Tree Tops Help Judging
* Road Over Hill Crest
Many motorists hesitate to pass an
other car when approuchlng the crest
of a hill, fearing still another ma
chine may be approaching from the
other side, whereas the road at the
top may be level. To make sure that
the highway does not dip down beyond
the summit it is only necessary to note
whether there are any trunks of trees
visible 100 feet or so away.
If these can be seen when climbing
the hill, the top of an approaching
car could also be seen, and it is safe
to assume that the road Is level at
the top and that no harm can result
from passing around the car ahead.
Improved Highways Will
Spread Over All States
Secretary Wallace told the Ameri
can Automobile association that by the
