holding an inland water course most
of the way.
But this development would not con-
sumo our entire billion dollars. 1t
would not require more than half
of it. With the other $500,000,000 we
should be able to dredge and deepen
and straighten the Mississippi river
to st. Louis, and the Missouri river to
Kansas City, sufficiently to admit the
free and unobstructed passage of
ocean liners to the very center of the
industrial and fruitful West.
"As to the third billion saved: For
some time past a great electrical SUI
perpower system has been advocated,
extending from Boston to Washing
ton, connecting with the bituminous
coal mines of Virginia, the anthracite
fields of Pennsylvania, and the
sources of water power available at
Niagara and in the lower reaches of
the st. Lawrence river. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 hose power may
be developed on that part of the St
Lawrence river between Lake Ontario
and Montreal constituting the interna-
tional boundary between that part OF
New York state and Canada, one-halt
United States.
"The following Is the proposition In
nutshell: Great hydro electric pow.
err stations are to be built on the st
Lawrence and In the bitumlhous Goa
mine section of Virginia and the an
thracite region of Pennsylvania. The
electrical energy from these plants
will he conducted through trunk lines
crossing the super-power area, ant
the trunk lines will be tapped by
wires conducting the electricity away
In all dire ctions, to take the place OF
coal in all power plants, to run all 10
comotives and street cars. to supply
all electric lighting and to generate
heat for much of the cooking anC
warming OF rooms in private homes
"At the present time the railroads
in the super-power area are carrying
about 60,000,000 tons of coal annually
this coal constituting 40 per cent o
the freight of the roads. 1t Is estl
mated that half of this coal would b.

UNITED STATES GOOD ROADS
Work Is In Progress In Every Section
to Give Country Superior
Highway System.

The time is rapidly passing when
the bad roads of America can be point
ed out as a reproach. In every section
of the country work Is In progress to
give the United States system OF
roads which gill compare favorably
with those Of other countries. Roads
are being built at 1885 different
points. Fully 10000 miles of road have
been approved by the secretary of ag-
riculture. 1t IL estimated that this
construction will cost the country near
ly 4O0,0OO,O00. AT the end of June
1920 the government reported that 2
1l6 different projects, or a total OF
10000 miles of roads, had been com
plete;.-Boys' Life.

NEW CHARACTER OF TRAFFIC
Most Of Existing Highways Were Not
Constructed to Support Heavy
Loads Nov Imposed.

Most Of our existing roads were not
designed with a view OF carrying the
heavy loads now imposed upon them,
and in new roads II would seem the
builders cannot realize the present
changed conditions and the new char
acter of the traffic; In any case the
problem is not an easy one.

- purpose of this article.
h H1 Its purpose is TO call at
49, tentioh to by-product of
the worldwide discussion of the dis
ornament and armament truce pro-
posals-what the United States needs
In the way of industrial improvements
to increase its efficiency.
Engineers, efficiency experts, trans
portation managers and far-seeing
business men have had much to say In
a general way about the need for
greater production and better distri-
button. The possibility of disarma-
ment or of an armament truce has
stimulated them to estimating what
the United States would save ana
suggesting what 1t should do win
the money thus saved.
Here is an example of the may
suggestions for increased Industrial
efficiency. The United States geoiog-
ical survey has been making an inves-
tigation of the potential water power
of the East. On the basis of Its find
ings, Secretary of the Interior Payne,
lust before going out of office, sub
mitted to President Wilson report
covering the area from Boston 10
Washington. He urged unified devel-
opment of electricity, supplied from
both water power and steam-driven
machinery, to effect an annual saving
of about 25,0OOOO0 tons of coal, run
10000 miles of railroad light cities,
run street cars. factories and mines,
through the concerted development of
water power from the st. Lawrence,
Raquette, Delaware, Susquehanna, Po-
tomac rivers and streams In the Adj
ronducks.
Financial feasibility of the idea Is
urged by the report on the following
estimates
liberalization of $4,000 miles of
railway at gross cost of $S0O,OOO,OOO,
reduced to $650000,000 by salvage
of steam locomotives, while yearly
savings on coal and maintenance
would return approximately ii per
cent on the investment"
Incomplete data on $4,000 power
using plants indicates saving of 6,OOO,-
600 to 100000 tons Of coal year.
liberalization of hard coal mines
to save 100000 tons of coal yearly
Public utilities to be saved 100000
tons of coal annually at average cost
of $3.50 a ton.
Hudson Maxim assumes that the
United States would save five billion
dollars through a five-year armament
truce and proceeds to tell what the
| nation could do with those five bill
| lions. Writing in the New York
World he says among other things:
"a billion dollars would build In the
United States $4,000 miles of concrete
roads 20 feet wide-five roads extend
ing east and west from ocean to ocean
/ and six roads extending north anC
south from Canada to Mexico and tho
Gulf-rOads connecting all the prln
cipal cities and towns in all the maiT
directions. The roads could be mad,
