or the country into even good gravel
| roads. That this is desirable few will
gainsay, and that it is becoming nee
essary under modern conditions and
the relations now existing between
producer and consumer is also quite
generally admitted The increased cost
of hauling over unimproved roads is
an immense tax upon the farmer and
those who purchase his products, and
is a restriction on the crops which
can be raised and moved In certain
localities
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion finds that two hundred and sixty
five million tons of agricultural, forest
and miscellaneous products of the
land are hauled to depots for ship
ment in the course of a year Figured
on a basis of the average haul at the
lowest average rate over unimproved
roads, 23 cents per ton per mile, the
cost would be four-hundred-thirty
two millions, four hundred thousand
dollars. If the hauling could be re-
duced to one-half the present average
or 111Rc a ton, the resultant saving
would exceed $2OO,OOO,OOO a year.
That such a saving is reasonable is
indicated by the experiences in other
countries and in localities where i'm
proved roads are found. The cost of
hauling on such improved roads is
placed at from to 20 cents per ton.
The introduction of wise and equit-
able road laws and good business
management would, it is estimated,
save forty million dollars more in the
administration of the country's roads
or leave it for some other use.

IMPROVED ROADS IN AMERICA
Some Startling Facts Given Regard
ing unimproVed Thoroughfares
in the United States.

There are in the United States a
little more than two million one hun
dred and fifty thousand miles of
roads. OF this mileage only one hun
dred and seventy-siX thousand, four
hundred and twenty-nine miles are
improved, or eight and two-tenths per
cent of the total, according to Stats
tics gathered by the government Office
of public roads. The improved roads
are those surfaced with gravel, stone,
or with some special material.
The most striking feature Of these
statistics is the enormous extent OF
unimproved roads in the United
States. An expenditure of something
like $4,000, 100000 would be required
to convert the common earth roads

CURIOUS BITS

PLENTY OF BEER BUT NO
TOBACCO.
BY A. w. MACY.

Beer and tobacco are supposed
by some people to be on -5out
the same footing, but a certain
company In London 200 years
ago did not seem to think so.
IL was the business of this COM
pany to look after the welfare
Of the emlgrants who had gone
out from the mother country
to seek homes in the New
World. In 1929 it sent over the
good ship Talbot, loaded with
provisions, clothing, etc., to the
Massachusetts bay colony by the
same ship the company sent
long list of instructions In re-
gard to their conduct, telling
them what they should and
should not do. One of the things
they were forbidden to do was
to cultivate and use tobacco,
"unIess It be some small guam
title for mere necessitie, and for
phlsick for the preservation of
their health, and that the same
be taken privately by antlent
men and none other"

LANGFORD WHIPS McVEY FOURTH
TIME OUT OF HIS SIX
TRIALS.

Sydney, Australia, Dec. 26.-Sam
Langford knocked out Sam McNey in
the thirteenth round today in one of
the fiercest heavyweight battles seen
in Australia in years
Today's fight between Langford and
Sam McVey, the two heavyweight col
ored boxers, was the sixth occasion on
which they had met.
The Bostonian Langford has now de-
feated the Californian McVey on four
occasions; on one other occasion he
was beaten by McVey, and one of their
fights ended in draw. Five of these
matches were fought in Australia and
the remaining one in Paris. Langford
holds the title of heavyweight cham
pion of England and McVey that of
heavyweight champion of Australia.
1t was reported that one time Lang
ford was to fight Jack Johnson for the
championship of the world.
Sam Langford, who is thirty-two
years old entered the ring as pro-
fessional in 1902 and has during the
last ten years had remarkable box
ing career.
L;ngford had the better of the fight
ing throughout the match. He severe
/, punished McVey. who made a
'Jlucky defense.
Langford began fighting fiercely in
the first round, landing lefts and
rights and driving McVey to the
ropes.
Only during the second and third
rounds did McVey show any sign OF
equality with his Nova Scotian oppon-
ent, and even then his punches did not
worry Langford a great deal.
In the fourth round Langford
floored McVey with an uppercut to the
chin, and from then on McVey simply
tried TO protect himself but received
severe punishment.
The finish came in the thirteenth.
round, when Langgord again forced
McVey to the ropes and then landed
innumerable lefts and rights on his
face, causing McVey to fall. complete

MAYOR TO OPPOSE
JACK JOHNSON IN
SOCIETY RESORT

Chicago, Dec. 23.- The purchase
of a summer home and model farm
by Jack johnson, the Negro
heavyweight pugilist, in the ex-
elusive millionaire colony of Lake
Geneva and the establishment of a
Negro club there, will be opposed
by Mayor Frank Autosky
II don't think either johnson or
any member of his race will es-
tablish themselves here" the
mayor said, but should any o
them attempt such "a move | will
take the case up with the residents,
l suppose the police powers would
cover such case"
A number of acres at the North
end of the lake in one of the most
desirable portions of the colony,
which is known as the Newport
IF the West" were secured by op-
tion on Dec. II by w. G. Ander-
son. a Negro attorney and formerly
one of Johnson's counsel.
The property will be owned by a
syndicate of 10 Negroes, men asso-
ciated for the establishment of a
club.
1T will be nice, orderly, re-
spectacle place." said Anderson
today Il do not understand why
there should be so much talk about
the purchase"
Anderson said the property
would not be sold and that the club
would be established there John
son already has announced his in
tention of making his permanent
summer home in the colony. The
Negroes plan to occupy the club
property as soon as warm weather
opens. Many Of Chicago's social
leaders, including some of the
wealthiest men in Americ, have
summer homes abjooning the Ne
gro club property.
