A SCUBA,
Roadside Marts Do Big Business.
Roadside markets have done a
roaring business during this touring
season and a conservative estimate
places at $100,000,000 the produce
that motorists will buy direct from
the farmers in 1927.
This estimate is based on reports
from road cars of the A. A. A, and
from many of the individual clubs of
the National Motor federation. Re-
ports disclose that while roadside
marketing has received more inten-
sive development in some States than
in others, the growth of the move-
ment is essentially on a national scale.
“This is an aspect of the national
business created by motoring that is
assuming major importance,” Thom-
as P. Henry, president of the Amer-
ican Automobile association declared.
“At the present rate of growth it
should become a half-billion-dollar
business within a few years.”
Mr. Henry called attention to the
fact that in order for the farmer and
his cash customers, the motorists from
the city, to reap the full benefit from
the facilities afforded by the roadside
market, certain abuses had to be elim-
inated. He said:
“The farmers, as far as our reports
indicate, deal honestly with their
clients, and it is not their fault if
dishonest traders from the city rent
corners at country crossroads and sell
to unsuspecting motorists produce
purchased in city markets, and at
much higher prices than that produce
could command in the city. This is
still going on, but it can easily be
eliminated if all the States follow
the example of States such as New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and others, in which roadside market-
ing associations have been set up.
These organizations will not only in-
crease business, but they will be able
to eliminate the dishonest trader.”
The A. A. A. executive believes that
roadside trading has done much in
the past few years to modify the lin-
gering antagonism of the farmers to-
ward the city motorists. There is
still, however, he says, room for im-
provement in their relations.
Automobile Manners.
It has ‘frequently been remarked
that automobiles were ruining the
manners of the American people, but
perhaps some of them who are show-
ing discourtesy did not have any to
ruin.
However it is amazing how differ-
ently some people will behave when
they get behind a steering wheel. If
these same people came to a party
or dance, and if they pushed their way
down the center of the room, jost-
ling everyone in the way and perhaps
knocking some of them down, tread-
ing on people’s toes, and making peo-
ple jump to avoid them they would
be considered the roughest kind of
boors. .
But these people will do the same
thing in a crowded street, and the
public is so used to it that no one pays
much attention to them. And not
merely do they make themselves ill
mannered, but they cause many ser-
ious accidents.
It seems strange that some people
who are ordinarily decent enough, will
yet act in such a coarse and arrogant
way when they get into an automo-
bile. They seem to think ‘hat it is
the duty of everyone to wait for them
and get out of their way. If they
blow their horns, they consider that
they have done everything necessary.
But some people become so confused
by the many cars on the road and the
constanth hornblowing, that they get
in the path of a car coming fast from
some unexpected direction, and then
there may be an accident.
The law is doing what it can to
punish violations of the rules of the
road, but something also needs to be
done in the way of instructing such
people who must he shown that if they
want to he considered gentlemen. thev
must behave like that type of charaer-
ter when they are driving cars. While
women usually drive more courteous-
ly, even some of them may need such
instruction.
Riding on Street Cars Aid to Health
as Energy is Absorbed by Body.
For a2 long time electrical engi-
neers have known of a constant loss
in transmitting electricity, remarks
the Pennsylvania Public Service In-
formation Committee. It has been
noted that the loss is greater in heavi-
ly loaded street cars. International-
ly famous scientists now claim that
this electrical loss is absorbed by the
human body, and is a great health
producer, according to the American
Electric Railways Association.
Instead of going to the beauty par-
lor for electrical treatments, ladies
will find great benefits from riding in
street cars, according to the associa-
tion. It has been noted that men
who work around electrical generat-
ing plants are rarely sick. The men
working on electric street cars have
a high health record. All of which
tends to substantiate the theory ad-
vanced by scientists, the Association
asserts.
Advertising Signs are Under Ban in
Minnesota.
The Minnesota law prohibiting plac-
ing of advertising signs of all kinds
on the right-of-way of streets and
highways, is attracting attention in
other States. Recently the Minneso-
ta highway department received a let-
ter from a woman in Oklahoma ask-
ing for a copy of the law, to be used
in an attempt to obtain similar legis-
lation in that State. She states that
the candidate for Governor of the
dominant party has refused to permit
placing campaign posters on fences
and telephone poles and she believes
he will favor a similar law.
. Denies Rings
ce snakes.
The old theory that the age of a
rattlesnake can be accurately told by
the number of rings on its rattle is
incorrect, according to Howard P.
Seese, forest ranger in the Sproul
State forest. Seese has made a study
of the dangerous reptiles.
In blasting the theory of the snake's
age he declares that instead of gain-
ing one ring each year the rattle gains
from two to four.
The forest ranger declares that a
snake seldom has more than 10 rings
on its rattle because after they attain
that length the vibration is such that
they drop off and are lost.
“The idea that a rattlesnake can-
not give its warning after swimming
or crawling through wet grass is in-
correct,” Seese declared.
“Investigation has shown,” he said,
“that a young rattlesnake is provid-
ed with a single button at birth. With-
in a few days it sheds its skin and
commences feeding. In two months
it sheds its skin for the second time
and then the first ring of the rattle
is uncovered, or added. This has been
growing under the old skin as its pre-
sence was apparent in the swollen ap-
pearance of the tail at the base of the
original button. The last seven or
eight vertebrae fuse together shortly
after birth and form a composite bone
known as the shaker and it is around
this bone that each cap or ring of the
rattle forms.”
Seese said that all snakes have the
habit of shedding their skins one or
more times each year. When the skin
is abandoned it comes off in a single
piece of very thin and transparent
material, generally turned inside out.
During his six years in the Sproul
forest Seese has saved all of the rat-
tles from snakes he has killed and
row has a chain more than seven feet
in length.

Snakes Do Not Jump.
The popular notion that snakes can
spring from the ground when attack-
ing is erroneous; no snake can leap
entirely from the ground. It is said
that a few of the most active species
are able to leap from limb to limb in
trees, but ncne of them can swing
upward to a higher limb. The Bio-
logical Survey says respecting the
length of a snake’s stroke:
“The idea that a venomous snake
can strike its full length or even a
greater distance is another popular
but erroneous belief. When a snake
strikes from its usual S-shape curved
position, the anterior half of the body,
which is thrown forward, must be
free from coil. In striking the snake
simply straightens out the S-shaped
curves. It does not have to be in this
position to strike, for observation has
shown that when irritated, most of
our poisonous snakes can strike from
almost any position for short dis-
tances. The greatest length of stroke
is about three-fourths the length of
the snake.”
American Legion Passes 700,000 in
Membership.
With the receipt of 800 new mem-
bership cards from the Pennsylvania
department of the American Legion,
the national organization passed the
700,000 mark in membership, Howard
P. Savage, national commander an-
nounced. This is more than 499,000
above the membership at this time
last year and nearly 4,000 more than
the total for 1926.—Ex.
