Patriotic Work.

There is one thing, at least, that War
Savings stamps have done for the small
boy and girl. They have stopped that
mania for collection that used to seize
tie children OF the household. Before
the war it used to be butterflies or
birds nests or postage stamps or pos
tul cards or anything that came in the
likeness of all things human; dolls,
dishes and violins. But now, when %
pennies equals one Thrift Stamp and

ROADS
ECONOMY IN GOOD HIGHWAYS
Good Demonstration Made by Motor
truck Firm in Practical Test
Quite Recently.

At its meeting In Chicago the
United States Chamber of Commerce
adopted a resolution that the govern
Inent, through the president and the
director general Of railroads, be petit
toned, among other things, to "com-
plete trunk highways for heavy traffic
where they can be used in relieving
railroad congestion" Note the phrase
"heavy traffic'-which calls, not mere
ly for graded highway rights of way,
but for hard surface, cement, asphalt
or brick roadbeds capable of sustain
ing the heaviest trucks and dependable
in all sorts Of weather.
The day is coming-in fact, It is
here-when such highways are almost
an absolute necessity. In some Sec
tons of the country, due to railroad
inadequacy to meet the traffic de-
mands, paved cross-country highways
are Indispensable to commerce and
community prosperity.
