PAVED HIGHWAYS
 ARE NECESSARY ID
 MOTOR GAR TRAFFIC
By Warren MeArthur

Here are some important facts for the Maricopa county voters who will vote for the highway bonds Decem- Der 31.
 Motor transportation in the last few years has grown to such enormous pro- portions that the old types of high ways arc everywhere being replaced by more rigid, permanent roads. The increase in automobile registration (from 4S,000 in 1906 to approximately 6.000,0O0 in 1919) furnishes some idea of the strain put upon our highways today
 Not only has the number of motor vehicles increased but trucks have been made larger and heavier. and their scope of usefulness is steadily increas ing. The use of the motor truck for local as well as for interurban hauling is still in the initial stages of its de- velopment. Business men and farm CTS first turned to motor truck service to meet an emergency; now they are using it to insure against delays and interruptions in carrying on their op- erauons. Motor traffic on our country roads will steadily increase, and the roads will be expected to carry that traffic economically. If our roads can not stand up under present traffic. what will happen in the future?
 The old dirt road stood up well enough under the strain of horse drawn traffic. but heavy and con stant motor traffic over such roads simply rips them to pieces. The pneu- matic tires of automobiles suck the binder out of our old-style Improved" roads and loosen up the entire bed Then along comes a heavy motor truck and pounds the olose gravel into the dirt beneath.
 As fast as one dirt road is rulneo. the motor traffic moves to the next road. Auto and truck drivers can well afford to make a detour of several miles to take advantage of the better roads. Tn eresult is that every dirt road in the community will be sys- tematically ruined in short time.
 Permanent paved roads are the only solution to the extravagant waste of money necessary to the upkeep of a dirt road. The building of a system of paved highways will relieve the strain.
 Good roads are but means to an end - efficient transportation. The longer a community puts off the build ing of paved lines, the longer will that community suffer- not only from ex- cessive maintenance costs, but from lack of efficient transportation. Motor vehicles are here to stay. They will use the county highways in ever in creasing numbers. and like every other community so must also Maricopa county face the fact that a paved sys- tenn of highways is an absolute neces- lsity.

That campaign will be launched shortly for club house which not only will provide a home for the col ored women's clubs of the city, but which will serve as Y. M. c. A. for the boys and a Y. W. c. A. for the girls, was the announcement made yes terday by Lynn Ross Carter, the offi- cial head of the colored women's cluts of the state.
 Mrs. Carter said that the need for such a building had made itself felt and that while the colored people for years had "carried on' without outside assistance they now felt that they must direct their efforts in a drive if they hoped to carry out their pro- gram for advancement. At the pres ent time the clubs treasury has the nucleus for the building in $500 in cash and $50 in Liberty bonds
 In addition to the club rooms, Mrs. Carter said the building would pro- vide rooms for girls who were without homes in the city. A swimming pool gymnasium, tennis courts and other at fractions are contemplated in the plans that will be more definitely outlined as the drive progresses.
 One of the aims of the colored peo- pie behind the movement is to con- struct cottages for the care and treat ment of the tubercular Through its Charity club it has paid the rent of those in need and has borne the ex- penses of many in i'll health who ap- pealed to the club for aid. It has ex- tended it's charity to one of the state institutions, providing gifts of clothing and stockings filled with the usual Christmas fancies.
 A few weeks ago the four colored women's clubs of the city incorporate ed with the object of intellectual an moral life of their people, according tc Mrs. Carter, who said yesterday that hv united effort the women felt thai
