WHY FAMILY MOVED TO TOWN
Compelled to Make Change Because Of
Poor Schools and Bad Roads
Remedy for Poverty.

"Why don't they go on to a farm?"
is the question with which many men
dismiss from their minds the story OF
some poverty-strlcken family. The
chances are five to one that that same
family was Induced to move to town
because Of poor schools and poor roads
In the country. The remedy for much
Of the poverty now in our towns is
good roads and good schools in the
country. Why should not country
schools be given the same attention
given city and town schools1 Why
should not the children be permitted to
go to them over good roads with dry
feet, instead Of wading through mud
and water? Good roads win make the
country a better place in which to live.

NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Expert at National Capital illustrates
How Scheme ls TO BE Brought
to Successful End.

The establishment OF a national sys-
tenn Of highways is greatly facilitated
by the federal aid road law, which
compels all the states that would share
In Its benefits-and that means all of
the states-to equip themselves with
state highway departments. With these
state highway departments devoting
their attention to the building Of state
systems Of main, through-line high
ways, every condition is favorable for
the next and browning act-the estab-
llshment Of a national system Of high
ways.
BY way Of Illustrating how a ma
tional system Of highways is about to
be evolved by easy and logical stages,
an expert at the national capital made
the following statement:
Gradually the state has made itself
compelling factor in the handling of
local road problems and, as a logical
sequence, the federal government, first
through educational activity and later
by the financial aid provided by the
federal aid law, has made itself a
powerful factor In the working out of
the state highway problems. The next
logical step follows the same course
which has been pursued by the state
governments, namely, the broadening
of federal participation to provide for
the establishment Of a system of ma
tional highways.
"Thls policy can be put into effect
without disturbance Of existing organ
izations, without providing new means
Of finance and with but little change
in existing laws. The process would
logically take a course somewhat as
follows:
IL. The state highway departments
and the federal Office of public roads
would make an initial selection from
existing state highway systems of
those highways which are of interstate
Importance.
''2. A system thus selected would be
approved by congress, with the re-
quirement that federal funds be ap-
piled only to such system on and after
a specified date.
''3. The federal aid should be ex-
tended to maintenance as well as con-
struction, as the national system of
highways should have for all time a
close relationship with the federal gov
eminent.
Some Of the states already have
made plans for utilizing the aid grant
ed by the federal aid road act on roads
which could not properly be included
in a national system But this need

Inventors Have Unlimited opportunl-
ties to Think Out Death Dealing
Machines for Government

The statement is often made that
the war has developed no invention
Of military value. This, Of course,
is nonsense, says the Illustrated
World. Trench periscopes, gas bombs,
liquid fire apparatus, low visibility
stripping for warships, microphone
detectors for use on submarines, seis-
mographic detectors for hidden bat
terry locations, synchronism for rapid
fire guns and battle plane propellers,
the perfection of the submarine it.
self, are all examples.
There are a thousand little inven-
tons needed to help in ending the
war-things you or l might invent,
If we knew how.
For instance, a gun sight as eff
Gent as the telescope and as easy
to use as the open sight. A tele-
scope that can see around a corner.
A wireless field phone as efficient as
wired phone, a gas as deadly as
chlorine and as invisible as air which
can be cheaply and quickly pro-
duced and projected, ear protectors
which save men from the effects of
heavy gunfre without preventing or
binary hearing, a means for detect
ing the presence of submarine
mines without getting blown up in
the process, searchlight which will
project heat as efficiently as present
ones do light-imagine what such
device would mean in protection
from aerial raids. Imagine a
searchlight beam two miles up in the
air hot enough to set fire to anything
it played upon.
On such problems as these inven-
tors may work with the full knowl-
edge that if they really discover
something worth while they will do
an incalculable good to humanity
and, incidentally, feather their own
nests to the limit of their desires.

STALE EGG STARTED RIOT.

A stale egg caused riot at Port
land, Ore, the other day. Two men
were moving furniture, when a prac-
tical joker threw an egg at them. He
missed the men, but hit an uphol-
stored chair, leaving a splash of yel.
low upon it. The owner of the fur
niture then seized an ak, and ran at
an innocent stander-by. He seized
a stick, in defense, and presently the
fight became general, bricks being
freely thrown. Eventually two po-
icemen quelled it by using their
clubs.

there are already many Germans who

The question of patriotism is to cut
a big figure in the race for Congress
in the Eleventh district next year.
Judge j. M. Robinson, of Barbour
vile, seems to be generally agreed on
by the Republicans to take the meas
ure of Caleb Powers, who has an
nounced as a candidate for another
term in Congress. Judge Robinson
and Powers were at one time close
political allies, but they are now wide
apart. Powers who has been closely
canvassing his district for several
months, has aroused storm Of pro-
test over his criticisms Of the war and
the selective draft.
