HARD SURFACE ROADS TO
ENCIRCLE THE GLOBE.

If the 22,030 miles of federal-aid
roads which have been built or are
no W under construction, more than
two-thirds are earth roads, sand-clay,
or gravel, says TIE chief of the bu-
reau of public roads, United States
department of agriculture. These
have cost less than one-third of the
total amount expended as compared
with nearly so per cent of the esti-
mated cost applied to 1890 miles of
hard-surfaced roads. A study of local
conditions by an engineer of the bu-
reau is necessary before a road pro-
jet may receive federal aid.
The type of road to be used and the
most suitable surface with respect to
the traffic of the locality must be de-
termined. Service must be satisfac-
tory, while costs must be kept low,
both for building and maintenance.
There must be careful analysis of
the engineering and economic condi-
tions for each particular project.
There are individual considerations
in every case which affect the deter
Ainsticn as to the best type of road
materials Cor that locality.
The mileage of federal-aid roads
which have been built or are now I'M
der construction is nearly sufficient
to encircle the globe. This is the rec
ord of work accomplished since July
1916, when the federal government
first stepped in to aid in the enor
nous task Of building highways thai
are now called upon to carry more
than 100000 motor vehicles plus /;
very substantial horse-drawn traffi,
in the 48 states.

AN AMERICAN PRODUCT
BY Mary E Ely.

The only child, that over protected
and unprotected, little soul, whose
parents are so un-intelligent in their
desire to be intelligent, so inconsist-
ent in their constituencies!
He is an appealing child, even in
his most trying moments, and a
word in his defence may soothe and
encourage those who at times mis-
judge and find him almost unbearable
Il believe all children's good,
If they're only understood,
Even bad ones, pears to me,
sizes as good, as they kin bel"
TIE only child is surely sinned
against rather than SHINING. He has
much with which to contend this lone
some child having no legitimate vent
for his social life with those of his
own kind, in years and stages of de-
velopement, no one who can think
his thoughts, play his games and see
his little viewpoints.
"At evening when the lamp is lit
Around the fire my parents t.
They sit at home and talk and sing
And, do not play at anything"
sang an only child, our whimsical
Robert Louis Stevenson. 1t is com

lportunity to establish relations on his
own plane with other children.
Of course little child dearly love:
the undivided attention of his elders
to be singled out as an object of at

the South American countries at the
convention in st. Louis in 1919. They
visited all the countries open to
strangers in Europe in the spring and
summer Of 1920. This year they have
made a tour Of the Latin-American
countries, including Peru, Chile, Uru-
quay, Argentine and Brazil. They will
bring to the convention that meets in
San Francisco, August 18 to %, al
prophecy from representatives of the
government in Chile, Argentine and
Uruguay that prohibition will be es-
tablished there within five years.
South America is watching closely the
effect of the prOhibitOry law in the
United States, both in its social and
its economic aspects. Nothing but
complete failure here could prevent
the enactment of similar legislation
there, and there is no thought of fall
ure, either in the minds of the South
American temperance workers, or here.
Indicative of public opinion towards
prohibition is the attitude Of the gov
ernments and Of educators of the high
est rank towards the cause. Because
Of this sympathy the teaching Of
scientific temperance is included in the
curriculum Of the schools, for which
teachers are trained in the normal
schools. To meet the question Of
economic loss the government Of Chile
has already instituted a program Of
propaganda to teach the value Of
grape culture for other purposes than
the making of alcoholic beverages and
is advocating legislation to provide f.
nancial aid for those who undertake
the conversion of their plants to 9TH
err purposes than wine making.

HAPPINESS.

1t is pity that we are not SO con-
stituted as to realize that happiness
lies just within our very reach and
is always at hand. 1t slips into our
hearts Ike sunshine under the door.
When we get up in the morning and
open the door, it is ours in abundance
if we can open our hearts and allow
it to flow in and nestle there of its
own accord. We can find it in the
daily tasks at hand, in the simple
pleasures of the passing hours and in
the people We live among and work
with for happiness is not found by
for it.

Board to guarantee it an equally ad-

cancellation.
