To hear the average man talk, you
would think he thought making and
selling illicit whisky was mostly a
joke. If he will consider the tragedies
it is causing, reasonable man will
conclude that the people who buy and
drink it are fools, and those who make
and sell it are willing to be particeps
criminis in murder.

The lirt road has a bad reputation
every place 1t is found and even i'm
proving does not make It a permanent
road. for 1t is continually needing
work. 1t is a n%ever-ending job to keep
a dirt road In even passable condition.
1t is like doing the chores on the farm,
they must be gone over again and

after. The properly graded road, of
course, is better than n poorly made,

Much of the movement now for I'M
proved roads is for permanent roads.
And. as stated above. these permanent
roads although quite expensive at first,
add much to the value of the lands and
to the reputation of the farming dis
tricts. 1t has been much easier to
populate a new farming section when
1t is known that permanent roads are

A farm always sells better when the
buyer can approach 1t on a substantial
roadway. Those who are advocating
good roads and permanent roads may
not all live to see their ambitions sat
isfied, but they are starting a move
ment that will carry on to the coming
generations and will be a blessing for
those who live after the present i'm

accessibility to markets. A farm many

TRIESTE: A PLUM OF THE
ADRIATIC DISPUTE

Trieste Is one of the major Adriatic
plums in dispute between Italy and
the newly-formed Jugo-Slav state, the
kingdom Of the Serbs. Croats and
Slovenes.
Though Trieste was Austrian. ex-
cept for a brief interval from the
fourteenth century until the World
wal dissipated the Austrian empire,
the city has had a marked effect upon
Italian history. Its chief importance
to Austria was commercial. for 1t was
the dual monarchy's only great sea-
pnrt.
Ereu of a double allegiance to
Venice and to Aquieleia. Trieste re-
quested that she be annexed TO Aus
trla In 1882. Leopold the pious was
on the Austrian throne. He was a
rival to King James of England in
being 'the wisest fool in all Christen-
DOM" Though he expanded his ter
ritory elsewhere, the only acquisition
Of consequence was that of Trieste,
won through no effort on his part.
Thus Austria gained what was des-
tined to become not only a seaport Of
Importance, but also a channel for ex-
ertlng frequent influence upon the af-
fairs of Italian towns and their rulers.
The city is situated on the Gulf of
Trieste, 3G7 miles southwest of Vienna
by rail. 1t lies on the seaward slope
of the Karst. or Carso, a strip of lime
stone hills extending inland from 60 to
80 miles, furrowed with ravines and
pierced by caverns, into which many
small streams disappear.
Not far from Trieste, at Brisciki, Is
the Grotto Giganta, a stalactite cave,
where tourists throng to see the
"Great Dome" spreading over a sub
terranean cavity nearly as long as the
United States capitol and a hundred
feet higher than the capitol dome.
Despite its inclusion In Austrian ter
ritory. Trieste's population and archi-
lecture are Italian. 1t was the Ter
geste of Roman history, and today the
walls and pillars of a Roman temple
nay be seer encased in the cathedral
Of San Giusto, a highly composite
structure which also has built into it
three adjacent structures of the six
teenth century, Christian basilica,
a baptistery and a Byzantine church.
Traces Of. Trieste's early history
we're to be found before the war in
the Museo L~apidarie. which contains
many Roman antiquities from the VI
cinity.
