Concord, N. H.. Sept. SOTFriends
and associates of Harry X. Thaw
are worrying considerably over the
failure of the Mattsawan fugitive
to rid himself OF a heavy cold with

deep and persistent cough. Thaw
has been under the care of a local
physician, but had not responded
well to the treatment prescribed.
His broken rest and the hard work
he has been doing with his secre-
tary since his arrival here have re-
duced his weight somewhat.

Secretary Houston Explains Att-

CROSS COUNTRY WAYS SECOND
Getting Farm Products 70 Town ID
Most Important Thing-Fed-
eral Aid . Grave
Question.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. S0.-Secre
tary Houston Of the United States
department of agriculture in an ad'
dress before the American Road
Congress here expressed his ap-
proval of the efforts Of the organiza'
tion and explained the interest Of
the federal government with refer
ence to road building.
He urged good roads for the farm
er in preference to great transcon-
tinental highways for motorists and
at the same time he said he did not
underestimate the valuable service
rendered by motorists in the propa-
ganda for road building.
1.-THE suggestion Of great trans
continental roads appeals to my im-
agination, as does the suggestion OF
interstate roads connecting capitals
or cities of commercial Importance
to my logical faculty and to the
sense of pleasure that / experience
in riding abaut the country with
my friends in motor cars. But that
the essential thing to be done is the
providing of good roads which shall
get products from the community
farms to the nearest station and
make rural life more profitable,
comfortable, pleasurable, enter
tain no sort of doubt, and 1t is OBJ
vious that the representatives Of
the people in congress are like mind
ed.
"That the suggestion of federal
aid to road building raises grave
questions and involves possible
dangers, no thoughtful citizen
doubts. There are proposals before
the public mind which would bank
rupt the federal treasury and sug-
gest possible abuses before which
those of the worst pork barrel bills
of the past would pale into insight
ficance."
