Some OF the organizations that IT
is planned viii be taken in are the
Camp Fire, Girl Scouts OF America
and her own own organization, the
Girl Scouts. She stated that the
movement abroad is more successful
than that In this country, because
of the feet that there is abroad but
one organization.
Several of the leaders In New York,
she said, express a willingness TO
combine the forces and with the ex
ception OF some little jealousies as to
who should take the leadership and
reap the glory" 1t is practically de-
cided.
Our association In England, which
was established by Miss Agnes

there of the Girl Guides. 1t quickly

Would Result in $300,O00,-
900 Saving in u. S.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD.

WASHINGTON, Jan, l0.-Many
are the theatres that have been ad-
vanced for the present bugaboo OF
the entire world--the high cost of liv-
ing. But Logan Waller Page, of the
Department of Agriculture. has struck
upon what he claims is the real rea-
son the cost of living is SO alti-
tudinous.
Mr.. Pages season is briefly the fact
the roads of the United States are
In such d shocking state of disrepair
and no repair. MIR. Pages position
as chief Of the Bureau of Public
Roads of the Department of Agri-
culture may have something to do
with his theory. But he has a num-
Der Of apparently excellent arguments
to substantiate it.
Would Save $500, 0oo, 900.
do you know he asked recently.
while speaking to me on the subject
Of roads and the cost of living, that
the people of the United States have
il within their power to save them
selves 100000 0o0 year merely by
improving their roads? Think what
a cut such saving would make in
the cost of living, Think what It
would mean To each individual budget
to have a slice Of this saving.
III the cost of hauling in this
country were cut down one half, or
made equal TO the average European
cost Of hauling, which is II IL cents,
as against our 20 cents, the United
States would save itself $3.50, 900, 600
o year. In addition, the nation could
add another $4,000, 900 to its income
by passing equitable road laws and
substituting wise and equitable SUI
perVision for the present antiquated
ana wasteful system of handling our
roads
Thus you see that in the two
items OF hauling and road admins
tration alone, the United States has
il In its power to save the $500 600, 600
| lust spoke OF. And considerably
more could be added TO this If the
people of the nation could be brought
TO a realizat ion OF how much 1t means
to the future OF the country TO have
roads which win reflect credit upon
those who made them.
How Costs Multiply.
In connection with this subject
there are two or three interesting
items, proved by statistics in this de-
partment and the Department OF
Commerce. which the average man
| does not know.
Are you aware, for example. that
| ii costs more to deliver a pound OF
coffee from the country grocery store
! To home a mile and quarter away
/ than it costs TO bring that same
pound of coffee all the way from Rio
! de Ianiero to New York;
do you know that IL costs the
/ farmer who dives ten miles from the
railroad over which he ships his prod
ucts one and one sixth cents more
TO haul a busheI of wheat to the
! freight station than it costs the buyer
| to ship that wheat from New York
| to Liverpool
! DO you know that our average
yearly bill for hauling cotton alone
is over three hundred million dol
! lars
NO. YOU didn't know these things
! and the average man is also ignorant
| of them That's the reason that the
| bad roads of the United States go on
mulCting the citizens OF the country
Of their hard-earned money"
