 NEW YORK, May S.-Interest in to- days stock market concentrated to an unusual extent in rails, that division, especially coalers, receiving consistent support on indications of substantial increase of freight and passenger rates. Reading shared the honors of the session with United States Steel, those two stocks absorbing a preponderant percentage of the enlarged offerings, though moving in opposite directions. Reading scored an extreme advance Of four points to STA while stee: re- acted from it's new maximum of 103 7s to 1021s and closed at 103, a net loss of 4 of a point, trivial reversal in view of the enormous volume of profit taking.
 There was marked revival of ac- tivity in shippings, confined however to Marine preferred and Atlantic Gulf at gross gains of about 21s points while motors also strengthened.

NATIONWIDE BOOST is SEEN
All States Of Union Have AValled
Themselves Of Opportunity Of
fered by Government.

Prepared by the United states Depart
ment of Agriculture)
That the better roads movement Is
receiving a nationwide boost is shown
by the fact that all the states Of the
Union have availed themselves of the
opportunity Of participating in the
benefits OF the federal aid road act,
which appropriated $75,OOO,OOO for the
construction of post roads and S10,-
100000 for forest roads, according to
the report OF the director of the office
Of public roads and rural engineering,
United States department Of agricul-
ture. That the passage of the act has
stimulated road building is shown by
the fact that In 1916, there were ap-
proximately $41, 100000 Of state funds
expended for all highway purposes,
and II Is estimated that in the calendar
year 1917, the aggregate expenditures
of state funds for this purpose will be
at least $60,OO0,OOO. A number Of the
states have made specific appropria-
lions to meet federal aid dollar for dol
lar. Among these are New York, Ili-
nois, Michigan, Rhode Island, Nevada,
Iowa, Florida and Vermont.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took a real Burnley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened It to replace the
natural moisture driven off by t~oastinh
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette, n
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is moi
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improve'
meat, for example.-Adv.

is BIG FACTOR
Present War Has Found In Roads and
Motor Cars Means Of Moving
Great Numbers Of Men.

Two conditions Of civic life EN-
phasize the necessity for good roads.
One is war. The Roman roads were
built because Rome had vast armies
to move. The present European war
has kept thousands upon thousands
Of men busy In eastern Prussia and
western Poland building roads In ter
rltories where before there were only
swampy trails. Many Of the roads in
Belgium and northern France were
built during previous wars, when vast
armies must be moved quickly. so that
the present war has fO1nd in roads and
motorcars the means Of moving great
armies as never before. Good high
ways have made possible a rapid trans
pOrtation of troops which is astonish-
ing the entire world.

istering the act, has extended it's Or
ganizatiOn to provide the requisite ma
chinery. Ten district officers with an
engineer in charge have been estab-
llshed In as many areas.
Forty State Projects.
Under the provisions Of the act 40
states have submitted 1873 projects In
volving a total of approximately 1,730
miles, according to the secretary's re-
port. OF this number 1870, embrac-
ing 1882 miles and calling for an es-
tlmated expenditure including federal,
state and local funds of S7,947,114.50,
have been approved. These projects
involve federal funds to the extent OF
$3,455, 573.76, or 23.75 per cent Of the
total allotment, $14.550,000 to the
various states for the fiscal year 1917
and 1918. Six projects covering 40
miles have been disapproved. Agree
ments have been entered into or are
in the course of preparation In the case
of "a projects, %aggregating 1874 miles
and involving $19O,6OO.S4 of federal
funds and a total Of S2,225,944.74.
The full effect Of the federal aid
road act cannot be measured by any
comparison Of funds expended in 1915
and made available for 1917, as many
OF the legislatures did not meet until
early In the calendar year 1917. 1t is
significant, however, says the secre-
tary, that while the expenditure of
state funds In 1915 aggregated $40,-
100000 1t is estimated that the expendi-
ture Of state funds in 1917 will reach
approximately $4,000 900, or an in
crease Of nearly 80 per cent. These
funds are distinct from local expendi-
lures and indicate an advance In state
participation in highway work.

STATES SPEED oP-
GRAFTON OF FEDERAL
AID ROAD ACT.

Probably the most significant
result thus far of the operation
of the federal aid road act has
been the enactment by a num-
Der of state legislatures Of effec-
tive road laws. Legislative ac-
ton in some states was neces-
sary to meet the requirements
Of the federal act, but many Of
the states have gone further
and have recast their highway
|, policies. All the states have as
; sented to the provisions Of the
|. act-42 by their legislatures
. and six by their governors.
. Thirty-three had a highway de-
. partment within the meaning of
|. the act upon the date of its APP
|. proval; the remaining Is have
. since enacted legislation Great
. ing highway departments which
; comply with the terms Of the
, law. The highway departments
in IS states have been greatly
strengthened, specific approprla-
tons to meet the federal funds
|. have been made by ten, and
comprehensive maintenance leg
|, lslatiOn has been enacted in
nine states. FOrty-twO states
now have satisfactory mainten-
ance laws. Nearly all the states
have submitted definite schemes
or programs Of work for the en-
tire hve-year period covered by
the act, OF for the greater por-
ton Of it. The formulation Of
carefully prepared plans for the
) full period in advance Of con
struction tends to prevent waste

How the Federal Aid Road Is Admin

ResuIt-AnnusI Expenditure
Of $sOo,ooo,ooo Involved.

That is the policy which David F.
Houston, secretary Of agriculture, be-
lieves should be followed In highway
construction during the war. 1t neal
that road building in the United States
will be put on a war basis; that the
highway which is vitality important
from a military standpoint and for the
movement of commodities will receive
priority of consideration in projecting
programs of construction.
In carrying out the policy thus an
nounced there has been sent out by the
Office of public roads of the depart
ment of agriculture, schedule forms on
which the states are requested to set
forth their proposed federal aid work
for the 1918 working season. These
schedules call for a description of
each road, the character, quantity and
rail haul Of the materials to be used,
the probable cost, the amount of fed
eral funds desired, the specific purpose
Of the Improvement, its bearing upon
the war situation, and what effect a
delay Of the work until 1919 or later
would have. With the information
thus assembled and classified, an eff
cient road-construction program is as
sured. While It is impossible to make
any definite statement regarding the
transportation Of road materials, the
expectations are that the ~transporta-
ton situation will be improved and
that the shipment Of such materials
for essential projects al be made.
Expenditure Of s~sOo,ooo,oo0.
Road construction and maintenance
in the United States involve an annual
expenditure of some $3O0,O00,O00, and
there is scarcely a section Of the coun-
try that is not seriously affected by a
marked disturbance In road work.
In the administration of the federal
aid road act of July IL, 1919, which
provides for cooperation between the
federal government and the states In
the construction of rural post roads
and Of roads and trails within and
partly within the national forests,
very satisfactory progress has been
made by the department Of agricul-
ture, according to a recent report Of
Secretary Houston. The office OF pub

IMPORTANCE OF ROAD DRAGS
More to the Work Than Standing on
Implement Holding Relns over
Team Of Horses,

Perhaps the ease Of dragging the
road and the simplicity Of the King
road drag has been Overemphaslzed.
At any rate, there is more to road
dragging than standing on a drag and
holding the reins over a team Of
horses. And there is more to drag
building than merely plnnlng together
of the two slabs Of a split log. On the
other hand, almost any sort Of drlv-
ing down the road with the toughest
possible pair of slabs, slapped together
in any old way, will change the or
binary road for the better.
