SAW NEED OF GREAT HIGHWAY
Washington Long Urged Road Across
Country to Aid in Development
of the West.

If George Washington had continued
his early career as a surveyor and en-
gineer the development of the United
States might have been even more rap
i'd than it turned out to be. The pic
ture of the pioneer hewing his way
through forest growth and underbrush,
fording streams, and working his way
across mountains is one of our ira
ditions Of early American history, but
the husky pioneer breaking his way
alone was not Washington's idea of
what travel should be in these United
States.
Ruins of Washington's work as an
engineer may still be seen along the
banks of the middle Potomac, but his
greatest engineering plan never mate
rallied during his lifetime, though sew
eral of his illustrious compatriots gave
their enthusiastic approval of the
scheme.
This plan of Washington'S was a
quicker, surer route toward the West
to supersede the blaZed trail and foot
path. The government did not take
any steps toward the construction OF
so expensive a bit of road building I'M
I'll three years after Washington's
death For fifteen years work on the
road was under way, first on paper,
then with pick and shovel, and finally
the national road between Cumberland,
Maryland and Wheeling, w. Va, was
ready for service.
In the mind of the far-seeing Wash
ington, the highway had reached to the
shores Of the Mississippi-perhaps
even farther into the West. But the
government turned TO what it consid-
cred affairs of more pressing impor-
lance The national road passed into
the hands of the states directly con-
cerned. and in time became the Old
National road The development of
railroad and steamboat made a cross
country highway route no longer a
pressing necessity and the old road was
In danger of sinking to the level of a
dusty country roadway.
Just In time to save the Old Nation
al road from this semi-tragic fate came
the automobilist demanding good roads
with attractive scenery ranged along
side and a few spots of special inter,
est thrown in. To all these demands
the old road responded, and today it is
in high favor with the goggled ones
who coast recklessly down its gentle
slopes and speed through its villages

LEANED TO NEWSPAPER WORK

Andrew Carnegie In his early days

patch, he turned his talents in other
directions and finally became Americas
leading iron and steel manufacturer.
Robert Burns, on the other hand,
spurned efforts TO induce him to go In
to Journalism and thus made the way
clear for his becoming the most be-
loved Of Scottish bards. These points
were brought out In an address given
by William VIII, president of the Lon
don Burns club.
The first attempt to get Burns in the
newspaper line was when Peter Stuart
of the London Morning Post started the
Star. Burns declined TO give active
assistance in turning out the paper, al
though he occasionally contributed ar
ticles. Later James Perry. proprietor
of the London Morning Chronicle, Of

that his duties as an excise officer

not venture a prediction today as to
whether the craft which preyed upon
American coastwise shipping early
last week might still be lurking In wa

War as a LeVeIer.

With parents, limousines, chauffeurs,
a new recruit arrived at the training
camp, was registered, and assigned
quarters. The chauffeur caught up the
luggage. The officer held up re-
straining hand. "Mr. So-and-So is now
in the United States service; he will
attend to his own luggage and find his
own quarters" And thus, with no
more aid or ceremony than a brick
layer would have received, the son or
a man who could have bought the
camp and all its appurtenances enter
ed the American army. Not wealth,
but what a man proves himself to be,
places him as a soldier. Men start
on the same level, save when they
have had special training.
The work of the war in breaking
down class distinctions and occasion
ing the mingling Of classes on more
democratic terms has often been noted
abroad. The English assistant has
learned that Tommy Atkins possesses
