WILSON WOULD CHANGE
LINCOLN HIGHWAY PLAN
President Indorses Proposal that Road
Include Baltimore and Washing
: ton In Its Course.

President Wilson, acting on the sug-
Restion OF joint committee of Baltimore
hnd Washington business men which
waited on him recently. yesterday on
eially indorsed their request that the
proposed Lincoln Highway include Bal
timore and Washington on its route from
coast to coast.
= Those who favor this change in the
proposed route for the memorial road
way argue that the connecting road be-
tween Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
inKton would serve as a sign OF the COM
plete reunion of the North and South. 1t
also is argued that the highway as me-
mortal to Lincoln should be made 20
pass the new Lincoln Memorial under
construction in the Mall.
The Endorsement Of the President was
In the form Of letter to Henry B. Joy,
president of the private association that
Is pushing the project.
The President pointed out in his letter
that no new roads would have to be con-
structed to include the Southern cities
In the route, but that it would be neces-
Bary only to designate officially the good
roads already in existence as part Of
the Lincoln Highway.

Greatly improved crop conditions
throughout the United States are re-
ported in a farmers bulletin issued yes
terday by the Department OF Agriculture.
Basing its statement on present condI-
tions. the department predicts a bumper
yield in practically all crops.
THE composite condition Of all crops
on June I was about % per cent above
their ten-year average condition on that

Last year the June l condition of all
crops was IL per cent below the ten

Grain in the North Atlantic States is in
good condition, the dry weather coming

fly. reported in this section. came too
late to injure the, plans. which had at
tained too vigorous a growth to sue
cumb to its attacks. Recent rains in the
South Atlantic States have relieved the
grain crop there. A cool wet spring in
the Northern Central States and a dry.
backward season in the South averaged
crop conditions in that section. An un-
usual amount of moisture in the Western
States has brought crop conditions con-
siderably above the average.

SMITH APPEALS IN VAIN

The House, having set aside District
! day in order to expedite work on the
sundry civil bill. yesterday turned down
Smith. of idaho. to appropriate $4,000 for
the completion Of the historical frieze
around the interior Of the Capitol dome.
The amendment was knocked out on a
point of order made by Chairman Fitz-
gerald. OF the Appropriations Committee.
Reunion of North and south.
Mr.. Smith, proposed that the frieze
should be completed by figures repre-
senting Generals Grant and Lee shaking
hands, the construction Of the Panama
canal and the conquest OF the air
through aeroplanes Speaking on his
amendment, Mr.. Smith said. in part:
I'VE point with pride 10 our magnifi-
cent Congressional Library. and the
splendid Senate-and House ONCE build
ings. but we are ashamed of our unfn-
ished Capitol. For more than sixty years
it has remained in an uncompIeted condi-
tion. / have no doubt that every new
member Of Congress who has passed
through the rotunda has been surprised
to observe the vacant space in the histor-
icaI frieze. and that visitors always in
quire of the guide why it has not been
comRleted.
ut appears to me, Mr.. Chairman. that
it is very important that this work be
completed without delay. Early next
spring We are expecting thousands Of Wis
itors from foreign countries to the Ma
tional Capital en- route TO attend the
Panama Exposition in San Francisco, and
II this amendment is accepted the work
could be completed in the meantime and
we would not be compelled to apologize
for the unfinished condition Of this great
building.
Fitting Recognition.
What more important event has
transpired in the history Of our country
than the reuniting OF the North and
South after a struggle OF four years in
civil conflict? 1t was a fitting recogni-
ton Of this event after fifty years Of
peace. which was recently celebrated by
the dedication of a monument to the
dead in Arlington.
We all recognize that the building Of
the Panama canal is the greatest engi-
neering feat in the worlds history. 1t
was constructed by American skill and
American money, and the celebration of
its completion is a most important event.
The successful construction of a heav
ier than air machine for the navigation
Of the air was accomplished by Ameri-
cans. and this important event also
should be represented in this great his
torical frieze.''
