AUSTRALIANS IMPROVE
TRANSPORTATION ROADS

An excellent idea OF the effect Of the
Improvement of highways upon the i'm
port and export trade is conveyed in
a report made recently to the bureau
Of foreign and domestic commerce by
Consul William c. Magelssen, at Mel
bourne, Australia.
Mr.. Magelssen prefaces a report on
foreign markets for automobiles and
motor trucks by a statement of the
work now being done in highways con
struction by the Australian govern-
ment, 1t is particularly interesting to
note that special attention is paid to
the maintenance while main roads are
held under the jurisdiction of the gov
eminent, as they will be in this couu-
try when the Townsend Measure for
national highway system is passed. The
report is as follows:
Carrying out the provision of the
country roads act of 1912, the govern
ment has undertaken to borrow a sum
of 1000, 900 pounds $50, 7S0, 000), to be
expended over a period of five years at
the rate Of 400. 900 pounds per annum,
for the construction or main roads. The
cost of all work of construction is in
the first instance to be paid for by the
state government. but the municipal.
ties chiefly benefited are to refund
gradually over a period of 3h years,

he compiled BY experts-men who are
prepared 10 back up every statement by
solid facts. Every subject which viii
have q bearing on the new industry will
be studied and the results will be To-
cused upon the development OF the mo-
tor truck express upon broad-gauged,
substantial lines,
Some 80 local ship by truck bureaus
have already been established. Their
sphere OF usefulness is extending rapid
~. The Memphis bureau, although IL
has been opened only a short time, has
already received many inquiries from
shippers and motor truck operators. A
number Of new routes radiating out from
Memphis from 80 TO 100 miles and in
some cases even farther, will shortly be
In operation, according to the Firestone
branch manager here.
In the not far distant future he
said, I'VE may expect a vast network
OF interesting motor express routes
over the country. opening new avenues
of commerce hitherto incapable Of ade-
quate development. enabling the farmer
to market his products with speed, econ
omy and greater profit-also affording
consumers generally better food, in bet
ter condition and at better prices than
formerly. All the facilities Of the bureau
are open TO the public and we hope that
everybody win feel free TO make use
Of them"

TagIess Auto Worse
ThanBarrelI ofGrog

ATLANTA, Jan. 14-State automo-
bile inspectors are going to make a
special drive the next few weeks for
automobiles with numberless motors
Whenever they find car with such
a motor they are going to prosecute
tho owner, who commits felony by
having such a car in his possession.
A car with numberless motor is
worse than a barrel of liquor. Both
are violations of the law, but fellow
can manage, if he is quiet and doesn't
try the blind tiger business, to drink
up his liquor, whereas his car is a
white elephant on his hands.
The first act of an automobile thlef
is to deface or remove the motor num-
Der. Hence the Legislature passed a
special act providing that no license
shall be issued for a car without the
motor number being shown on the APP
plication. The law further provides
that it shall be felony to have IN
ones possession an automobile on
which the number is illegible.

Men and women of the better

as the Congo, if allowed to drift along
under Bolshevik control. 1t is hope
less to expect leadership in Russia
which will save the country from re-

BABIES TESTED
BY MILLIONS IN
u. S. CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, Jan 14-That the
new national consciousness of child
ren's needs developed by Children's
Year has begun to show permanent re-
suits is indicated in the annual re-
port of the Children's Bureau, U. s.
Department of Labor, which has Just
been made public. The campaign was
inaugurated with the beginning of the
second year of the war in an effort to
save babies lives and to raise the
standards for the health, education
and work of older children. The work
has been done in cooperation with the
child welfare committees of the Coun-
Gil of National Defense. 1T is impos-
sible" Miss Julia c. Lathrop, chief Of
the Childrens Bureau, writes, ''to
speak with too much appreciation of
the power of this great body of
volunteers.
Between six and seven million child
rem have been weighed and measured.
Many local committees have succeeded
in providing fOllow-up measures to
help parents in their endeavOrs to
remedy the many defects which
the tests have revealed. Scientific
diets have been prescribed for many
of the children whose examinations
indicated that they were under-nOur-
ished In number of places public
funds have been appropriated for per
manent work for children as a result
of the Children's Year, and many
health centers, prenatal clinims, trav-
cling clinics, and like measures for
the better care of children have been
established.
Through the weighing and measur-
ing tests, the report points out. gen
eral att entiOn has for the first time
been drawn to the needs of the child
of pre-school age, long known as the
neglected age" The claims of in
fants and the needs of mothers for
better prenatal and confinement care
have been given wide publicity by To-
cal committees working for healthier
childhood.
The older children have been given
special attention. In order to afford
older children opportunity to gauge
their physical development tests Of
physical efficiency were made part Of
the recreation drive, held in the sum
mer The drive included many other
features, planned with the purpose of
giving boys and girls a chance to
develop wholesome interests and play
under healthy, decent conditions.
The present drive of Children's Year
is the Back-to-SchooI campaign. 1t is
now going forward in SO states, and is
an effort to get out of industry and
back to school the many young boys
and girls who left because Of war
conditions.
