NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Expert at National Capital illustrates
How Scheme Is to Be Brought
to Successful End.

The establishment of a national sys-
by the federal aid road law, which
compels all the states that would share
In It's 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-
lishment of national system of high
ways.
BY way Of illustrating how a na-
tionai 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
a 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 q system of ma
tional highways.
"This 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:
81. 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.
so. A system thus selected would be
approved by congress-, with the re-
quirement that federal funds be APP
piled only to such system on and after
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

the daytime, and then at night they
shoot at the same range"
Charlie Brown and his escort had
not talked long before Guy Falconer
came out Of his abstraction. He raised
his head all at once and looked inquir-
ingly at the civilian. Then he jumped
up and approached Charlie with out
stretched hand.
Il thought l recognized that voicew
he exclaimed. do you remember me,
Charlie Brown"
Hello, Guyw the delighted Ameri-
can cried, 80 you did come over
to the front, after all? Didn't I say
you would?"
"Yes! / came over with the first
batch-bribed the recruiting sergeant!
And here / am! But what are
you doing at the front?"
Charlie explained how he had fallen
into the hands of the Germans, how
they had set him free and started him
toward Brussels. But his rebellious
nature had revolted; and having hid
den by day and Travelled by night. he
had made straight for the place where
he understood the British to be in
trenched.
Mr.. Brown had scarcely finished his
brief recital when there followed an
ominous whistle, which seemed to
come from over his head. or in the
distance there was fash and an ex-
plosion.

"Oh, just one of our shells travelling

"That will probably start their eve

"They needn't hurry on my ac-
count" Charlie said.
For a few minutes they stood there,
discussing the war. 81

asked. There's no individual hatred
no great, soul-stirring emotional
crisis behind 1t ALL"
"But England was forced into It,"
Captain Montague interposed.
"And 1 dare say France and Russia
and Austria all feel they were forced
into 1t, too" Charlie replied. 'sThat's
the whole trouble. Each nation be-
lieves honestly that it's in the right,

told him.
AS they talked, doctor, accompa-
MED by two stretcher bearers, en-
tered the trench, and, finding that
there was no need for their services
in that quarter, they passed on.

CHAPTER XXI.
a Meeting In the rrenches.

Charlie Brown had gone, and Cap
tain Montague had ordered his men to
place Guy upon heap of straw, where
he must lie until the doctor came. In
Trench u an atmosphere of sadness
had succeeded the air of light-hearted
carelessness that Charlie Brown had
found when he arrived there. The
candle still fickered upon the table
round which the poker players had
lately sat. But all thought of that
frivolous game had vanished from
their minds. 1t was not that they had
not already seen many of their men
shot down. But Guy Falconer had
quickly endeared himself to all-offi-
GERS and enlisted men alike. And now
that he had received his billet, In the
German bullet, there was not one soul
in Trench q that was not both sobered
and sad.
But they had little time to bestow
upon contemplation of wars horrors.
Five minutes had scarcely elapsed
after Charlie Browns departure when
a sergeant appeared, holding a prisoner
Wy tnC
1t was Streetman-that prisoner.
And he was far from presenting the
1aunty figure that usually distin-
guished him. His clothlng-ciyilian
clothing-was badly torn, his face was
scratched and dirty, and his right arm
was IN a sling. The mans hat was
gone, too.
The sergeant reported to his captain
that while on patrol duty he had
caught the fellow skulking around.
HE came from the German lines"
he said.
Captain Montague held the candle to
Etreetman's face. 81
And in civilians clothes! A SPY,
shY' he exclaimed.
"No. no, captain! An Englishman-
a loyal Englishman!" Streetman pro-
tested.
They searched him; but found moth

TRANSPORTATION SITUATION.

Hon. Jeanette Rankin, member of
congress from Montana, writing in the
Chicago Herald on the federal food bill
and it's prohibition amendment, empha-
sizes very forcefully the transporta-
ton side of this economic problem.
We quote:
"The converting of grains into food
products instead of into liquor would
not stop In it's beneficial results with
the mere increase in food supplies. 1t
would touch the heart of n problem Of
food distribution which has been long
begging for solution.
"For years we have known that the
reason produce was rotting In the
fields in one part of the country while
Ing In another part OF the country, was
because transportation facilities were
Inadequate to transfer all available
food from its source of production to
the consumer.
According to the United States sta
istics abstract for 1915, there are In
his country 2,356,33S freight cars.
There were consumed In this country
n 1916 almost 100000 carloads Of
liquor, including more than $4,000 car
Dads of wine and spurious liquors and
more than 100000 carloads of beer.
"Of course, much of this liquor was
consumed in the same locality In which
t was produced. so that perhaps one
third of 1t, or even one-half of il, never
necessitated the use Of freight cars for
conveyance. But it is conservative to
estimate that the transportation of

knife campaign which the women of
the country have been urged to wage
IN the interests of the war.
"Inasmuch as the production of beer
n this country has occupied just ten
times the bulk of spurious liquors
and wines, the exemption of beer and
light wines from the prohibition regu-
'ations would mean that less than one
eighth Of the possibly available freight
cars Ito say nothing of the grains
used would be released for food trans

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 farm ?"
Is the question with which many men
dismiss from their minds the story of
some poverty-stricken 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 schools? 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 will make the
country better place in which to live.

BREWERS WASTING GRAIN.

Barley mixed In the bread makes a
bread which has as fine a texture as
wheat. And would enable us
to release just exactly that quantity of
wheat. There is certain de-
duction from the barley-the total
barley used in brewing-to account for
the malt which is given back to the
feed, but even then there is large
margin of saving If the brewing could
be cut out. The difference be-
tween the feeding value and the fod-
der and the intake of the breweries In
grains means just that much more
foodstuffs to our allies. We
could save from 50,00O,OOO to 6O,OO0,.
900 bushels Of grain on the brewing
side after having allowed for the fod-
der proposition, and that grain is of
almost value to our allies.-Herbert
