ing country for twelve wiles around.
The fame of Carthage and its good
roads and prosperous farmers and
the easy manner in which the funds
were raised to build these roads have
spread to other States. Mr.. Clarkson
has been answering invitations from
towns over Missouri, Illinois and Iiwa
for several months telling them the
story of Carthage and Her Good
Roads" until the indications are that
this Missouri town will soon have
many sisters in the movement that
has done so much for her people.
The directors of the Jefferson
Highway have secured the services of
Mr.. Clarkson, and under his manage
ment and enthusiasm and experience
in road and community building they
hope to build the Jefferson Highway
from Winnipeg 20 New Orleans in the
shortest time that any road of like
length has ever been built in the
world. The route is 1900 miles long
and every town along its way is to
be organized into a Carthage" with
its Jefferson Highway and many
miles of feeders, all 365 day roads.
Instead of shoestring route like
a railroad, with only occasionally a
crossing or a connecting road, the
Jefferson Highway is to make great
system of roads radiating from every
town and city with the Highway be-
ing one of them on two sides of the
town. And along with the good roads

HOUSING AND HEALTH
Model Homes Planned for Washing

Cities Proves Sanitary Homes
Rcduce Sick Rate.

Plans have just been completed
for the erection of a series. of model
homes in the city of Washington for
the purpose of demonstrating to the
Ma auon the relationship between good
housing and good health. These are
to be known as the Ellen Wilson
homes. and are not in the nature of
an experiment, but are intended as q
demonstration to the entire United
states.
The intimate connection between
bad housing and bad health and good
housing and good health is clearly

thorities ana to philosophical citi-
zens who wish the Capital City to be

are the streets. Yet they keep their
old lead over the streets when it
comes to totalling the figures for
disease and death.

every community through which the
Highway passes.
Along with his doctrine of gravel
roads and all of the other kinds of
hard-surfGced roads, he has some or
iginal and very valuable suggestions
for building dirt roads. His informa-
tion on this topic is worthy of the
consideration of every farmer, road
official and other person interested
in better roads at less cost and less
waste.
He held six meetings in Kansas
last week. He is now on his first
tour of the route, going south thru
Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, and
back thru Arkansas, Missouri, Iiwa,
and north to Winnipeg. Whenever
opportunity affords it will pay per-
sons interested in better roads and in
generally improved conditions to the
towns and country to meet and hear
Mr.. Clarkson.
After making this trip by rail he

other European cities which tried un-
successfully to make badly situated
dwellings wholesome by cleaning
and fumigating. After thirty-three
years of unavailing effort to improve
that which was fundamentally bad,
Liverpool finally decided that the on
ly hope lay in wiping out its unsani-
tary areas. It demolished the old
houses by the acre and in place of
them built new houses Where dwell

other cities in Europe have done

but what makes Liyerpool's figures
of unusual value is that the new
houses are occupied by the same peo-

some cases the population on a given

la generally higher standard of liv-
ing. The housing only has been
changed and the results are striking.
Washington is attempting much
the same work, though in a less dras-
tic manner. Congress has enacted a
law which goes into effect on July 1,
1918, according to which all the al
ley buildings in the District of Co
! lumbia must cease to be used for
dwelling purposes. Meanwhile, in
order that there may be accommoda-
tion for those who will be forced to
seek new homes in street houses,
there has been organized a limited
dividend company which is to build
houses that will not only be sanitary,
that will provide not only abundance
of light and air. but houses attract
i've architecturally, homelike in their
arrangements and containing bath
rooms and provisions for hot water in
place of the old out-of-door closets
and hydrants.
Such houses as these cannot, of
course yield the return upon the in
vestment that the old houses did. In
fact Congress in its act Incorporating
the Ellen Wilson Homes, limited its
dividends to five per cent net. But
they will yield to their stockholders
dividend in the form of satisfaction
because of needed work well done.
To their tenants they will give relief
from preventable sickness and death
and an increase in the JOY of living.
