service and other representatives of the federal
government MI. WeStgard. who will be- director
general or the trip. and other representatives or

wyoming, Montana and other states; members OF
various associations and organizations interested
in the project. a stenographer. photographer and
descriptive writer, and such others as the commit
tee In charge may think desirable.
The official party will probably make n regular
"triumplial progress around the circle. There is
much interest all along the line. Meetings will be
held at the principal places visited. Local enthu-
siasts are expected to join the party at many
places to the extent OF testing the hotel capacity.
Denver is the natural starting place for both
the pathfinder aud the official party. Here is the
lay Of the land: The Lincoln highway hits the
Rockies q hundred miles north of Denver. The
Pixies Peak route lands fifty miles south Of Denver.
The Santa Fe trail runs a hundred miles south
of Denver. From each of these transcontinental
highways. which carry the bulk of the national
parks tourist traffic, Is Il cutoff to Denver. Then.
starting from Denver 10 the north the park-to park
motorist arrives in succession at Rocky Mountain.
Colorado; Yellowstone. Wyoming; Glacier. Mon
tana: Mount Rainier. Washington; Crater Lake.
Oregon: Lassen Volcanic, Yosemite. General
Grant and Sequoia. California Zion, Utah Grand
Canon. Arizona; Mesa Verde. Colorado.
Some day there will be other national parks in
this circle. Washington offers the Mount Baker
and Yakima projects. Utah wants another ma
tional park In the Bryce Canon region, a little
north of Zion. The National Park of the Cliff
cities is a New Mexico project of long standing
and much merit. Mount Evans. to the south Of
Denver. Is likely to lie added to Rocky Mountain.
Lake Tahoe wants TO join the system. A Save the
Raiwoods League" has been organized TO promote
A Reiwools National park in California.
There are roads now over which this pathfinder
trim can be made and all tweve national parks
visited. Indeed. Mr.. Westgard says he has been
over 10 per cent of the route already. These
roads are all three kinds-good. bad and indiffer-
ent. And there are gaps. some of which are In
the process of being filled.
For an example of good roads. take p miles OF
the Big Thompson Canon highway on the way from
Denver TO Estes park. the east entrance TO Rocky
Mountain National park. Its a famous road on

DRIVERS CAN PREVENT WEAR
Driving in Tracks-Distribute
Traffic Evenly.

Drivers can prevent wear TO the sur
faces of the roads and even improve
their conditions. If instead Of driving
10 one track or on the edge OF the
road. they will drive over the middle
and other less-used parts Of the road
when traffic permits. The one thing
that is fatal above all things to road
surfaces. whether dirt or paved. is
driving in tracks. which subjects one
small part Of the road surface to all
the traffic and damage that the whole
road accommodates. Traffic should be
evenly distributed over the entire sur
face of the road. and a little thought
fulness and care in this respect on the
part of drivers will do much to add
TO the permanence and excellence OF
our roadways.

their allotments of these army supplies
because Of the great assistance they
will be in eXpediting road building.
This material is in addition to approx
imately 22,OOO army motor vehicles
which already have been allotted to
the states through the federal depart
ment of agriculture in accord with pre-
vious legislation.
As yet no definite estimate can be
made as to the number of machines OF
different kinds which the secretary Of
war will designate to be surplus and
not required for military purposes" as
provided in the act. Among the scores
of items listed in the law are: Road
rollers. %sprinkling wagons, concrete
mixers. derricks, complete p~ile-driver
outfits. clam-shell buckets, caterpillar
and drag-line excavatOrs. plOws,
cranes, dump wagons, hosting engines,
stump pullers, wheelbarr0ws, blasting
machines. corrugated metal culverts,
surveying Instruments, drafting ma
chimes, fabricated bridge materials.
gravity and power conveyOrs. and
wagons.
The distribution Of this material
will be made by the United States de-
partment OF agriculture, the work be-
ing in the immediate charge of the bu-
rcau of public roads. 1t will be al
lOtted in the same ratio as funds
granted to the states for federal aid
roads.
The bill also empowers the secre-
tary of wal IN his discretion to trans
fer to the United States department
Of agriculture for use by the forestry
service in the work Of supervising the
national forests, any telephone sup
plies no longer required for military
purposes.
The federal government IL to bs re-
imbursed by the states, a sum equal to
20 per cent of the value of the mate
nal less all freight charges Incurred in
delivering the property to them. The.
title to all vehicles and other equip
ment remains vested In the state for
use in improving highways. No We
hlcles and equipment. in serviceable
condition, can be sold or the title
transferred to any one else. A provi-
sion inserted in the bill shortly before
Its final passage provided that any
state highway department may ar
range for the use OF this material by
any state agency or municipal corpora
ton at a fair rental. II II Is to be used
In constructing and maintaining public
highways. The rental must not be
less than the cost Of maintenance and

OF course I could not understand. but
I said my much-practiced sentence. l

like a charm. She said nothing more

Benefits Of Good Roads.

Good roads will enable the produc-

time. thus insuring higher prices for
prices for the consumer. and will
serve to distribute railway traffic
more evenly over the entire year.

Congressman james w. Good, chair
man of the house appropriations

committee controlling the nations

For the current fiscal year, the per
capita charge will be SAT, a sum near
ly five times as much for each man,
woman and child in the United States
as it was in 1916. In the aggregate.
the governments expenses for the
year will slightly exceed five billion
dollars.
Back in the days Of Thomas Jeffer-
son, the per capita charge was only
$l.j2, the annual expense of his adj
ministration being &c cents per capita
for the war department. % cents for
the navy department, . cents for the
post office department. From Jeffer-
sons day until the present there has
been an increase. with a big addition
coming in the time of war, and de-
creasing again after the effects OF
hostilities had wOr away.
SO, too, with the expenses of to-
day the country is experiencing a
Hangover" from the world war. Dur
ing the fiscal years 1918 and 1919 the
total expenses of the government
reached the high point. the wal de-
partment alone costing $7O.26 for ev-
cry man. and child in the
country.
Expenses jumped during the four
year period covered by the Civil war,

government ever exceeded the billion

Government business runs on its

now, for which congress appropriated
$3.50 $50 o1. to which amount must
be added about $50O,0OO,OOO, ,nex-

For the first time in the history OF
the country, the cost of the post Of
