 are traveling on business, and if we figure only Che minimum saving of 5 cents per mile, shortening the distance one mile will mean an aggregate saving of $50 per day or $18,250 in a year. Automobiles and Trucks Yield More Read Funds Due to the unexpected productivity of the motor vehicle and gasoline taxes, the state highway department this year will have about $2,000,000 available for new construction above 1 the original estimate for 1926, when the law was passed by the legislature In 1925, says the St Paul Pioneer Press. The gasoline tax is yielding about $2,500,000 for each cent per gal lon, Instead of only $2,000,000; the li cense fees will run close to $10,000,000 Instead of $9,-150,000. The highway fund thus comes to about $15,000,000, exclusive of federal aid and new con struction will amount to about $9,500, 000 instead of only $7,800,000. This gratifying result has been made possible because more gasoline was consumed and more automobiles put into use than had been antici pated, which Is as much dt to say, be cause there was more need for good roads. Automobile and truck owners, with the fund on its present basis, are paying for the roads they use, and there la accordingly a certain corre spondence between the demands they make on the highway department and the fnads which it has on hand to meet the demand.

That wars the Puritan period of Japa nese history and the shoguns decided that women on the stage corrupted the country’s morals. The prohibition re sulted in the -development of a re markable group of men who Imperson ated women. During the centuries this art was so richly developed that today it is difficult for one to believe that some of the actors are not women. Secrets at the art have been handed down from father to son. Great Imperson ators who had no sons adopted ca pable boys and trained them from childhood. The greatest living male “actresses" are Baiko and Utayemon, both more than seventy years old.
