millions of cruelty starved folk face
westward from every shore with
mouths open to the promise Of Amer
lea. These must be fed-and then
clothed-and also supplied with other
necessities of life. Our grand priv
lege is now here to restore life and
strength and hope to these martyred
brothers of hundred tongues.
Highways transport facilities at
the farmers gate and-at every farm

the initial phase of overseas distribu-
ton: must make a picture in the
farmers mind of the movement of
the products of his soil and labor from
his own gate thru to the distant points
of the world; to Europe, to Algiers,
to Athens and the Orient.
"The highways transport service is
the first step in the great system of
transportation to the sea and then on
the merchant marine to the far points
of the world.
GOOD must begin to move soon from
every hill, thru every valley of the
great country behind our shores, down
to the shipping points before we can
start our ships from the ports and full
fill our duty; and, with the promise of
the wars end before us, the highways
transport committees thruout this
land could and should render a peace
time service by stimulating highways
transport of nourishment and supplies
so badly needed. Routes and channels
from shipping points must be opened
up and efficiently maintained, and our
merchant marine must be built up to
meet the demands for distribution ov-
erseas.,
Resistance in any form to the free
movement of farm products must be
reduced and eliminated and the most
efficient utilization of man-power must
be introduced wherever possible.
:"The United States shipping board
urges that this message be carried
thru you and your regional chairman
to the state organizations and on down
thru your great body of patriotic men
whose vision can well embrace the
crying need of their brothers in other
lands crying for help" -.

Disliked Absent Treatment

"Even in the field hospitals close up
to the firing line in France they find
time for an occasional laugh" writes
Malcolm Adams, Of the Red Cross.
A party of wounded marines were
being taken to base hospital on a
much overcrowded motor truck. The
nurse accompanying them became anx-
ious about their wounds.
II hope I'm not hurting any of you,"
she said. " -
\ you're hurting me lot" replied
one of the soldiers.
"But I'm not any where near you,"
exclaimed the nurse Indignantly.
"That's what's hurting me-" was the
calm reply.

The answer to the question: Is 1t
true that the top of a wheel moves
faster than the bottom of the same?
1t depends. If it is wheel in some
factory revolving on shaft. the an
swer is no. But if it is wagon
wheel moving on a pavement, in one
sense, the answer is yes. In the
sense of rotating around the hub the
whole wheel goes at the same speed.
But in the sense of forward motion
along the road the point of the wheel
which is in contact with the earth is
at rest. That point is not moving
forward at all unless il is slipping
along. But the top of the wheel is
moving forward. 1t can be seen that
the top of the wheel does not come
to rest at all. 1t can be seen that the
bottom of the wheel does come to
rest on the road. Make chalk mark
on the rim of wheel and watch it
come down and rise again. You can
see that the chalk mark has no for
ward motion for an instant. II
comes down, stops an instant, and
rest on the road. Make chalk mark
and compare its forward motion with
that of the top of the wheel. You
can soon discover that the top is
moving faster forward than the hub:
it is moving forward twice as fast.
If you will draw line sloping slight
ly backward and anothe. from the
same point slightly forward. you will
see how it is that the top of the
wheel moves faster forward than the
hub moves
