Government Wages Campaign.
The modern thieves steal more each
month than Captain Kidd Is said to
have accumulated out of all his dagrun-
cies. In the last few years tile federal
government has waged a campaign
against these thieves, aided by the rail
roads which deliver goods to tidewuter,
the owners of ocean-going ships and
harbor craft, the companies operating
piers and docks and, particularly. by
the great marine Insurance companies.
A number of gangs Of river and har-
Dor pirates have been broken mp and a
trickle OF the robbers has run into the
prisons, but the losses are az great as
ever and promise to increase. Probably

Cause of Our Road Troubles

Rapid increase IN volume. weight
and speed Of motor vehicle traffic is
causing all the highway trouble and
expence.
Years ago The average road carried
from 20 TO SO horse-drawn vehicles
per day A traffic census at POS
stations in 1922 showed that the
average number of motor vehicles
was 1920
The speed formerly was to =
miles per hour. Today it is % to 30.
The load formerly was , tons
Today II Is from to 10 tons.
It is the motor vehicle highway
traffic that demands good roads.
Ii is the motor vehicle highway trait
fic that wears them out 1t is the
motor vehicle highway traffic that
has increased our highway eXpendit-
ares from year to year
Highway traffic has outgrowo the
road Years ago il was a small boy.
To-day il is a full grown man who has
outgrOWn his clothes. In l005------- Is
years ago.-..-----we had l4o2 motor
vehicles Today we have approx
mately 400, 000. In 1912, when the
state began to issue yearly motor
vehicle licenses there were licensed
y, 784 motor vehicles. with 400 900
licensed today, this means AN increase
OF 1915 per ceut.
1t is not only freight but passenger
traffic. Before the motor vehicle,
practically all passenger traffic was
by railroad. Today the motor
vehicles carry more passengers than
the railroads. The 400. 900 cars in
Wisconsin will this year travel over

Radio Aids Campaign
Against tuberculosis
National Health Talk To Be Broad
casted In Effort To Reach
Every State.

Health by Radio! This is the an
nouncement of the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis Association, which is CO.
operating with the National Tubercul-
osis Association in AN effort to reach
as many as possible of the Radio fans
Of the nation with health message.
This talk which is to be broadcasted
from the Radio station of the Drake
hotel, Chicago, is of special interest
as it will serve as an all-state Radio
test, to show that message from Chi
cago can be heard in every state in the
union. Messages have frequently been
heard from coast to coast, but Radio
experts state that there is as yet no
record of any talk having been heard
in every state in the Union.
In order to stimulate interest Ra-
die fan, who is also health fan, has
offered through the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association prizes to the
amount of ten dollars in cash for the
most complete Wisconsin reports Of the
talk, which is to be broadcasted on
May II, at $3.50 p. M, from station
WDAP. To the person sending in the
NlOSG COAlpiCkS AGpOLS VI LAS LelAS q
prize Of five dollars will be awarded,
and the five next best reports will each
win dollar prize, while everyone
sending in letter on the talk will be
sent a packet Of health booklets. Re-
ports should be mailed to the Radio
Contest Department, Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association, 558 Jefferson
street, Milwaukee, Wis. Members of
the staff Of the Wisconsin AnI-Tuber-
culosis association will act as judges.
The fact that this talk is to be de-
Iivered by Charles n. DeForest, q
brother of DE-. Lee DeForest, the in
ventor Of the vacuum tube ampliflier
which made broadcasting possible,
makes it unusually interesting. Mr.. De-
Forest is national director of the Mod
ern Health Crusade, a movement for
the development Of better health among
children.
