 "Tilling of the soil is the largest single industry in the United States.

 Tt has been argued that a country highway should be built by the peo- ple whose farms abut on 1t, as mu- nicipal streets are improved by tax ing the property holders. But the makers of this argument fail to real lxe that there can be no division of interest between the city and country ss far as good roads are concerned.
 "Accessibility is the criterion on which the value of city property Ia based. Farm value depends entirely on adequate means of transporting pro- ducts from the farms to the markets.

Remarkable Arteries

The New York Medical Journal pub lishes summary of report of a re- IT markable case of hardening of the arr teries described by Dr. A. Magnum-Levy in the Deutsche Medixinische Wochen- schrift. The patient was woman aged 47 years, who came under observation for great cardiac weakness. Irregular masses of almost stony hardness were observed in the fiexures of both elbows, and careful examination by radiographs showed these to be very tortuous brachial arteries. so intensely. calcifed that their shadows were almost as heavy as those of donse bones.
 Both p0pltteal arteries and many of the smaller arteries of the exeremities showed similar calcincation. whereas the large vessel sof the abdomen and thorax seemed tosbe entirely free from involvement. with tho exception of the inferior mesenteric. The picture was not one of general ar- teriosclerosis. but that of localized artsrial calciflcation of great intensity, With . few exceptions of slight ihtaltrHttone in tendons and ugaments about the joints, both tho bones and the toints were nor- nal.

HOW GOOD ROADS

 Single Industry

The action of the recent good roads congress in seeking federal aid for highway construction is declared by John N. Willys to be a big step to- ward putting the country population of America on firmer reconstructive basis. As president of the Willys-Over- land company and vice president of the Lincoln Highway association, MT. Willys takes an active interest in fur- theriug road Improvement.
