According to President Diehl, first
in this country to work in organized
form for good roads was the American
Automobile association. In the begin
ming of its efforts he says, the Ameri-
can Automobile association stood prac.
tically alone, while today it is assist
ed supported, and commended by prac-
tically all big national organizations,
both in and out of the automobile in
dustry.

provements, W. A. johnson, manager
OF the Goodrich auto tire department,
In letter to President Diehl, points
out and dwells most Interestingly on
a sorrowful situation created largely
by lack of highways communica-
ton. MIR. johnson said in part:
cover in China there is an area
about the size of the state of Pennsyl-
vania where 50,OOO,OOO people are
starving. Every blade of grass, every
green leaf or shrub, every grain, berry
or herb has been eaten. The bark has
been eaten from all the trees. Mil
lions have died and, despite world
wide relief efforts, millions more will
die. The great war was catastrophe,
but no such tragedy as this. In all
recorded history only two or three
pages tell a tale as horrible as China q
famine.
"Yet the next province is one of
the most fruitful sections of the
world. Grains, vegetables and fruits
are i'll abundance. Think Of Pennsyl-
vania starving and New York with
plenty and you have the right menta al
perspective. Such a condition could
not occur in this country. The specter
OF famine might be seen and felt, but
the actual pinch of desperate hunger
would be unknown even on the remot
est hilltop. Relief would come over

VALUE OF HIGHWAYS
TO STATE AND NATION

With more than l0,OOO,OOO motor
ears IN use in the United States alone.
ana with more than e-half the pop
ulation of the country doing more or
less riding in these self-propelled vehi-
cies, 1t is not strange that there should
be = nationwide sentiment for more
and better highways, in the opinion of
President George G. Diehl Of the Amer
lean Automobile association, who
points out:
With light delivery cars and giant
motor trucks operating in every sec
tion of the land where good roads ex-
ist, transporting quickly and economic
ally every human need, and carrying
every type of human freight from eggs
to pig iron, blind indeed 10 the man
who eAunst see the value of highways.
Today. however, this type is rare
specimea.
But what a change from the days
whea the American Automobile asso-
citation eAme into being and inaugur-
ated its long, hard struggle to convert
presumably enlightened people to IL
road building ideal In those days au-
tomobiles were few and generally con-

BETTER
ROADS
SAFETY FIRST FOR CHILDREN
Many Requirements Furnish Variety
Of Topics for Essays and Oral
Discussion.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The many requirements for safety
will furnish variety Of topics for
school children's essays and oral dis
cussion. The dangers of railroad
crossings al grade, the economic jus
dfcation for abolishing them. the inn
portance Of an unobstructed view up
and down the track as vehicle
approached. and the disadvantage of
sharp turns, etc, are suggestive
subjects. Similarly there might also
be mentioned the questions raised by
street intersections and turns. In
every town there are many crossings
where the autoist's view is unnec-
essarily limited by fences, shrubbery,
or buildings; or where sharp curves
with limited visibility invite serious
accidents. Guideposts, markers, and
other signs for the most efficient guild
ance of traffic through thickly settled
communities also are part Of the
bigger and more inclusive topics of
the economic Importance of safety and
gutdnnce-the actual money value of
human life and Of accident prevention.
Another question, in solving which
the engineer and economist will need
the help of enlightened public opinion
(and this enlightenment should start
in the public schools), is that of the
relation Of the public highways to
railroads and canals. The advantage
Of long hauls by rail and short hauls
by motor truck; feeding into main
terminal points by radiating systems
Of highways; division of the trans
pOrtstion burden by parallel SYSTEMS
Of water rail, and road transporta-
ton, are some Of the Subdivisions Of
this general heading.
This listing of topics is not intended
to be complete or exact, but merely
suggestive. Those which refer to con.
struttion could best be utilized when
construction work Is in progress in
the vicinity of q school. Many Of the
other topics may be studied from
maps, of which the students might be
required to make tracings or free-hand
sketches showing the particular
features for which emphasis is desired,
or regarding which the exercise Ia

Fifteen hundred dollars is offered TO,
the discovery Of the most perfect spine
in North America.
Ons thousand dollars is the prize
offered for the woman who has the
nest perfect back and five hundred
dollars for the child with the best
back. The contest is instituted by the
National League for the Prevention of
Spinal Curvature.
The sward is to be made upon the
evidence Of side and back photographs
sent to the league, together with q
technical report from an osteopatb;c
physician, located in the town where
tho contestant Lives.
Dr. F. 2. Millard Of Toronto. On.
taflo' the president of the league, will
act as judge in awarding the prizes,
Inc league has instituted vigorous
campaign throughout the United States
and Canada, for the purpose of saving
shiidren, and consequently the coming
generation, from spinal curvature.
Three-quarters of the school chilaren
IN this country have faulty spines. The
percentage of incorrect backs in oi,,s
is even larger.
1t Is expected that this contest will
not only arouse public interest in pre-.
Venton OF deformity and in establish.
ing better posture, but it will produce
mass of statistics and Photographic
evidence which will be of vast value in
the scientific consideration of this
subject in the future. AS osteopatbic
physicians specialize to such a large
extent upon the spine, the league de-
eided to require a report of the tech
meal examination Of every spine BY
an esteopath.
ACTIVITIES of this organization are
not limited to this hemisphere, a. An
endowed charitable clinic has recently
been opened in London by its Briti.h
branch.
Acatule Ol l0o 6lEu2-
lion is that the majodity of these cases
OF curvature are unexpected BY the
children, teachers, parents and even by
medical examiners themselves. The
public thinks of spinal curvature as an
obvious deformity which can be seen
across the street. This is the condition
which results from neglect of these
cases IN the early stages. ANY deyia-
ton from the perfect perpendicular
constitutes spinal curvature and snould
DC detected IN its lncipiency in order
that treatment may be Instituted i'm
mediately. Treatment correctly admin
istered In the very first stages pre-
vents the gross deformity and accom-
piShes the result ii comparatively
