And one out of every two thinks that a down pay ment of 25 per cent or more is ad visable. These are some of the things that the committee on trends of the Unit ed States Savings and Loan league has learned from a questionnaire on public attitudes. Surveys were made of the attitudes of people se lected at random, including 5 per cent factory workers, 7 per cent proprietors of businesses, 20 per cent housewives, 16 per cent profes sional workers and 12 per cent sales men and miscellaneously employed others. The eastern seaboard, a middle western metropolis and the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast area were scenes of the questionnaire. Results of the last six years em phasis by government agencies on the monthly repayment home mort gage, which is a century-old heri tage from the savings and loan in stitutions, show prominently in the survey. Nine out of every 10 per- • ions would prefer an amortized mortgage in financing their homes, j The league committee points out that before the depression only those who were borrowing money from the , thrift and home financing institu- | tions—about one-third of all the mortgagors—were making steady payments to reduce their debt on the home.

Milwaukee’s Blind Bowlers The Friday night scene at a Mil waukee bowling alley differs little from the ordinary night in this cen ter of the tenpin sport, but the bowl ers are blind. Each man steps sure ly to the racks, balances a ball care fully to be sure he has the right one, steps into position, strides forward and shoots the ball down the alley. Then the visitors notice there’s no cheering for a strike until an attend ant calls out; “A strike, Jim!” Or perhaps the kegler gets a bad split, and when the numbers of the pins left standing are called there’s a sympathetic moan. Bowling and other sports are helping to rebuild the confidence of the 26 members of the Milwaukee Athletic Club for the Blind. The night that Walter Wenzel bowled a 207 game, for in stance, marked another triumph and gave his sightless comrades a new goal. Bowling, swimming and gymnastics are their favorite sports, but the members also have tried golf and a modified form of base ball. Japanese Memorial to Premier Tokyo, Japan, will preserve the residence of Korekijo Takahashi, once premier and many times finance minister, as a memorial park. Soon after the financier statesman was murdered by sol diers in the outbreak of February 26, 1936, his son gave the residence to the city. The house was moved to Tama cemetery. Takahashi had a three-story warehouse on the prop erty. In it he stored images of Buddha, picture scrolls, objects of art and many books in English. The warehouse will be made into a memorial hall. Testing Auto Drivers Isaac Hart, 46 years old, of Tren ton, N. J., who was granted his first automobile driver’s license in 1919 and has driven for 20 years with “no one knowing and evidently not caring whether I was capable of driving or not,” has offered to take a phys ical examination to determine his fitness. In a letter to Arthur W. Magee, state motor vehicle commis sioner, Hart said he hoped to "start a movement through which every driver of an automobile in the Unit ed States will be compelled to pass a periodic test proving his fitness to drive.” Galileo Quite an Inventor The pendulum, thermometer, and telescope were invented by Galileo, born in February, 1564.

THIS spring, as every spring, newspapers in many states report the break-up of roads. As the rainy season gets in its ruinous work many roads are made almost impassable with mud, wash-outs, washboards, ruts, bumps, and chuck-holes. Highway departments are forced to post load restric tions, warnings and detours until the repair crews can do their work. But there is no spring break up on concrete roads.

Mainte nance costs arc reduced to a minimum. Yet first cost of concrete is less than that of any other pavement of equal load-carry ing capacity. Swift but safe visible at night—smooth but non-skid—saving in gas, tires and car repairs, concrete is indeed the standard by which all roads are judged. Drivers Not Engineers ' Responsible for Safety Safety on the highways is a per sonal responsibility of every motor ist who uses the roads, and is not a problem to be solved entirely by the engineer or the police, accord j ing to the chairman of one state highway commission. While highway engineers are de- I signing and building roads which have every safety factor known to modern science, and traffic engi neers are doing effective work in. marking roads and establishing reg ulations to eliminate hazards, sue-, cess of this program must rest with the motorist. Unless a safety mark ing on the highways is observed by ell motorists, it can not prevent con tinued accidents. Disregard of “stop” signs at in tersections is one of the frequent causes of accidents while many mo torists pay little attention to other caution and warning signs which have been placed along the state highways for their protection. Evert the construction of costly dual-larrj highways, where traffic moving iru opposite directions is separated by wide parkways, has not eliminated accidents which result from poor or careless driving. Continued progress is being made I by highway engineers in the elimi nation of hazards, such as narrorv j bridges and culverts, narrow shout , ders and the elimination of sharp j curves and grades. Similar prog ress is being made in traffic regu lations by the establishment of speed rones, use of yellow lines to desig ( nate no-passing zones and use at signs. Maintenance practices have been improved as a part of tfce co-ordinated safety program of tte highway commission. Few accidents occur on the high way systems in which the motowMs involved, rather than the roads, ass; not primarily responsible. Bisse gard of caution and warning sigtui,. failure to give proper signals arosS violation of the ordinary rules «#•' courteous driving usually make road conditions a secondary factor in accidents.
