| ing.
The extensive use OF motortrucks
for transportation during war time has
emphasized the possibilities of we'll
built roads as means of marketing
farm and other products. Solving road
problems when there was constant
procession of heavily loaded trucks
travelling over them has been a great
lesson to road officials, which will be
put to good use in peace times.
The federal aid road-building pro-
gram for this year Is the most stu
| pendous In the history of the world.
The expenditures for road construction
for the year are likely to reach $780,
100000. Plans have been made for the
construction of continuous highway
systems, the states through which the
highways are to pass cooperating with
each other as never before. Improved
| roads will not terminate at state lines,
but will run from one large marketing
center to another.
| Free Trucks, Added Appropriations.
More than $45,000,000 worth Of mo.
| tortrucks, to be used in road construc-
ton work, will be distributed By the
secretary of agriculture through the
bureau of public roads to the state
highway departments. These trucks,
about 10000 in number, have been de-
clared surplus by the war department,
| and all that the states must do to ac-
quife them Is to pay the loading and
freight charges. The trucks range in
capacity from two to five tons, 1900
Of them are new, and all are declared
to be In serviceable condition. They
viii be apportioned to the states only
upon request of the state highway de-
partments on the basis of q request re.
ceived from the respective states with
the apportionment provided in the fed
eral aid law approved in 1916. The
requirements of the law are such that
none Of the trucks will be distributed
to counties or individuals.
Further interest In the nationwide
need for good roads is shown by the
fact that shortly before the last ses-
sion Of congress adjourned that body
made an extra appropriation of $780,
100000 in the post office appropriation
bill to meet the federal part of the
bodybuilding program. This is the
largest appropriation ever made by any
government for similar purpose, say
road officials Of the department of ag-
riculture.

The man who never gets out of
sight of the tall buildings, as well as
the man who has yet to see city sky
scraper, should be booster for better
roads. Highways are used In trans
porting practically every article Of
Z food at some stage in its journey to
the consumers table. Bad roads add
to the cost Of transportation, but good
roads cut marketing cost.
From the time when farm products
were first hauled in wagons to markets
there, has been an interest in better
roads as means of reducing the cost
of transportation, but improved high
ways mean more now because Of the
extensive use of motortrucks In haul
ing products from the farm to the
railroad station or direct to the city
markets. Trucks are not only replac-
Ing horse transportation but in many
cases they are suppl ementing and even
doing the work of railroads. In fact,
/ motor trucks offer a solution ofNmod-
crn transportation problems. but roads
built only-for horse-drawn vehicles or
light automobiles will break down I'M,
der heavy motor traffic.
Maintenance of thousands of miles
Of roads SO that the enormous govern
ment and commercial truck traffic Of
the past two years could move has
taxed the abilities and called forth
every energy and plan on the part of
highway officials. In many states Off
Gals found themselves without suffi-
Gent funds to qndle properly the re-
pair and rebuilding work necessary.
Nearly aIl4vf them had to struggle nm
der the handicap of an insufficient Ia
Dor supply, and all had to meet the
Increased cost Of lcbor and material.
War Lessons Aid In Peace.
Only few states were unaffected
by the restrictions on the supply and
transportation Of materials which had
to be brought from distance. None
escaped the difficulties which followed
the great and rapid increase in traffic
ut this country's entrance into the
war. From New England to the Pa
cific coast new demands were made
upon the highways, and unusual con-
ditions developed everywhere In main
tenance and construction. In several
states high type roads, which had orig
inally been constructed without suffi-
Gent foundation to meet the new de-
mands, had to be rebuilt, and part of
this construction work was carried on

A very ingenious tool rack for fiat
tools may be made by boring a number
OF holes in board, each hole being
just large enough to take the head Of
a clothespin. Clothespins are then
driven into the holes and the cleft
ends are used to receive the tools. The
pins may be made secure by a small

clans examination and thorough one
including blood test. 1t will pay
parents and 1t will be profitable for
the state and nation to see that every
child is examined every year. By the
system of height and weight charts
sent out by the children's bureau, any
mother may know whether her :hild
approaches the normal or not and, If
underweight, he should be examined at
once.
Children need whole wheat. Other
cereals may be used for variety. They
need fat, particularly butterfat, which
contains the wonderful substance
which promotes growth. They should
have sugar in moderate quantities and
an abundance of fruit and fresh vege-
tables, especially those like spinach,
chard and lettuce, for in them also is
this life-promoting principle found in
milk, butter and cream.
Another food that well-nourished
child should have is the egg. Serve
one in some form daily for each child.
Then fruit of various kinds, orange
Juice particularly, are good for infants.
Prunes. figs, dates and raisIns when
well masticated or cooked, are most
wholesome for children. Apples, baked,
are especially good; bananas when
thoroughly ripe and scraped to free
them from the stringy fibers are also
good. As each fruit has some valuable
property in itself 1t Is wise to have a
variety. Children fed on prunes with
no other fruit will develop scurvy, so
that orange juice with potatoes is
recommended for that trouble. The
young child can take orange juice; the
older ones are able to take potatoes.
Fish. If fresh and carefully cooked,
Is food which may be given children
in place of meat. Poultry, If one can
afford 1t, is another good food for the
child. Cornmeal, mush, rice and pota-
toes onse day to young children are
all good foods, provided they are well
cooked.

Gasoline has a similar effect
on automobile tires. "Gas" eats

Great care should be exer-
cised in the use Of oil around a

not be allowed on the floors.
Spare tires should always be
