WTASHINGTON. = Secretary Fall

the analysis made by the geo.
logical survey of comprehensive
system for generating and distribut-
Ing electricity to transportation lines
and industries In the north Atlantic
coast region between Boston and
Washington. The survey was author
lied by congress.
The engineers who made the sur
vey reported that 970 miles Of 10000
volt lines and Ave times that mileage
in 10000 volt lines would be needed.
The 1900 miles Of wire now carrying
$1,000 volts and over would be oper-
ated as simple distribution lines for
local industries This transmission
network and its substations would re-
quire $104,000.000 by 1880. the report
said, in which year the total invest
ment would be 81, 100. 564. 900.

Americas far-fung net of roadways
is soon to be measured accurately In
terms of mileage, cost, character of
construction, improvement work and
general condition by the bureau Of
public roads of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. The survey.
which is the most extensive ever un-
dertaken and the first In seven years,
Is to be made with the aid of state and
local officials and individuals the coun-
try over, and is comparable only to
the great task Of taking the national
census.
Nobody, in all probability. could
guess today within millions of dollars
what the roadways total, in dollars
and cents, on the ledger Of national
assets. Nobody knows how many miles
there are where wheel may roll. The
strength and the weakness Of the ma
tion's transportation arteries likewise
are unknown IN detail.
When the survey Is completed, all
these and other facts will be known
and will be available for guidance to
road builders. In addition there will
be abundant data to show up COM

TRUCKS AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Farmers Almost Unanimous In Dsciar-
inc Principal Disadvantage 10
Poorly Built Roada

Vast increase In use Of automobiles
is now to be depicted with motor.
trucks. Their complete utility is tes-
titled to by 95 per cent Of the farm
ers replying to the latest government
inquiry.
These same men agreed that the
principal disadvantage of motortrucks
is poor roads. For about eight weeks
of the year, mud or snow is SO bad
that trucks cannot well be used. When
all-the-year good roads are estab-
lished, agricultural use Of motortrucks
will be universal.
Motortrucks involve problems new
to highways. Their tremendous loads
utterly destroy roads which under
horse-drawn vehicles were permanent.

American Elms for Lincoln Memorial

T wO American elms have been
planted by the American Forestry
association on the grounds Of the
Lincoln memorial. The elms, one for
the allied armies and one for the al
lied navies, were dedicated by
Charles Lathrop Pack of Lakewood,
N. j., president of the association.
After Mr.. Packs short address. Mrs.
Warren G. Harding presented her tree
planting trowel to members of the
American Legion who placed the trees
at the Twenty.third street entrance
to the grounds. The trees are to

Of Lieut.. Col. @. O. Sheriff. Of the

More Efficiency in Veterans Bureau

CWEEPING recommendations de-
signed to increase the efficiency Of
the veterans bureau have been
made in a report by the special senate
committee investigating government &C
tivities for the relief Of former serv-
ice men. The report was the commit
tees second. The bureau should
broaden It's Interpretation and widen
the scope of application of existing
laws" the report said, adding that adj
ditional legislation would be sought
to meet deficiencies shown. Among
recommendations we're:
Appropriation of SIG, 100000 for hos
pitals; transfer of all government
hospitals, including soldiers homes
not needed by the army and navy. to
the bureau, creation of chaplain
corps for service In hospitals and
training centers; provision Of ceme-
teries at soldiers hospitals; standard
ization of training. permitting the APP
plicant to select as far as possible his
own vocation; extension of insurance
to $4,000 to each policyholder II he
desires, and extension of insurance
and compensation privileges to Amer
leans who served in allied forces.
Cancellation of contracts with state,
municipal and private hospitals not
in existence April 1. 1917, and with
all similar institutions which are
found unsuitable, was recommended
as one administrative reform, others

Mckinley and along the Lincoln high
way. Immediately after the ceremony
the trowel was sent to Chicago for tho
American Legion. In dedicating the
trees, Mr.. Pack said
''The elm is inseparably connected
with the past and present Of America.
For such an avenue this is fitting
spot---the memorial to Abraham Lin
coin. Look about you and you see
him. He and the United States are
Identical He and you men who

you fought are identical He, Eternal

All Are Early at Work.

The day begins early for everybody
in Belgium. and particularly with the
wage-earners. More than half of Bel
gums population lives outside the
towns, and they are mp at their work
before the gray dawn Is dispersed by
| the rising sun, and on clear mornings
| the lights of hundreds Of cottages
may be seen wing with the stars as
| they twinkle forth their message OF
households bestirring.
In the towns and cities the people
are downtown almost as early as their
neighbors across the English Chan
mel are at breakfast. They get their
midday meal around noon. and they
go home for 1t. since remarkably low
| tramway fares make this possible. So
II is that, instead of a mug of milk
and a sandwich at some quick lunch.
many a Belgian burgher shuts up shop
at II, goes home to his largest meal
of the day, eats it leisurely, and re-
turns downtown by 2 o'clock.
The Belgian government has always
felt a keen interest in the welfare OF
the wage-earner and the man Of small
affairs. and has made 1t possible for
them tC buy homes on easy terms.
The national savings bank is empow-
cred to make loans to householders
for buying or building homes, and to
insure their lives, SO that In the event
of death the family will not lose its
equity in the place, and can use the

French. and only 10 per cent Of the
people can speak both. The Flemish
influence never crossed the Mouse riv-
er toward the east, and the Walloon
influence reached but a short distance
toward the west from that beautiful
valley. The line of demarcation be-
tween the two peoples Is rather sharp
ly marked.
There Is physical difference be-
tween the Walloons of eastern Bel
GUM and the Flemings of western
Belgium, just as there is difference
of tongue and stock. The Walloons
are of stouter build and greater stat
ure, and are dark where the Flemings
are fair, thus bespeaking the COM
mingling of Spanish blood. On the
other hand the Flemings are the more
industrious of the two peoples, and
their women are said to be able to pre-
pare the best meals out of the fewest
things of almost any race in the world.
Living was cheap in pre-war Bel
GUM. The people had thoroughly
mastered the art of intensive farming,
and the land, before the great war
descended upon the country with its
heel of iron, blossomed with the milk
and honey Of plenty. Being contig-
uous to the North sea fishing grounds,
1t has always possessed liberal sup
ply of fish, which Is staple article
of diet with the people.
If living s4ls cheap in Belgium 1t
was no cheaper than conditions called
for, because wages certainly were low.
Many lace-workers, making the ex-
quisite laces that bear the Belgium
mark, worked from the rising to the
setting Of the sun for five dollars a
week. 1t is said that the average wage
of all the breadwinners of the country
approximated only $3.50 year.
The children work after they are
twelve, and all hands in working
mans family must keep busy in order
that no mouth shall go hungry. Even
at this 1t requires, even In normal
times, the utmost frugality to make the
buckle of income meet the tongue Of
outgo. So must the Belgian house
wife be an excellent manager. The
Belgian wage-earning classes eat but
little animal food, and most Of thai
| is fish.
