Highway Commission Engl-
neer Says Details are
Being Worked Out
Mr.. SCOTT URGES
THE THRIFT HABIT

According 20 an address delivered by
Charles NJ Upham, chief engineer Of
the Stale Highway Commission. at "a
meeting Of the Mems Club Of Trinity
Episcopal Church in The rooms Of the
parish house last night, The state Of
Delaware must make arrangements in
the not distant future for adequately
taking care Of motor trucks for the
transportation Of freight and express
10 lien Of the congested condition Of
ailroad conditions.
such plans are now being worked
out, said the speaker. and as soon as
materials can be arranged for and The
Dads are IN shape the work will pro.
iced. beginning sometime in the spring
Mr. Upham said the state on Delaware
made efforts for road building as early
rs 1910, but that real success along that
line was not attained until about i1s5.
Roadways were not constructed IN
those early days. They were simply
highways" laid out for a certain dis
.3nce with adequate width and a sum
'ient number Of "turnouis.' he said
Mr.. Upham said that the contem-
plated roads should be constructed Of
sufficient strength 20 resist the truck
and their heavy loads.
Thrift stamps and miniature bonds
were explained by Harlan G. Scott He
said he United States faced a tremend-
rus responsibility and that there was
10 one else 20 borrow from but her
iiizens and that the outcome OF the
var depended upon America and her
leople.
The speaker said one Of the good re-
ults Of thrift stamps and certificates
would bring out the small investor
lud nculcaie a thrift habit among the
leople. Statistics. said Mr.. Scott show
d that the American people as q whole
we're not successful in financial mat
.srs, about one I'M 100 coming out right
side up and more than 30 per cent. be
ng dependent upon others for subsis-
ence in their old days
Thrift is one Df the great points of
success Of the French people Mr. Scott
said. Thrift there made possible the pay
nent Of 5.O0O0O0000 francs imposed by
Germany in 1870 ms result Of the
Franco-Prussian war American clii-
,ens will come 20 realize that thrift is
not slngness and that absence OF cN-
lravagance was not nieeardiy, Mr. Scott
declared
Chancellor Curtis presided at the meet
