The statement that the newspaper
publishers of the United States give the

Young presented a copy of daily

ton and picked at random from the
files of the Congressional Library, and
using an arbitrary advertising rate of
10 cents line, MIR. Young counted $50
worth of advertising for purely gov
ernment propaganda, such as enlist
ment boosting" liberty bond" stimu-
iation, etc.
The value of publicity to the depart
ments of the government is little ap-
preciated by those who have not
stopped to think of it, said Repre-
sentative Young. The President of

In a recent address he used these
words: beg that all editors and pub

nent publications and as wide circula-
tion as possible to this appeal What
is worth asking for is worth paying

Representative Young declared that
if the government had paid daily

BAND NEEDED BADLY AT
TT. MYER TRAINING CAMP
About 1000 Of Officers Reserve
Corps to Group for Picture
Tomorrow.

The officers reserve corps training
camp at Fort Myer, Va, Is badly in
need of band, and students and in
structors alike are hoping that some
generous person in authority will order
one sent there
band Is needed early in the morning
to wake up the men with lively march
at "reveflie," at guard mount and also
at retreat" The latter Is the prettiest
and most impressive feature of the daily
program of military camp, but band
is needed to complete it. The sounding
OF to the colors' by buglers fulfills all
regulations. but is not near so impress
sive as the playing of the Star Spangled
Banner" as the colors are lowered for
the day.
Beginning tomorrow there will be
guard mount every morning between
the hours of 1890 and IL o'clock. The
band of the Sd Infantry. N. G. D. c.. is
to be used at first, but it Is hoped that a
band for the exclusive use of the train
ing camp will be provided. The Sd In
fantry band is somewhat below strength
and several of Its members are new at
the game. Officers attached to the train
ing camp today expressed the hope that
band can be obtained from the Wash
ington barracks.

In bringing about the economic and
social gains which the automobile Is
capable of producing good roads are
necessary. Automobile production Is
ahead of road production. and the au-

Die OF standing up under heavy auto
mobile traffic They have Just started
a movement aimed to increase the
number of schools and college depart
ments for the training of highway en-
gineers, having found out from in
quiry of State highway commissioners
that there are not enough properly
qualified men for the road cbnstruc-
ton now going on. To build the right
kind of roads rightly trained men are
primary essential.
Great Road Construction.
While road building is behind au-
tomobile building. this year will see
the greatest road construction ever
undertaken in this country. 1t is es
timated that $3.50. 100000 will be
spent in road building in the United
States this year There is hardly a
State that does not realize the i'm
portance of connecting up by solidly
built roadways with the main high
ways that enter 1t from adjoining
States. Otherwise the ever-increas-
ing stream of motor vehicle traffic
will pass it by. The Federal govern
ment has Joined in the work OF pro-
viding main highway routes adequate
for present-day traffic: $S0,000,0oo
was voted by the last Congress to be
distributed among the States for this
purpose. with the requirement that
each State double the amount of It's
apportionment.
What will the production be this
year? It will be larger than 1916. in
the opinion of the manufacturers. 1t
Is recognized that the last year was a
phenomenal year, and while the auto
mobile has bcen treated to one phe-
nomenal year after another. 100 per
