C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, L 917 SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ROADS of National Higfiwup AlM elation Would Hav» Federal Gov •rnment Take Charge. Thanks to the pushful, pervasive automobile, American road building has "got a more on" at last. There Is everywhere the cry for roads, for more roads and for batter roads. The draw back ha* been that, as yet, there has been no co-ordination of these multi tudinous enterprise*. The president of the National Highways Association, Charles Henry Davis, 0. HL, in a re cent paper, stated that we spent last year $249,955,967, or more than two thirds the total of money expended so f - Good Read In England. far on the construction of the Panama canal —for our road Improvement* throughout the country. Mr. Davis' contention is that good roads, roads that ran for thousands of miles through state after state, are, proper ty, not the responsibility of the state, but of the nation. He would have the federal governmept build a of national roads Joining the West with the East, the North and South, connect ing every part of the country, as is the case with the- national highways of Europe, and, as history shows, such as was the essential equipment of ev ery first-class power of the past. How would such an enormous construction be paid for and kept up? "Suppose," asks this eminent engineer, "the gov ernment built 100,000 rAlles of prop erly planned roads, and at the same time purchased, say, 800 feet of land on either side. This land wonld so continually Increase in value, and in demand for leasing on lone rental, that the cost ot the road and the lsnd pur chase would soon be paid. A rental rate of $0.66 per acre would pay the Interest on the cost of construction. But much would rent at vastly higher rates, In cities and towns, high enough to give the nation an Income equal to Its total annual expenditure#"—from these national highways alone t SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ROADS Ws Will Soon Ses Necessity for Sep arate Systems far Freight and Passenger Traffic. President Howe of the American Au tomobile association says that In tea years the United States will be OOT ered with systems of national roads. By that time be says we win begin to see the necessity for separate systems for freight anil passenger traffic. Pres ent highways will be greatly multi plied and largely Increased In width. The quality will be Improved as the country begins to learn the art of road building. Good roads be be lieves, are the greatest practical step toward national preparedness. BUILDING ROADS IN FORESTS In Past Fiscal Year There Were Con structed 227 Mllee of New High ways—Other Improvements. During the past fiscal year there were constructed on the national for ests 227 miles of new road, 1.975 miles of trails, 2,124 miles of telephone line, 80 miles of Are lines, 81 lookout struc tures, 40 bridges, 222 miles of fence, 645 dwellings, barns and other struc tures, 17 corrals and 202 water Im provements.

Little pockets, set about the lining of the basket at the sidea will carrjr all the tools for sewing. They are made of the rose-colored silk. Remember the Baby 1 , Even the baby Is to have a patriotic bent given to his affections, by means of toys this year. Uncle Sam appears among the clever, home-made Christ mas dolls, that reveal a rubber ball somewhere In their snatomy.
