OLD ROADS MADE NEW

Automobile truck and tourist traffic is stim-
ulatng the Improvement Of many OF the old
pixies and post roads which had been abandoned
or fallen into disrepar as the railroads develop
ed their keen competition with the stage coach.
One of the most interesting improvements of this
kind is the proposed completion Of the Old Ma
tional Pike highway laid out in 1920, and
planned to extend from the Potomac to the Mis-
sissippi.
Part of the old road is already in good con-
dition, but west of the Indiana line it deterior-
ates into stretches of badly-Worn macadam or
dirt which are impossible for great portion Of
the year.
The completion of this road under the fed
eral road act is interesting, both from the point
of it's history and because when completed it will
hold the record for length and cOstliness for
some time to come The pavement is to be mono
lithc brick and concrete and is to cost an aver
age sum Of $50, 900 per mile
Records have been kept in various locall-
ties of the amount of traffic over this old high
way in its present condition and it is found
to be approximately 700 motor and so horse
drawn vehicles per day, ordinarily, with about
20 motor trucks and 200 passenger automobiles
besides during the summer months.
There can be little doubt Of the wisdom OF
improving such main travelled road as this
Further investigation will disclose hundreds OF
such roads laid out by our fOrefathers, the i'm
portance of which to modern traffic is an eO-
ouent testimonial to the engineering foresight OF
those old rOad-builders.
California is not deeply interested in parti-
cular old post roads, but no state in the Union
has a keener interest in the good roads move
ment. 1t proposes to keep ahead of the good roads

SEES THE WORLD
SUBMERGED BY
IMMORTALITY

PARIS, SPIT. pa. Merriam, sec
retary Of the metal workers union,
created sensation at the labor feder-
alton convention in Lyons yesterday
by denouncing "the wave of immoral
ity which threatens to submerge all
classes Of society-the working class
more than any other"
NJ. Merriam ridiculed the preten-
tions of extremists in labor organiza-
tions who talked Of such plans as a
four hour day and said what or
ganized labor needed was to get to
work.
You talk of a revolutionary situa-
tion," he said, "but left to itself the
proletariat could accomplish nothing.
Idealism has foundercd under base ma
terial pre-occupations. Money is
everything. Nc one wants anything
but money. We must save the work
ing class from that wave of immor-
atty"

One fair war worker faces the loss
of 500 as a result of a wager that
she would kiss Gen. Pershing before

AS the expeditionary commander
was leaving hotel last night where
he had attended a function in his
honor a comely young woman who
had edged her way to the front of the
crowd surrounding the entrance made
a rush for him. Members of the gen
erals staff grabbed her, but not until
she had an arm around Gen. Perish

him.
Her act was a signal for a grand

DIR. MEAD'S CONFERENCE

DR.. EIWood Mead, the man who wrote the
greater portion of Secretary Lanes $500 100000
bill now before Congress, has called meeting
at Berkeley on October first to which all civic
organizations in addition to those directly in
terested in Imperial Valley, have been invited
The Board Of Supervisors, Irrigation Dis
trict board, ten delegates from the Farm Bu-
reau, American Legion Ell Centro Chamber Of
Commerce and probably some others will be
represented Before the Irrigation board decid-
ed to be present in body there developed some
opposition to sending delegates. Following the
decision of the board the other bodies quickly
fell into line and the valley is more united.
The attitude of the delegates seems to be
that no harm can come from the meeting and
much good may result. The entire delegation
will go to Berkeley ready to endorse any propos
ed legislation which will help the valley and to
fight any action which will unnecessarily delay
the passage Of the Ketner BILL
This is eminenty right If the valley can
profit by DR.. Mead's conference let the fullest
endorsement be given. On the other hand, if
Dr. Mead proposes a plan which in the judg-
ment of the delegations works injury to the
valley, directly or indirectly, the advantage of
having such a large and complete delegation on
the ground can be easily seen. Any such scheme
can be nipped in the bud.
Whatever happens at Berkeley, it is certain
the interests of the valley will be ably protected.

 And Grigsby, with frankness which is typical of him, admitted that he himself went to Nome in 1902 with carpetbag and was sworn in as United States district attorney.

NEVER AGAIN

To understand the French demand that any peace settlement must se- cure France against any future in- vasion by Germany, one must recog- nize certain historical facts, says an exchange, and continues:
 "One hundred years before Christ 3OO,000 Germans first invaded France. At AiXen-PrOvence they were stopped and defeated. They sued for peace and sWore they would never do it again. Sixty years afterward 24O,OOO Germans invaded the Jura districts of France. Six years later 100000 Germans invaded the territory be- tween the Mouse and the Disc. They were beaten. They swore they would never do it again.
 Sixty years before Christ the Ger mans invaded the left bank of the Rhine. Two hundred and thirty years after Christ the Germans in- vaded France. They were beaten. They sWore they would never do it again. Twenty years later another invasion, another defeat, another sol emn pledge never again" In 274 A. D. the Rhine basin was invaded by the Germans; in 275 Northeastern France. In 301 Langres was pillaged. The invaders were beaten and they sWOre "never again" In 351 they re- conquered the left bank of the Rhine In 354 they devasted Lyons, in 36O Besancon. In 364 they invaded and plundered Belgium.
 Here is the chronology of the sub- sequent invasions: 372, 382, 400, 40, 413, 800, 858, 97S, 1124, 1914, 1513, 1521, 1923, 1856, 1544, 1852, 1853, 1867, 1869, 1876, 1587, 1886, 1874, 1875, 17O7, 1708, 1744, 1792, 1793, 1874, 1915, 1870, 1914. Thirty-three invasions in a little over fifteen hundred years, an average of one invasion every fifteen years.
 "Whenever they were successful the Germans celebrated with un- speakable atrocities Whenever they were beaten they swore they would never do it again.
 'Le Matin, which prints the above statistics, recalls that three days be. fore the outbreak of the world war Herr Haase, the German Socialist leader, solemnly declared at Brussels that the German proletariat would oppose war to the utmost. Three days later Herr Haase voted for the war budget.
 -Four and a half years ago the Ger mans again invaded France. Again they were beaten. And now they swear they will never do it again.
