BARUCH FAVORS REED PLAN
Prominent Market Manipulation Would
b. Let Taxpayers Build Warehouses.

Bernard NJ. Baruch. Democrat and
prominent multimillionaire market
manipulation. is strongly IN favor of
Clyde NJ. Reeds plan 10 let the tax
payers build public warehouses and
elevators. The New York broker and
market expert has endorsed Reed
proposal for a series OF state owned
elevators to relieve the grain conges-
ton at terminal points.
Baruch believes it would be a fine
idea for the state to provide funds for
the elevator building project. In time,
he asserts, the state would get its
money back thru various revenues
paid by the crop growers. Baruch has
written a letter to Reed approving the
state ownership plans. He said in
part:
Il said then that if private individ-
pals could not build the elevators that
the state should. If you will permit
me to say so, l think you have made
a mistake in even admitting that the
question of paternalism is involved in
the matter.
ut is true that the stare would ad-
vance money for the building of the
elevators. But every busnef of wheat
going into the elevators should be
made to pay a charge sufficient to
cover the interest and amortization,
let us say, in thirty years, of the
bonds issued to build them
Further, the charge should be
made sufficient to incluGe the cost of
upkeep for the elevators. In this way
the farmers themselves would pay for
the elevators"

SERVES is CITIES
Victory Highway Their Only
TranscontinentaI Motor Road.
Route Was Laid Out as Shortest
and Most Practicable.

When the Victory highway. from
San Francisco, Cal, to New York city,
was laid out, more than a year ago.
the chief factors taken into account
were the shortness and practicability
of the route chosen. The shortest
distance between the two termini, on
the shores of the two oceans. was
taken as the base. The condition of
the roads available, the prospects for
their Improvement, and the general
fitness of the highway were consid-
cred, not as a local proposition but
as a transcontinental route. This
was in keeping with the fact that it
was dedicated as a memorial to all the
men and women of the country who
served their country during the World
war.
Not a person was asked to become
a member of the Victory Highway as
ISOLATION, until the route had been
laid out. Not city has been asked
to give a bonus to the association in
thru that city. When the route had
been chosen and marked, then mem
berships were solicited from the in
dlviduals and the communities which
stood to receive benefits from the
highways. Routing of the Victory
highway was never made contingent
upon the raising of any quota of funds
or the promise of any other form OF
support to the project or to the assoc
citation.
And when the routing had been
completed it was found that no less
than eighteen OF the most important
cities of the country from coast to
coast. had been placed on transcon-
tinental motor road for the first time.
Why Cities Are for 1t.
At the present time, the Victory
highway is the only motor road which
can claim to reach tide water at both
terminals, which touches the follow
ing cities: San Francisco, Oakland
and Sacramento, Calf; Reno ana
Lovelock, New; Denver. Colo; To-
peka, Kan; Kansas City and ST..
Louis Mo; Terre Haute and Indian
apolis, Ind; Dayton, Columbus and
Springfield, Ohio; Wheeling, w. Va;
Washington, D. c.; baltimore and
Wilmington. Del.
an this fact-that the Victory
Highway brought to these cities, all of
them with populations greater than
$4,000, the first opportunity of par
ticipating in the advantages of trans
continental motor routes found the
secret of the vigorous support of the
highway which has been Immediately
Forthcoming from the western cities
along the route.
National officials of the association
believe that the eastern cities on the
Victory Highway will be equally quick
in recognizing their advantage offered
to them by the Victory Highway and
equally liberal with their support,
when the time has come for asking
them for assistance.

Since their opportunities for church
attendance, golfing, cross country hik-
ing, visiting around. and motoring
over the fair countryside, are cur

city and county who are detained
against their wishes at the county and
city prisons. with particular profund-
ity on the Sabbath. When the rest OF
the world makes holiday, their en-
forced leisure is doubly hard.
1t was probably with this fact in
mind that friends of some of the pris-
oners in the city prison Sunday, de-
cided to try to liven up the existence
of several persons held there on the
charge of having dope in their posses
sion. Take a snow-brid's Snow away
and lock him up on a beautiful Sun
day, and he needs shot-that's the
way the friends figured at any rate.
Mrs. Bessie NJ. Webb, matron at the
city prison, found her duties in inter-
cepting presents of morphine and
other dope, particularly heavy Sunday.
Three attempts were made to
smuggle the narcotics 10 prisoners, in
food which was brought to them.
In can of syrup, Mrs. Webb found
a tightly closed tin box which held a
generous shot of dope ana a note pen
ciled on thin tissue paper. The box
was sunk to the bottom of the syrup
can.
In piece of pie there was also con-
cealed a quantity of dope, which Mrs,
Webb happened upon.
Pat O'Brien, feeling sympathy we'll

Two combatants now

Dental science, after long research, has
found two film combatants. One acts to
curdle film, one to remove it. Able authori-
ties have amply proved their efficiency.
Now leading dentists the world over are
urging their daily use.
A new tooth paste has been created,
based on modern research. It brings FIVE
effects now considered essential. 1t avoids
several old mistakes.
This tooth paste is called Pepsodent.
And those two great film conabatants are
embodied in it.
