HUGE SUMS FOR
 ROAD BUILDING California to Go After the Lions Share in Bond
 Issue

Los Angeles, Cal, May n--A good lined in bonds for this sum to be sub- mitted to the people of California in the next state election. Chambers of Com merce, automobile clubs and commercial and civic organizations generally are ad- vocating the issue, which leads to the be- lief that the bonds will carry and place California in the lead of all states in the union in improving it's highway system.
 According to recent report of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, California and Texas, the two largest states, were tied for first place in road improvement plans. If the proposed $40,00o,0o0 is voted California easily will lead
 Already the state has spent $35 ,0o0, 900 for it's highways and in addition to this fund there are many county appropria- tions for road improvements.
 According to government figures, Texas will spend $2o GOO; West Virginia, s16,O 900; IoVa, s15,00o,ooo; New York, SIP, ,0oo, ,0o0; Illinois, 5000, GOO; Louisiana. s4,00o,00O; Colorado, $3,900,0oO; North Da- kota, s5,000,000,. all within the next F months
 The advantage of good roads is appre- ciated more each year in Southern Cali fornia, which took the initiative in the southwest and is credited with leading in highway systems in the country. Since the sign posting of the national old trails road by the Automobile club of Southern California, making easy the road for transcontinental auto parties, it is shown that since 1912 the number of autos com ing overland into Southern California in- creased from 113 to 4240 parties.

 "Over 60 per cent of us take our au = tomobiles constitutionals on the city pavements after the days work. We may move about, but we don't get out of the second hand air zone. We ride in the same old noises and the same old grime and smoke that we work iii.
 Hence, automobiling on city pave- ments brings little physical change and mighty little relaxation.
 Your automobile, if directed by an intelligent and thinking hand, is a health giver. No, I am not Dr. Munyon, healing the world or anything like that, but I assert on my oath, ana many will bear me out, that it is easler any time to take 50 barrels of fresh air than 50 barrels of cod liver oil into your system. And you can't get the fresh air that your lungs crave in a city. You must get into the country to get it and that is what the family automobile is for; to get you and the kiddies where the unfletcherized air circulates.

Germans Not Penitent

Herbert Corey, the war correspondent was the first American to enter Germany after the armistice. In the course of a 1200-n1ile trip through the defeated em- pire, he interviewed all kinds of German citizens. Their statements, he tells us in Everybody's, can be reduced to the fol- lowing formulas:
 There would have been no revolu- tion if Germany had been victorious.
 A winning war would have made Ger many the greatest country and the Kaiser the greatest man in the world
 The war was popular in Germany un- til September. Then it was discovered that the war was lost. As soon as that was fully realized the revolution fol- lowed.
 Ludendorff and von Tirpitz lost the war. They should be punished.
 C 'Ludendorffs error was the dissipa ton of our energies over too great a field. The offensive-of 191S.w was mistake.

KISSEL TALKS ON
 ROAD QUESTION Says People Must Cooper ate and Boost Better
 Roads

What will Americas poor roads cos! the public this year?" inquiries G. A. Kis- sel, president of the kissel Motor Car company.
 ''No matter how hard automobile and motor truck manufacturers work to de- velop their product to the highest point of mechanical efficiency and operating economy, that will help reduce the H. c. of l.. if every community does not inn prove it's roads over which goods, sup plies, foods, farm produce and other ne- cessities must be transported, then the people of thatrcommunity are responsible for part of the high cost to the con sumer of such goods.
 During the month of June the 1918 record winter wheat crop of over 900, 0o0,000 bushels will begin to move. The spring and early summer fruits and gar den produce will begin to appear at the markets-the first result of Americas in. creased manufacturing programme for do {. mestic and export consumption will be ready for transporting to shipping point ~-the nations building, expanding and de- veloping programme will be well under way.
 With the constantly increasing number of motor trucks being produced by the n1anufa acturers to meet American indus tries demand for rolling equipment-with thousands of expert drivers and mechan- ics of invaluable experience being re- leased from the army-with the hundreds of motor truck transportation, express and rural routes being formed--it would appear that the only weak link in this nationwide transportation chain is tha. of poor roads.
 Poor roads have proven to be the brakes on the wheel-the sand in the gears-of progress, creating chaos and stagnation in transportation and shipping.
 The people of the United States e1im- mated those conditions, that tended to slow up the pace on the way to Berlin. Are they going to stand for poor roads that slow up the industrial expansion of their own country? The percentage of increase in good roads and decrease in poor roads is the only answer worth while

1 submarine campaign Then he did not prosecute that campaign with sufficient vlgor to make success possible
 The Kaiser has talked too much He made enemies for Germany In the end ne proved coward and ran away He can never come back
 In all this there is no hint of peni- tehce Not one of the nnumerable men l talked with suggested that Germany had been in the wrong in 1914 This is of especial importance in view of the fact that many of them did admit in answer to questions, that Germany forced the war on the world. No one criticised the Ger- man methods in the war. Only one man of any prominence criticised them by iu direction. He attempted to explain them. Not one expressed the slightest regret for the sufferings of other nations"

Easter, instead of being established as a festival for a particular date of the year, was originally celebrated at time determined by the spring equinox. The date was finally established about the year 325 to be determined by the theo- retical date of the full moon that oc- CUTS nearest to the spring equinox. With very few exceptions, Easter is celebrated on the Sunday following the full moon which occurs on or about the Fist of March.

HOPES SMASHED FOR
EXTENDED VACATION
PLENTY OF COAL FOR PRESENT
NEEDS, SAYS PRESIDENT
E. H. LINDLEY

For the past several days stories
have been in circulation on the cam
pus to the effect that the University
would close shortly owing to a lack
of coal. These stories have been scat
tered so generally and are so enron
eous that the following statement was
given out by the Presidents office:
"The coal supply on hand is ample
for immediate needs. Our contract
with the coal companies provides for
continuous delivery. So far this de-
livery has not been interfered with
and it is not likely to be inasmuch as
the quality of coal used by the Uni
versity is not suitable for general use.
While the coal situation is critical and
there is need to conserve fuel, it is moi
anticipated that the University will be
hampered unless the situation takes a
decided turn for the worst"

Roll From Disabled
Soldiers.

Paris.-It was foregone conclusion
that the return Of state Of peace
would mean the end Of comparative
freedom from burglaries and armed
attacks on persons. Such crimes are
now alarmingly on the increase.
The other day an armed attack was
made in the holding up Of tramway
on the outskirts of the city.
Then there was a robbery at Havre,
recalling Bonnot-Garnier's methods.
Two culprits are now in the hands OF
the police, and they have given the
names of their two confederates. The
affair was briefly as follows:
Two railway employees were walk
ing down the line last Friday morning
with $4,000 as pay for the engine
drivers and other categories. They
were both disabled soldiers, one hav-
ing lost leg and the other an eye in
the war. The robbers, who had evil
IDENTIFY carefully prepared their coup,
lust as the latter reached level cross
ing. To knock them down and seize
the money bag was the work of an in
slant.
A gray motorcar was waiting by the
level, and the robbers were far down
the road before the victims could sum-
mon help. Information was brought
that a gray torpedo-bodied car had
stopped before little public house in
town, and that man in uniform had
left it carrying case such as is used
by railway pay officials.
