HUM SCHOOLS
HIDE STUDY ‘VOLTMETER’
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12. (£>)—
Public school efficiency is now test
ed in Philadelphia just as a radio
hattery is tested with a voltmeter.
The voltmeter of the public schools
is a division of educational research
headed by Philip A. Boyer. It has
just completed a survey of the arith
metic course and found that, as Mr.
Boyer words It, “a lesson which con
cerns the measurements of a dress
on which a girl Is working, the meas
urements of the ingredients in a
cake, or something else concrete and
familiar, loses the monotony of one
which deals in text book figures and
unfamiliar situations”.

SKIDLESS RUBBER IS
SEEN AS PAVEMENT
OE NEAR FUTURE
MONTH’S EXPERIMENT IN LON
DON SAID TO HAVE WITH
STOOD SEVERE TEST
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 —
Streets and highways may be surfaced
in some future day with soundless,
durable rubber and the world’s high
way traffic allowed to proceed skid
lessly through rubber-to-rubber con
tact.
A matter of fact report to the Com
merce Department from a London
observer notes that a 700-yard area
of rubber pavement, laid for tests in
one of London’s heaviest traffic streets
has withstood one month of wear and
stress and dampness under English
winter conditions without showing any
signs of deterioration. A much long
er time of experimentation, however,
will be needed before the engineers
and experts reach conclusions.
American makers of hard surface
road materials need not be disturbed
by the prospects, however, because
the report adds that the rubber used
in the test merely supplements ordi
nary materials in making the road
way. The test street is paved with a
concrete foundation, headed over with
sand, and on the sand is laid rubber
topped brick, sealed with rubber ce
ment.

'MISS mcr FINDS
COMMERCIAL RETURNS
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12. (£>)— For
those who would know the commer
cial value of the title “Miss America”
during the reigning year, Miss Norma
Smallwood fixes the figure at $100,
000. The money may come to a
title holder from a wide variety of
sources, ranging from manufacturers
of articles used by women to motion
pictures. “When I was first named
‘Miss America” last year,” Miss
Smallwood said, “booking agents, to
say nothing of the advertizing men,
almost tormented me to death. They
represented manufacturers of hosiery,
all kinds of toilet articles, clothing
and numerous producers of shows
and motion pictures. Underclothes J
manufacturers led the list.”
Every indication points to the fact
that the local High School team will
journey over to Ancuorage on Thurs
day to display their wares against
the speedy Anchorage school five.
