| introduced a measure which
would provide for national high
way system of main trunk lines to
be constructed and forever main
tanned by the United States gov
eminent under the direction of a
federal highway commission and re-
curing as a basis for administra-
ton, scientific study into the prin-
cip1es governing highway transport
tation and construction.
"My purpose at that time was
simply to bring about country
wide discussion. So general was
the public interest that a great
many national, state and local or
CARNATIONS endorsed the principles
so enunciated, while many valuable
and constructive suggestions were
received. .....- e.,
Ask Farmers Help.
"These suggestions I have since
incorporated into bill which is
now once more before congress,
this time with the hope that an
aroused and enlightened public
sentiment may result in its trans
lation into law.
"a principle involved in this bill
may need statement in more de-
tail at this point, to meet certain
suggestions which have come, espe-
cialIy from the people of the farms
of the country. 1t is that by taking
over certain definite mileage of
highways in every state to be built
and maintained by the federal gov
eminent, the states and the local
tiles, will be given not only the in
centive and the example of we'll
built roads, but will also have saved
from their own expenses for such
construction the money needed to
build those equally needed market
roads, and at the same time will be
providing the across-state and inter-
state roads which makes every radi-
ating market road not only a
market road to its nearest market
point, but to the other greater
market centers.

contained in my measure, l would

Crossing the country during a
rainy period in a drive from Rock

enthusiastic admirer of his Nash

engine purrs along over the roads
and fairly eats up their steep grades.

able to cross the country from Iii

pioneers six months or more. We
have looked the country over from
the top of Pixies Peak, driving our
Nash to the top-an altitude of a.

the land of eternal sunshine-the
motorists paradise.

Dealers Enthusiasm for
Allen Cars on Increase

We've noticed a decided increase
in dealer enthusiasm since our deal
ers have had to drive their cars away
from the factory instead of shipping
by rail-" said R. G. Ewell, sales
manager of the Allen Motor COM
pany Of Columbus, 0.
"When first the shortage in ship
ping facilities was felt motor car
makers worried about the lack. They
have found, however. that there is no
better kind of introduction between
the product and the dealer than the
long driveway experience.
IF the car is = good performer,
the trip home from the factory will
fortify the dealer with selling enthu-
siasm such as he could not possibly
get from the short test rides or
dinarily made close to his sales
room"

Asserting that construction and
maintenance of the main highways
of the country will not only insure
the farmer travelable trunk roads
the year around, but will also release
state and county funds for the con-
struction of farm to market roads,
Senator Charles E. Townsend OF

him in securing the passage OF the
Townsend bill.
In a letter addressed to members
of the National Grange, Senator
Townsend says:
Few questions are of more far.
reaching importance to the people OF
the United States, none in my opir-
ion, to the people of the farms OF
the United States, than the question
of how best to efficiently and eco
nomically build roads which will
serve all interests. The remarkable
growth of motor transportation in
the past few years, and its still more
tremendous potentiality for the fu-
ture, the great necessity for inter
state roads no less than market
roads, has brought US to a point
where past procedure is no longer
sufficient. Large sums will newt
ably be expended on our highways
to make them useful for longer
periods and to decrease transporta-
ton costs. Every dollar so expended
must bring back a full dollars worth

The PIRATES
BY II. c. HAMILTON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Pittsburgh, June 25.-Afflicted with
injured athletes, Hugo Bezdek, man
ager Of the Pirates nevertheless has
been driving forward with club that
doesn't figure to stand higher than a
low place in the second division. Ma
tional leaguers have learned long
since that this football coach who
suddenly was catapulted into the big
leagues as a manager, is to be re-
spected, not only for his methods of
teaching men to play baseball, but
also for his strategy on the field.
That Bezdek is a shrewd judge of
baseball material is shown by the ad-
ditions he has made to the Pirates
since he took over the reins of gov
ernment laid down by Jimmy Gala
han. In southworth alone, to say
nothing of Cation and Boeckel, he has
added a man who can hit like a de.
mon and field well enough
Bezdeks best methods are devot-
cd to conditioning of athletes, all Of
which is well brought out in the form
shown by his pitching staff He has
the veteran Babe Adams pitching
like a colt, while Bullet Miller and
Wilbur Cooper are winning a great
share of the games they start.
Bezdek is we'll fortified for talent
His infield is the sparkling tribute
to his genius, built from Vic Safer at
first base, George Cutshaw at second,
Buster Cation at short and Boeckel at
third, he has a combination that is
very fast and composed of most pow
erful hitters
The outfield that holds Max Carey
of course, cannot be sneezed at. With
Casey Stengel and Southworth as
running mates, Max is boss of fine
gang of outer workmen.
The catching staff of the Pirates is
not strong and Bezdek has not been
able to put his full infield strength
into the field with rather disastrous
results at times. His team has been
in and out during the year winning
brilliantly at times, but woefully
failing at others. His constant appli-
cation to the rule he brought to the
league, howeyer,-that training will
make the athletes having it's eff
feet National leaguers fear the Pt
rates more than they are willing to

France and Germany.
Teams are also being picked and
trained for competitions in horseman-
ship, fencing, rowing, hand-grenade
