APPEAL FOR ROADS
/. IN H|SLAST LETTER
EpistIe by A. G. BatcheIder
Before Crash Urged High
way Commission.

When A. q. Batchelder, executive
chairman Of the American Automobile
Association. fell to his death in the
May 2s. he left behind him. as his last
work for better highways. a letter ad-
dressed to all motor club officials tell
ing them that the national highway
legislation was in its final stage in Con-
gress and asking them to give their
support to the Townsend measure as
the ons containing all the principles so
long fought for by the A A A.
Mr.. Batchelder did not live to sign
David Jamison read it he promptly sent
it forward to all clubs affiliated with the
A A. A.. together with brief post
script calling attention to 1t as the las.
e1ort and request of the leader.
Monument to Memory.
There Is nothing we could do which
would be a greater monument to Mr..
creation Of a federal highway COM
mission and a concentration of federal
funds first on the primary interstate
highways" said George c. Diehl.
president of the organization, on the
eve of his departure for Europe. LAS
a n1dIteT Oh SOunQ economies ana as
a safeguard for the transportation of
the future. the nation needs such a
highway policy as that which Sena-
tor Townsend has placed before Con-
1ress.
Organizations which have had ex-
ports studying this plan. such as the
National Grange, the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States and
many other large associations. have
given the principles written into the
bill their unqualified approval, and
1t Is my own feeling that there is no
step Congress could take at this sea-
son which would mean more to the
country at large than the enactment
into law OF this measure"
Public Hearings Ended.
Both Senate and House have now
concluded their public hearings on
highway legislation. and as the pres
ent federal aid appropria tions expire
June 80. there is a general belief
that action will be taken In the very
near future.
The Senate committee has had the
Townsend measure under considera-
tion while the Dowell bill has been
before the House.
The latter has not had the support
OF the A. A. A, because, according to
its leaders. the bill is incomplete, in
That It does not provide for a commits
sion. which. highway experts say, is
an essential phase to the proper ma
tional highway administration.

Royal Gift of Paper.
From tn Detroit Nem.

From TIE Detroit Views.
There was q time when only the
nobility. the great personages Of his
tory, could enjoy the use Of paper.
and then in only the most meager
quantities. Only 1900 years ago En-
perof Trajan of Rome was the de-
consisting Of twenty reams Of PAPER
from the Emperor Of China In that
age and time twenty reams Of the
precious fabric was considered a royal
gift indeed. and only a. potsntate with
the vast resources Of Chino at his
disposal could afford to give a pres
ent Of such value.
One can imagine the citation en-
joyed by Trajan upon receiving SO
great q quantity Of paper, and thus
know that through such generosity
he was to augment the number Of
volumes contained in his library

MAY DROP WOOD BLOCK.
japanese Likely to Adopt Bitumi
nous Paving, Is Report.
From the Chicago Tribune

From the Chicago Tribune.
japanese cities will adopt bituminous
pavement rather than the wooden block
now in favor, if the findings Of Prof. T.
Takakuwa of Toxic University are
needed.
The professor has been studying paw
ing methods in America and expresses
his confidence in the bituminous pave
ment for use in his native land.
Asphalt, however. is not generally
favored by Japanese highway engineers
he says. because of unfortunate expert
ence in the past and the availability OF
great quantities Of native wood which
might be used for paving purposes.

Americans, Japanese and Italians
