he will not return that way because
its beauty is deceptive. The gritty par

over the fact that the Appian Way is
still in tolerable condition after more
than two thousand years, have stopped
to consider how long that Same high
way would last in Michigan, for ex-

CRATE and cause it to wear away just
as fast as they do our own macadam
and cement construction.
How many of those appreciate how
much bodybuilding is going on not
only in their own immediate neighbor-
hood but throughout this country.
How many know that Michigan will
build 800 miles of wonderfully good
roads: that Indiana will build fully
600 miles Of roads, and she already has
1000 miles of excellent highways,
which she is keeping in the pink Of
