prepared by the United States Department

The United States Is now In period
of great highway development, and in
few years many roads, which now
carry only local traffic originating
largely within five or ten miles Of the
road, will be carrying a large percent
age of through traffic, much of 1t COM
ing from outside the state. This is
the opinion of officials of the bureau
of public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. based upon the
report of two traffic censuses taken by
the bureau In cooperation with the
state highway department of Connect

The roads selected were part of
fairly complete, system of highways.
The first census showed an average OF
2907 passenger cars and 281 trucks
passing the recording station a day;
and the second, 1892 cars and 511
trucks. Forty-seven per cent of the
cars came from within the state.
Drivers were questioned as to length
of travel for the day, and results
showed average figures Of 20 miles and
52.4 miles for the two censuses.,
The average haul for truck traffic
was AIS miles, some of them hauling
a distance of $50 miles, Officials point
out that traffic of this nature has de-
veloped in period of something like
ten years on a road which prior to

FRENCH ROADS BROKE

Some persons have pointed to
the macadam roads of France as
the type of roads that America
should adopt. Yet these persons
have, perhaps, not thoroughly in
vestigated present conditions.
These roads, which have been a
matter Of pride to France for
centuries, are all maintained by
patrolmen. Each man devOtes
his time the year around to the
keeping up Of a few hundred
yards Of roadway. But, even so,
these roads went to pieces when
heavy traffic was put on them
during the war. These roads
were built for horse and foot
traffic. and served that purpose
very well. but motor lorries,
guns, ETC.. cut up these roads
quickly.

reports of revolution in the kingdom
circulated in a section of the foreign

Paris-The general feeling in Paris
is that the danger point in the Near

al of the Turks from Eren Keui, and,

solution of the difficulty.
