JAPAN'S ~sHIPBUlLDINa.

Nowhere, perhaps, is the effect oil
the wal upon Japan more patent
than in her great naval yards at
Yokosuka; nowhere does the
strength and magnitude of her ambi-
lions find more cogent demonstra-
ton. The possessors of an island EN-
pire, the statesmen Of Japan have
not been slow to recognize the value
of a strong navy and a powerful and
numerous mercantile marine. I'm
der a system of shipbuilding and
shiprunning bounties, her merchant
shipping has made huge strides and
the advocates Of state aid, in return,
under certain circumstances for
state control, may point confidently
to the successful transportation of
troops in time of wal in justification
of their policy.-New York Tele-

WHAT IS WARTIME ECONOMY
Misinformation Agitation Would Stop
All Activities Other Than War.
Declares Writer.


Misinformation agitators believe
economy to be a cessation Of all pos
sible activities calling for the ex-
penditure Of public money other
than that directly concerned with
the prosecution of the war. In this
throttling Of activity the good roads
movement is imperiled-a movement
which has gained tremendous mo-
mentum of late years through the
demands, not emily Of the pleasure
car but also of the motor truck. in
its endeavors to serve the nation
through increasing the efficiency Of
short-haul transportation systems,
says a writer in Leslie's.
The Society of Automobile Engi-
neers, in cooperation with the quar-
termaster's department, has com-
pleted a set of specifications for mill
tary motor trucks to form the basis
of the competitive bid for the $4,000
machines required for the army.
These specifications are based on the
experience gained from the whole
sale use of trucks on the Mexican
border. They call for a larger,
stronger and more expensive truck
than would be necessary were this
type to be used over uniformly good
or average roads. We're our inn
proved highway system complete, less
stringent specifications for truck
construction would be required and
millions would be saved on the cost
of our truck fleet. This saving would
more than pay the interest on the
bonds required to provide for the
construction Of the thousands of
miles of improved highways this
great country so urgently needs.

They encountered no opposition at

patented" pavementA

"patented's pavementA
AS a matter of fact no type Of road
is patentable. The only patent to be
obtained is on the method OF laying a
pavement, or on the composition of
some particular paving black. There
is not a patented pavement laid to-
day that cannot be duplicated for
much less money than is paid for the
patented type.
To illustrate by Connecticut case,
Bridgeport has laid a patented pave
ment. The average cost to the city
Of Bridgeport for the pavement when
put down was s1.55 a square yard.
New Haven, building the same type of
pavement, but in accordance with no
body's patent, has paid seventy-three
cents a square yard. OF the two, the
New Haven pavement is the better.
These figures show that Bridgeport
has paid eighty-two cents a square
yard. for thousands Of yards of pave
ment, in excess of what it was neces-
sary to pay.
The very natural question to ask is,
why was st done?" We leave that
for our readers to answer.
