IMPROVED HIGHWAYS ARE
NECESSARY WAR WORK

That the entire force of the Ma
ton. to an extent as large asmaybe
needed shall be given directly to the
creation of war activities and the
things that make for the maintenance
of the supply Of food and munitions
is, of course, universally understood.
But this should not for a moment
initiate against road building and mu
nicipal Improvements that look to
health and better living conditions, or
to the other things which round out
national life and make it the stronger
and better able to produce and dis
tribute foodstuffs to maintain health
and to supplement by good roads the
steadily growing shortage in railroad
transportation.
These things are vital to national
life and the very maintenance of the
war. They are the essentials, not non
essentials. They are not like the un-
necessary furbelows of fashion the
shoes and jewelry which can, if nee
essary, and can be cut out to an adj
vantage in such a time; but these
hats and the bonnets and the fancy
foundation activities of the business
life of the country, rightly understood
should be vigorously and earnestly
followed up wherever road building
work or other work of this character
is needed, and that means to a large
extent throughout the entire coun-
try.
