AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS-.

Postmaster General Burleson takes a
deep interest in road improvement and
has accepted an invitation TO address the
Fourth American Road Congress. which
will be in session in Atlanta. Georgia,
during the week OF November 9
The Postmaster General. commenting
on the subject. said "While il is true
that the public road has always been of
fundamental importance as local utility,
i has assumed much broader signi6-
canoe within the past few years. The
rural delivery service, with its great corps
Of Al. coo carriers. has done much toward
the development of country life and this
vast service is materially affected by
the condition of the public road The
parcel post has already justified the most
sanguine prophecies of its original sup
porters A combination of parcel post
and good roads cannot fail to materially
advance the prosperity of the country
dwellers and at the same time promote in
a very marked degree the welfare of the
city population. The automobile has
graduated from merely pleasure vehicle
to recognized utility, and there are now
we'll over million and half automobiles
and auto trucks in the United States.
feel therefore. that the American
Road Congress in Atlanta will be dealing
with subject paramount in its impor-
tance to the American people and trust
that the men who are in position to
forward the movement for better roads
will attend this great annual meeting
The impression seems to be quite general
that the way to further the good roads
movement is to get more money and still
more money appropriated. While we
could no doubt spend larger sums to ad-
vantage. our most pressing need is to
place the administration of our present
great outlay. estimated at not less than
$2o5, 900, 600. on sound business basis.
We should apply to the management of
the public roads the same sort Of common
sense that is applied in the management
of other business enterprises. or. in other
words, eshould employ sufficient num-
Der Of skilled. qualified men, provide
them with necessary assistance and equip
ment. place at their disposal sufficient
funds. and hold them responsible for re-
suits This would be vastly better than
our present system OF depending upon
tens of thousands of road officials whose
knowledge of road building. if it exists
at all. is incidental to some other occu-
patton"

"My Almanac is a missionary publica-
tion buhI have put advertisements in it,,
not only for their educational advantages
to the Chinese in the interior. who know
little about foreign goods and convent
ences. but also in order to make il possi-
BILE to sell it very cheaply averaging one

"The work in China though large is
very encouraging The country is quieter
now than it has been for long time.

favorable and those who come to hear are
constantly increasing thoughout the in
