ROAD

MOTORTRUCKS AND HIGHWAYS
Farmer Enabled to Secure Better
Prices by Delivering Products Di-
rect to Market

There Is a worthy movement on foot
for better roads. Every business man
every home provider and every motor
LIST should support 1t. Good roads ben
eft all classes Of people In their every
day life.
This vast country has grown go
enormously and % fast that Its rail
reads cannot deliver the goods nor
carry the people As the prosperity Of
the country and present demands re-
Quire.
With good roads the farmer can de
liver all his products direct to towns
within a radius Of fifty or more miles
and though making more profit him
self, he is reducing the high cost of
living.
The merchant is able to take ad-
vantage of new sources of supply, to
buy his stock under favorable condi-
tions. and give 1t on sale to his Gus
toners in less time than he could have
secured delivery by the slower and
costlier railway express and freight
service. With motortrucks he can then
re-deliver TO his customers and give
better service over a larger territory
Automobile delivery will increase his
business, lessen his costs and increase
his profits.
Millions of dollars are lost every
year through perishable goods spoil
ing on the railroads, because of freight
delays and complications. lnter-city
motorexpress over distances of 100 or
more miles has already become a prof
liable business where good roads eX-
list. Single large firms have actually
saved over 100000 yearly by using mo-
tortrucks and they will undoubtedly
contribute largely TO organized i'm
provement of roads.
Good roads are paying investment.
Local authorities in cities, towns and
counties should act without delay to

HOUSING SITUATION
WILL BE TAKEN UP

Washington.-Estim placing the
shortage of houses in America at
more than 1,25O,O0O will be placed
before the national council of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States at a meeting to be held In
Washington Jan. q and %, which
will discuss measures to relieve the
situation
For number OF years prior to
the world war;" said John Ihlder,
manager of the national chambers
civic development department, ut is
conservatively estimated that there
were erected in the United States
between $4,000 and 100000 family
dwellings year. This includes homes
and apartments. During the war
construction of houses was practically
at a standstill with the exception of
what building was done by the gov
ernment. AS a result of this we came
out Of the war far behind our regular
building program. In 1919 It is esti-
mated that there were built only about
10000 houses in the United States,
while those erected during 1920 will
probably turn out to have been even
smaller than that figure.
while It is true there are many
houses for sale these are nearly all
now occupied by tenants. The num-
ber of houses for rent in most COM
munities is practically nil, and the
majority of these houses are not
suitable for the needs Of the average
wage Garner. A man with an income
of $4,000 year or more does not
have as much trouble getting desira-
Bile quarters as the wage Garner who
can not afford to pay high rents. The
wage Garner and those having small
salaries are the ones hit hardest by
the housing shortage. It is for these
folks that decent homes must be
built"

STRENGTH OF NAVIES
DIFFERENT POWERS
England Has Twice as Many
Warships as U. Japan
Half as Many.

to be complete information as to the
relative naval strength Of the principal
world powers ie now In possession Of
the American government. Whether 1t

relations committee in connection
with that committees consideration Of
proposals looking to world disarma-
ment has not been disclosed.
The information has been compiled
in the form Of tables which show that
Great Britain's sea power Is double
that OF the United States and that
although the British preponderance In
capital ships will practically have
been overcome by the United States
with the completion in 1923 OF the
American building program. the
American navy will be still greatly
inferior in types of vessels, which
naval officers regard as extremely i'm
portant, notably destroyers, cruisers,
and light cruisers, cruising subma-
rines and airplane ships.
The American navy today, accord
ing to this information, has more than
double strength of the Japanese navy
and this ratio will be maintained even
with the completion of the building
programs of the two countries. The
United States will be far superior not
only in capital ships but also in de
stroyers and submarines Japan, how
ever. will have double the number of
battle cruisers, now possessing four
such vessels with eight others pro-
iected, while the United States has

Gallant War Services.


During the recent war. nOtwith-
standing the use of telephones, wire
less and all the methods of communi-
cation which modern genius has in
vented, pigeons played an invaluable
and gallant part.
In the United States there Is prob
ably not a city which cannot boast of
racing pigeon fanciers, while clubs and
associations for the advancement and
enjoyment of the facinating sport of
racing the birds are being constantly
formed in Eastern, Western, and TO
some extent In Southern cities. Lofts
Of homing pigeons are maintained by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture at the government poultry
farm at Beltsville, Md. and the de-
partment holds a membership in the
Washington Racing Pigeon club. a
branch of the American Racing Pigeon
union. Many of the Washington club
races flown during the past summer
and fall have been won by Department
of Agriculture birds, which number
about $50.
Just what faculty enables the hon.
ing pigeon to return to It's loft many
miles away Ia a point OF dispute
among eminent homing-pigeon breed
ers. Some attribute II to remarkable
instinct. Others maintain that this
bird has sight so brilliant and power
ful that II is able to see much farther
than any other species, while there are
some who claim that 1t is the ex-
treme and strong attachment for
home, coupled with peculiar memory.
Training the Birds.
It is necessary to keep the birds In
good condition with plenty Of outdoor
exercise. both in good and bad wealth
or. IL they are TO have endurance for
long flights. The young birds are
usually Matched in February and
March. During the time when the eggs
are being incubated and the young
cared for, only one of pair is trained
each day. On alternate days the other
"a shipped to the training station. In
this way the breeding is not interfered
with, and the eggs or young are never
left without one or the other of the
old birds.
In the beginning of the training the
birds are conveyed In a basket not
more than six or eight blocks from
their lofts to an open spot away from
buildings. The basket is faced toward
the loft and the birds liberated at
once. At this distance pigeon spe-
cialists advise practicing them from
all points of the compass. The next
step is to select the route over which
It is intended to fly the birds. From
half mile the distance can be in
creased to / mile, then 5, 10, 80, 100,
and 800. until the longest distance has
been reached.
Fly in Clear Weather.
Clear weather should always be Sc
lected for the birds flights. for many
birds are lost during stormy period.
Then, too, good weather is especially
necessary for rapid flying.
II is considered best not to be In
too great haste in having the birds fly

the time to develop their faculties,
strengthen the muscles, educate the
