this Mr.. de Valera replied in the
affirmative but added to his reply the
paragraph now in dispute. saying:
In this final note we deem it our
duty to reaff1rm that our position is
and can only be as we have defined 1t
throughout this correspondence. Our
nation has formally declared its in
dependence and recognizes itself as a
sovereign state. 1t is only as repre-
sentatives of that state and as its

INDIANA ROADS
COMMENDED BY
OHIO SENATOR
Policy of Completing Main
Roads Throughout Extent
Held of Value.

Senator Charles Brand of Urt ana, Ohio,
today in Ohio newspapers summarized
his observations Of TWO inspection trips
over parts Of the Indiana State high
way system, laying stress upon the fact
that under the direction Of Lawrence
Lyons, director the highway commission
is concentrating it's efforts in closing
gaps in the main market roads. The
statement of Senator Brand follows his
last visit here a few days ago when, in
company with a party of Ohio good road
advocates, inspection was made Of stone,
gravel, brick and concrete roads radiat-
ing from indianapolis to Columbus, Sey-
mour, Bedford, Bloomington and Mar
tinsville.
In part Senator Brand says:
"Ohio good road authorities, confronted
with the statement that Indianas State
highway system Is paved almost ex~
cluslvely with native material gravel and
stone, have collected information which
shows that 600 miles or one-sixth of the
State system Of roads In Indiana, are Of
hard-suface pavement, which Is giving
excellent service.
1.-THE HOosier State, in pursuance of a
policy inaugurated by Lawrence Lyons,
the new director OF the State highway
commission, hereafter will concentrate its
available funds on linking up the most
important routes, starting the improve

he desires to give correct weight. Some
times the city inspectors find that scales
are incorrect in favor of the customer
and the coal men are saved money by
having the defect pointed out
The city weights and measures depart
ment has been conducting a coal re-
weighing campaign since Oct. 10, Ed
ward McGuff, chief inspector of weights
and measures, stated, and the results
show, as they have in previous drives
of this nature, that most coal men give
extra weight The deputy inspectors
stop drivers Of coal wagons on the
street while en- route to the customer
house and weigh the coal on the wagon,
then compare it with the amount or
dered.
Out of forty eight loads Of coal so re-
weighed since Oct. 10, only eight were
found to be short Thirteen were correct
and twenty seven were overweight. One
load was almost 200 pounds overweight
and another $50 pounds underweight In
each instance of short weight the In
spectors found the retailers willing to
make good the shortage, according to
Mr. McGuff.
1--WE have had splendid cooperation
from the Commercial Credit, Audit and
Correct weights Bureau" said the chief
inspector, "and our records show that
the legitimate coal dealers Of Indianapo-
lis strive to give correct weights. In
very few instances have our inspectors

through to completion, rather than build
ing short sections at time and leaving
gaps between the improved sections, as
in the past.
Great inconvenience to travellers has
been caused by this skip stop method
Of road building, which now has been
discontinued.
Seventy miles of pavement was laid
during the last fiscal year by the Indiana
State highway department, made up for
the most part of scattered contracts let
for the purpose Of connecting previously
existing pavements In which gaps had
been allowed to remain. OF this mileage
twelve are on the Lincoln Highway, west
Of Valparaiso, serving to complete the
paving Of the route from Valparaiso to
the Illinois State line, with the excep-
ton OF a small gap.
additional contracts for the pavement
of the Lincoln Highway east Of Val
paraiso will be let for the coming year.
Attention also will be given to the COM
pletion Of the Old National road east and
west across the State through Indian
apolis.

On the Road, Nov. y.
y TDGE Gary's announcement that the
volume Of business in the steel in
dustry has more than doubled in the
last ninety days, will have a great in
fluence toward dissipating the fog ana
doubt in the minds of many men. HIS
further declaration of "a return TO large
prosperity in the comparatively near III
ture" is surprising in its broad optimism.
There hardly is a man in America
whose record as a business prophet Is
so good as the head of the Steel Cor
poration. Why shouldn't it be good!
He stands in close relationship with the
masters of finance, the masters In the
field Of steel and the great body of In
dustries making up the consumers OF
steel He, better than any other man, is
in position to know what inquiries are
being made the world over for Steel what
orders are being placed and what bust
ness is developing.
Practically every forecast he has made
Of business has been correct. Therefore,
his pronouncement will have great
weight.
But If would have been more satisfying
to some students of affairs if the judge
had given a bit more of detail. When
he saws the steel business has more than
doubled in the last ninety days it would
have been well if he had stated the per-
centage Of production three months ago.
Was it 10 per cent three months ago or
around 20? What Is it now, 80 or 40 or
more than 40? We know that some Of
the United States Steel properties have
been on a 80 per cent basis all this year
(the Tennessee Coal and Iron, for in
stance). But we also know that some Of
the Steel Corporation properties have
been dreadfully dull
In a period like the present the people
crave facts and figures.
It is good indeed to have the declara-
ton Of Judge Gary. 1t confirms in part
what was printed in this newspaper in a
survey of business conditions through
out America. In fact. it makes the
statements in that survey regarding
steel appear modest.
No one now will doubt that the whole
business outlook is much better There
are some very weak spots. There are
some lines of business that are limp and
almost lifeless. But as a whole there has
been radical change for the better The
sooner that sinks into the consciousness
OF al the people the better.
