There is something to be learned
from the recent Swing around the
circle" by the President of France
through Morocco. 1t includes visits to
Mohammedan holy places near which,
few years ago. .Christian infidels'
were not permitted. Smiles of well
come met this French party where
formerly all Europeans received scowls
or worse. 1t seems that the history
of Algeria is being repeated and that
French economic penetration is prov
ing a success in this anomalous coun-
try, whose Arabic name means 1.-THE
extreme West,"- but which has har-
bored more tenaciously than Egypt or
Mesopotamia the flavor of the East.
Until a decade ago Morocco scorned
western civilization and had succeeded
in keeping itself at least millennium
and half behind the times. MoSlem
fanaticism ran riot, Jews and Chris
tians We're treated with mixture of
contempt, suspicion and hostility. Be
cause, as result of pressure by the
European powers, Christians were per-
mitted to own land in Tangier, .Moroc-
cans referred to it as a dog town, :
and one Moslem map-maker insisted
on leaving it off the map of Morocco.
Relatively few Europeans lived in the
country outside of Tangier and few
other, coast cities; and in. some OF
the towns considered holy, it was as
much as d non-Moslem foreigners life
was worth to appear.
The Morocco of today is something
of a mixture goyernslentally. The
oretically it is all under the control OF
the sultan OF Morocco. AS matter
uf fact, however, the country Is di
vided into three parts-stiil noninally
under the sultan. Along the Mediter-
ranean and extending inland for so to
100 miles is the narrow zone recog
nized to be under Spanish influence. A
caliph appointed by the sultan is sup
posed to be in control of this zone, as
sisted by Spanish officials. The. city o.
Tangier, on the northwestern point OF
Africa, and small surrounding
district, constitute d special zone
| in which an international commission
assists Moroccan officials. The main
portion of Morocco something like
nineteen-twentieths- under French
protectorate which has existed since
| 1912.

An instrument for testing soils Eon
which roads are to be built has heen
devised by the-buEeau Of public roads
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t consists of metal
disk resting on the soil and support
ing cylinder into which shot can, be
poured. The apparatus is held in
position vertically by means of a
tripod, at the top Of which is mounted
small dial that tells TO. one-thous-
andth Of an inch how far. the disk
sinks into the soil as shot IS poured
into the cylinder. BY means of the
instrument 1t is possible to get in
formation as to how the soil will act
in wet weather.
The kind of soil beneath road sur
face has a, great deal to do with how
1t will stand up under modern traffic,
and engineers look upon this as an i'm
portant consideration in determining
the kind of road to be built. This is
confirmed by number Of instances
where two sections Of the same road
have been built in exactly the same
manner and subjected ito the same
traffic but on different types'of soil.
One section has lasted well while the
other has broken up in a manner that
can only be explained by lack Of
supporting power of the soil beneath
the road
The bureau has for some time been

Gave Liberty

When, in the course of human
events. It became necessary for man.
Kind to have broader basis for its
rights, firmer foundation for its
liberties than 1t ever had enjoyed be-
fore, Thomas Jefferson wrote the
Declaration of Independence.
Much pedantic learning has been
spent to prove that the Declaration is
an unwise political document. From
the viewpoint of special privilege and
hidebound toryism, no proof is needed
ANY assertion of freedom is unwise.
From the viewpoint of struggling,
striving humanity, the Declaration of
Independence is one of the greatest
and wisest documents ever penned.
1t is a call to freedom for its own
sake to freedom as a right, not as
privilege. Before that time, men had
talked much of liberties and little of
liberty. They had based their claims
on charters won-from a reluctant king,
and the gains thus made were the
peculiar property of those who made
them, and Of their heirs and assigns
The gentleman of England had In
herited one set of rights and liberties,
the commoner of the same country an
other and smaller set, the burgher of
Switzerland a third, and so on. There
was no common basis, no unity of out
look. until Jefferson proclaimed and
the Continental congress Endorsed the
bold declaration that men have "a right
10 freedom because they are men, and
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
Jefferson gave Liberty her passports
and started her round the world. The
Declaration of Independence, rather
than the Constitution, is Americas
great contribution to the age of re-
pub:ics.
Adopted Ideas Of Others.
Thomas Jefferson never laid claim
TO originality in framing the Deciara-
ton Of Independence What he Frote
had been written by otbA-s, md the
sentiments he expressed Were those
which were on the tocgye of nearly
every thinking man and woman. Jeffer-
son realized that he was the medium
of expression for the people, On the
contrary, he himself says: Il did not
consider it any part of my charge to
invent new ideas altogether, and to
offer no sentiment which had ever
been expressed before"
The committee treated the work of
their chairman kindly, and the first
