Sometimes a nation dies. Ancient
Rome and Egypt once were rich and
powerful but to-day they are dead.
Whether or not the American nation
dies depends upon its peopie-The
builders of to-day and tomorrow.
Whether or not we practice thrift is
going to be the determining factor.
We are indebted to our country for
our protection and education. We
must strive to repay this debt. We
can do this only by practicing thrift.
Ignorance, of thrift including waste
and extravaganza, is an inside enemy
menacing our country at the present
time. Spending all of our income for
every day expenses means comfort
able present but an uncertain future.
51he present generation adheres too
much to the saying, EAT, drink and
be merry for tomorrow we die" But,
# we are to be 100 per cent Ameri-
cans let this be our motto, Spend less
than you receive. (Put the rest in
a savings account for the rainy day
that is sure to come to you or your
country Families, towns, cities and
states have been wasteful but few rea-

erected in Fort Worth, Texas, to treat

months later a third plant, using a
still different method, was erected In
the field itself.
"As the apparatus used in all the
processes of extracting helium gas for
balloon purposes requires rather del
icate adjustment and manipulation,
some time was naturally consumed In
determining the most efficient work

armistice the first shipment OF 10000
cubic feet of helium, compressed and
stored in steel tanks, had been started
to Europe. This was enough to I'LL

GOOD
GRAVEL FOR ECONOMIC ROAD
Summary of1mportant Points Brought
Out in Recent Address by Wiscon-
ain Engineer -

Gravel roads are given a strong rec.
ommendation as economic highways by
A. r. Hirst, Wisconsin state Highway
engineer. Not only so, but he Is Of
the firm opinion that the economic
service of a gravel road is proportion
ate to Its worth. In other words, IL d
gravel roadway 16 feet wide has a life
or service of three to Ave years, then
the addition Of 10 feet will increase
its serviceable life to six or possibly
ten years. "" y 10 @
"These figures are not defnite,r
says Mr.. Hirst,. "theylmerely express
the comparison which 1t is sought to
emphasize. Moreover this comparison
does not hold true. nor Is any broad
assertion of the worth Of gravel roads
quite true unless there is continuous
maintenance. Wherever gravel roads
are giving notable service good main
tenance is as much the reason as Is
good construction in the, first place"
Mr.. Hirst recently gave an import
ant address on this subject and the
following is a condensed summary OF
tHc mum poihtS III MS ulSCuSSiOus

the relative service value Of highways

THE ROMANCE OF HELIUM

der Greek administration following
the World war. and has been the scene
recently of fighting between Greek and
Turkish nationalist forces. '"' p
The basis for Greek claims to the
Smyrna district in Asia Minor is put
pithily In a statement which former
Premier Venizelos Of Greece is re-
ported to have made to the supreme
council OF the allies. "We seek no
mandate, we seek to enter our home"
Smyrna, and the remainder Of the
west coast of Asia Minor, which have
been accepted as Turkish with little
Question for many generations, had a
well-developed Greek civilization and
culture when the ancestors of the
Turks, half-civilized nomads, were
still wandering with their fiocks over
the bleak steppes Of central Asia.
The portion Of the province OF
Smyrna which has been occupied by
Greek forces comprises roughly old
Ionia, a country which was as. purely
Greek as AtSts itself, and parts Of
Aeolis, another Greek country adjoin7
ing Ionia on the north Greeks pos
sibly from Crete or other islands. Of
