Longears, the bunny rabbit gentleman,
was hopping along through the woods,
wondering how long it would be until
the grass would grow grcener and the
flowers come up, al OF a sudden he

started to hop across the field to the
trees.

my leg and | cant get loose!' Uncle

Uncle Wiggily stopped, hid behind a

saw nothing of the Pipsisewah, but he
did see something black fluttering from
one of the tree branches.

fers the federal government the great
est possible opportunity TO make
practical use of information gathered
at a tremendous price in war times.
THE problem is a national problem
and an urban one. due TO the RAPID e1-
mansion of the urban population In

than that of the rural population, AZ

there was a shortage of homes. which
was greatly augmented by the sudden
cessation of building during the war

ticaIly the only country engaged in
the war which has not taken definite
steps to relieve the vital housing
problem and to study living condi-

NO reason why there should be further

Care In Planning Earth Roads.


In view of the present widespread
sctivity in every form of road build
ing, and since nearly all public roads
are laid out originally as earth roads,
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agricul-
tureture emphasizes the bearing that
the location and design of dirt roads
have on future highway improve
ment In locating and designing
public roads the following considera-
tons should be borne in mind:
Sharp curves should be avoided
because they are a menace to traffic.
The width should be ample for We
hicles to pass each other without leav-
ing the travelled way,
II road ever becomes of any con-
siderable importance. its users proba-
bly, will demand that all the sleeper
grades be reduced to the lowest maxi
mum that would conform to the gen
eral topography of the region which
the road traverses.
Let the road planners remember
that aside from the advantages to
traffic of short route, each mile of
additional road involves a considera-
BILE extra yearly expense for mainten-
ance. and this alone may warrant the
extra expense of shortening the route
when the road is constructed. pro-
vided that the decrease in distance
does not materially increase the steep
ness of the grades.
Land lines should be regarded only
I'm so far as this may be done with
out decreasing the usefulness OF the
road or increasing the ultimate cost.
The pleasing features of the route
should not be overlooked. Remem-
Der that large part of the travel
on most country roads is for pleasure.
Avoid the necessity for subsequent
changes in location. Such changes
nearly always work hardships on
some of those who have built homes
along the original highway.
