Carranza Aroused.

Washington, April 24.-Failure of
the allied powers to invite Mexico to
participate in the conference of neu-
trails at Paris has aroused President
Cafranza to bitter resentment, which
has been enhanced by the inootpora-
ton of recognition Of the Monroe
doctrine in the covent of the league of
nations without consultation with
Mexico. This was the explanation in
well informed quarters today of state
ments issued by the Mexican foreign
office yesterday disavowing adher-
ence to the Monroe doctrine.
1t was announced that the develop
ments We're not unexpected here, be-
cause Carranza had been awaiting an
opportunity to get his agents away
from Paris for the real reason that
he had been unable to secure recogni-
ton from either the French or the
British government.
1t was learned authoritiatively that
so far from according recognition, the
allied powers have made it clear to
Mexico that the Carranza govern
ment is looked upon with suspicion
because of its treatment of foreign
investors and its attitude toward
foreign nationals.

BE PROMPT AND.
AID WORKERS TO
WIN VICTORY

In these high pressure days of the
Victory loan drive, we are apt to for
get who is bearing, the heaviest load
in the deal. A thousand dollars a
day would not begin to pay for the
time of the busy men and women who
have been drafted to canvass the COM
munity for the sale of the Liberty
bonds. These good folks are not cali
ing on you because they want to-
neither are they putting in long siren
uous hours because they are not
needed in their own business. They
are making Il patriotic, sacrifice of
their time and energy for purely pa
triotic reasons, and those of us who
are permitted to stick to business
while they are giving their time,
should be glad to lift as much of the
burden from their shoulders as pos
sible; give them glad hand and
buy to the limit
The man who delays the game and
takes up valuable time criticiZing ev-
erybody in general, is indirectly turn
ing his back on the American flag.
There may have been Some mis-
takes and no wonder. for the men
who made them were SUBJECT to the
same limitations that the rest of us
are. We can thank our stars that
the responsibility was not up to us;
we might have done worse.

MOTOR TRUCKS
SHOW MARKED
INCREASE

Ten years ago the number of motor
trucks ia use was hut 5000. Today
there are between 10000 and 500
600, according to James p. Nash, Of
flee Engineer, State Highway Deart-
ment. Austin, Texas. There is no
reason why the number of trucks
should not increase in the same ra-
ton as in the past" says Mr.. Nash
II the number of motor trucks in
creases in the next ten years in the
same ratio as in the past ten years.
there would be over 22.000,000 motor
trucks in use in the United States by
1929, Mr.. Nash pointed out.
The motor truck should be regard
ed as a public utility, regardless Of
who operates it. The motor truck
came ito existence to set food and
supplies to people. To add to the
cost of motor transportation is to in
crease the cost of living.
The highways of the county are in
adequate for present needs. Their
capacity must be doubled to meet the
requirements of the next year or two
lMr. Nash states. Along what line
shall we provide this increase?" asks
r. E. Fulton, Vice President of the
international Motor Co., manufacture
erS OF Mack trucks. ''Shall we Gou-
bic the width of the road and increase
its first cost and maintenance 100
per cent? Or shall we provide a
road of sufficient strength to carry
vehicles of 100 per cent greater ca
pacity for given width of road, the
first cost of which would be only
10 to 20 per cent greater ped mile
than that of present roads. In view
of the fact that so per cent increase
in hauling capacity gives a reduc-
ton of Is per cent in transportation
costs, the latter seems the wisest
thing to do.
money spent to build roads ac-
cording to present standards is Mon
ey thrown away. We must build for
the future and estimate now what the
future demands"

The non-recognition of the Monroe

and the recall from Paris of Alberto

der the auspices OF the bureau OF

Mine disaster warnings were dis
cussed by b. o. Pickard OF Houghton,
district chief mining engineer OF the
United States bureau OF mines, who
laid emphasis upon the tendency OF
electrical apparatus TO become effec-
tive through the action of sand and
water. This discussion involved the
workings OF bell signals, whistles, au-
tomato shutting of OF and turning on
of the air supply and the flashing of
warning lights,
A "stench system" manipulated by
means OF chemicals introduced into
compressed air lines was described as
one of the best methods of conveying
safety warnings.
During the course of the meeting a
resolution setting forth the stand OF

THE COST OF POOR ROADS.

There is wonderful public inn
pulse in favor OF hard-surfaced roads.
There, however, may be few uncon-
WINGED, and these should be referred
to test which was made at Cleve-
land, Ohio. Five tow-ton White trucka
carrying full loads. were driven over
various kinds OF roads to determine
the mileage per gallon OF gasoline.
The result is given as follows: Earth
SIS; fair gravel, 17.9; good gravel,
9.39; fair bituminous macadam, 9.4S;
fair brick, 9.sS; good brick, l1.44;
concrete, 11.7S.
According to this test brick and
concrete pavements double the mile
age obtairs Bile from a gallon Of gaso-
line. Assuming the correctness OF
these figures. given out by cement
manufacturers, the argument in favor
OF hard-surfaced roads seems irresti-
ible. To illustrate, take 5000 miles
as the average yearly automobile
mileage and assume that half OF this
mileage will be over poor roads, aver
aging eight miles per gallon OF gaso-
line. Over hard-surfaced roads this
mileage will be doubled, saving $50
gallons of gasoline. At 23 cents per
gallon, the price in Illinois, this means
an annual saving Of $3.50 per car,
more than four times the amount of
any probable automobile tax.
This presentation does not consid-
err the indirect cost of poor roads
which far outweighs the other-The
