 Appreciation of this entire taxpaying com
 Nnunity by its sturdy stand for paved roads
 q the most efficient type. It is time to clear
 up the fog of misrepresentation and mis- management in road-building so prevalent. At the cost of much money, time, careful comparative experimentation and test under actual conditions competent highway engin- eers have arrived at very definite conclu- siDns as to the most economical types of high way construction. It has been found for one thing that roads with a macadam base are not of sufficient strength to stand up under heavy traffic conditions. It has also been Discovered that it is not possible to foretell the amount of travel road will be called upon to sustain after paving. An unpaved highway that has almost negligible travel, may, after being paved, carry an exceedingly heavy travel. In other words, traffic goes where the travelling is best and most eco nomical. It has been proved that cheap road is an expensive road, whereas an eff cient road is an economical road to build, regardless of the necessary first cost, Un- Fortunately, those whose duty it is to ad- minister highway expenditures are often those who really know the least about such things. And yet, the whole highway history and authentic data are to be had from the Gavsrnment for the asking. The Birmingham Motor Club is performing distinct, valuable and money y-saving service to this community.

PROTECT THE WILD FLOWERS.

Appointed in 1921 by the Alabama Society of the U. S. D. of 1912. as chairman of the committee to conserve the wild flowers and native birds of Alabama. Miss Lillian Fin. nell of Tuscaloosa urges that everyone in the state act in the capacity of guardian to pre- serve these priceless assets of our outdoor life: She says:
 "The dogwood, wild honeysuckle, redbud, yellow jessamine, mountain laurel and num- berless other kinds of flowers will soon be in bloom. If plucked at all these flowers should be gathered most carefully and spar ingly. By the thoughtless acts of those who rob the woods of their blooms by tearing up plants by the roots or by breaking off great branches of bright-petalled blossoms, there is acute danger that many of the finest wild flowers may soon become extinct.
 "The great outdoors is, by reason of the universal use of the automobile and the i'm proved highways, available to many who have heretofore been deprived of the beautiful charm of the woodlands.
 There is wider interest in the conservation of the wild flowers and birds than formerly but there is need that still greater restrictions be observed to prevent their extermination This can be done only by public cooperation Owners of lands, by posting them. can estab fish preserves where the flowers left to grow freely will propagate their kind."-Tusca loosa News.

Columbus Had NerUe
By JOHN CARLYLE

The controversy over the bones of Columbus has been settled There was never any doubt about the spirit of Columbus. His soul goes sailing on. 2S s.k
 A few weeks ago I stood in the ancient cathedral of the oldest city in the new world. Santo Domingo City, in the Island of Haiti, in the Wes. Indies, was founded by Bar tholomew Columbus, the brother of Christo- pher.
 The. tomb of the great navigator is in the cathedral. An iron box encloees the casket where lie the bones of the worlds most in- trepid mariner.
 A few years ago casket marked with the name Columbus was taken from it's cathedral tomb and carried to Havana, where it has been revefed as the body of the man who gave q whole hemisphere to the life of men.
 Later another casket was found in the Santo Domingo cathedral. Unlike the other. which was so simply marked, this one bore an ornate inscription to ''The Renowned Admiral and Discoverer, Christopher Columbus"
 But speculation as to the resting place of the mortal frame of the discovererS was worthless In this case even the truth is of minor iniportAnee compared with the immense significance of the life and works of the first great navigator.
 The courage of Columbus towers above every other characteristic. It is easy to be conrAgeous when friends are urging you on. 1t ts lhe naF4ese tnlns m tne world when friends and enemies are telling you 1t can't De done. It Is not an easy matter to go forward in face of the steady prediction of death e:
 When Columbus took his last look behind at the comfortable shores of Spain and sailed out into the grey sea of the west, he sailed on nerve and courage.
 It was . superstitious age. Mariners and landsmeh alike believed the farther seas to be inhabitated by unspeakable monsters, and ter tors indescribable.
 They believed that the edge of the world lay off beyond the horizon. "
 h spite of his mighty nerve how little Co., kinbas realized how well he sailed D He made q new world and knew it not. His triumph was Che triumph of courage
 There are triumphs just as mighty to be won today. It is a matter of nerve and tba ceitisa ce .0fs e0nviction WY f ~~ "

PREFERENCE FOR OUR SHIPPING

Under the conditions that existed before this government sought to establish an Ameri- can merchant marine, the great port-terminal railroads were accustomed to enter into preferential contracts with foreign steamship lines serving those ports favored by said rail roads. In framing the merchant marine act e1ngress provided that such preference should he given to American steamship lines. In 1924 the United States Shipping Board called upon all railroads having such contracts with foreign lines to abrogate them. All the roads did this except the Great Northern and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, the latter having preferential contract with the Osaka Shosen Kaisha, Japanese line.
 To show how prejudiciaI such a contract is to American lines, it is necessary only f0 point out that; of 75,1SS tons of export tennage moving in a given, period from the Puget Sound area, and originating on the abcve-named roads, American lines carried 0iIy 4,954 tons, the rest going to the foreign pfeferential lines Of this amount the Chi caeo, Milwaukee and St. Paul contributed to American lines only 354 tons. This loss of tonnage is, of course, an imposition of a still Heavier tax burden upon the people of the United States who are now contributing to the operating deficit of the merchant marine. The shipping board has informed the Inter state Commerce Commission that it is pre- pared to furnish bottoms for the preferential 2teatment of American ships by American fail lines. In accordance with Section 28 of Ehe merchant marine act, the commerce com iA5ission is under obligation to cooperate with the shipping board in making such provision ss will permit through routing and through bills of lading by special export rate sched- ules on American export goods by American ships direct to foreign ports of destination. Such a schedule will mean within reason able time the turning of our merchant marine deficit into an operating surplus. It will mean definite patronage for American ships. It insurss the permanence of the American Merchant Marine.
