WAR RoBs THREE OF MEMORY
Trio Among Most Unusual Cases on
Record at Veterans Bureau
in Washington.

Three men who have lost them
selves and whose memory does not
extend back to the war where they
received injury, are among the most
unusual cases on record at the Vet
erans bureau in Washington, D. c.,
among the long list of war victims.
The American Legion is endeavoring
to assist the unfortunate ex-service
men in finding their relatives.
Hayward Thompson-at least that
Is what he is now called-is one of
the most peculiar cases. He has for
gotten who he is. In his head is an
ugly shrapnel wound. His memory
goes back to January %, 1922, when
he arrived at hotel in Denver, with
bill in his pocket from one of the
most expensive hotels in Colorado
Springs. His memory, he now believes,
lapsed somewhere, either far back
In France or on the trip between Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. Thompson
remembers having had $1,000 in his
pocket and access to many thousands
more.
In searching Washington records for
some trace of the lost man, it was
found that a certain Hayward Thomp-
son enlisted In the Marine corps June
| 5, 1918, and was discharged January
| 6, 1919. He had wife and three
| children at Pennington, Mo-. and a
mother, Mrs. Louise Thompson, at
| Chicago. The man with shrapnel
wound in his head and no memory of
any relatives at all, telegraphed in
great eagerness to Pennington, Mo-,
and to Chicago. He received no
! answer.

man appeared at Los Angeles hospi-

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
The United States is now in a period
Of great highway development. and in
few years many roads which now
carry only local traffic originating
largely within FIVE or ten miles of the
road, will be carrying large percent
age of through traffic, much of it COM
ing from outside the state. This is
the opinion of officials of the bureau
of public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, based upon the
report of two traffic censuses taken by
the bureau in cooperation with the
state highway department of Connecti-
cut.
The roads selected were part of a
fairly complete system of highways.
The first census showed an average of
2,907 passenger cars and PSI trucks
passing the recording station a day !;
and the second, 1882 cars and 511
trucks. Forty-seven per cent of the
cars came from within the state.
Drivers were questioned as to length
of travel for the day. and results
showed average figures of 20 miles and
52.4 miles for the two censuses.
The average haul for truck traffic
was ATS miles, some of them hauling
a distance of 250 miles. officials point
out that traffic of this nature has de-
veloped in a period of something like
ten years on road which prior to

FRENCH ROADS BROKE

Some persons have pointed to
the macadam roads of France as
the type of roads that America
should adopt. Yet these persons
have. perhaps, not thoroughly In
vestigated present conditions.
These roads. which have been a
matter of pride to France for
centuries. are all maintained by
patrolmen. Each man devotes
his time the year around to the
keeping up of few hundred
yards of roadway. But, even so.
these roads went to pieces when
heavy traffic was put on them
during the war. These roads
were built for horse and foot
traffic, and served that purpose
very well. but motor lorries,
guns. ETC.. cut up these roads

1910 carried almost entirely local traf-
fic. 1t must be concluded, therefore,
they say, that roads which are now be-
ing improved to form part of through
highway routes should be designed
to take care of great deal more than
the local traffic or that which is ex-
pected to originate locally with the
coming of better roads.

FRAUD DISCLOSED IN WEST

SAN DIEGO. Cal. March o.
Startling disclosures which in the
opinion OF investigators may lead to
a national scandal were believed
likely today to develop in connection
with probe of an alleged conspir-
acy to defraud the government out
of approximately $s50,000 in a sale
of army goods at San Diego.
Federal agents inquiring into the
circumstances surrounding the sale
said today that the suspected plot to
defraud apparently has wide ramifi,
cations, extending to all parts of the
country and likely to involve persons
in Eastern cities in similar govern
ment sales.
