MORE MONEY NEEDED
FOR HIGHWAYS, SAYS
NOTED ROAD EXPERT

WASHINGTON, July 11.-"Plan
now the financing of highways for the
future and place highway transporta-
ton which has become an indispen>
sable part of our natioanl life, on a
firm foundation
This advice was sounded by Thomas
| II. Mcdonald, chief of the Bureau of
Public Roads of the agriculture de-
partment.
Asserting that the United States is
starting out to construct a system of
highways such as no nation ever con-
structed before, Mcdonald declared
this great undertaking is being enter
ed into because highways are not a
luxury, but furnish a real service,
have a real earning capacity and have
become a national necessity" The
nearest approach to the titanic high-
way construction contemplated by the
United States, according to Mcdonald,
is found in France and Germany, and
the area of neither is as large as Tex
as
For such an undertaking to be sue
cessful, Mcdonald said, Financing to
care for maintenance, reconstruction
ned for long period of years in ad-
vance Changes in methods of raising
funds every few years, uncertainty as
to whether funds will be provided and
periods in which funds are not pro-
vided all increase the final cost of
highways. Such a policy would soon
bring any private business to disaster.
Development and increase in num-
bers of motor vehicles and the coinc-
roads," Mcdonald continued, "have
come so rapidly that methods of rails
ing funds have often been eXpedients
for the time being. Consideration has
been given not so much to the just
distribution of the cost as to how the
funds can be raised with the leasr
controversy and the utmost ease. Then
toe, the use made of the highways
and the service rendered by them
have changed greatly Within the last
few years"
Mcdonald estimated that of the
5000, 100000 spent for highways last
year 33 per cent was federal aid and |
revenue. The remain |
ing 81 per cent, he said, came eithe. |
directly or will eventually be paid |
from state and local taxes.
"a very considerable readjustment |
0f the source of revenues must be
made so that a larger percentage will /,
be paid by the road user and lesser |,
percentage from state or local taxes"
Mcdonald declared.

WANT OUR MARKETS
Foreign Manufacturers and American
Importers Are Groaehy About
Tariff.

European countries have been con-
ducting a propaganda for over a year
against the enactment Of an American
protective tariff. In this they have
been aided by the international bank
ers in this country, the free traders
and the importing interests, all of
whom place the prosperity Of Europ-
can manufacturers above the prosperi-
ty of American manufacturers and the
welfare Of American working men.
Since it became q certainty that a
protective tariff would be enacted this
session of Congress, European propa-
upon the United States and upon the
protective tariff. They are now claim
ing the tariff will ruin them and will
make it utterly impossible for them
to repay any Of the loans made to
them by this government during the
war.
Metropolitan papers are reprinting
editorials from British, French, Ger
man, Italian and other European news
papers berating the United States for
protecting its own industries, safe
guarding its own markets and afford
ing steady employment to its own
workmen.
They denounce the tariff as q selfish
policy. This in face of the fact that
every European nation has written at
least one tariff (some Of them have
written three or four) since the arm
istice, each one being higher in its
rates than the preceding one, until to-
day, in many European countries, tar
if rates practically amount to an en-
barge.
All Of this propaganda is finding
ready echo in Democratic newspapers
and from Democratic members of Con-
gress and other Democratic leaders
who are on the stump. They are all
fearful that the protective tariff is 60
ing to throw some European working
men out of a job and deprive some
European manufacturers Of q chance
to exploit the American market. Ac-
cording to their theory, it is very self
ish for this country to adopt a policy
which protects its own industries and
its own working men. They would
have the country 'altruistic" to the ex-
tent that our working men would be
walking the streets, our manufacturers
without business, our American farm
ers without home market for their
produce all in order that European
nations might fatten on our adversely.
In this connection it is very profit
able to recall the sentiments Of Presi-
dent Harding in his annual message
to Congress last December, wheu he
urged the enactment of 4 protective
tariff. In that message he took cog
nizance of just this propaganda and
gave his opinion of it thus:
Sensible of every obligation of hu-
manity, commerce and finance, linked.
as they are, in the present world con-
dition, it is not to be argued that we
need destroy ourselves to be helpful
to others. With all my heart l wish
restoration to the peoples biighte1 by
the awful World War, but the process
of restoration does not lie in our &C
ceptance Of like conditions. It were
better to remain on firm ground,
strive.for ample employment and high
standards Of wage at home, and point
the way to balanced budgets, rigid
economies and resoluue, efficient work
as the necessary remedies to cure dis
aster.

seek to save ourselves when the pro-

THE CoRsETLEss CRAZE,


II all the advertising I read is
true the college man must set the
fashions IN mems clothing, for a
great deal of prominence is al
ways given to what the college
man is going to consider proper
for the coming season.
Why don't we let the college
girls set the fashions? l can't
imagine any more sensible class
to be made leaders. But as it is
they not only do not set the
styles, they are not even supposed
10 follow them. When the high
heeled pointed shoe fad was at
its height, such round -toed, broad
heeled shoes as were made We're
labelled briefly college girls
shoes" and were put somewhere
on the back shelves. The college
girl is supposed to live in tweed
skirts, tailored waists and sweat
ers and few fashion shops cater
to her tastes.
I'd like to see the college girl
made arbiter of style just as the
various college cuts influence
mems tailoring. When l was Wis
iting Bryn Mawr last fall | was
told that only one girl in the en-
tire college wore high heels, and
only one was even suspected Of
using rouge. Now there is q
story from Boston University that

healthier manner of dressing. One

Efficient Housekeeping has

my problems which might prove
of benefit to the rest of my fell
low-sufferers. One of the buga-
boos in the life of most house
keepers is the disposition OF the

three things: I. Hire woman to

it to a public laundry. have

an expense, and to find a really
competent and conscientious one
is not easy. Then, it means that
most of the ironing is left over
and IL the day is unfavorable the
housewife must see to most OF
the drying of the clothes on the
following day.
The second way-doing it one
self-is all right if one has an

a woman is abundantly healthy,
sometimes she saves doctors bills
