brance In the bunk-house Carson
watched him cautiously over his old
pipe as Lee began ripping Off his dress

the supreme example Of all, a philosO-

BEAUTTFY HIGHWAYS
By Tree-pIanting Plea OF National
MOtOrist Association.

The planting of shade trees on our
main highways throughout the coun-
try has the endorsement of the Ma
tional Motorists Association, accord
ing to a bulletin just issued to the
automobile clubs of the country Care
should be exercised, however, by the
State Forestry and State Highway
Boards in this work so as to preclude
any possibility of planting trees or
shrubbery at locations that will act
as "snow-catchers." The problem of
preventive measures on our arterial
highways which will keep the snow
drifts from the roadbed should be
given consideration by every local and
state highway enTineer, according to
the N. NJ A. message. The bulletin
also calls attention to the fact that
trees that are placed too near the
road may uproOt paVements in time
and cause considerable damage.
1t is pointed out that our highways
are constructed primarily for the
purpose of facilitating traffic. Prac-
tically every motorists is an advocate
of countryside preservation, and the
movement to beautify our highways,
but study should be made by every
engineer engaged in this work to see
that such undertakings do not destroy
the roadbed nor be a contributing
cause in impeding our important
highway transportation.
