SCOUT
Conducted by National Council of tho
Boy Scouts Of America)
SCOUTS DISPATCH BEARERS

George Creel, chairman Of the COM
mittee on public information, has ad-
dressed the following letter to the Boy
Scouts of America In appreciation Of
their services as dispatch bearers for
the government:
Dear Mr.. West-I wish to take this
opportunity to express to you my ap-
probation for the assistance the Boy
Scouts Of America have been to the
committee In Its work.
"Public opinion stands recognized as
a vital part Of national defense, a
mighty force In national attack. The
strength Of our firing line is not in
trench barrlcade alone, but has Its
source in the morale Of the civilian
population frola which the fighting
force Is drawn.
"As dispatch bearers the boy scouts
have carried the message Of our pres.
ldent to more than five million homes,
and as result Of the postcards en-
closed, the committee has filed near.
" two million requests for pamphlets
on the vital questions Of the war.
"The battle for public opinion has
been won. There is no organized dis.
loyalty. Individual disloyalty has been
isolated and marked down. We have
unity in the land today unexampled in
the history of this or any other nation.
1.-THE boy scouts have had their part
In winning this battle and they can do
muclf to help maintain the unity SO
essential to victory"

ed States department Of agriculture

tion. The distribution of the fish Is
under the direction of the federal food

SCOUTS IN TRANSPORT WORK.

That scouts can be relied upon for
any patriotic duty is shown by this let
ter from the general superintendent
Of the United States army transport
service. If there Is any place where
the order to "allow only Americans on
guard tonight" should be repeated, 1t
is on the docks from which our boys
board the ships for France. Here is
the letter to national headquarters
from Lieut.. Col. f. P. Jackson:
''In reference to telephone CONVEX
sation regarding boy scouts, I have
two employed in the supplies division,
army transport service, as f1essen-
gers. Their duties as messengers re-
Quire them very often to carry Off
clal documents Of confidential ma
ture from the various government Of
fees, piers, etc. l believe boy scouts
give more satisfactory services, due to
their training, and can be relied upon
to carry out strictly any instructions
given them"

GOOD ROADS 1919 PROGRAM
Michigan Starting on Greatest Era Of
Highway Construction In HE.
tory Of State.

Michigan Is going TO start on the
greatest era Of road building In the
states history, declares Edward N.
Hines, first vice president Of the De-
trolt Automobile club. Mr.. Hines adds
that Michigan highway constructors
have seen the folly of their ways In
building roads too narrow and Of types
not permanent. They will correct this
In the future.
Every citizen, including the farmer
business man, laboring man and the
resident Of the small town, sees the
need Of permanent highways, the case
being proven to them by wartime con-
dltiOns, according to Mr.. Hines. This
was brought about by the inadequate
freight and express service, the food
situation and the general need to con-
serve labor wherever feasible.
"Had the war continued" Mr.. Hines
stated, II had records Of projects for
building Of concrete roads In the state
that likely would have been put
through by the proper authorities In
Washington because Of their war ne
cessity, there being some 656,OOO
square yards. Other projects for con.
crete roads In Michigan financed by
the Covert act whose issues were sold
and the money not expended during the
past season, and direct tax levies
amounted to $4,000 square yards,
total for the state Of close to 100000
square yards. All of this will be built
In 1919 and In all probability this yard
age will be doubled by the time the
road construction work begins in the
spring.
wayne county's concrete roads
have stood the test since the United
States entered the world conflict. The
normal traffic, plus the enormous war
haulage by army trucks over concrete
roads seven, eight, nine and ten years
old, was handled satisfactorily and
the highways held up in perfect con.
dition. Eyes Of the road builders
throughout the country have been TO-
cused on Wayne county's roads and
the practical demonstration Of the
value Of permanent roads has been
proven here In the vicinity Of Detroit.
wayne, leader among the counties
of Michigan in mileage of improved
roads, asked for no county road tax
this year and will have to rely on the
money received from automobile IL
censes. Consequently 1919 will not APP
proximate previous years programs
because Of lack of funds to push the
work to the limit. We expect to get
more for a dollar In 1919, though, as

among the projects which will be
carried out next year are the follow

will be Of concrete, 20 feet wide. Belle
vllle-Romulus branch Of the Huron
River drive and Outer Belt drive is to
be finished. Delivery Of stock on this
job has already been started and will
be kept up as long as good weather
continues. Warren road, which will
be concreted to the Washtenaw coun-
ty line In time, Is to be taken care Of
by another road crew. This work will
go on until the 1919 funds are exhaust
ed. The Lahser road, from BEDFORD
north to the Oakland line, connecting
with the good road In Oakland county,
will also be completed.

to widening some of the main routes
and will maintain all the previously
built roads In a first-class condition"

course does good turn whenever he
finds an opportunity.
The scout executive Of Scranton,
Pa, became interested in a boy in q
nelghb0ring town who was at hos
pital for a serious bone operation.
He spent much time with the boy,
and when he passed his twelfth birth
day in the hospital, the scout executive
gave him the tenderfoot test.
Returning to his home town, scout,
this boy organized troop and now has
the whole town enthusiastic about
scouting. $50 shines a good deed In

Good roads are a public necessity

If every auto were destroyed, good

The walkout, set for A. M, did

the river waited in vain for cars.
The East river bridges were soon

throngs to Manhattan. Congestion
In the subway trains which were

Non-unton operators began pulling
