HIGH SPEED ROADS
 ID BE SOLUTION OF
 ENGLISH PROBLEM
No Automobile to Be AL lowed on Them With Speed of Less Than 20
 Miles an Hour
By K. WALTER

London. November 15.- Reciprocal News Service.)-A new system of high ways is to be added to England's ex- isting network of good roads. These are to be for the use of express traffic exclusively. No horse vehicles will be allowed on these through roads
 When you turn in on one of these track-roads you will pass speed limit sign of the usual kind perhaps speed limit 2O miles an hour, but this won't mean what it seems to mean It won't mean that the high speed limit of the road is 20 miles; there won't be any high-speed limit It will mean that no vehicles with maximum speed below that figure are allowed on the road. The rule of the road will be to keep going or to get onto the byways and lanes reserved for crawlers. On this road will be all the pleasure speeders n1akfns their GO miles an hour with out thought of chieksDs. dogs or chill dren. but more important than these private and public passenger cars will be the road-trains drawn by new type of truck that will race the freight trains on all except Ions distance hauls,
 This IS no speed hogs dream but one of the plans for speeding up old England which are aready well under way at the ministry of transportation under the energetic direction of Sir Erie Geddes. All the existing roads in England are being classified in prep aration for their assignment to special grades of traffic. Some of them--for example the great North road and other highways laid down during the Roman occupation of Britain-may be direct enough for conversion to high speed traffic all the main highways are solidly enough built and most of the by-ways too, so far as the road sur face is concerned, But most of the smaller roads wander around the coun- tryside as if they had been originally surveyed by party of children out picking flowers. and many of the main

Artistic Versatility

From ''The Field of Art'' in Sribners.
 Artists are sometimes thought to be men of one idea, but as a rule they are at least potentially versatile. We have men today variously equipped, as was Peale, but usually it is in fad or hobby that they vary their profession. Tvron can make the finest of fishing rods. Wles could stuff birds for the ornithologist," and teach the ornithologist much more in his own pathological line besides and not only could he. but he does, build wonderful ship models. And Frank De Haven can build violins with the best of the experts. And down at Greenport, l..

roads have curves that would be death to any fast traffic.
 Again, a peculiarity of roads almost anywhere is that they have a way of passing through towns. Those are old fashioned roads and will either have to be taught to keep away from such places or see new roads take all their finest cars away from them For the roads the ministry is planning are to be through routes across the country in every direction. passing close by every large center of population but not entering any. This is an important matter in England. where towns lie cIose together the length of the land. Today that is what impedes fast motor service on the roads more than any thing else Even the London buses that run on routes sometimes 40 miles out of London are hampered in their comparatively slow speed by having to pass through the streets of outlying towns ike Richmond and Epson.
 A fertile field opens for the in ventor who can supply the road system of the future with the automatic safety devices that will eb necessary for the control between two or more road systems each with it's particular speed regulations It is seriously be- ing considered here whether the through route high speed highways should be treated as the railways are in England in the matter of safety precautions. English motorists smile increduous1y when told about the num- Der of level crossings allowed to ex ist in America and the complacency with which motoring public regards their existence. In England level crossing is rarity almost a curiosity, even on second-class roads.
 One plan being considered Is to abolish level crossings of roads belong ing to two different systems of road ways, building bridges or subways wherever they cross. It was out of the consideration of this problem of giving unbroken continuity to the fast-traffic roads that there came the proposal to fill in the canals and convert them to speedways. The canals themselves are too narrow for the purpose and even with the towing path added their width would in most eases still be in adequate, There has also been a re- vival of the use of canals for heavy freight. such as coal and bricks.
 As yet there has not been any an nouncement of the manner in which the ministry of transport intends to finance the building and upkeep of the national speedways. In a recent state ment Sir Eric Geddes let it be known that he personally doubted whether the public was prepared to be taxed for fhe building of a new and exclusive system of roadways. He thought it might be necessary to ask for special levy on the users of the roads and gave his opinion that in cases where landlords benefited by fast traffic over their estates the landlords ought to pay for those benefits.

Curl Hair This Way
 and Keep It Healthy

It has been found that the occasional use of a harmless and inexpensive fluid which druggists know as "silmerine," will keep the straightest hair in curl perpetually, giving inc appearance of true naturalness, besides keeping the hair softer and glossier than possible with the heated iron. The liquid may be applied with clean toothbrush, this being drawn through the hair from crown to tip and allowed to dry overnight.
 In the morning the hair will be beautifully wavy and curling, and will lie easily and loosely the head, as it should, consider ing it's welfare from a hygienic standpoint A few ounces of liquid silmerine will last for months and as it is really beneficial to the hair, which cannot be said of the heated iron it* should be generally adopted by the fair sex It win not spot discolor scalp pr hair, nor leave any sediment, grease or sickness.

BRYCE SAYS PARIS
 CONFERENCE ERRED
British Viscount Deplores Veils Of
 Darkness at Session

London, Nov. 21.--Viscount Bryce, speaking on the league of nations at a dinner recently, turned to the peace conference and asserted that, after making all allowances for it, he was bound to say he thought the Paris conference had committed very grave errors and was in danger of commit ting some others.
 f1e cited as examples the case of the Tyrol and Pennsylvania in which, he said, a third of the population taken over by Rumania has certain ly no affinity With the Rumanians. He also mentioned the controversy over the Balkan boundaries and maintained that commissions should have been appointed to examine the line that separated the different peoples and re- port to the conference. Ii the nations knew their claims had been fairly considered by competent authorities, there was prospect of contentment and future peace.
 If such questions are going to sur Vlve there is further need for the league ot nations, which alone could deal With them,' he declared. The league off nations appeals to the con- science of mankind and it cannot be effective unless supported by the pub lie opinion of all that is best in every country.'
 Viscount Bryce was afraid |there were only two countries-Great Brit ain and the United States-where the idea had caught hold of the best opinion and even there it had not got down to the minds of the bulk of the people, "The reason" he said, was ''they were so much occu- pied With their own affairs that they took little interest in foreign affairs and it was essential that the impor- tance of this subject, should be brought home to every voter. Viscount Bryce said a great deal of the proceedings of the Paris con- ference had been "shrouded in impen- etrable darkness What had hap pened had shown that it was possible ] to induce nations to acquiesce in se- l cret diplomacy to an extent greater 1 than anyone would have believed pos | sib1e.''

BOTH TEAMS REST
 FOR FINAL BATTLE
Harvard Is Favorite, But Yale Back CTS Arc Betting Even Money
 on Blue

Boston, Nov. 21.-Brief practice and then complete relaxation until the final battle tomorrow at Cambridge were the orders today for the Har- ward and Yale football warriors. The straw blanket, which will cover the football field in the Harvard stadium until shortly before the big game, was lifted temporarily so that the Yale team might have a workout and be- come familiar with air currents and locations.
 Harvard's practice was confined largely to head work within the con- fines of the seclusion of a county club about 23 miles from this city. The Yale players are quartered at the Belmont Spring Country club in the suburbs.
 Thousands of football enthusiasts poured into the city today. Those who had not had the foresight to make hotel reservations far in ad- vance were obliged to seek the hos pitality of suburban cities and towns, for Boston had nothing to offer
 Harvard was slightly favored in the wagers reported, although 1t was said that many Yale supporters were sat istied with even money.

Leaders Win Semi Official Approval
 at Minneapolis Convention.
By Corporal Klein.


 N. F.. A. Staff Correspondent.
 Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 1S.-With semi official sanction of the American Legion, new organization of woman relatives of men who served in the army, navy and marines during }the war, is being organized
 The American Women's Legion is the name. Its nucleus is in Washing ton. D. c.
 Similar beginnings have been made in California, Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia
 Organizers came to Minneapolis to gam support and cooperation from the American Legion. By n resolu- hon adopted at the convention of the former service men, the women won recognition and promise of aid.
 Chieftess of the Women's Legion is Mrs Walter Bruce Howe of Washing ton, wife of the commander of the capital city post of the American Le- zion.
 Secretary of the executive commit tee is Mrs. Robert H. Dunlap, also of Washin gton. They hope to win over the larger organization already in existence the Service Star Legion, of which Mrs. Robert Carleton Morris of To- ledo is president.
 The Service Star Legion is we'll or ganized in several states, being a union of several different bodies built around the original War Mothers of America.
 "All these women's patriotic or ganizations can easily be combined into one strong and active group" saws Mrs Howe
