Far-sighted statesman though he
was. Thomas Jefferson could hardly
have foreseen that within a little

France.
The Jefferson highway is rightly

its length with the land of Jefferson.
Its mission Is equally important with
that of the Lincoln highway. The Al

geese from the lakes of Manitoba to
the rice lands of Louisiana. He will
find a delight in the Mississippi that
starts as a modest stream in the
northern woods and develops into a
mile-wide current as it hastens 10

@. An insurance policy upon barn
forbids the keeping of gasoline upon
the premises. Is the keeping of an
automobile in this barn with the
usual amount of gasoline in the tank
a violation of this clause?
A. There is not much authority upon
this point. But in a recent Kansas
case the court held the keeping of an
automobile, as described above, to be
q violation Of the insurance policy
that would prevent recovery. Pru-
dence would seem to indicate the OBJ
