There Is an interesting story con-
nected with Lieut.. Commander Reads
entering the aviation branch of the
Navy.
He entered the Naval Academy when
sixteen years of age. Commander
Reads father had died. and Mrs Read
had three children to care for. Rear
Admiral Barker. retired at the time,
a brother of Mrs. Read. suggested
that Albert enter the Naval Acad-
envy Albert eagerly fell in with the
suggestion and Admiral Barker Sc
cured the appointment.
Young Albert took to the service
like a duck to the water. He gradu-
ated as one of the leaders of his class.
In 1908 he was appointed a midship-
man. and on June 4, 1904. began active
service and was attached to the
Massachusetts. In 1908 Read received
his commission as ensign, his com
mission as lieutenant in 1911. and last
year he received his present rating.
1t was in 1915 that Read began his
training as an air pilot, and he did
so in order that he might remain in
the Navy. At the time the personnel
Of commissioned officers was over
crowded. and Read. anxious to remain
in the Navy, asked for a transfer to
the newly organized aviation divi-
sion. for which men were wanted.

escape being placed on inactive duty.

years of age. He was born at Lyme,

wife and a fat-nsted six-months-old

GREAT ROAD BUILDING YEAR
Thousands of Miles of Improvement
Arranged and More Will
Surely Follow.

From the passage of the federal
aid road act to December 10, 1913,
755 projects were approved by the
secretary of agriculture. These
projects involve the improvement of
1867 miles Of public roads at total
estimated cost of S57, $50, 900, of which
the federal government has been re-
quested to contribute $21, 602,O 600.
There have been actually completed
to date twelve projects, involving
total of fifty-one miles of road, cost
ing approximately $617,548, and on
which federal aid in the amount of
$260,66019 was paid.
Altogether there are more than
1900 miles of road, for which most
OF the steps preliminary to construc-
ton have been taken so fir as the
bureau of public roads is concerned.
Numerous other projects not yet re-
ported to the department have been
completed or are under construction,
so that the sum total of the road
work now in progress under federal
aid is greater than appears in this
summary.
From Florida to Maine, through the
North to the Pacific coast and down
to Mexico road building work IS 60
ing on. Every state has accepted Its
contribution from the government,
and wlile no organized effort has
been made along those lines to the
present time, the states are working
gradually to the system of national
highways.
Coupled with plans already out
lined for expenditures on the roads
is the legislative program now before
congress, which provides for $780,
100000 to be expended over a period
Of seven years by federal aid. 1t is
estimated that in the event of the
passage of this bill, which would
