Former Chnrchs Ferry Woman
First OF Ser Elected To The
Position OF ParIiamenfarian
In Alberta CauQdQ.-A Le1euer
Mrs. L {. Mckinney, Boosting Fsrnners' Political Movement
In North Dakota. Prominent In W. c. I. u. Circles
And Advancement Of The Common People.

The movement is peculiar to the
west-and it has made great Roadway
in Alberta and Saskatchewan among
the rural people ~ the farmers, espec-
tally. It originate in North Dakota,
where it gained a large membership.
Among some of the reforms which
its adherenats advocate are the gradu-
al naturalization of the great utilities
of the country, the financing by the
people of their own elections, the es-
tablishment of a national compulsory
insurance law, covering accidents, old
age, illness and death, the principle
of direct legislation, including the re-
call, and the changing of the bank
ing system, so as to make possible
small credits to the man who really
needs them.
On the whole, I have enjoyed my
legislative experience" states Mrs
Mckinney, and l have found both men
and women wonderfully generous and
kind. Politics has much that is OBJ
jectionable, but I see no good reason
why it should not be conducted as a
clean game. 1t can be cleaned up,
but it never will be till the average
citizen has a different attitude to-
wards citizenship and public service,
and women should contribute very
much to this change. Not What can
I get out of it?' but What can l put
into it?' must be the thought of the
citizen.
Confident of Farmers Movement
I have great confidence in the
farmers political movement or any
other independent movement that will
help the average mar and woman to
think definitely and intelligently
along political lines. Give us an in
telligent citizenship with a high moral
purpose and Canada's future is safe;
and nov that our women are recog-
nized as citizens I trust they will make
a definite contribution to this end.
Just at the moment 1 consider the
most important matter before us is
to see that the expressed will Of the
majority of our citizens regarding the
determination of the liquor traffic is
carried into effect and that We carry
IN a vigorous campaign in the inter-
ests of law observance. There is a
danger that we lose sight of the san
City of law. This is by no means
the only problem, but it affects adj
versely every other line of effort in
which women r engaged, no matter
in what sphere that work is being
DONE"
Those who have had the pleasure of
meeting Mrs. Mckinney r always
impressed by her unaffected modesty
and by her womanliness. True, her
womanliness is not of the kind that
has always been accepted as the char
acteristic womanliness of woman.
There is nothing of the uncertain:
| coy and hard to please" quality in
Mrs. Mckinney! Tall, strong, and
quiet, she reminds one rather Of the
type of woman described by Words
worth in his lines to a "Highland
Maid" for the treason firm, the temp
crate will, endurance, foresight
strength and SKILL" so highly COM
mended by the poet, are certainly
qualities possessed by Alberta's pic.

ALONG
AUTOWAyS NEEDED

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Footpaths or
sidewalks along every heavily trav-
cled automobile road arc needed, ac-
cording to Edward N. Hines. of De-
troit a county road commissioner. in
an address before the American good
roads congress here today.
MIR. Hines stated that every city or
county now planning tho building OF
roads should provide place where
a pedestrian would bo safe to travel
as well as n road autoist would seek.
In discussing the various problems
that confronted the Wayne county,
Michigan, board of road commission
crs. Mr.. Hines said:
Experience has shown that so per
cent OF the traffic uses about 25
per cent of the mileage; and in plan
ming for the future it has been the
thought OF our board to build $50
miles of concrete road so that in
i general way when this program is
completed no section of Wayne coun-
ty would be more than miles cast,
west. north or south from n first
class concrete road.
The connecting up OF the villages
and cities in the county. one with
the other. was a step in the plan,
which Is also largely completed
Another step calls for the cncir-
cling of the county with three belt
lines; an outer bolt, an inner belt,
ana a mludlc Delt route. inc outer
belt route has been completed, and
a Eoodly start has been made on
both the inner and middle belt routes.
The fourth step contemplates the
parallclinE of the main routes of
travel out of the city OF Detroit and
tho widening out Of those already
built. This latter feature OF our plan
is being carried forward at the pres
ont time.
with the tremendous growth in
traffic, particularly with regard to
the use OF motor trucks we arc do
ing additional planning to adequate.
ly prepare for the future.
~ comprehensive survey has boen
made OF the entire county and Z
heavy duty radial roads with right
of way Of not less than 100 feet have
been laid out to the county line in
various directions to provide primar-
lily for truck traffic of tho future.
These roads will be bea-line roads,
butt of concrete, free from grades.
with a width OF metal of not less
than sc feet"

The Weakness OF Our
System OF Road Repair

Tho weakest link in our American
system OF improved highways il its
method Of maintenance We shall
never achieve real progress in good
roads development until We remedy
this condition.
1t IS tho present habit among road
buildors in this country to lay down
a hard surfaced road and then leave
it trustinFly in the hands of Provi-
dencc. This bespeaks bland and
childlike habit OF thought which in
inspiring. but unhappily it is costing
the country a good many hundreds
of millions of dollars in premature
repair expenses and needless rebuild
ing costs. No other product of mans
constructional genius is subject to
quite as many vicissitudes of wear and
exposure as the highway surface.
Millions Of vehicles OF varying weight
are passing over the road surface
every year. In addition II is subject
to constant attack by the elements,
arc FREQ to do their worst. And they
tako fun advantage OF their license.
The total cost Of repair and rebuild
ing operations thereby made necessary
would stagger not humanity. but the
taNpaytng section thereof IL n pa
trolman is constantly watching any
given strip OF highway and on the
first sign Of a break gives first aid or
summons Tho repair gang to do n
somewhat more ambitious job there
Will be no pot-holes to develop into
great Eashos that uecessitate rebuild
ing. II Is tho old saying Of the
stitch In time. Any one of our
really effective road surfaces will last
for years enough to make an adequate
return on the money invested in it,
If 1T Is given proper attention. II the
''if'' could be eliminated there would
he no more stories OF highways built
from the proceeds OF bond issues and
rebuilt before tn" amortization or tho
original bonds And that is precisely
the sort OF financial wildcatting that
makes good roads progress difficult.

CENTER OF
OLD WORLD
AT SANTA FE
Determined Definitely by
Excavations in New
Mexico

Santa Fe. n. NJ. Feb. fz.-When
Europe was plunging thru the ter
rors of the middle ages and along
about the time Attilla, tho Hun. was
ravaeing the civilization of Rome,
another civilization of different type
was in fairly we'll perfected state
In western North America The cen
ter of this civilization as well as CEN
ter of trade and commerce was Pecos,
New Mexico, about twenty-five miles
east of Santa Fe.
This was determined definitely. ac-
cording to DR.. A. V. Kidder, by OK
cavations conducted by himself and
assist ants last summer. DR.. kidder
was aided by DR.. f. A Hooton. a
and DR.. Carl E. Guthe, who had just
returned from his exploration among
the Mayos in Central America
The scientists opened more than
800 graves and examined some 1000
skeletons. Homes had been built
upon ruins of previous habitations
and the bodies of the dead buried in
the ruins had increased to such an
extent that the Indians of Pecos, some
eighty years ago, deserted their thou
sand year old city and moved to Jcmcz
because the water had become con-
taminated.

ously the north house. Excavations last
summer showed that there had been

To explore the extensive north house
which originally must have had more
than a thousand rooms, and walls of

eously at the east entrance and the
west edge OF tho mesa. Tho western

after passing thru burials four feet

BIG ADDITION
TO FACTORY

Substantial evidence of Dodge Broth
ors confidence in tho future is to be
found in their expenditure of between
IS, 900 900 and Is,Ooo,ooo for the ex-
pansion OF their factory. The present
building program is the largest in
their history, and will bring tho total
floor space OF the plant up to more
than 100 square acres. In 1914, when
production OF Dodge Brothers motor
car began the total floor space was
about square acres.
Tho principal unit OF the construc-
tion program now in progress is the
now press steel building. with n floor
area of 100000 square feet. The new
construction building, which has just
been completed, Is eight stories high
and has a floor area OF 1886 square
feet. Another important unit now be-
ing built is the new power plant.
With the gradual expansion of the
factory tho interplant traffic problem
became one of primo Importance. The
distanc. between the main building
and Plant 4 Is nearly a mile and until
recently IL was necessary to cross u
railroad tracks to reach it. This prob
lem was solved by tho simple but
costly cEpcdient of digging a tunnel.
Now factory traffic cuts off half the
distance and passes under the Il
tracks instead Of over them. The
tunnel is good example of the efft-
cheney measures always being intro
duced at Dodge Brothers factory.
which has the reputation OF being one
or tho most thoroly equipped and best
managed factories in the world
When the present building operations
are completed others will probably be
gin. There is nearly always some
thing IL progress. Tho maximum pro
duction attained 30 far was an aver
age OK about coo cars n day. but thig
will be materially increased by the OK
ira facilities now being provided.
