IMPROVED ROADS,

Good roads have of course gotten to the point where they are no longer an experiment. They have long since been found to be a necessity and no state can afford to neglect it's rArt in such work. The more there are the greater is the call for others. and it is realized that such investments are highly desirable.
 What they think of good roads down in Dallas county, Texas, is pretty conclusively shown by the fact that that county has voted by large majority a bond, issue of $6,500,000 for a belt line in that county which will consist of dozen roads radiating from Dallas to all sections and six in termediate roads connecting the ra- dial highways, calling in all for a to- tai of 332 miles of road with an ad- ditional hundred miles of feeder roads. And what that county is doing is in keeping with what the rest of the state is engaged in for $20. 900. 900 is being spent there on better roads.
 While it is recognized that good roads are of untold benefit to a state kee county in Wisconsin have set out to satisfy themselves that it pays and by an elaborate system of statistics based on a census of the traffic during the past four years 1t is figured that the improved roads of that county save s25,0o0 a day to those who use them. That is an appreciable item, and if that is the case in that county it can be appreciated that benefits of a similar character accrue elsewhere.
 The improved roads bring all sec tions of a state nearer. together. They shorten the distance between cities and they put the country in the back yard of the city. They have become such an important part of present day travel that we would not know how to get along without them -

 The decision of the French govern ment to preserve in their present con- dition selected sites along the western front and to prohibit any alteration will be welcomed by many who feared that the disfiguring and mercenary hands of the cafe proprietors, the sou venir sellers, the restauranteurs and the hotel keepers would obliterate his- toric- spots in their efforts to provide attractions for the coming throngs of tourists.
