Statement by johnson.
In statement relating to the Lee
highway, Director General Johnson
says: From practically every county
seat in the series of counties between
the national capital and San Diego
the city pavement extends consider
able distance in either direction, and
in many sections the pavement is
continuous for a hundred miles or
more. This series of pavement is now
to be connected. The road is of pri-
mary Importance to each state, and
Its completion will be main factor
in the further development Of the
state. 1t is a road of great local i'm.
portance to series Of towns and
cities stretching across the continent
and the connecting Of these various
sections Of pavement will be prime
factor in the further development Of
the nation, since It will facilitate In
terstate travel and promote the free
/ commingling of the people Of ths
East and the West. 1t will probably
be shorter than any other Southern
.transcontinental highway and car
therefore be completed more quickly
| Within the next three years, and pos.
sibly sooner, there is every reason to
anticipate modern motorway be-
tween the capital city Of the nation
and southern California"
The Lee Highway association is one
of the youngest of such organizations,
having begun it's work only 20
months ago. G. II. Huston, assistant
secretary Of commerce, is president of

Most foor-heaters for autom~Sn-s

automobile that affords no protection
for the driver against cold, such as
taxieabs, town cars and limousines.
The radiator is simply an ordinary

GOOD WORK BY MELLON

Another issue of low-interest bearing gov
eminent refunding bonds has been oversub-
scribed Subscriptions were nearly three times
the available issue. The experience of many
who sold their Liberty bonds to invest the pro-
ceeds in other securities has taught them the
value of bonds backed by Uncle Sam.
Secretary Melons refunding and retirement
plans have been so far successful that in the in
terval between April so. 1921, and September
80, 1922, the gross public debt had been reduced
from d million dollars to $22.8OO,OOOOOO and
about $4.0OO.OOO.0O0 of the early maturing debt
had been retired or refunded. Gradually the
secretary of the treasury has put the nation
financial house in such order that the huge
amount of obligations maturing within the next
IL months will prove no embarrassment. All
will be discharged according to contract. New
bond issues will be in order periodically. but
the total amount of upblic Indebtedness will con-
stantly decline and the interest burden on tax
payers will be reduced with the restoration of
general business to normal that will be marked
by diminishing costs of money
All these operations should be studied by
the people since they afford usual opportunities
for learning the fine points of financing with one
of the highest authorities in the country in the
role of instructor while he serves the public
interest practically and periodically.

RULES OF WAR.

A commission appointed by the Washing
ton conference on the limitation of ornaments
is to meet at The Hague to consider changes in
the rules on international warfare. It's conclu-
sions are expected to be accepted by the lead
ing powers, who will propose to all other ma
tons that they be made part of recognized
international law.
Any movement to limit the horrors of war
fare deserves the highest commentator and
most enthusiastic support. A commission with
the authority held by this one may we'll arouse
hope. Laws, however, must be enforced to be
useful. and international law is the most diff
cult of all law to find the power to enforce it
There is only one such power, and that is public
opinion; and it must be practically universal to
be effective Such power suppressed the use
of duna-dum bullets in the Spanish American
war, and again in the world war.
But public opinion in its turn is inspired by
motives which decide its character. In quiet
times of peace it is very sane and humani-
tartan, but in the time Of war hot patriotism
sanctions any method to win, matter how
inhuman.
The only effective method to control war
fare is to make war impossible. Public opinion
alone can do'that. It is too much to expect such
a radical change suddenly. But it is to be
hoped that the forthcoming commission will
prove a step toward it.

FIGURES ARE DECEIVING

Some member of the Round Numbers and
End to Enders Club has compiled an interesting
set of figures to show how much womans work
comes to in the ordinary round of 80 years of
household duties.
AT the end of 80 years of married life, we
learn the average woman has served 100000
meals. She has put up more than 5000 jars
of preserves; made $3.50 beds; swept more
| than million square yards of floor space and
busted furniture enough to fill several ware
houses. The time devoted to sweeping and
busting and scrubbing is to be estimated at not
less. than $4,000 hours.
For this particular statistician these fig
ures lead to the query And what has she ac-
complished after all this labor; is she even
permitted to retire with pension after all this
4 work As matter of fact it is probably true
that most women could not be tempted to retire
at the end of 80 years of household work, and
/ if they were pensioned they would want to be
given something else to keep them busy In
which respect they like most men.
But in the matter of figures it must be re-
3membered that these things are meaningful only
v by comparison. Formidable as woman's house
hold duties look when thus totaled over per-
bod of years the numbers look less imposing
when compared to other similar figures. At
v the rate of 1000 bricks day for 800 days a
Ayear a bricklayer will lay 100000 bricks in
$50 years. The number of miles covered by
Apostrnan in his daily round over period of 30
years would probably make our feet ache from
the very reading of it.
This sort of game has infinite possibilities
We might take the case of an elevator girl in
20 story building. Ascertain the number of
trips she makes day. the number of days in
Il year for 80 years Calculate these trips in
humber feet travelled upward; reduce to number
Of miles, and if for period of 30 years the total
distance travelled upward is less than $4,000
miles, it is only because the elevator is the slow
I est one in the world And there is no such ele-
yator.
And figures are deceiving.
