ID ROADS PARLEY CALLED FOR THE DISTRICT OCTOBER 1923

need of the engineering profession
existing today, the clearing house
of ideas has been promulgated
Among the delegates to the con-
vention will be George C. Diehl'
president; H. G. Shirley, chairman
good roads board, and NJ. o. Ed
ridge, executive chairman Of the
American Automobile Association.
Mr.. Diehl, with others, will speak
for the motorists of America. He
Will undertake to tell the meeting
what the motorist wants and ex-
poets in the building of highways.
Asks Suggestions.
'I should appreciate the best
thought and suggestions of auto
mobilists from every section of the
United States in order that 1 may
be thoroughly equipped to present
all phases of the motorists case"
Mr.. Diehl said yesterday. ITO that
end l should appreciate hearing
from the automobile clubs of the
country and from the individual
motorists. Their suggestions should
be sent promptly to our Washing
ton office. as there Is but little
time before the conference meets
I'VE are engaged now in a great
scheme of highway construction.
The Federal-aid highway system
alone contemplates work for the
next fifteen or twenty years. When
completed that system will measure
$50. 900 miles OF improved highways
stretching into every section of the
United Staes. The States themselves
have great road building programs.
They probably will construct an
other 10000 miles during the same
period.
Engineers Needed.
I'VE need competent engineers to
build these roadways. The COM
bined cost OF the two systems will
approach $4,000. 100000. How can
we best train the engineers? What
kinds Of roadways best suit our
needs? How can roads be built &c
endure at minimum expense of con-
struction? In other words, how can
the road builder and engineer. within
the limitations of the money they
have to spend and the materials with
which they must work, best aid the
motorist in obtaining the full ad-
vantages Of a new and improved sys-
tenn of highways?
There are now more than TO-
100000 motorists in the United
States. If each one were to take 10
the road at the same time their cars
end to end, would make line more
than 10000 miles long. The line
grOws fast and we want to provide
ample roadways OF the best possible
construction to afford them great
est comfort and a maximum of rOat
room. / should like to hear from
these motorists and see what the.
have to suggest"

THE HUMAN SCRAP HEAP.

Much has been said during recent about utilizing waste
p1oducs The railroads. for instance have established great
camaon plants where they collect iron and other
materials from all their system 1t is astonishing how much
of this stuff be worked into needed items of equipment
though formerly it merely nked Similarly big system
developed for handling refuse articles in factories and homes
The process of retaining human waste does advance
FAST though infinitely important only recently that
attention paid to developing deficient children Formerly
such child called merely fool and suffered to be ncum
his family and he often developed into criminal life
Now progressive communities finding that the majority
of these detectives by careful training be developed into thor
ough useful citizens who do good work helpful task
and constitute benefit society Many thousands of these lives
thus saved from the human scrap heap
Formerly the sms of cities and remote and neglected rural
eighbohoods kind of human scrap heap where multi
udesof people the result of disease and
wholesome social conditions Today people waking
that such scrap heap terrible waste of
they insisting health for sums and
munty upf work for neglected districts both city and country
and these neghbohoods gradually being cleaned up Not
they should be- though for it takes time and effort and
money and love do these things But good beginnings have
been made all these fields The people of this city must do
their share make that human scrap heap their
community.
