inq Tentative Draft OF Rules
and Regulations.

(Prepared by the United States Department.
of Agriculture)
The secretary OF agriculture i Coh-
sidering a tentative draft OF rules anu
regulations for the administration OF
the federal highway act, approved
last November, under which S'o,po'-
600 is appropriated for the construc'
ton of federal-aid roads, but Will not
promulgate them until he has con-
ferred with representatives OF the
state highway departments. Inc sec
Rotary is impressed with the need Tor
closest possible cooperation between
the federal government and the states
in the development of the federal-alu
highway system called for by the act,
ard the value and serviceability or
the system will not be jeopardlzed by
a hasty decision as to the roads when
will comprise it or the regulations TO
be followed in carrying out the pur-
poses of the legislation.
Fifty million dollars of the APP
prOpriatiOn became available January
1. The remaining S25,0OO,OO was
made Immediately available upon ap-
prevail of the act, November 9, last.
In formulating the fundamental
rules which will govern the states and
the federal government in administer
ing the law. the Department OF Agri-
culture is seeking the counsel of the
state highway departments as repre-
scented by the executive committee OF
the American Association of State
Highway Officials. Members of the COM
mittee are: George p. Coleman, state
highway commission, Virginia; Paul
d. Sargent, chief engineer, Maine; ;

gineer, California; w. X. Neel, state

r. ]. windrow, state highway en-
gineer, Texas; w. ID. Uhler, state
highway engineer, Pennsylvania; and
d. P. Olson, director, bureau of high
ways, Idaho.
Pending definite decision upon de-
tails of the federal highway system,
each project submitted by the states
will be examined with the utmost care
by the bureau of public roads to de-
termine whether 1t Is likely that the
roads proposed will come within the
federal system as finally selected. The
department regards the approval Of
this system as of great Importance.
Each project submitted in advance Of
the definite decision upon the system
as a whole will have an effect in
fixing particular routes and so de-
termining the system. Location Of
the projects, choice of routes, and
character of improvements proposed
will be given close study.
Each state highway department has
been requested to submit as soon as
possible to the Department Of Agricul-
ture a tentative map showing routes
proposed for primary and secondary
systems. In examining and passing
upon these recommendations special
consideration will be given to social
and economic questions involved,
such as service to population, estab-
lished trend Of traffic, existing indus
tries, natural resources, etc. In con-
sidering plans for individual projects
special attention will be devoted to
grade crossings. gradients, curvature,
bridges. general drainage conditions.
location Of materials, supplies, etc.

PERMANENT vIcToRIANs

James Bryce, dying at the age Of
eighty-four, and only about a year
after publishing a very respectable
best seller in Modern Democracies,"
would seem to have met fairly well the
contemporary test for life worth
while, says the New York Herald. 1t
Is surprising how many other Vic
torians have managed to keep going
for a long time; and after all, the
clearest acceptance Of life is to go on
living. At the age Of seventy-four Ar
thur Balfour continues to play tennis.
At the age Of seventy Henry Asquith is
now engaged In staging comeback
In politics. At the age Of ninety-one
Frederic Harrison still finds something
to say about the world as he sees 1t.
At the age Of seventy-three Edmund
Gosse Is still good enough company
for Margot, whose snappy book he
touched up. At the age Of eighty-two
Austin DobsOn Is still occasionally
heard from. At the same age Thomas
Hardy is still selling verse to the
magazines. At an age close to seventy
Horace Plunkett is, no doubt, framing
new plans for cooperative farming In
a free Ireland. Only the other day
there died Henry NJ. Hyndman at the
age Of eighty and Lord Chancellor
Halsbury at the age of ninety-eight,
two victorians with a good deal of the
Georgian jazz In their makeup.

TALKING BaIks Advancement.

A man may be a genius and thor
oughly satisfactory in his work, but,
if he has the reputation Of talking to
outsiders about the business affairs OF
the concern, his chances of advance
ment are not very bright. His indis-
erection may cause him to give away
some business secrets that would help
competitors. 1t is important, there
fore, to impress upon employees the
necessity of keeping information to
themselves. Gossiping and spreading
rumors among fellow employees con-
stitute another indscretiOn frequently
encountered in business. Try to elm

BIRDS VOICE ALMOST HUMAN
Remarkable Vocal Powers Of Feath-
cred DwelIer Of the Forests OF
the Amazons.

The banks Of the streams In the
vicinity Of st. Paulo, in the upper
Amazons, in South America, are dotted
with palm-thatched dwellings Of the
Indians, all half-buried In the leafy
wilderness, the scattered families hav-
ing chosen the coolest and shadiest
hooks for their abodes.
The traveller frequently hears in the
neighborhood of these huts the organ
bird, the most remarkable sOngster by
far of the AmazOnian forests.
When its singular notes strike the
ear for the first time, the impression
cannot be resisted that they are pro-
duced by a human voice. Some mu-
steal boy must be gathering fruit In
the thickets, and is singing few notes
to cheer himself.
The tones become more fiuty and
plaintive Sometimes they resemble
the notes of a flageOlet, and the trav-
eler Is almost persuaded, In spite OF
the absurdity of the thing, that some
person is playing that instrument In
the primeval forests.
However closely he may scan the
neighbOring thiChet, no bird appears,
although the voice seems to be that OF
some one near at hand.
The bird is rarely If ever heard In
the lower AmaZons. 1t is the only
song bird which makes an impression
on the natives, who sometimes rest
their paddles while voyaging in their
small canoes along the shady by
streams as If struck by the mysterious
sounds, a high compliment, indeed, for
the usually impassive natives TO pay
the feathered songSter.

How AirpIanes Aid Exploration.

Several hitherto unknown lakes and
river valleys have been discovered m
Jasper park, Canadian Rockies,
through the use of government air
planes, says the Montreal Star. This
work was undertaken by the High Riv-
er air station, Alberta, and three ex-
perimental flights were carried out
over the region for the purpose Of ex-
ploration and reconnaissance. The Ca
madam air board report states: "A
flight was made on each Of three sue
cessive days with gratifying success,
and the possibilities Of the use of air
craft for exploration In mountain
regions, and In the administration and
the general maintenance of the park
system was proved without a doubt"

Why Eat Starchy Foods?

Why do we eat starchy foods fried
In fat when we know that the fat sur
rounds the starch grains and prevents
the digestive fluids from reaching
them? Starches are carbohydrates.
Their digestion n started by diges-
tive juices in the mouth. Fats are not
digested until they reach the intes-
tines. Hence the layer of fat which
surrounds the starch particles in fried
foods is not broken down until it is
too late to digest the starch.
Butter and olive oil are fats which
are emulsified In the stomach, and
foods fried In them are not considered
indigestible.-Popular Science Monthly.

Characteristic destruction and waste
precedes America after thought of con-
servation. We habitually lock the
garage after the car is stolen; we
think Of lightning rod protection after
a bolt has fired the barn; we go to the
dentist after the tooth is decayed be-
yond repair. So with our wonderful
forests. We will let timber lords strip
the natural forest lands, and we will
let them sell cutover timber land for
settlement instead of compelling con-
sentative cutting and reforestation. We
shall soon see timber famine, and
no hopes of growing another crop In
the next generation or two, says Sue
cessful Farming. Like the careless
auto drivers who every day swell the
ranks of the slain, the careless camper
and traveller goes merrily on leaving
fires in the forest or throwing cigarette
stubs into the pine needles with the
resulting devastation of forests by fire.
Carelessness spells a tremendous loss
every year in America, not only in for
ests but In every conceivable way.
