ways. fit is on a Main, Trunk or
Link Line, you will probably like the
system But if you live somewhere
that this system does not touch, don t
condemn the system. Remember that
it is designed to connect the States
with each other. 1t is intended to
touch every large city, every State
Capital, and to bring closer together
the several parts of the country. The
The roads are as straight as the con-
tour of the country will permit, with
out an impossible expenditure ofmoney
to tunnell mountains or bridge lakes
and rivers. Remember, too, that your
locality would be connected with such
a system by local road in very
short time.

The Main Highways are six in number,
Northern, Central, Southern, Atlantic,

Although the good roads" idea has

many years, its advocates are still pull

The National Highways Association
believes that the beginning Of .

the Nation must be made by the Fed
eral Government.
Such system consists of fifty thous-
and miles of National Highway. 1t is
merely tentative suggestion of the

would grow and multiply.

There are two million miles of roads

National Highways Abroad
France has National Highways.
These are immense trunk line roads,

these the smaller roads are built by
the provinces of France, just as the
States and Counties of our States will
build feeders and connections to a
National System of Highways.

have probably planned long ago to drag

In fact, the chances are that few attics
nowadays harbor any good mahogany, so
great has the craze for this wood been.
In most attics there is furniture Of a

ture-the shiny surface variety-painted
and enameled white by its owner, who

excepting to make dinner cards and paper

The rabbits body is a fig, not one of

You can shape 1t with your fingers to
make IL look like the bunny's body.
The head is a prune, fastened to the
fig with tnothpicks; a fine wire. or even
pin will co. The ears and legs are
raisins, also pinned on. You can mark
the eyes with white crayon or pins on a
piece of round paper. Fancy how much
fun you would have at a children's party

artIual that could be eaten, and IL each

when he came home to supper? Make
some and see.
