lodges as an official either of the granG
lodge of his own state or as the leader
OF the national lodge 1t is happy
auguary, said he, when any lodge has
attained its 3nth birthday. More anc
more as the years go by these anniver.
saries illustrate the fact that the prin'
ciples of, our fellowship are as undyine
as the stars. 1t means that a living
vital force has been created in your com
munity.
Ninety-fve years ago five men, aliens
here in America, men of English birth
were drawn together by common loneli-
ness. They organized the first lodge OF
Odd Fellowship and it is truly significant
that the part which the fraternity has
taken in the life of this great republic
should have patriotic antecedent in
name. The first lodge was called Wash
ington lodge. The fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man were its
two underlying principles. Fatherhood
and brotherhood constituted the domi-
mating idea and how well this idea has
been preserved may be seen in the proud
record that Odd Fellowship has made
for itself in America. On such a firm
foundation the builders came to lay the
super-structure of ritualism. 1t was in
ter-woyen with three fold desire to
promote common charity, love of God
and love of country.
Throughout the years of its existence
it has not attempted to usurp the func-
tions of the church. Instead, il has been
content to serve as the church's hand
maiden. Addressing members of Hiawa-
tina lodge, let me say that YOU have not
lived up to yonr profession nor have
You kept the faith if you have failed in
emphasizing your own true function
The fact that YOU have attained the
mature years or 30 speaks volumes for
your fidelity for the principles on which
Odd Fellowship stands. Remember al
ways that Odd Fellowship is not con-
lined TO the four walls of lodge room.
There is room for expansion and where
there is the will TO carry the three-fold
message that is ours by heritage there
is the way. The speaker was compelled
to bow before the hearty applause as
he concluded his remarks.
That Hiawatha lodge should be able
thus to celebrate its anniversary in such
a pretentious manner was due in large
emasure to the indefatigable efforts of
the committee in charge, consisting of
Frank w, Jackson, Alex Duncan, o. i.
PhilbriclS, c. g. Carr and Judge Scott.
While they worked early and late to
make of the affair success, they had
access always to the ready assistance of
other members of the order in this city

Overland March Output
More Than 5000 Cars

use twenty carloads OF freight n day
would be a marvel OF Industrial and bus
ness thrift. and that would mean only so
cars for the whole city in a twenty-siv
day month. The Overland incoming
freight for March shows a total OF more
than - per cent greater business.
II this freight could be hauled in a
single train 1t would stretch nearly seven
and one-half miles across country and
seventeen OF the largest freight engines
made would be required TO handle the
cars. The combined incoming and outgo-
ing business would make a train more
than twenty-five miles long, carrying a
capacity load for ffty-three OF the big
gest "mogul' locomotives.
The description OF the loads carried by
the incoming cars also furnishes an in
teresting view Of the motor car industry.
Among the articles listed on the report
are coal, fuel oil. cylinder oil. gasolene,
sand, fire brick. lumber. machinery. hair,
wheels, springs, electric starting motors,
batteries. magnetos, paint, white cotton,
bow sockets. rims and rings, tires, tub
ing. several varieties Of steels and other
metals, leather, rubber mating, wadding
and linoleum.
When one stops TO consider that these
materials never come I'm less than carload
lots and sometimes, as in the case OF
forge steel in shipments that require a
whole train, the automobile business
takes on very respectable proportions.

Though the figures in themselves are

In this respect the monthly car move

BLUE BOOKS OUT EARLY
Wealth of Detail for Motorists

One OF the surest harbingers Of spring
Is the annual appearance Of tho auto

Will Use Gravel and Earth
in the Sections Where
Travel Is Light.
COSTLY HIGHWAYS
ONLY WHERE NEEDED
Saving Will Permit Use of Brick
or Concrete Where Traffic
Is Heaviest.

Scarcely less important than tho brick
road message OF Governor Glynn OF New
York is the announcement OF the road
policy adopted for this year by Vermont.
As explained by State Highway Commits
sioner Charles w. Gates at a recent
meeting OF town road commissioners. ne
intends TO use the state appropriation OF
about $4,000 in building trunk roads and
to spend funds amounting TO more than
$1,000 derived from motor vehicles in
keeping tho most travelled routes in re-
pair He will abandon macadam and
other types OF expensive construction and
return 10 earth and gravel roadmaking
on tho less travelled highways.
These plans will have the approval OF
automobilists who contemplate taking
part I'm the national touring week that Is
being promoted by me National Automo-
bile Chamber OF Commerce and tho
American Automobile Association. The
White Mountains, in New Hampshire. VIII
be the objective point OF hundreds OF
touring parties that will pass through
Vermont during the week ending July 4,
because of the Chicago and Boston run
for the Gndden trophy, terminating at
Boston on July 3. and the semi-annual
meeting Of the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION at Breton Woods on July 4.
Apart from the advantages Of inducing
automobile travel, which are well known
to New England highway commissioners,
the plan adopted by Vermont, together
with a determination 10 build brick. con-
crete or other equally durable roads near
large cities, and wherever else a large
volume OF traffic makes the cost of main
tanning macadam excessive, is generally
considered a sound economic policy. Any
state can gradually get permanent roads
10 carry its heaviest traffic without in
curing any additional expense or cur
failing the mileage OF road improvement
by combining the policies advocated by
the two states.
For every mile OF gravelled road that
is made instead OF macadam, the state
can build one mile OF concrete road in
stead Of macadam without the combined
cost exceeding that of two miles OF mac
adam or stone road. Gravel roads, cost
ing from 5000 TO 5000 mile, will meet
the demands OF the farmers and automo-
bile tourists, and concrete or brick roads.
costing from $4,000 TO $4,000 mile. will
be boon to all users of heavy teams,
motor trucks and passenger vehicles and
to property owners.
Gravel, brick and concrete roads cost
much less TO keep in repair than mac
adam roads, so the adoption Of this policy
would result in an annual saving Of sew
eral hundred dollars a mile over the all
macadam system.

Red Lights on Crossing

The ordinary crossing gate has white
light hung to the bar, which at night In
d,cates by its position alone whether the
track is clear. But by this device a piece

white light swings behind 1t and shows
red when the gate is down.
When the gate is UP, as the ROUNDED is
stationary and the light swings, the light
comes out from behind the red glass and
shows white again. At no time is the red
light visible from the track, and traffic on
the railroad is not interfered with, but the
safety of motorists and the drivers of
other vehicles Is increased.
