MEET DEMANDS OF TRAFFIC
Construction of Freak Highways
Should Be Stopped-Permanency

J. J.. Hill, In a speech in Mime
apoiis. January ., 1910. said: IF the
problem of the railroad terminals be
neglected for the next five years as
it has for the last ten, it will blight
every form of activity by paralyzing
the whole trade"
w. G. Brown, president of the New
York Central lines, said November 5,
1912: IF cars are kept in motion at
the average speed of freight trains at
at present time, they would make on
the average four times the mileage
they do now. The trouble is the cars,
as a rule, are held longer to load and
unload than the time involved in the
actual movement Of the cars"-that is,
the terminal had the railroad by the
throat and was choking three-quarters
of its efficiency out of it. The predic-
ton of Hill was absolutely correct.

road transportation had already set In

Million Homes
Needed in u. S.

and high cost of materials prevented
the construction of houses which the
natural growth Of population rendered
necessary. Then came Secretary Me-
Adoo's appeal for the restriction OF
building operations TO a minimum dsir-
ing the war. For a time building vir-
tuaily stopped. Funds that otherwise
might have gone into homes. business
blocks. end factories were invested in
Liberty bonds.
Nor have some of the causes which
checked building operations disappear
ed with the war. Materials are al
most rs scarce and in many cases more
costly than they were during the strug-
Gle. Whatever reduction of wages
may have occurred in some OF the
countries, there is none In the United
States. and as a result there appears
to be no definite program for the
prompt and speedy erection Of homes
In the United States.

their faces had been. Fed through
tubes and kept alive, have seen their
bits of skin stretched over
the raw places, which filed with new
flesh under careful treatment, and
finally they have gone out into the
world with new faces.
"There was one man, I remember,
who came in to us with his entire face
gone-nothing left but one eye. We fed
him through tube, built him a metal
jaw, fitted with teeth, and made him
look like a human being again, ex-
cept that he had no nose-only two
nostrils. We found him false nose
and pair Of spectacles attached, hid
ing the SCARED flesh around his miss
ing eye. and making him look so much
like another man that one would not
have glanced at him a second time
to note his deformity.
another man came to us with the
greater part of his face intact. but
with no nose. 1t had been shot on
completely, leaving his flesh fiat from
chin to forehead. We made him a
nose to at him. From the place where
his nose had Joined to his forehead
there hung little wisp Of skin. This
was pulled down, stretched every day,
and kept dry and healthy by an anti
septic powder. Finally 1t grew to the
correct length for nose. Then we
opened his wrist and grated q piece
Of bone to the place where his nose
should have been, binding arm and
face together until the operation was
completed. Then we adjusted the skin,
which filed out with healthy flesh. and
there was a new nose!"

good roads, not by tying up the motor

slower and with not over one-quar-
ter of load over the i-nIsrfect sur
faces, increasing the cost OF motor
truck transportation way beyond what
II ought TO be for what the motor
truck does. as Wen rs limiting the

been properly Constructed they would
have gone to the stock exchanges and

He was assaulted, says Levey,
by a 14-foot moa, class of beast
that had been generally sup
posed to be extinct.
Its color was light brown and
its body huge and bulky.
There were no signs OF wings,
the legs were dispropOrtionately
massive, almost elephantine. and
Z the three-toed feet were simply
ponderous."

The first important consideration in

Whatever is used let it be crisp and

next important step is the dressing.
The most delightful combinations may

The simplest of all dressings is the
