THE VICTORY HIGHWAY

Topeka, Kansas, May 24.-"Out in
Thomas county we're for good roads,
and we're perfectly willing to go in
20 any political campaign in a fight
against any person or party whose
platform is opposition to good roads, +"
is the grass root dope unloaded by
". o. Williams, county engineer of
ThmOas county, in Topeka, Wednes-
day, on business.
The Thomas county people are
learning what. good roads mean to
them, not only for their own purposes
but as means of bringing tourists,
who bring dollars to their country.
2 There are altogether eighty-two
miles of primary roadway in Thomas
county. Earth roads are the only
possibility there, but Williams has
started out to make those earth roads
a model for the rest of the state. And
he says it can be done without raising
taxes. Thomas county is ''solid" on
the use of federal and state aid on
the construction of earth roads which
come up to the standards set by the
Kansas State Highway department,
and by the United States Bureau of
Public Roads.
Thomas county has purchased a
road grader and two mountainers,
which are to be used on the Victory
Highway through the county, this
summer. The county officials plan
10 try out the ''back-sloping" system
which means that instead of ditch
at the side of the roadway, with an
abrupt bank next the fence, the gut
ter viii have gradually sloping sides
eff the road is back-sloped, Snow
doesn't drift so badly. If car gets
from under control, or is crowded tc
the side of the road, it doesn't hit a
ditch and overturn," Williams point
ed out. So -

The count was not complete. Il

sitting in my seat studying. The boy
came into, the room. He walked up to
