Boston-Failure of the American and other governments to keep pace with the movements of foreign eX- change enabled Charles Ponzi to get rich quick.
 Ponzi himself says he has made ss.500.o00 in less than eight months. He traded in foreign exchange, buy ing Italian money and other European money which is far under par, at a tremendous discount.
 This foreign money he sent to the country in question and had it re- turned to America in "International Reply coupons" Under a pre-war agreement these can be redeemed in the United States at par.
 some countries guarded against such profit-takinS in exchange. Bri- tain, for example, had a postal money order convention with America. As soon as the British exchange fell Britain slapped on a, commission" fee which made every purchaser of money orders pay according to the prevailing rate of exchange.

US. to Haze Trunk Highways
Soon, DeclaresA. 4. .A.O Official

Trunk highways, like trunk rail
read lines, will be the inevitable re-
suit of the increasing use of motor
vehicles by the people of the United
States. This is the opinion of A. G.
Batchelder, executive chairman of
the American Automobile Associa-
tion.
Already a plan for an extensive
cross-country road system is en-
gaging the attention of Congress,
thrt ugh introduction of a bill by
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, pro-
viding for national highway sys-
tenn that, in Mis- own words. would
form the backbone of the main COM
mercial arteries of the nation"
Motor transportation has brought
about the new countrywide demand
for trunk highways" says Batch
elder. The railroad systems must
be supplemented in various direc
tons by tn. employment of the
motor vehicle: where there isn't suf-
ncfent business to justify the eX-
pense of trackage, where it is a case
of intercity communication which
