MORE SERVICE to Distant Points T HE work of extending and improving long div tance telephone service in the Southeastern States will continue this year. The program calls for an expenditure of more than $4,000,O^Xj. Present long distance facilities in this section will be aug mented by the construction of 11,385 miles of new circuit, including 134 new direct circuits. Many long distance users are expressing surprise at the speed with which toll calls are completed. New operating methods, now in effect throughout the territory, make it possible to establish long dis tance connection at an averege time ot 2.7 minutes. Incidentally, the quality of voice transmission is $lso perfect in 97 per cent ot all toll calls. These new circuits and improvements have been planned to care tor the increasing volume of lomg distance business and to provide facilities lor high speed service to additional points.

D ESPITE the increase In the use of white painted guard rails, whitewashed traffic indicators of one sort or another and more elab orate danger signals, automobile acci dents are steadily growing more nu merous, automobBe associations point out in reviewing the summer’s casual ties. The next great important step to re duce the number of accidents will be the elimination of dust, in the opinion of those associations. Dust, in spite of the greater mileage of concrete rd^ds, is causing many ac cidents. a condition due tn part to the constantly growing highway conges- tlon. —7 High winds and passing cars raise dust clouds that have been compared with the smoke screens of naval de stroyers. Through that screen the average motorist must guess his way and trust to luck that no one is di rectly In his path, the automobilists assert. _ In some sections of the country, where motorists have been able to con vince officials of the perils in dust- covered highways, the authorities are applying chemicals to the road sur face, particularly calcium chloride, a moisture-absorbing material that fays the dust. The prevention of dust is unquestionabljuu large factor in any safety first campaign. Mrs. Charles Read Banks, of Plain- that the remedy has worked so well field, N.

The same gasoline was used in all cars. The use of “Standard” Motor OH showed increases of from 7 to 11% in the number of miles per gallon of gasoline. This is because “Standard” Motor Oil forms the best seal between piston and cylinder wall, thus in suring a more perfect combustion and a more powerful piston stroke. More power means more miles per gallon of gasoline. * ©
