FOR PROMOTING GOOD ROADS
Suggestion Made by Chairman DiehI
for Great National Congress to
Be Held In Washington.

"Unquestionably the time has ar.
rived for a great national road con-
gress to be held once a year in the
national capital under federal govern
ment direction" asserts George G.
Diehl, chairman of the American Au-
tomObile association good roads board.
"This gathering In Washington
would be under the auspices Of the
United States Office Of public roads
and rural engineering Of the depart
ment Of agriculture" continues Mr..
Diehl, "apd the event could be made
most comprehensive in it's scope; there
could be a complete exhibit of road
machinery and road materials; there
could be sample construction of vari-
Gus kinds Of highways; road schools
could be conducted for state, county
and town engineers, and various tech
meal phases Of the work could be set
forth by trained experts who would
gladly attend such a great %good-roads
event.
'"Then there would come the interre-
lated phases of road travel, and road
transportation. Undoubtedly the de-
partment of the interior, because of its
national parks, would set forth the
scenic attractions which are under
government supervision. Various states
would be given opportunity Of adver-
Using their attractions.
.., ~
"The good-roads board believes in
state highway conventions which are
generally called for a specific purpose
in the endeavor to concentrate the ef-
forts of road enthusiasts for definite
ends. These state meetings are of in
calculable value, for the state Is the
political subdivision which must carry
on by far the greatest burden Of future
road construction and maintenance.
with the vast amount of funds be-
ing expended throughout the country,
the government of the highway depart
ments is becoming largely a question
Of scientific management, and it is be-
lieved that If the county were the
smallest unit of administration greater
efficiency would result. The numerous
state good-roads meetings converged
into a great national congress once q
year, held in the national capital, it
is believed would be the best way of
handling the changed highway situa-
ton, and the government could proper

NEW ENGLAND'S PEACHES.
Plans for EquaIized Distribution This
 Year Over the Six States.

There is need of preventing waste of food. Knowing this and realizing the perishable nature of peaches, especially where they are ripened on the trees, plans have been worked out to equalize the distribution of the crop this year.
 Often in the past when peaches were plentiful in such centers as Hartford, and Springfield, more distant cities and towns had few or none. This fact also had great influence on prices to consumers. Connecticut housewives could buy them for less than $I bas- ket, while in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont one was obliged to pay $2 to $3.
 Better shipping schedules have been arranged this season. The distribution will also be governed by daily reports to marketing expert in the heart of the producing section. Shipments will be sent out regularly and with a view
Connecticut western news., 1917-08-23

to maintaining a steady full supply in each of the six states. This equalization of distribution will estabilize prices, so that consumers in the northern states may buy as cheaply as those in the southern states, plus the small differ. ence due to transportation.
 The peach season is brief. The fruit cannot be kept long after it leaves the trees, for it is then ripe. But the crop is large enough so that every house. wife in New England may have all she wants to preserve for winter use, and the prices this year will be quite req sonable.
