A traffic count on the new hard road is still of interest to everybody. A Decatur man left Decatur at 4:46 a afternoon, drove to Cerro Gordo and was back home at 6 o'clock. He spent some time at Cerro Gordo.

His time on the road may be put at approximately one hour. Two boys in his party carefully counted the automobiles which they met both going and coming. Here is the count. (Joins, from Decatur city i i to Cerro Gordo, 231. Cerro Gordo to Decatur i limits, 146.

Total, 377. 3,770 IN TEN HOURS. At a late per hour In ten hours 3,770 cars would pass over that road on Sunday.Of course that rate would not hold for ten hours but it probably would hold for five hours, say from 1 p. in. to 6.

But It is also true a it was a pretty busy road for much more a ten hours, say from 6 a. m. i 10 o'clock at night. That would be sixteen hours. It is also probably true that at no hour between 10 p.

How Decatur could use a forest preserve was shown very clearly Sunday, the really i pleasant out doors Sunday that i part of the country has had this year. Motorists who drove along the a i out from Decatur and pedestrians who hiked about the Jake or along the country roads in search of flowers and recreation found i i parties at many places. COOKING IN OPEN.

These hikers, dressed for the part were found with their little fires made, handy skillets being used to cook bacon and eggs or with grills on which small steaks were being broiled, showed how greatly Decatur citizens would enjoy a forest preserve where they could go in safety and security, without trespassing, to have a day in the open. Girls and women in knickers, wearing- substantial shoes, made long a hikes. TIRED OUT. Some of the women and girls were very tired when they reached the places for which they were traveling but it was a weariness which brought harvest hand appetites, nature's rouge and a preliminary coat of tan. Decatur's lake never was more popular and the need of early action for a i i set of rules for Its use and wa never more apparent.

Boats large and small of all varieties, were on the lake and the various bridges and points of vantage for looking at the body of water were occupied throughout the day hy hundreds of motorists and pedestrians.
