BIG ROAD. PROBLEM /.

From one end of this nation to
the other the coming few years
will probably see more money
spent for highway, construction
than ever before in all history.
This is due principally to the adj
vent of the automobile. The
spread of the use of the auto is
one of the marvels of the age,and
its wake has followed. a, demand
for better roads that is culminat-
ing in the. greatest program for
highway improvement that has
ever been seen. It is a certainty
that the, nation, the states, the
counties and the cities will make
up budgets this year that will call
foraspending more: than a billion
dollars in ,theimmediate FUTURE
Numerous are the situations!
that arise out of the spread of the
USE of thesanto and the building
of-roads. Already in the cities
the use of the auto has cut into.
the electric lines. Likewise the
railroads have felt the effects of
thiscompetition in the passenger
business. The construction inn
proved, roads. means that the
freight and express business, of the
steam,and electric lines will be hit
especially on theshort hauls.
So while many things are being
done in this world the. extension
lof the highways is something that
should not be overlooked! twill

activities and is destined to bring
about great change in numer-

MOTHERS MUST NOT Die,
SAYS THE RED CROSS

Sixteen thousand mothers die in
childbirth every year in the United
States of America, more than are thus
sacrificed in any other country Of i'm
portance in the civilized world. The
American Red Cross has announced
its belief that these mothers, the very
flower of the womanhood of America
and heroines every one, shall no longer
die through ignorance or neglect, if
the public health nursing resources Of
the country can possibly be extended
to give them the necessary care. This
is one of the reasons for the Third
Red Cross Roll Call which begins Sun
day, November 2.

MERCY WOMEN PRODUCE
FORTUNE IN GARMENTS

More than 100000 women and girls
participated in the sewing and knit
ting OF the American Red Cross dur
ing the war. Most of these worker
will be active in soliciting members
for the Red Cross for 1920, during
the ten days ending Armistice Day.
When it is remembered that these
women and girls in two years time
produced nearly $100,000,0 600 worth of
surgical articles and garments, includ
ing more than 375,000,000 surgical
dressings, the fact that they are to
assist in the Roll Call is practical
assurance that universal membership
will be achieved.
