alloy standards of France, England

adjusted that the result is disclosed

The bags of gold are then taken to

the molten stream is run into brick

FAITH IN GOOD ROADS
Country Spending $500, 600, 900
Yearly on Improvements.
Ratio Expected to Be Double That
Amount in Next Decade-Govern-
ment Won't Aid Community
That Doesn't Help Itself.

The country is now spending well
toward S2OO,OoO,O0O n year on rural
roads-perhaps twice what it WIS
spending for that purpose ten years
ago. Faith in good roads probably
increased during the decade in an
even greater ratio, and it will be sur
prising If the expenditure ten years
hence is not double S20O,O00,OOO.
This is mainly, of course, an effect
of the motor car; but IA lot of people
misjudge the motor ear because they
forget-or do not know-that in all
the more prosperous rural regions II
gasoline vehicle nowadays is just
about as standard an implement as IL
moving machine. The day has long
gone by when good roads agitation
could be discredited by ascribing 1t to
bloated urban plutocrats who wanted
to ride comfortably.
BY an act that became law last
month the federal government pur'
poses to contribute $T5,OOO,O00 for
good country roads used by the postal
service, sharing the expense equally
with the states or other local units.
The work is to be done on .specifica-
lions approved by the department of
agriculture, duly inspected and ap-
proved.
