WHY SHOULD FRANCE
EXCEL u. S. IN ROADS?
National Highways Saved France In
The Late War

France has $4,000 miles of national
highways, 10000 of departmental and
interc"mmunicating highways and
185,0e0 miles of parish Or vicinal
roads. The national highways approx
innate six and one half per cent of
Frances highway system.
There are running on the roads of
France 100000 motor cars less than
one per mile of road.
The United States has 1882, 1913
miles of roads, of which a tiny small
fraction of one per cent might be de
nominated national highways by a
stretch of imagination, which would
include roads in national parks and
on such reservations as the Canal
Zone and the District of Columbia I'M
der the term of national highways
The United States has 100000
motor cars running upon its highways
or more than four per mile of road.
Is there any really good reason why
the United States should do less in
transportation for its people than
France? The paved highways of
France saved the nation when moth
ing else could save her! Only the
fact that sht could transport her
armies, her ammunition, her supplies
with rap'dity and dispatch allowed her
to stem the German attack. Had she
had such roads as we have, she would
be today beneath the heel of the CON
queror.
1t is no argument to say we do not
need national highways, because we
are not neighbors to countries which
might attack us. France did not build
and does not maintain her national
highways merely for strategic reasons.
She builds and maintains them for
economic reasons. If thrifty France
can find economy in the national high
way idea, why can not the United
States find the same benefit in the
same idea?

EDITORIAL

In 1888, Henry Coleman, Commits
missioner of Agriculture in the Com
monwealth OF Massachusetts, wrote:
The rewards of agricultural labor
in Massachusetts, are ample, in that
an industrious man may obtain by
skillful and active agriculture not only
a comfortable subsistence, but his
gains will prove so much more than
his real and reasonable wants, that in
ordinary circumstances he may early
enjoy the satisfactions of a domestic
connection, have the means of health
full and innocent luxury, raise and
well educate numerous family, excr-
else a generous hospitality and lay
up competent provision against the
casualties of human affairs and the
decline of life. All this may be done
in the exercise of good conscience
with a single pair of hands, and with
no other than the joint aid of loving
and growing household; and in such
case the ever sure blessing of kind
Providence. 1t is on this account,
then, that agriculture deserves every
enooura cement that the State can give.
1t has likewise an intimate connection
with good morals, and the support and
purity of our republican institutions"
Today Massachusetts has one Of
the best of State Highway systems.
Though perhaps less devoted to agri-
culture now than then, becasue of the
great factories which have come to
her, Massachusetts, has never wavercd
from Coleman's idea that agriculture
deserves every encouragement the
State can give" And there is no great
err encouragement than the provision
of good roads everywhere.
Doubtless Coleman hoped for, in
1888, what we hope for now, "a paved
United States in Our day" His hope
was doomed to disappointment But
this is 1928, not 1888. The United
States has the money, the people, the
votes, the engineers, the roads to i'm
prove. All that stands between US
and that paved United States, which
viii indeed give to agriculture every
encouragement the country can give,
is the inertia of the old idea, and the
completion of the education of us all
that what we want, need, must have,
is national highways and good roads
everywhere.

ONE THANKSGIVING DAY ten YEARS AGO
The Approaching Thanksgiving Reminds Me.
BY ROBERT B. McCORD.

1t was on Wednesday before
THANKSGIVING ten years ago had
long distance phone call from
county judge down the state. The
Children's Home Society had taken
homeless boys and girls from his
county before, and so he spoke now
with authority. Get on the train in
Atlanta tonight and reach here to-
morrow morning; | have a little Or
phan girl you ought to take immedi-
ately." To him it seemed not to
matter that tomorrow was Thanks
giving. That also was back in the
days when the Georgia Children's
Home Society had nobody but me to
go for little homeless girl.
The child was with her grand
mother eight miles out in the coun-
try when l arrived in that county
capital next morning. Judge said
we'd drive out there for her just be-
fore noon, and she'd eat turkey with
us at his house. AS we drove along
he told me how the child's mother
went out of the world as the baby
came in, and how the poor, unframed
young father got along badly without
a mother for his baby until last sum
mer when he too had to go and leave
her. The old grandmother had since
then been the only chance for this
child of eight years.
Before Judge had apparently finish
ed his story the car stopped before
nothing more than a little old shanty
behind split-rail fence. 1t was
twelve by my time-piece, and looking
in the front door we saw back there
"A woman and child apparently eating
dinner Come in" she said and we
| forthwith did it.
That grandmother must have seer
F.! setter days. for she really insisted
hat we eat dinner with them. We
did not. but Judge sat near by i'll 6
vacant chair while | sat upon an ole
| trunk there close to the table. Be
| fore the diners were one small piece o.
cornbread, a saucer containing some
little white raw onions, and one empty
! dish of turnips. [ knew they hat
| been turnips, for just then grandma
| took the empty dish and went to the
| stove in the same room for more

ASPHALT PAVEMENT
BETTER EVERY YEAR

Asphalt is the oldest proof
adhesive known to man. Its use
dates back beyond the mists which
shroud prehistoric days. Unlike many
basic materials, science and invention
have not discovered any substitute for
it, and no synthetic asphalt is produc-
able commercially which compares
either in price or in utility with the
natural product
Asphalt is used in roads in many
ways, but there are four broad divis-
ions generally recognized by road en-
g;neers. These four have been de-
veioped, and Year by year, as further
experiments and experience become
available, the types are improved until
now is generally conceded that for
its purpose and when properly laid,
asphalt has no superiors as road
material.
The four generally recognized types
are G) asphalt macadam, in which
broken stone has melted asphalt ap-

There is more to Etiquette than
fdst doing this or that correctly.
How we eat or how act is impor-
tGnt Of course, but how we talk is
even more so. People judge us daily
(much more than we realize) by the
language we use. Whether it's
French, English, Spanish or German,
It matters not-the grammar must
be correct. Good English is a sign
of good breeding and good breeding
is what makes man or woman a
lady or gentleman. What we think
and what we say shows what we
are-and our ability to say it. Q
Here are a few expressions 80
often heard, which quickly reveals
lack Of culture: So many times
we hear "yeh" instead of "yes."s
"she DON'T instead of "she does
not" Between you and T. is often
heard but between you and me" La
correct. When one designates the
sex, use the words man or woman.
Do not say, "She is a very hand
some lady" or 'He Is a fine looking
gentleman" Also when speaking Of
ones husband 90 not refer to him
as Mr.. B. In other words do not
say Mr.. Brown will Join us. Either
say III speaking to a personal
friend), Jack will Join u.s." or at
any other time my husband will

DEAR A. LEDA: What should be done
when young man asks a girl If he
may call on q certain evening and
then does not appear? Should she
discontinue their friendship?
A MOUNTAIN GIRL.
Yes, very decidedly. 1t is a very
rude thing to do and unless there
is written or verbal apology within
twenty-four hours afterwards, cross
this man off from your list of &C
quaintances. By that l mean. do
not recognize him any more than if
you had not met him. An inter
vening distance or sickness should
