WIDE ROADS PREVENT ACCi-
DENTS.

Pennsylvania will not start on
general highway widening pro
gram until the whole state is
provided with travelable roads,
says the state highway secre.
tary. However, 40-foot paving
is favored on important trunk
highways with all rights of way
from so to 100 feet wide.
Western states have already
started on widening process
for roads but instead of building
4O-foot pavements they are put,
ting about 2-foot shoulder on
each side of existing 18-foot
pavements and covering the old
pavement or macadam road, with
water proof covering of as
phaltic concrete to absorb the
jar of rapidly moving vehicles
and thus prevent crystallization
or destruction Of non elastic road
surfaces or pavements.
In addition, wherever posi-
BILE, they are widening the road
grade from fence to fence with
a gentle slope for drainage like
a city street. This relieves traf.
fic CONGESTION on a narrow paved
strip as it permits six to eight
vehicles to stand side by side if
necessary.
Eliminating side bitches and
widening roads in this manner
is the greatest step yet taken to
eliminate automobile accidents.

Boosted Royalties From Books; War
Enabled Him to Save on Salary.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wilson took
modest fortune with him from the
White House and, although he never
earned any money during his retire
ment, he was able to live comfortably
en- his capital. When he came here
from the governorship Of New Jersey
he brought with him few thousand
dollars in savings, well invested.
His salary as an educator never was
large nor was his pay as governor. He
had beeh raising family, and al
though he had written many books his
royalties were desultory When he
come into salary of $4,000 year
the largest he ever had received
years of thrift asserted themselves
and he saved money. Royalties from
his writings jumped suddenly and
tremendously because his books came
into great demand, Social activities
at the White House were discontinued
because Of the war, and he saved a
great part of his salary.

A Proclamation
BY the President Of the United
States Of America.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES:
The death Of Woodrow Wilson,
President Of the United States
from March 4, 1918 to March 4,
1921, which occurred at Ills
o'clock today at his home at
Washington, d. c.. deprives the
country OF a most distinguished
citizen, and Is an event which
causes universal and genuine
sorrow. To many Of us It brings
the sense of a profound personsi
bereavement.
His early profession as
lawyer was abandoned to enter
academic life. In this chosen
Geld he attained the highest rank
as an educator, and has left his
impress upon the intellectual
thought of the country.
From the Presidency of Prince
ton University he was called by
his fellow citizens to be the
Chief Executive Of the State Of
New Jersey. The duties of this
high office he so conducted as to
win the confidence of the people
of the United States, who twice
elected him to the Chief Ma
gistracy of the Republic.
AS President OF the United
States he was moved by an
earnest desire to promote the
best interests of the country as
he conceived them. His acts
we're prompted by high motives
and his sincerity OF purpose can
not be questioned. He led the
Nation through the terrific strug-
gle OF the World War with a
lofty idealism which never failed
him. He gave utterance to the
aspirations OF humanity with an
eloquence which held the atten-
tion of all the earth and made
America a new and enlarged in
fiuence in the destiny of man
kind.
In testimony OF the respect in
which his memory is held by the
Government and people Of the
United States, l do hereby direct
that the flags of the White House
and Of the several departmental
buildings be displayed at half
STAFF for period Of thirty days.
and that suitable military and
naval honors under orders of the
Secretary Of War and Of the
Secretary OF the Navy may be
rendered on the day Of the
funeral.
Done at the City of Washing
ton this third day Of February,
in the year of Our Lord One
Thousand One Hundred and
Fwenty-four, and of the Inde-
pendence OF the United States OF
America One Hundred and Forty
eight.

WILSON'S HOPES FOR WORLD
EXPRESSED FIVE YEARS AGO

Just five years ago. Woodrow VIII
son, at the pinnacle of his power,
spoke in the French Chamber of Dep
uties at Paris, the hopes and convic-
tions he held for the world, but did
NOT live to see fulfilled. Here is what
he said at that time:
$50. as we sit from day to day at
the Quai d'Orsay. think to myself we
might, if we could gain an audience of
the free peoples of the world. adopt
the language of General Pershing. and
say;
"'Friends. men. humble women. lit
tie children, we are here We are
here as your friends, as your cham
pions, as your representatives.
I'VE have come to work out for you
a world which is fit to live in. and in
which all countries can enjoy the
heritage of liberty for which France
and America and England and Italy
have paid u dear"

When the Cathedral is completed it
will be one of the most splendid edi-
fees on this continent When that
time comes the body of the former

the part Of the men who are devoting
themselves to the construction of this
monumental place Of worship that it
may some day become the West
minister Abbey OF America.
For years Woodrow Wilson had
been deeply interested in the Cathe-
dral. He has watched the erection Of

ing a number of Senators, urged Mrs.

work was abandoned.
