FIRST MODERN HIGHWAY

Boston, Mass-New light has just
been shed in the discussion concerning
the origin and development of improv--
ed highways in the world. No less a
parsonage than Edward w. Box con-
tributes the newest bit of information.
Edward Box is one of the best
known publicists in the United States.
For thirty years he was editor of the
Ladies Home Journal. More than a
million readers felt they were almost
personally acquainted with him while
he was editorially active. Thousands
more have come to know him through
reading his famous autobiography,
"The Americanization of Edward Box
He was born in Holland.
1t is generally known that Appius
Claudius, the Roman censor, built the
first really durable highway in 81 B.
C. This highway named the Appian
Way, runs from Rome to Capua. 1t
still exists and carries ira Il fife. Al
though it involves many features ap-
plicable to present day construction,
the cost of building such highway
today would be prohibitive.
The Appian Way was built princi-
pally by slaves and was designed for
q military highway. The labor cost
was practically nil. It was construct
ed of stone and mortar, frequently to
a depth of four feet, and was surfaced
with stone slabs or gravel.
The question, however, as to the
origin Of the modern type Of highway
surface has always been in dispute.
Under modern types" are included
yitrified brick, asphalt and concrete.
Herein lies the interest in the follow
ing quotation taken from an article
written by Edward Box and published
In the October issue Of the Atlantic
Monthly. Under the title, swell,
Didn't Know That" Mr.. Box writes:
II was watching brick road being
built in Pennsylvania, when the con-
tractor said to me: Best kind of a

FRIENDSHIP
You can buy, if you have money, all
you need to drink and eat,
You can pay for bread and honey
and can keep your palate sweet.
But when trouble comes to fret you
and when sorrow comes your way,
For the gentle hand of friendship that
you need, you cannot pay.
You can buy gold and silver things
you've got to have to wear
You can purchase all that's needful
when your skies are bright and fair.
But when clouds begin to gather and
when trouble rules the day,
Your money doesn't lure friend worth
while to come your way.
For the hand that's warm and gripping
and the heart that's tender, too,
Are what all men living sigh for when
they're sorrowful and blue,
For there's nothing that's so soothing
and so comforting right then,
As the gladly given friendship Of a
fellows fellowmen.
