New-York tribune., 1921-06-13

Literary Digest is to them what the
Old desk drawer was to Lincoln-a
magnet that draws with vital force
because it's contents are vital.
There are great tides in the affairs
Of men which sweep institutions for
ward or hurl them back. In the grin
of such tide The Literary Digest is
being lifted day by day, week by week,
month by month to increased circu-
1ation.
Consistent national advertising
accentuates the lift; and The Literary
Digest continues it's advertising.
But the tide is not dependent upon
advertising for it's direction and force:
its currents run deep in the UNDER
lying conditions Of present day life.
In the knitting together of the world
into neighborhood; in the insistent
need of larger and larger number
Of households for worldwide infor-
nation because the very livelihood
of those households is influenced
by worldwide events.
Those manufacturers who woke
their businesses to the growth of The
Literary Digest by advertising in it's
pages are enlisting force wider and
deeper than circulation figures can
portray.
They are linking their
progress irresistibly to the
very spirit of the times.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-13

Civil War thousands of families be-
came dependent on newspapers for
the first time in their lives. For the
first time they learned that far-away
events really are not far away. The
guns Of Gettysburg shook the re-
motest home; and towns two thousand
miles from the sea waited breathless
for tidings from Mobile Bay.
SO a generation lived and learned
and died; and new generation stood
in it's place.
And in 1914, in town whose name
we could hardly pronounce, a prince
and his consort were shot to death.
Merely one more murder in distant
land: turn over the page; it means
nothing to us.
Nothing7
Nothing, except to take two million
OF our sons three thousand miles to
Flanders Fields
Nothing, except to double or treble
the price Of everything we eat and
wear.
Nothing, except to throw into dis
array all the processes of our business
life.
Out of our calm isolation we woke
to the fact that the world has shrunk
to neighborhood. There are no
mere far-of events. Whatever
happens anywhere happens to us.

'News?' is intelligent Americas
cry. Give us accurate, immediate,
worldwide news! Sift it; condense
1t; interpret it without color or bias
for use in our busy lives"
For thirty years one publication,
and only one, The Literary Digest,
had been building itself to satisfy that
demand
From 34o,5 500 copies in 1914 it has
been carried by it's indispensable serv-
ice and uninterrd dpted advertising to
a circulation of 1,300,O 900 and more.
The circulation will be larger this
summer than in any previous sum-
ner; it will be larger this fall than in
any previous fall. And The Literary
Digest continues its advertising.
Each week more thoughtful men
and women learn
--where every important dispatch is in-
81 terpreted for them;
where the opinions of every great
newspaper; Of every live trade, agri-
cultural and business publication from
every State in the Union and every
country In the world will be recorded;
where every significant bank> bulletin
and Government report are condensed
and explained.

and women, that the news of the
world is the stuff out of which their
decisions must be made. And The

Out to the porch, down the steps,

TOO MUCH FOR MRS. SMITH
She Couldn't Allow Her Old Friend,

this summer, both continued To gain.
Mrs. Brown went West early in the

that her neighbor had accomplished

ROAD LEGISLATION OPPOSED
Engineers, Dairy Farmers, Fruit and

Gus Protests.

All industry and a great portion of

and ill-adviSed legislation already en-
acted by Il few states and pending in
others which threatens to strangle one
OF the nations most essential indus
tries, motOrtruck transportation, says
a writer in an exchange.
The protests come from highway
engineers, dairy farmers, fruit and
vegetable growers, grain belt shippers,
all lines of industry and commerce and
other operators of mOtOrtrucks and
their patrons.
They say increased license fees and
restrictive legislation have been eff.
fected without sufficient Investigation
and without conclusive evidence.

structiOn an experimental road con-

If the road is dangerously narrow
now, as is the case where less than
eighteen feet is paved, what will it be
in twenty years?
Eighteen feet should be the mini
mum, not the maximum, and on main
travelled roads Il greater width will
seem narrow in twenty years. In Eng
land and France the roads are paved
clear 10 the fences or sides of the
highways, unless a curb and sidewalk
or bicycle path is maintained between
the road and fence. Every foot is
kept in good condition. Good drainage
is as much a part of the European
highways as is the case with our city
paved streets.
We are at the beginning of motor
transport. Unless we look ahead and
provide wider pavements, we will find
the highways crowded and our pos
Sible relief from railway congestion
annulled A few dollars saved now
in narrowing our paved highways will
prove a short sighted policy.
We have already seen the folly of
constructing our canals too narrow
and locks TOO short. The great lakes
boats needed in Atlantic transport dur
ing the war had to be cut in two and
taken through the canals In pieces.
Ocean ships cannot reach interior ports
until the canals and locks are en-
larged. This is a highway lesson TO
US. Look to the future.

STOLE HER FLOCK OF CHICKS
Family Without the Formally
of Matching Them.

The fox is no cleverer than a Leg
horn hen. So at least thinks one
reader Of the Companion who has
read the numerous stories that it has
printed to illustrate the cleverness Of
foxes. To justify her opinion she
tells a story of hcr own. Here it is:
In our flock of chickens we had
only one brown LeghOrn, but she was
hard to beat. One day she stole her
nest, and, though LeghOrns do not, as
a rule sit, some time later she came
marching proudly into the yard fol-
lowed by a dozen little brown balls.
In week she had following her %
chicks of all ages and descriptions;
she had stolen them from other hens.
And besides attending TO the needs
of that large family she began short
" 10 have an egg in her coop every
morning.
An interesting incident occurred on
4 nelghbOring farm. a persistent lit
tie hen that was repeatedly prevented
from sitting finally disappeared and
returned some days later with seven
fluffy baby quail. She had evidently
driven the mother quail from her nest
and Matched the eggs herself. The
baby quail ubeyed her commands, and
she was very proud of them; but, in
the words Of my small brother, won't
she get the surprise of her life some
day when these little quail learn to
fly youths Companion.

SOME NOVELTIES OF SOUND
Really Curious Phenomena That Have
Come Under the Observation
Of the Physicists.

If when the air is still, you stand
near a high wall and speak word
loudly. il Will come back to you as If
repeated by an invisible person. 1t is,
of course, an echo.
Parallel walls separated by a few
hundred feet, as in a canyon, may so
reflect a sound as to cause it TO be dis
tinctIy heard again and again in
lOng-dying series of repetitions.
If the rejecting walls are irregular,
the repetitiOns, instead of being dis
tinct to the ear, will be mere jumbled
and unintelligible reverberatiOns- This
is noticeable in certain caverns.
Prof w. J. Humphreys, an eminent
physicist, describes a curious phenOm-
enOn which he calls an ''acOTstical
mirage" sounds uttered at a distance
on the surfa e Of the earth seeming to
come from high in the air. Such an
uplifting of sound corresponding TO
the uplifting of a landscape by a Wis
ual mirage) may occur when a stratum
of warm air ut the surface is over
laid by cooler air. The sound travels
faster at the top, and so appears TO
come from alOft.
A baIloonist can often hear the
earth-echO ~ his own voice Wien he
cannot. by Shouting, gain the attention
of people standing on the ground be-

tude Of fifteen hundred feet perhaps

IMPROVED
ROADS
PROPER WIDTH OF HIGHWAYS
Eighteen Feet Should Be the Mini
mum, Not the Maximum on Main
Travelled Roads.

Through all the years we have been
trying 10 maintain from forty 10 sixty
foot roads in Il large percentage OF
our public highways when such
width was wholly unnecessary. The
road sides have not been cared for
because they were waste land and
this lack of care has made them
spreaders Of weed seed and hay fever.
A narrower roadway. we'll kept, would
in most cases serve all the purposes
required, drainage and safety. says
the Successful Farming.
Now that the roads are 10 be hard
surfaced the tendency is to go to the
other extreme in order 10 save taxes
for paving. We must look ahead. If
we put down a paving that Will last
fifteen or twenty years. we must estl-
mate if possible the amount and kind
of traffic 1t will bear at that time.
