must equal the total outlay made by the highway department, as this is the only method possible to avoid omis- sion of important items.
 'The amount of traffic must be ob- tained by traffic census. This should be divided between passenger and commercial vehicles and also between mOtor-driven and hrose-drawn vehicles.
 'In New York state, where every five or six miles of improved highway Is under the control of a patrolman, 1t would be comparatively easy to obtain such traffic census, as the patrolman could have certain day each month to make count of these vehicles, at comparatively no expense to the state.

WORK AROUND HOME GROUND
New Responsibility Placed on Every Farmer by Improvement of Rural
 Roads and Highways

The improvement of rural highways and the building of good roads lay a new responsibility upon every farmer. It means that there will be a greatly increased amount of traffic passing by his homestead it will bring him more closely in touch with the outside world, including citizens from the im- mediate neighborhood. from the sur rounding counties and indeed from many parts of other states.
 The farmer and his home life are now brought more directly to the at tention of the general public. Under these circumstances H. F. Major of the Missouri college of agriculture sug- gests that he take more pride in the development of his home grounds. "A man is known by the company he keeps" so the character of a man is judged by his home life and the at mosphere with which he surrounds himself.
 The improvement of the grounds does not necessarily imply spending great sums or building an extensive .Show Place" decorated with architec- tural furnishings and formal gardens. It means treating the yard as an out of-door living room; as a part of the house. It means, keeping it clean and neat and comfortable and cheerful. It should be decorated with fine trees, beautiful towering shrubs, and with annual and perennial flowers that fill the soul with gladness and make home a lovable spot surrounded by endear- pg associations

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Probability That One Committee Will Purchase All Supplies Needed by
 the Allied Countries

WaShingtOn.-Creati of a central purchasing committee in Washington for all supplies bought in the United States for the allied governments was forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever. financial expert of the British war mission. The committee will supplaat J. P. Morgan & Co.
 Discussing the world financial situa- ton. the British expert expressed the opinion that Germany will be practical ly bankrupt in the credit markets after the war.
 "Our enemies" he said. flor all their boasted efficiency, have never had the courage to face their financial prob lens, with the result that when the war Is over they will be hard put to It."
 The Teutonic governments having pyramided one internal loan upon an- other, he explained, their interest charges would be so great that he be- lieved they would either have to repu- dlate large part of their debt or face inability to buy the enormous quanti- ties of material they would need for reconstruction.
 The allies, he added, had paid their way in the war '.by the straightfor- ward and natural means, by pouring out their gold. by selling enormous masses of American securities. by rais- ing loans." As result, he predicted that the end of the war would find the allies in good shape financially. despite their enormous permanent debts.

Washington.-Conferees on the army bill agreed on a provision to pay s1OO a month to men in training camps seeking to qualify as members of the officers reserve corps.
 Although the full allotted quota of 40,OO0 men probably will be enrolled in the officers training camps when they open May 15. there still is plenty of oom for men of the right qualities" the war department announced.
 Tn a statement saying that each of the sixteen camps seemed assured of it's full allotment of 2,500 applicants for commissions. the department ap- pealed for further recruits among men of proved ability.

Brakeman Was Shocked.

Among the things which passed through the mind of brakeman yes- terday was 11.tOO volts of electricity. says a New York dispatch. Now the man feels just bit snappier than usual and Is going about his work with no faculty impaired. The brakeman climbed to the roof of a freight car in the Bronx yards of the New Haven railroad In the course of his work to ease the pressure of the cars side door. Above his head the giant feed wire dangled. He started to walk to- ward the rear of the train and walked into the sagging wire. He does not know that he missed the snappiest acrobatic performance in the history of railroading. When they climbed up on the car they found him yawning and bit mystified, but when an ambulance surgeon arrived there was nothing for him to do but congratulate the brake man.
