JUDGES SELECTED
Good Roads Scholarship Awarded An.
nually Offers Wonderful Oppor-
tunity to Boys and Girls.

Names of judges appointed to
award the four years university
scholarship offered in connection with
the national good roads essay contest
are announced by the highway educa-
ton board.
The judges are: Henry c. Wallace,
secretary of agriculture; George
Horace Lorimer, editor of the Satur-
day Evening Post, and DR.. John
Grier Hibben, president of Princeton
University. The judges accepted re-
sponsibility for the award of the
scholarship at the invitation Of DR..
John J. Tigert, United States commits
sioner Of education, who also is chair
man of the board.
They have been supplied with
copies of fifty-four essays, represent
ing each state, as we'll as the District
of Columbia, the Canal Zone, the Phil
ippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
Alaska. Selection of the best essays,
out Of the thousands written in the
states and territories, was made by
leading educational institutions, such
as state university, or the state de-
partment of education.
It is estimated by officials of the
board that at least 250,000 pupils of
high school grade participated in the
contest, and these fifty-four manu-
scripts, therefore, represent the
cream of all papers presented. Essays
were written on the subject, "How
good roads are developing my COM
munity." In many states local prizes
were given, as we'll as state prizes by
the institutions conducting the contest.
The scholarship is given by H. S.
Firestone, Akron, Ohio, member of
the highway education board. It is
intended to defray tuition and ex-
penses of the student in college and is
valued at not less than $4,000. The
successful student, to be selected by
the judges, may attend any college
or university in the United States. 1t
is expected that the judges will reach
a decision in time to permit the sue
cessful boy or girl to enter college
this autumn. The scholarship is given
annually for the best essay on a sub
ject pertaining to good roads.-Sci-

AS unemployment conditions of last
year were the result of perhaps the
greatest industrial depression the
United States has ever known, it fol-
lows that their return to normal evi-
dences the passing of that depression.
When it is borne in mind that the re-
turn of conditions to normal has been
and is being obstructed by serious in
dustrial conflicts, this evidence of re-
turning prosperity becomes still more
impressive. If America can register
economic gain under such handicap,
it will register greater gain when that
hindrance passes.

Unemployment Normal.

Secretary of Labor Davis states
that unemployment conditions have
been restored to normal, and substan-
tiates his assertion with facts and
figures. This corroborates the testi
mony borne by financial and industrial
interests to improvement in economic
conditions.
One year ago it was estimated that
the army of unemployed numbered
more than 100000. Today that host
is demobilized. It's ranks have been

submit for bids soon after July !. 1t is
believed that the actual work Of widen
ing will be started about October l.
The announcement Of this improve
ment comes as the final result of sew
eral years Of effort on the part Of the
property owners and business men on
Madison Avenue, from Fortieth to
Seventy Street During the
summer of 1921 the street was widened
from Fortieth to SiXtieth street and
the present widening represents the
completion OF the original project.
Douglas /. Gilman. president Of
Douglas \. Gilman G. Co, Inc, in speak
ing Of this Improvement, called atten-
tion to the fact that it was in 1917 that
the Madison Avenue committee of the
Fifth Avenue Association first consid-
cred the project as means Of reliev-
ing the tremendous north and south
traffic burden on Fifth and Park ave
nues, and also TO provide for the great
" increased traffic that was sure to re-
suit from the business development Of
Madison Avenue, which was then be
ginning to take definite form At the
re quest Of Borough President Frank L..
Dcwling. the matter was allowed to
rest at that time. due to lack of funds,
and President Wilson's urgent request
for economy in all public works as a
means to aid in winning the war.
Widening Has Helped Avenue
The campaign was renewed during
1919, and in July, 1921, the actual work
Of widening was begun between Forty
sixth and Sixtieth streets, the work be-
tween Fortieth and Forty sixth streets
having already been done The CO.
operation of the Borough Presidents
office and the contractors resulted in
the work being done in the record time
Of sixty days, with. according to the
records of the Fifth Avenue Associa~
tjon, no interruption to free traffic
movement during that time.
Speaking of the present work, Mr.
Gilman says: There is no doubt that
it is a badly needed Improvement. The
widening below Sixtieth Street has
been of unreasonable benefit in i'm

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU
PAY, BUT WHAT YOU GET
FOR WHAT YOU PAY

There Is only one safe way
of making a bargain when turn
ing in a used motor car toward
the purchase Of a new car And
that is to be absolutely certain
that you pay fair price for the
new car and not be misled by
fictitious allowance on the old
one.
II you are offered more for
your old car than you know in
your own mind 1t is actually
worth, just ask yourself who will
pay for the extra allowance.
You cannot get something for
nothing Such a deal in connec-
ton with motor car is Just as
impossible as 1t is with any other
standard, legitimate product.
Every used car has real value.
Although the value might vary
slightly, according to different
appraisals. 1t nevertheless has
definite value easily ascertained.
