ALL RECEIVE SOME Benefit
Good Roads Are Advantageous Alike
to Producer and Consumer
Storage Charges Less.

When the roads OF the great pro-
ducing zones of this country are i'm
proved, benefits will accrue not only
to producers, but TO consumers. When
marketing is distributed throughout
the year, storage charges must decline.
This country is paying at present large
storage prices on foodstuffs. The dis
advantages of freight congestion in the
fall cannot be entirely eliminated In
many places, but good roads will GER
talnly have a marked tendency to dis
tribute hauling owe longer periods.
1t is reasonable to say, therefore,
that good roads mea that diversified
farming will be encouraged, the area
of profitable production increased, the
opportunity for favorable marketing
improved, and more uniform distribu-
tion of farm products secured.

CElLUlOlD BY NEW PROCESS
American Manufacturer Declares That
1t Can Be Made Without Use
of Camphor.

The odor and taste impaired to eel
luloid by the camphOr or camphor
substitute used in its composition
have for long been the popular and
commercial objections to this widely
used material. But now 1t is an
|uounccd by an American producer Of
cclluloid that the stuff can be made
on a commercial scale without the
use Of camphor or the synthetic COM
puncnt based on turpcntine. Ccllu-
Iold thus becomes available for the
manufacture of pipe bits, toothbrushes
aud similar articles.
An even more important effect of
the elimination OF camphor, however,
SAYS Popular Mechanics Magazine. is
the reduction Of innammability by 20
10 so per cent. making the product
slow-burning rather than quickly com
hustlble. The new celluloid resembles
the old. otherwise, in every important
property. II Is used both for thin
sheets in the ivory and t~ortoise-shell
forms. and for the thick artificial
ivory products.

IMPROVED
HIGHWAYS
INCREASE IN MOTOR TRAFFIC
Statistics Show Increase Of 1,418,829
Cars Over 1918-Roads Must
Be Maintained.

That the present interest In the con-
struction of new highways should not
divert attention from properly main
tanning highways already improved is
a point which the bureau of public
roads, United States department of ag-
riculture, has had occasion to empha-
size many times in recent months, par
%,icularly in view of the enormous in
crease in motor vehicle traffic which Is
taking place. The bureau recently
completed a compilation of statistics
from ali the states of the Union show
Ing that there We're a total of 7,JGJ,446
registered motor cars (%including motor
cycles and trucks in the United
States in 1919. This is an increase of
% per cent, or 1,41S.S29 motor ears
over 1918. Such figures indicate that
the country's highways are being used
far more than in the past, it is pointed
out, and in consequence added atten-
ton must be given To the repair prob
lem. The increase in the number of
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than the
total number registered in the entire
United States for 1913.
Additional use of roads and streets
has, of course, been accompanied by
additional revenue paid to state and
local governments in the form of Ii
cenSe fees, which in nearly all states
are devoted to highway needs. The
registration and license fees for auto
mobiles, trucks, and motor cycles in
use in 1919 totaled S64,G97,255.5S-an
increase of 20 per cent over 1918. h
total revenues for New York and Penn
