STATE ROADS SAVE
s25,000,000 A YEAR.
HIGHWAY SURFACES CREDIT
ED WITH CUTTING TRANS
PORTATION COSTS.

4 Paving and gravel surfacing on
Minnesota trunk highways or Bah
cock roads are saving automobile
users more than $25,000,000 a
year, John H. Mullen, first assistant
commissioner and chief highway
engineer, asserted before the re-
cent meeting of the American AS
sociation of State Highway officials
in New Orleans.
The bulk of the saving-some
$16,500, ,000-was credited by Mr..
Mullen to the gravel roads because
of the greater mileage of that type.
Yet he declared the gravel roads
are not the most economical, and
have been extended in this state
only on account of financial condi-
tions and the necessity of getting
traffic out of the mud.
The savings were based on COM
monty accepted figures. At 8 cents
vehicle mile on gravel over dirt
roads, Gel vehicles for $50 days on
1920 miles, the total is $16,458,000
or net saving of $13,762,380 after
deducting $1,OOO,OO0 for replace
ment and $1,696,52O for mainten-
ance. And at cents a vehicle mile
on concrete over gravel roads for
400 miles with traffic concentrated
to 1000 vehicles day for 800 days
means $6,000,000 or net saving
on the smaller mileage of $4,881,-
800. All figures disregard the gain
from better, uninterrupted service
which cannot be measured in dollars,
he said.
eve find that graveled roads
carrying less than 500 vehicles a
day can be maintained in a remark
ably smooth condition and are per-
haps the most satisfactory type from
the viewpoint of the average road
user, provided the traffic is not con-
slant throughout wet weather and
I, does not include commercial bus or
truck business, but when traffic ex-
| ceeds that figure, ceases to be sea-
sonal, and moves regardless of
weather, or when fast moving pas
senger or express trucks use the
road as a steady commercial pro-
position, it is almost impossible to
keep a gravel road in satisfactory
condition at all times" concluded
Mr.. Mullen.
Commissioner Charles M. Bah
cock, former president of the Or
ganization, and other representa-
tives of the Minnesota Highway de-
partment attended the N W Orleans
meeting which attracted highway
| officials from nearly all states.

AMERICAN GOLFERS WIN

Now that Francis Ouimet, of Bos.
ton has put the first touch of Ameri-
can victory on the golf links of Eng
land, by winning the Royal st
Georges champion grand challenge
golf trophy, we of this country
whether golfers or not--and most OF
us are Not-may be pardoned for
making little note of the victory and
of emphasizing once again that it is
something for kid of a country to
cross the water and beat the old man
at his own game.
But when the English critics of golf
print right out in their papers compli-
ments to the Americai players
sprinkled with such adjectives as
Splendid" ''well-merited victory"
and all that, and when they refrain
from detracting from the credit of the
American victory, one may not be
pardoned if the temptation to ''gloat"
is not resisted. IL makes one quite
modest about the whole thing when
the English Morning Post, for in
stance, remarks that PLAINLY our
friends the enemy have no longer
to learn from us, and equally
plainly we have something to learn
from them"
So, in the endeavor to be just as
modest winners as the Englishmen are
sportmanlike losers, we will merely
say in passing that we are honestly
glad we had such good game against |
such worthy opponents and that we
consider it an achievement to have
beaten them,

ARMoRY APPROPRIATION.

No matter how thoroughly we may
deprecate war-and one may not
overdo things in this regard-we
want to emphasize upon every occa-
sion the Importance that should be
given In every city, town and COM
munity to the things our former serv-
ice men have done and are doing; to
the things our fighters are doing and
are interested in. All military men,
National and State, and all organiza-
tons of former service men are
vitality interested in seeing the State
Armory on Arch street maintained in
good condition. 1t represents to them
an experience which stands out most
prominently in their lives; it repre-
sents to them something which may
become a necessity in future; 1t
stands for a great patriotism, the
place where American strength has
there may be great need in the flu
fure.
So we are glad that an oppropria-
tion for maintaining that armory has
been given the approval of the lower
branch of the legislature Of the state
and we hope that there will be no
hesitation on the part of the senate
or the Governor in seeing to it that |
such measure becomes a law. For
getting the necessities of the armory
would be just one more step in the
direction of forgetting what was done
by our fighting men in time of ter
rible necessity and of forgetting what
the younger men of the city stand
willing to do again should the same
necessity come.
