RURAL ROADS NOT IMPROVED
Not More Than one-Fourth Of per
Cent Of Nations Roads Suitable
for Motor Traffic,

Official figures show that there are
in the United States approximately O.
100000 miles of rural roads Of which
IL per cent are classed as improved.
Road engineers, however, estimate that
no more than One-fourth of i per cent
of the nations roads are suitable for
motortruck traffic. More than 6,O0O,-
600 motor vehicles are now using the
highways, and of this number about
100000 are trucks varying from less
than a ton capacity to vehicles capa-
BILE of hauling five to seventeen loads.
The most conspicuous example Of
anything approaching the efficiency of
a national thoroughfare in the United
States is the Lincoln highway. Or
ganized as private enterprise six
years ago, to stimulate goOd-rOad
building, the officers of the association
have raised several million dollars by
private subscription and have stimu-
lated the Improvement of many sec
tons Of the highway by the states and
counties through which 1t passes.

OLD SAYING SLIGHTLY MIXED
Familiar "sefore You Could Say Jack
Robinson" Does Not Convey
the Right Idea.

Opinion differs as to the proper du-
ration of social call. Anywhere
from ten minutes to a half hour" says
the woman who has q social secretary
and whose daily job is calling" to the
tune Of tea and waters. "All after
noon" says the bourgeoisie, who takes
along her knitting and sits down to
coffee and cake. "And then" say
some, lit all depends upon, the call,
On some occasions andswith different
people we stay longer than others"
But Jack Robinson's calls never
varied. He never stayed long enough
70 wear out his welcome. In fact hard
" had ne been announced. hardly had
the servant who admitted him spoken
aloud his name than he was gone.
So, as you see, before you can say
Jack Robinson" has no reference to
the time it takes to say it. "As long
as you can see Jack Robinson" would
be more in order with its origin and
significance.

SENTIMENT FOR GOOD ROADS

states the measure calling for a ma

rubber concern.
At Salt Lake City recently governors
of ~ states signed a petition, which will
be forwarded to congress, to increase
Immensely the annual appropriation
for road-building, to be expended dur
ing the next five years.
While the Townsend bill asks for
1926, 100000, their petition calls for
billion dollars. The Western COVER
nOrs not only indorse the bill as men,
but as governors Of their respective
states. This action reflects plainly
what the West thinks of the necessity
of highways and furnishes an infiu-
ence which cannot be overlooked. The
West has gone on record as being will
ing to stand its share of the cost

roads, and the share will be a big

Since early In 1919 there has been
steady increase each month in the
federal aid business in the bureau Of
public roads of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. States in all
sections of the country are filing their
projects and receiving aIlotments. The

1t would seem that the end Is not yet.
All indications point to greater rec

Based on complete reports from A

rural roads and bridges Of the United
States for the calendar year 1918
amounted to $2S6,O98, 1893. To this
should be added the value Of statute
and convict labor. which cannot be
fixed with any great degree of ac-
curacy but probably amounted to not
less than $14,O00,OO0, thus making the
grand total expenditures for the year
$30O,OOO0O0. This total is made up Of
the actual expenditures for such items
as labor, materials, supervision and
administration directly connected
with the construction, improvement
and upkeep Of public roads and
bridges outside the limits Of incorpo-
rated towns and cities, and does not
include any item for sinking-fund pay.
mentS or redemption and interest on
road and bridge bonds.
The year 1918 offered an unprece.
dented condition in practically all
lines of highway work. There was
not only a tremendous increase and
expansion In the amount Of heavy
truck traffic ON public roads and an
unprecedented shortage in regard to
road materials, labor and ready funds,
but also decided increase in main
tenance work, which was, however,
partially Offset by decrease in the
amount Of new construction.

in connection with the split-log type
of drag. In this case only two Of the
cross braces have their ends fitted into
auger holes like rGngs.
In fastening the draw-chain to a
sawed-lumber drag, it is usually advis-
able to run both ends of the chain
through holes in the front runner or
else make the connections by means
Of eye or hook bolts, as shown. The
reason for this is that the sawed cross
braces are seldom sufficiently strong
to withstand the pull of the chain
when it is Topped over them, as is fire.
