NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Philadelphia Board Of Trade Asks Sec.
rotary Baker to Cooperate In
Construction.

The Philadelphia Board of Trade
has asked the cooperation of Secre-
tary of War Baker in obtaining a ma
tional system of highways to accommO-
date the large and growing motortruck
traffic. This method of transportation
has done much to solve the congestion
on the railroads, but men all over the
country agree that our crazy-quilt road
system has impaired the efficiency Of
the motortrucks at least 40 per cent.
1t is estimated that the 100000 motor
trucks In the country are used to only
60 per cent of their capacity; or, In
other words, II 2S0,0O0 motortrucks
were used to their full capacity we
would be obtaining as much service as
we are now getting out Of 100000.
At the last meeting of the Philadel-
phia Board of Trade, Miers Busch,
chairman Of the municipal affairs COM
mittee, advocated q national system Of
motor roads extending from Boston to
Washington, made Of concrete and
wide enough to accommodate four or
five lines Of vehicles. This report was

HAD NOT BROKEN PROMISE
Surely Small Boy Was Not to Blame
Because Others Thought the
Poker Was Hot.

A farmer, hearing commOtiOn at
the back of his house, hurried out to
find his little boy, armed with red
hot poker, enjoying himself immensely
by chasing some frightened farm la
borers round the yard.
After a severe lecture from his ia
Their the youngster promised that he
would never do it again.
A day or two later the same COM
motion was heard and the same youth
was found causing havoc with the
selfsame poker.
'How dare your" said the irate pa
rent.
But father" interrupted the
young culprit.
Don't but father me- sir!"
The youngster, however, convinced
of the satisfactory nature of his ex-
PLANTATION, would not be silenced.

ROADS KEPT IN GOOD REPAIR
Ten Thousand Miles Of Concrete Pave
ment Have Been Constructed In
the United States.

The amount Of concrete pavements
that have been constructed in the
United States-almost 100.O00,0OO
miles Of roads 1S feet wide-represent
a public Investment Of great value.
Because Of the advances In wages and
materials, the cost Of replacing these
roads would be much greater now
Than when originally constructed.
Therefore, there Is urgent need that
they be kept in the best possible con-
dition In order that they may render
perfect service.
If attention is given regularly very
little work is required to maintain
concrete pavements, and In this man
ner the danger of having to make
costly repairs later is avoided.
