Sandy Lamb is no baby sheep.

Sandy Lamb is no baby sheep.
He bellies his name.
Fact is, he's an alleged automo

ports is the first official assistance
that it has received in its project,
In many states good roads have
been campaign slogans and many
governors and mayors have been
made or unmade according to thei-
ideas on this public question. The
war department in its official state
ment to the war camp community
service called attention to the po-
litical importance OF good roads
throughout the country.
1t is planned to establish a good
roads. day in the various states on
the days the transport convoy is
passing through them. The schools
will be closed as on a holiday and
the train will be welcomed along
the route by various civic organ
izations.
Because of the Importance OF
good roads the cross-continent
journey of the motor transport
convoy will not only interest the
efficiency and preparedness, but
will appeal to every business in
terest. Good roads mean good bus
mess. From a military standpoint
the necessity for good ocean-to-
ocean highways is incalculable.
The governors STATS of each
state will greet the motor train
and escort it from the eastern to
the western boundary os the state
line, where in turn it will be met
by the officials of the adjoining
state. When the convoy reaches
California at the western terminus
of the Lincoln highway, arrange
ments have been made for Cover
nor Hiram Johnson to preside over
the elaborate welcoming ceremony.
The military effect of the journey
will be even greater than the civic
lesson that it will teach. 1t will
demonstrate the practicability OF
getting a huge army across the
continent in 60 days.
1t is also proposed to have the
president OF the United States ded-
icate a tablet in Lafayette square
marking not only the starting
point of the cross continent army
jaunt. but also serving as the or
iginal point of all the national
highways in the country. The tab
let will consist of an engraved
map of the United States. All the
national highways, now and later
authorized, will be filled in il
gold.

Andalusia Resident Injured When
Machine Flies in Pieces from
Mysterious Cause.

Will M;ers and Roy Beaumont Of
Andalusia are brothers-in-Iaw .
Yesterday they came to town to-
gether, both swathe2 in first-aid
baEdages. No, they hadn't been
fighting. Neither had they been
mixed up in an automobile wreck
1t was no ordinary accident
which sent Miers away ftom home
looking for surgical attention. He
doesn't know exactly what happen
ed, and probably he never will.
Yesterday he was engaged in
separating the mornings milk,
using an ordinary hand separator
Suddenly it blew up and about a
score of pieces struck him in the
face and body. He was severely
lacerated and bruised, but not ser
iously hurt.
Cream separators have a number
of revolving discs, which make
about a thousand revolutions per
minute. Centrifugal force might
account for the accident, but Nj.
Miers is certain that there was
also a gas explosion. He has no
idea where the gas came from,
since there was nothing but fresh
milk in the machine and it was
fabricated with sperm oil.
The injuries to Mr.. Beaumont
were rather more serious. though
not sustained ir so peculiar a man
ner. He was giving a horse a dose
of medicine when a strap broke
and the tongue of a buckle struck
him in the eye. He may lose the
sight of the member.

Atlantic City, N. IA few
months ago Lieutenant Ormer
Lockyear thrilled The world with
lis daring feat of dropping from
one airplane $500 feet in the air
to the top of another plane a few
feet below. Just a few days ago
he overshadowed this feat by
standing on the top wing of a plane,
then jumping up to grasp a rope
ladder suspended from an airplane
above and climbing into the plane
above. All this happened $500 feet
above the earth at Atlantic City.
Most folk who read about Lock
years feat called him nut"
Lockyear denies he does the thrill
Iers simply to defy death and gain
publicity for himself. He says he
has one purpose in mind-tO boost
aviation. His feats in transferring
himself from one plane to another
show, he says, that fuel and sup
plies can be transferred in midai-
without stopping plane. This ac-
complishment will make nonstop
transcontinental flying possible, he
points out.
Lockyear modestly points out
that someone must be a pioneer in
certain phases and
gathering certain facts concerning
flying and that he is doing what he
does to contribute his part

THE BUSINESS BOOM

A few months ago sentiment as to
the business outlook was greatly di
vided. Many authorities took most
depressed view. They foresaw wide
spread unemployment, soldiers lying
around idle, the whole country torn
up by labor troubles and general un.
rest and perhaps revolutionary move
ments.
1t is marvellous how business is re-
adjusting itself after the strain of a
devastating war. Little is heard about
unemployment. The principal ques-
ton SO far is as to where the labor is
going to come from to harvest the
crops.
The big burst of confidence is evi.
denced in a pronounced stock market
advance. Evidently a lot of people
are willing to back up their hopes with
their money Leading financiers agree
that the outlook is promising for un'
usual prosperity. So business men
who are hesitating on account of their
doubts and fears, as so frequently
happens, are probably missing oppor-
tunities that others OF more hopeful
temperament will gather in. '''

ed champion of the forces opposed to
government ownership. r,rI s.S. 4,- :
Mr.. Dixon holds that, the principle
of government ownership is 'irrecon-
ciable with the spirit of American civ.
ilization; he holds it to be a wanton
violation of the rights of the individ-
ual, revolt against economic law, the
sanction of dangerous political ten
dency and the subversiOn of the ends
of just government. He maintains
that a democratic form of government
is unsuited to business undertakings
and points out that government own
eIShip would create an enormous class
of officeholders whose voting strength
would be serious menace to honest
and efficient administration.
Frank Dixon has long been recog-
nized as one of the foremost lecturers
on, social questions. He is not a
