MILITARY HIGHWAY
A GREAT NECESSITY

Major Amos A. Fries, corps of en-
gineers, United States army, who was
for many years the government en-
gipeer in charge of the Los Angeles
harbor work at San Pedro, makes the
following statement in regard to high
ways for defense:
"A highway intended primarily for
military purposes should be located
near our borders, north, east, south
and west--not so near that it could
be easily raided or captured by COM
paratively small bodies of enemy, and
all roads farther inland and par
allel to the border roads should be
made available as feeders, and from
these parallel roads all other roads
should be built, so that all the re-
sources of the country would be read
lily within reach of the armies Of de-
fense. These roads should be SO con-
structed that they would afford al
least temporary passage for the great
number of automobiles that would be
required in the military service.
estimate that it would be possible tt
assemble 100000 ordinary automobiles
within a weeks time for such serv'

ice; that with 100000 machines we
could transport coo, 900 to 800, 900 men
$50 to 300 miles per day if he had
sufficient good roads in the war zone;
and that if we build enough good
roads, and if we train enough men,
we can readily organize our resources
so that we may have no fear of the
entire world"
Adjutant General Charles w. Thom-
as, Jr., of the California National
Guard, in speaking of CALIFORNIA; s
highway system as factor in pre-
paredness, says:
"The great trunk lines of the Cali
fornia state highway system (when
completely will extend from Oregon
to San Diego, one line down the coast
and one line down the great valleys
These highways, with laterals, built
| by the state to connect the county
seats, together with the county sys-
TENS of highways, will make lines OF
travel whereby all of the citizens OF
/ California can at will rapidly move
to any desired point in the state. This
system, built and continually main
tanned at high standard of perfec-
ton by the state and county mainte-
nance departments, will be very for
midable asset to the people Of Cali
fornia in the plan of preparedness.
The system of highways has been
laid out to be of the greatest bene-
fit to the farmer, manufacturer and
traveller. But this same system, with
some additions, would be most val
liable routing for war roads.
The completion of the highway sys-
tenn of California requires no other
argument to all who wish to see this
state thoroughly prepared to resist
the invasion of foreign foe."

Did Papa Go 70 School2

Although he had lived most Of his
six years in classic lrvington, Richard
decided after few days In school that
he did not like II, and announced that
he wished to quit school.
The father received the announce.
ment without comment, but Saturday,
when he had number Of calls to
make downtown he took Richard with
him. 1t was raining.
Whenever Richard and his father
passed man doing manual labor or
disagreeable work, the father said :
There, Richard, is a man who would
not go to school when he was boy"
Tramping the wet streets was tire,
some to Richard. who began to doubt
whether his fathers work was easier
than that Of the other rainy-day toll
ers. He said nothing, however, until
evening, when the family was seated
at the dinner table.
Then came the question that had
been forming in his mind: "Papa.
did you go to school when you were
a little boyT'-Indlanapolis News.

Felt Like n FIXTURE.

It was the day before the official visit
Of the general, and the subaltern had
sent the bugler to the reginental or.
derby room to obtain particulars IL
the Forthcoming visit.
He knocked at the door, entered and
stood aside while numbers Of officers
dashed In and out. The orderly room
sergeant swore, the colonel swore, and
everybody else sighed or gasped. while
the telephone buzzed necessarily.
Half an hour passed, then an hour.
and the bugler stood against the wall.
first on one leg, then on another. with
out receiving a moments attention
Finally the sergeant turned on him
and In tones Of brass demanded:
1well, what the deuce d'you think
you're waiting for"

Those Who Stay At Home.

The vacation habit is growing with
the American people. Every year
larger numbers go away.
And the value of this habit is freely
recognized. A vacation at the right
time not only saves many man and
woman from a breakdown, but also
adds an interest and a JOY In life which
would otherwise not be there.
Nevertheless, 1t faust be admitted
that the majority of people are COM
PEELED by necessity to remain ut home
during the summer months. They
have no option in the matter. Yet they
can console themselves with the reflec-
ton that In many ways their lot Is
more comfortable than that of those
who go. Summer hotels and boarding
houses are seldom as they are pic
tured. An entire house Is more COM
Portable In warm weather than one or
two small and perhaps stuffy rooms.
Unless one knows to just what he is
going there Is great element Of
chance In a vacation.
The person WHO is compelled to be
ut home can, however, vary his man
Ier Of life. He can live out Of doors
in much larger measure than In other
months. In cities he has open before
him multitude of short outings.
Beaches and rivers, and even noun
tains, are available II he can get q
week end. He may possibly get
variety In his summer which others
who are away do not get. And GER
tainly he can learn how to let up, and
so be in better trim for the fall which
Is cor1ing.-Gloucester Times.

posted. In the midst of this sweep
a single sack of sugar slipped from be-
meath the ropes and came hurting
out and down as though 1t were q pro-
jectile from q sling.
The pink parasol was standing un-
consciously with It's back turned d.
rectly in the course OF the flying bag.
The vision Of spring beneath it was
gazing away to where sail was just
taking the fresh breeze. Billy Gard
and his truck were emerging from the
shed for q new load Of sugar. And
here was q young man quick to act
and with a training that enabled him
to do so effectively.
Three strides and leap into the
air were all the time allowed. But
this was enough to make 1t possible
for him to tackle about the waist the
catapulted sugar sack, much as he
had often tackled the member Of an
opposing team who tried to go around
his end in the old football days. To
be sure this end play was the fastest
he had ever seen and resulted in a
good spill, but It was success. The
pink parasol was uninjured.
Thelma Gottrell came to a realiza-
ton of what had happened about the
time Gard was getting himself to his
feet. She ran to him spontaneously
