"Our policy should aim at direct

The government and the colonial

encourage the states to go ahead with
road construction, the need tor which,
while recognized by every progressive
, citizen, has been most forcefully
i brought to the attention during the
war. In addition to all the good-roa d
arguments advanced heretofore. we
must now add the important consid-
Grafton of their bearing on national
preparedness.
The Division of Public Works and
Construction Developments of the De-
partment of LABOR has reason to be-
lieye the recent conference of gov.
ernors and mayors in Washington re-
suited in a more thorough under
standing OF the necessity for and pru-
dence of liberal road-buiiding policies
throughout the country. The latest
information compiled by the division
showed eighteen states endeavoring to
increase their appropriations for road

Most of the foregoing was on March
dependent on state legislation or on
every instance, the propositions were
carried as planned. only a lesser por-
ton of the money would be available
this year, and. in some states, no e
would be available until after Novem-
Der Of 1920 The figures Indicate,
however, that the states are taking a
new interest in the road building
movement and further justify the pre-
diction that the next three years arc
to bring Unprecedented activities in
the improvement and extension Of
Americas road system.
II Is admitted in The Department of
Labor that present construction costs
are much higher than the prev n
level. In part this Ia accounted foi by
freight rates on road materials estab-
lished during the war to prevent si:e
movement Of these materials for work
other than government work. There
is every reason to believe these ra, es
will be revised at once. The effect 0f

Ono OF the most romantic characters
In history and one of tho greatest do

the Brucc-Robert LIST of Scotland.
Before his birth and during his early
youth. which IL said to have been pass
ed at the English court, there was
great discussion over the crown OF
Scotland. Such OF the discussion as
he heard and understood, must have
impressed him greatly, for tho he sup
ported Edward against Scotland In the
beginning. when he was mature enough
to think for himself, he sided with his
country. against Edward the First.
He was giving up a sure title and
lands In England for the doubtful
chance Of a Scottish throne. This de-
cision ends tho first chapter of his life.
The second covers the years In which
he fought for and finally obtained
Scotch freedom. And its most exciting
episode Is the battle of Bannockburn,
which. fortunately, is preserved in
great detail. In spite Of his cleverness,
he could not have won. mad not Ed

Bruce grew more and more powerful.
Even the Pope who had once excom-
municated him, gave him his favor
again. As he grew older and weaker
he delighted to build ships along the
Clyde. and to attend church services
for he was always secretly religious.
He died Of leprosy in middle age.
