CONGRESSMAN DOWELL
DISCUSSES HIGHWAYS IN
WASHINGTON'S DAY AND
? I ? r? MITT HTIfTT
"What a- satisfaction It would give
George Washington," Mid Congress
man C. C. Dowell, of Iowa, "If he
could return today and see what
modern engineering haa done to pro
vide thla country with a system of
roads." Congressman Dowell la
himself chairman of the House Com
mittee on Roads, and takes Immense
pride In the nation's effort to pro
vide Itself with perhaps the greatest
highway network ever built, accord
ing to the Division of Information
and Publication of the Qeorge Wash
ington Bicentennial Commission.
"Washington, himself a tireless
traveler," continued Congressman
Dowell, "early saw the necessity of
roada, and throughout hia life en
couraged Improvement of these In
dispensable means to the country's
growth. His pleasure in what we
of today have accomplished would be
all the greater because In his time
road-bulldlng had to languish and
struggle. The earlleat Colonists
were entirely too busy lighting I In
dians and clearing the wilderness to
think of clearing permanent high
ways. The only means of reaching
cut from their little settlements were
the trails of the Indiana.
lrDurlng the Revolution, Washing
ton often found rough and backward
roads one of his military difficulties,
and the strain of the war left the
struggling nation neither time nor
money for road Improvement. To
day we have every regonrca or mod
ern engineering to aid us In a time
when nothing Impedes us in realis
ing a long-recognized need ? the
need of ready commmunlcatlon in
the development of the nation. I
am sure that what we have accom
plished would amaze Washington as
much as it would delight him.
"As one of the best-Informed men
of his time, alert to every fact In the
growth of the country about him,
Washington must have borne with
"patience Tire ? backward Tats or
young America's roads. Blazing
the first primitive openings through
the forest had been a slow and ar
duous task. Soon after 1(20, five
centers of colonization began throw-,
lng out rude paths. These were
Massachusetts, the Connecticut Riv
er and Long Island regions, the ter
ritory round the mouth of the Hud
son. and about Delaware and Cheas
apeake Baym." But these were hard
ly more than bridle paths. ~J
"For years White settlements
were confined to a strip of territory
160 miles wide along the Atlantic
se%-coast, blocked off on the West by
the Impenetrable Alleghenles. Trav
el then was by horseback only, and
in a generally north-and-south line.
Tet it was Just this primitive travel
that gradually lengthened and es
tablished what we have now perpet
uated as Route 1, from Boston to
Baltimore, the first real main high
way in the United States, a muddy
and dusty trail in time to be rutted
by the famous Connestoga Wagon.
"In time the barrier of the Alle
ghenles came to be penetrated by
Oen. Forbes, then by Braddock, and
later by Daniel Boone ? familiar to
Washington in his earliest cam
paigns into Western Pennsylvania.
But in 1792, too late to have glad
dened Washington, the first paved
highway in the United States came
into being. This was the read
from Philadelphia to Lancaster, soon
to be famed as the Lancaster Pike.
By 1802, coach service had been
extended from Boston as far south
as Savannah, a distance of 1,200
miles, and stages were able to make
this journey in 22V4 days, often
traveling the astonnlshlng distance
of 53 miles in a day.
"In 1806 Congress definned the
first approach to a national road-,
building policy In establishing the
National Pike from Cumberland,
Maryland to Wheeling, then In Vir
ginia. ?-Thls was gradually extended
to St. Louis, and as Route 40 It is
to this day the principal east-west
highway from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
"One of the points in our modern
highway system that would most
gratify Washington is the fact that
we have planned it on tha basis laid
down in his day. Now those first
rude biasings of trails have become
3,000,000 miles of Toad. Within
this mileage we have 662,435 miles
of surfaced highway. Our State
roads now total 314,136 miles, 208,
324 miles of them surfaced. And
greatly as we have accomplished, it
is not extravagant to say that with
our policy of Federal Aid, we have
hardly more than made a satisfac
tory beginning on the network of
communications first visioned by the
far-seeing Washington."

Bows play an Important part in the
now fashions for spring. They ap
pear on hats and on blouses, on frocks
and on shoes. Some of the new cot
ton or linen dresses are made with
bows of the fabttc tied at the center
of the V-neckllne or at the center of
the belt.
Hows made from fabric are usually
not tied in the traditional way. The
strip is folded so that there Is a loop
and an end at each side and then a
short separate strip of the same ma
tt rial Is brought round the center and
Siwed In position on the wrong side.
This makes a flatter trimming than
the bow all tied from one fctrtp.
If you are planning to make bows
ol material for any of your washable
dresses, the strips should be arranged
?o that they may conveniently be un
tied when the dress Is washed and
Ironed. Cut two strips of material of
the desired length and width, plus a
Quarter of an inch al! around l'ot
turning in. Put the strips together,
right sides facing, and stitch a quar
ter of an inch along the two long
sides and one short end. Now with
the help of a blunt pencil turn the
strips right side out. Turn In the
edges that have been left open and
overhand neatly. The small strip to be
used for the center of the bow may be
made in the same way.
The sketch shows a folded bowlike
i rimming for a blouse. The material
'3 cut, two pieces, like the diagram,
and seamed along all edges, leaving
a space big enough so that you can
turn the thing right side out like a
pillow case. Pull the points out neatly,
?nd stitch or press around th"e edges.
Then fold along the back lines and
the dotted lines. Lay a double strip
of the material across th? folded or
nament and sew it Into place.
GROW SOME CORN
FOR HOGGING DOWN
Having a good crop of corn to
hog down by pigs farrowed between
January 1 and March 1 will mean
that these pigs can be carried until
the new corn is ready and will then
make sufficient growth to market
around September 1 when the mar
ket is highest.
"An early maturing variety of
corn will be sufficiently mature to
turn the hogs on by August 1 In
most of the State lying east of Ra
leigh," says W. W. Shay, swine ex
tension specialist at State College.
".If this corn is spaced for a yield
equal to the capacity of the land,
any inter-planted crop will reduce
the yield as shown by results of this
and other experiment stations. If
the corn Is supplemented with fish
meal, the amount of pork produced
will be Increased over that produc
ed will be Increased over that pro
duced withoilt such supplementary
feed. , Hogs cannot balance their
teed with standing corn and soy
beans only and if they did, they
would be worth one or two dollars
lees per* hundred pounds owing to
the resultant soft or oily condition
of their bodies."
Judging from present indications
there will be more corn hogged
down this year in North Carolina
that during any previous year, says
Shay. This Is an economical way
to harvest a good crop of corn, will
save considerable labor and will
leave much valuable fertility on the
ground.
However, corn to be hogged down
should not be tnteiVcropped with
soybeans. Not only does this de
press "the corn yield but eatlllg soy
beans lowers the quality of the
pork to the packer. He , penalise*
soft-bodied hogs. Soybeans also
depresses the acre yield of corn.
The more soybeans produced, the
leas corn and the less corn, the less
hard pork, Mr. Shay says.
