ROADS
GOOD HIGHWAYS SAVED PARIS
Example of French Capital Cited to
Press Home Plan of Improved
Roads In This Country.

The congestion of traffic which has
lions and Industrial and commercial
activity during the last few months
has emphasized to all the vital impor-
lance of good roads. The shortage of
freight cars has caused the govern
ment to recommend the use of motor
trucks for handling freight on short
hauls, In order to save freight-car
equipment for long hauls. Freight can
not be successfully handled by motor
trucks without good roads.
There is also growing tendency on
the part of manufacturers and whole
salers to have their statesmen travel by
automobile instead of by railroad
trains, writes G. S. Rieman, president
of a large motorcar concern, in Chi
cago Post This also further helps to
solve the traffic problem. But the ex-
tensive use of trucks for cross-country
hauling and of passenger automobiles
by statesmen and others, instead of
travelling by train, will depend to a
large extent upon road conditions.
1t also occurs to me that since our
transportation facilities have been so
seriously overtaxed by extra traffic re-
sulting from our war preparations to
date, the enormous increase in war
activities for which preparations are
now being made will result in further
serious delays, unless large portion
of the traffic can be handled by motor
trucks. In order to appreciate the inn
portance of good roads from military
We have only to recall the
fact that in all probability Paris would
have been captured by the German
army in their first great drive had it
not been that the excellent French
roads permitted the quick concen-
trating of French troops by means of
passenger automobiles
and taxicabs, which played so impor-
tant a part in helping out the French
railroad system.
The prosperity of any country and
the advance of civilization are always

Are the Packers Profiteers?
Plain Facts About the Meat Business

The Federal Trade Commission in its recent report
profits stated that the five large packers have been
proeering and that they have monopoly of the market
These conclusions, fair and just matters of serious
not only to those engaged in the meat packing
business but to every other citizen of country
The figures given profits misleading and the state
that the packers have monopoly unsupported by
the facts.
The packers mentioned the report ready prove
their profits reasonable and necessary.
The business is of the largest American indus
tries Any citizen who would famiarze himself with its
details must be prepared for large totals.
The report ates that the aggregate profits of four large
packers were $40 oOO0 900 for the three years.
This sum is compared with $19,ooo,ooo the average
profit for the three years before the making it
appear that the war profit $121 100000 greater than
the pre-war profit
This compares threeyear profit with oneyear prof-a
manifesty unfair method of comparison 1t snot only
misleading but the Federal Trade Commission apparently
has made mistake in the figures themselves
The aggregate three-year profits Of s140o0o0oo was
earned on sales of four and half billion dollars 1t
means about three each dollar of salesor mere
fraction of a cent per pound OF product.
Packers profits are negligible factor in prices Of live
stock and meats No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit.
Furthermore-and this is very important-only small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has put back into the businesses It had to
be- as you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had soye-and solve quickydurng these
war years.
To conduct this business in times with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two or three times the former
prices for live stock has required the use Of two OF three

number and Importance of other packers.
The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to
prove to any far-minded person that they in keen
competition with each other and that they have power
to manipulate prices.
If this not true they would not dare to make this
positive statement.
Furthermore government figures show that the five large
packers mentioned in the report account for only about
one-third of the meat business of the country
They wish possible to interest you the details Of
their business OF how for instance they sell dressed
beef for less than the cost of the live ANIMAL owing to
utilization of byproducts and of the wonderful story Of

the morning twilight chased the gloom
Of night away. One could read out
Of doors until after eleven o'clock.
These long days, with scarcely any
night, force vegetation to grow at
dollhouse pace. Land and water have
no time to cool. Summer comes in
this strange land with a sudden burst
of flowers. sunlight and birds.
Finland is land of pine and fir
clad hills. for only comparatively
small portion seems to he cleared.
The most of the country is fairly level,
so that 1t has not the grandeur Of the
Scandinavian kingdom. In the cleared
portions stand neat little wooden cot
tages, which are usually kept freshly
painted, red being the favorite color.
Surface drain bitches are made in the
cultivated fields every few rods. and

Helsingfors. the capital Of Finland.
is one of the interesting towns OF
Europe. Water seems to surround il
on every side. 1t dates back to 1850,
when 1t was founded by the Swedish
king Gustavus Vasa, and the liberties
of town were Immediately conferred
upon the little hamlet as a special ia.
vor. From the water side II is pro-
tected by the great fortress Of Svea-
borg. which is called the "Gibraltar Of
| the Baltic" and of which one OCCASION
ally reads In the news dispatches. The
highest point In Helsingfors Is crown
| ed by n great and imposing Lutheran
church. and the majority of the Films
are adherents OF this faith.
Scenes In Helsinofors.
Through the center of Helsingfoi-
| runs great boulevard. known as the
! Esplanade- Gatan, and this is the center
| OF life in summer. The schools close
| for these months and everybody en-.
| joys one long holiday SO far as pos
sible. One day seems almost to melt
into another. The young women one
| sees in Helsingfnrs are of the blue
| eyed, flaxen-haired type for the Swed.
ish type seems TO prevail here. Young
| girls, almost to the end Of their teens,
wear their hair in two flaXen braids
| that hang down the back. They have
the same social freedom as their sis.
ters on this side Of the Atlantic.
The market OF Helsingfors is an en
cellent place to study the Firms and
their characteristics. From all over
the surrounding country the peasants
drive into the towns with their pro-
| duce, and sell II direct to the townfolk.
| A small farmer may have killed a
sheep or pig, and may be observed
driving keen bargain for the best

butter covered with layer OF grass to
keep it cool. Under old cotton umbrel.

The housewives or maids pass from
one stall or boat to another, inspecting
