but the results of the exhibit re-
main. Never before was so remark
able a gathering of educational mate
rial regarding highways put beneath
one roof. Never before has it been
possible for anyone, within the space
of a few hundred feet, to gather so
comprehensive an idea of what roads
are, now they are built, what they are
built OF, what they cost, how they
should be used, how they should be
financed.
1t is very certain that the educators,
builders, engineers, county and State
officials, teachers, students, and the
general public which thrOnged this
great exposition, took away with them
much information, the results OF
which will be apparent for many years
to come. The little leaven, leaVens
the whole lump; the educated man
spreads knowledge about him. Those
who have learned of roads, not as a
theory but as they are, will talk; those
thew talk to will be interested; a
greater and greater degree of senti-
ment will be created regarding the
necessity of more, many more, good
roads in this country.
In it's special educational field, the
road exposition undoubtedly did
great deal, but it's greatest achieve
ment unquestionably is its showing
forth to the Nation the state of the art |
of highway building, and educating
road makers, users and buyers alike,
in its boundless possibilities.

churches and cathedrals, and the
maximum of population, wealth and
culture, are found along the highways
thrown out from Rome.
On that fatetul July day, when the
German thrust the point of his wedge
between the English and the French
at Chateau Thierry, and there was not
a man or a gun to oppose their march
to the English Channel, it was the
highways which saved Europe. Fifty
miles away were forty thousand U. S.
Marines and other troops and thou
sand American-made motor trucks.
Due to the splendid roads of France,
they arrived on time, and the shock
troops" of the German Army were
hurled back. The motor truck and
the roads of France saved civilization.
If for twenty centuries the system
of highways has been the mold into
which sixty generations of Europeans
have been run and have taken shape,
who can measure the influence on
American life of a national highway
system, gridironing this land between
ocean and ocean and connecting all
the county seats of all the States?
When the rate of speed on Europe's
roads was but three to six miles per
hour for passengers, and two miles
per hour for freight, the highway de-
termined twenty centuries of history.
What will be the effect on American
life with highways which speed up
the movement of passengers to TWEEN
ty-fve or even forty miles an hour
and of freight to twelve or even thirty
miles per hour, at the same time re-
ducing the cost?

SOUTHERN STATE HAULS

North Carolina Definitely Placed In

North Carolina was for years pitt

Today North Carolina, after the eX-

It took ten years of education ana
five of construction before this result
was attained; and the end is not yet'
for it is proposed to spend up to TWO
hundred millions on State ROADS De-
fore the job is finished.
With wonderful scenic beauty anu
location on a direct line for all tourist
travel north and south, North caro-
lima does not propose to lose the bene-
fits which the automobile may bring,
in tourist travel, in social intercourse,
in modern country schools in goou
health. in increased commerce, IN the
influx of modern civilization to re-
mote districts. 1t has been a Hercu-
lean task to arrange so comprehensive
a system of financing as is necessary
for so large an expenditure, and edu-
cate those without experience OF the
blessings of good roads to the need OF
supplying the money. But the pro.
gTessive and public spirited citizens OF
fhe state have done the work and all
North Carolina is reaping the benetlt.
North Cardinals experience, similar,
to that of others which have gone

other argument for the idea that tn9

HIGHWAYS VITAL TO
BETTER CIVILIZATION
European Experience Proves Need
Of Roads in America

The part that highways play in the
progress of civilization is well shown
BY the experience of Europe during
the past 1000 years. From the golden
milestone in Rome great highways
were built to the remOtest bounds of
the Roman Empire. Over them went
the Roman soldier, and with him law
and order. Over them went the Greek
schoolmaster, and with him schools
and colleges. Over them went the mis-
sionary of the Cross, and with, him the
church, hospital, medical science and
improved agriculture.
Present day halls of Justice schools,
colleges and universities, great

CHURCHES BENEFIT
FROM IMPROVED ROADS
Ministers Find Smooth Highway
Necessary For Parish Work

what is the matter with the
church," is the favOrite demand OF
those who find something the matter
with it. The country minister knows
what is the matter with his church;
nine times out of ten it is mud that is
the matter with it; ruts and holes IN
roads which are the matter with it;
inability of parishiOners to get TO 1t
which is the matter with it, only
equalled by his inability to go to his
parishiOners.
The United States is a God-fearing,
church-going Nation. Churches grow;
new churches are constantly being
built. People want and need churches.
But in the rural districts, miles from
a good road, but handful can gather
at the church a few miles from home,
unless the Sabbath happens to have
been preceded by long spell of dry
weather.
The farmer must be merciful to his
horses. Time is a great factor in ru-
raj life. Where roads forbid the eX-
ira work, and long trip means most
of Sunday gone in travel, church at
tendance inevitably suffers.
Where roads are good, the country
church makes no complaint of lack of
attendance. Where highways are
smooth, a parish may be five times as
large and still not too large. Good
highways are an asset to the church,
as vital to the rural House Of God as
they are to rural schools and rural
social intercourse.

less likelihood that his own pay would
 be increased. In one instance at least department head helped his clerks to get raises while he himself refused to ask such increase, probably not be- cause he felt he did not need and had not earned it, but. rather because he felt such suggestion should come from someone other than himself.
 When the matter of salary increases comes before the common council its members will give proper weight to the recommendation of the salary committee which has gone to great pains to investigate the situation. Again the council is reminded of the fact that a few men, giving their time and thought to investigation, can get better results than may many, unable from the conditions, to work with each other with perfect understand ing. One not familiar with all the de- tails hesitates to commend or disap- prove of the decisions of the salary committee. But one who realizes that very fact-namely that no one out side the salary committee is in a po- sition to judge each case as well as it may do--is certainly in a position to give proper weight to the word of the committee upon this subject.

THAT PERMANENT TREE

The board of park commissioners has "laid on the table" for month the suggestion made in these columns the day after Christmas that per- manent Christmas tree be placed in Central Park Possibly no harm is done by this delay. That is beside the point. The significance Of thc action. however. is seem in the failure Of those concerned to give approval of the plan ahen the matter came up for discussion. Too often delay in taking definite action is the signal for no ac- ton at all. and in this case fl Is known that there were private expressions Of dfsapprovaI when the matter was broached.
 The question Is not one which re- 1uires extensive discussion or investi- ration. IL is known that the bare cost of a new tree each year Is about S55 or sse.

AUTHORESS' CASE
 CAUSING TROUBLE
Grand Jury May Probe Nina
 Wilcox Putnam'S Actions

| Providence, R. l., Jan. 10.-The suggestion for a grand jury investi- gation of Mrs. Nina Wilcox Putnam
 Sanderson's efforts to obtain a di- vorce here was to be discussed today by Attorney General Carpenter, Judge Chester Barrows, in whose court the case was heard and Judge Jerome Hahn. of criminal court.
 Records of the case were sent to the attorney general yesterday after Judg Barrows had permanently va cated the decree he granted last week and hastily withdrew when local newspaper article showing that Mrs. Sanderson had not maintained resi- dence here for the required length of time, as claimed in her deposi- tions, was placed before him. A let ter from Mrs. Sanderson, declaring she had misunderstood the residence clause of the Rhode Island divorce laws, was read in court.
 Attorney General Carpenter said Judge Barrows expressed a determina- tion to carry the matter to the grand jury as one of public policy. in or HNi " p'S'S " thc Phptit Nbot thS courts were trying, honestly and con scientiousy, to enforce the statutes of the state and that the abhorrent re- ports about Rhode Island divorce mills were nnfounded.
 In Mrs. Sanderson's letter, written to her attorney were the residence re- auirements in Rhode Island and that if she had known of certain prece- dents in such matters she would not have attempted to get a divorce in Rhode Island.
 "The information" said part of her letter, that I had received from u Connecticut lawyer was that it was sufficient that if I obtained a place there for residence and had an in tention of making that my home and stopped there on occasions when I was not elsewhere, having however. in my mind all the time that it was to be my home and the place that con- sidered my home. that would be enough. Having been so advised I so testified.'
