Lacking in details as to terminals,
milage and specific points along the
route, the article from the News-Lead
er relating to a new east-to-west high
way, found elsewhere in to-day's Re
corder, will elicit less interest than
it would otherwise do.
Most of the surveys made through
Highland-older ones even than that
mentioned by Mr.. Vincent are some of
them wildly recalled. The Narrow
Guage carried with it fifty-thous-
and dollar reminder; the Riptoe blus
ter, the Chesapeake Western survey
and last the Stoutenburg fiasco-all
are recalled, but there are practical
ly none who know to what survey Mr..
Vincent refers, unless it be one throu
gh North River Gap, which, while it
might be designated as a route from
the Valley to West Va. across inter
vening mountains to Elkins, would
fail to subserve this countys purpose
in seeking a modern highway or out
let to her nearest and most logical
shipping point, Staunton.
Necessarily, road of the grade he
mentions would entail greater mile
age-nccessarily nearly double it
would appear at gucss-and in
seeking such grade the picturesque
features possessed by the S. &P. Pike
would naturally be lost.
But discussion of Mr.. Vincents
proposed cro3s-nlountain road is use
less until, as stated above, more spe-
cific details are furnished. 1t may be
added, however, that Highland is not
clamoring for better grade for her
traffic, either passenger or freight.
A truckman, in commenting on the
subject this week said, "Give me met
al on the present location and I can
easily haul capacity loads on my
truck" and no motorist has ever been
heard to complain of the grade on
this famous old thoroughfare toward
which Augusta is heading with Lone
Fountain-Jennings Gap extension.
Highlands job is to speed up the
work now in progress and bring ev-
cry influence to bear on such effort.

The thousands who are unable to
find house-room in the big cities and
towns can settle the housing problem
by goinge out on the farms, and in
addition to furnishing comfortable
shelter lucrative employment in the
open air and a chance to aid in the
important work of increasing produc
ton. In many populous cities the auth
critics are taking drastic and exper
sive measures to solve the housing
problem, but it would be much wiser
to ''shoo" them into the farming dis
tricts where they are needed and
where there is room to spare.

Exercise; Don't overeat

Cattle are fattened for slaughter by
being overfed and not allowed to ex-
ercise. Many men and women prepare
themselves for slaughter by voluntarily
adopting the "stall-fed life," says the
United States public health service.
Don't overeat and take plenty Of
healthful, outdoor exercise.

HENRY FORD
 TO FIGHT FOR
 SENATE SEAT

Washington, March 23 Henry Ford will make a more determined fight than ever over the seat of Sena- tor Newberry (Mich.) following the conviction of the Michigan Senator. It became known yesterday that Alfred Lucking, attorney for MT. Ford, wrote a letter on March IT to Senator Dill ingham (Vt), chairman of the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections, as the Newberry case was near the end, but before the verdict was assured MT. Lucking asked that the committee open and hurry the inquiry.
 The committee will hold a meeting today to map out it's program of in vestigation, upon which it will base it's report to the Senate whether MT. Ford should be seated in the place of MT. Newberry. The apparent inten- ton of Senator Newberry not to re- sign makes the action of the Senate committee of paramount importance. The Senate may decide that, regard less of MT. Newberry's fitness to hold his seat, MT. Ford was not legally elected. The Republican governor of Michigan then will fill the vacancy by appointment and the slim Republican majority in the Senate will not be af. fected.

NO DANGER OF EPIDEMIC.

Despite a total of 3 cases of scar let fever in the city there is no danger of an epidemic of the disease, said Dr. William H. Coon, Health Officer. The total number of diseases reported last March was five but the Health Officer called attention to the fact that scarlet fever is more preva- lent in the state this year than last and it is only natural that Bridgeport should have it's share of cases.
