as ridiculous. When as must newt
ably be the case, the United States
switches its road policy from the pres
ent idea of helping the States, to the
broader idea of building its own ma
tional road system, allowing the States
to build the feeder aud connecting
roads. such an expenditure will be far
from sufficient.
To those to whom the idea of
greater Federal expenditure means
greater taxes, 1t Is pointed ont that
invariably the good road more than
pays for itself, and that the increased
profits, the decreased cost of hauling,
and the increased land values, which
inevitably follow the establishment of
a system of national highways, will
not only pay the entire cost of che
roads, but handsome profit besides,

Federal Expenditures On Road

A few years ago the expenditures

fiscal year of 1923 allows II cents out

to build the roads the country must

road building with government aid
Is matter of congratulation, rather
than regret that we have not as yet
gone further.
The total 1928 budget for the Ma
ton is a billions, with 9ll millions
allowed for the United States appro-
priations towards Federal aid in road
building. Zen years ago such an ex-

Clean House 10 Winter

Keeping the house clean during the
winter when stoves and furnaces are
going is not difficult if the housewife
uses the right tools at the right time.
according to home economics experts
of the Unworthy of Wisconsin.
wise housekeepers learn that to
get rid of dust, there must be fewer
objects for 1t to light upon" they
point out; so we now have less
bric-a-brac In our homes and the un-
necessary objects are left out. For
instance, in the dining room it is no
longer considered good to have the
plate racks loaded down with the
beat china. 1t was dust collector.
and added TO the housewives work,
for ii had TO be busted or washed
each time before using.
As the fall and winter months
come on it is good plan to change
pictures, vases and other objects in
the rooms, +" they suggest, 1T gives a
different atmosphere to the rooms
and they don't become monotonous.
We all like change, and new ar
rangemeni of furniture seems restful
after seeing things one way all sum
mer."
A cleaning closet in every house
is advocated by home experts. If
there isn't closet that can be used,
an old wardrobe is very handy. The
cleaning tools may consist of a car
pet sweeper or an electric sweeper,
a dustless mop (oiled), broom,
dust-pan a number of brushes (soft
and hard for cleaning behind radia-
tors and other places that are diff
cult to reach) and plenty of soft
cloths for busting and washing.
Soaps, polishes aud other cleaning
agents should hBve place In this
closet.
If the tools in the cleaning closet
are used daily to keep the house
free from dust, then there is not
likely to be a need for weekly or
monthly housekeeping with its ac-
companying discomfort to the entire
family. by making cleaning a dai ly
task, the housekeeper saves both
time and energy.

WISCONSIN WOMEN HOLD
HIGH IDEALS
Dean Nardin of u. of w. Declares
Coed Has Sane, Sound Social
Standards.
BY L. r Van Zelm
q Western NeNspapet Ilnion

1.-THE college woman at Wisconsin
has ideals. Though she may be
more reticent than her puritanical
great-grandmother in acknowledging
or broadcasting them they ere there
nevertheless in skeleton form to
support her and guide her"
Such is the authoritative opinion
held by F. Louise Nardin, dean of
women at Madison, who through her
vital contact with the Wisconsin
woman has studied and understands
her.
look to the idle classes, the I'M
married woman of the late twenties
and the willfully childlcss mother of
the early thirties for lack of moral
standards and loose dissipation. The
college woman at Wisconsin is too
occupied with her busy program of
life to indulge to the wild orgies
with which she is so frequently
credited by the outside world" is the
deans defense of the coed.
After the recent homecoming dis
turbance Keystone, the executive
council of the Women's Self-Govern-
ment association, took the initiative
to call a mass meeting of the entire
student body of women. This body
Immediately and unanimously passed
resolution taking a definite stand
against liquor and pledging itself to
do everything within its power to
prevent a repetition of the home
coming problem.
Another instance serves as a de
cided answer to the charge, "She has
forgotten God" Miss Nardin states
that practically every woman enter
ing the university records some
church affiliation on her enrolment
questionable. This information is
Immediately turned over to the
various church committees in order
to have them maintain continual
religious and social connections with
students of different denominations.
On entering the university, the
Wisconsin woman automatically be-
comes a member of the Womens
Self-Government association, which
AYERS as its purpose:
"The object of this association
shall be to regulate all matters
pertaining to the student life of its
members which do not fall under the
jurisdiction of the faculty; to
further in every way the spirit Of
unity among the women of the
university; to increase their sense of
responsibility towards each other
and to be a medium by which the
social standards of the university
can be made and kept high"
All work and no play makes Jill a
dull girl The Wisconsin woman is
far from dull. Her social life is not
confined to dating land here again
critics may gasp She bridges"
and she teas, and she dances, but she
hikes and skates and swims and
plays basketball and baseball and
tennis as well--and even better, in
many cases. And Miss Nardin adds,
TOO, that while she may not have the
fine surface polish of her more
gentle eastern sister, the Wisconsin
girl is a lady.-Milwaukee Journal

STREET SPECIFICATIONS FOR
SUBURBAN ROADS
Increased Traffic Brings Higher
Type Highways.

Better city streets have taught
vehicle users to demand better subur-
ban roads. The requirements for
the country road are not as drastic
rs for the street in the municipality,
but they are much closer than they
were ten or fifteen years ago.
For fast moving traffic city pave
ment must be smooth, not only to
permit the rapid and comfortable
movement of vehicles but to con-
serve fuel and tires. A slight saw
ing in the operating cost per vehicle
reaches a large aggregate when the
vast number of motor cars is con-
sidered which justifies considerable
outlay to obtain smoothness.
This factor gets bigger every year,
in county road specifications
Impact attracts the attention of
engineers to an increasing degree.
A wheel with drop of / inch when
in motion delivers a blow equivalent
to six times the dead weight. City
engineers, therefore, attach in
creasing Importance to the resiliency
of pavements to take up the shock of
impact.
County road engineers build more
flexibly every year.
1t is now almost ~possible to close
an important stree. to traffic for
any time. The engineer must,
therefore, select his type with ready
repairs in mind Even when possible
to detour traffic the cost in extra
fuel over a comparatively short
space of time adds enormously to
the cost of the pavement.
Quick repairability is now much
considered in county-road design.

GOOD ROADS INFLUENCE SEEN
IN MOTOR VALUES
Better Highways Have Produced
Better Cars.

A statistical summary of the vari-
Gus values possible to obtain to-day
by the expenditure of a dollar as
compared with ten years ago has
been made by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce. This
chart shows an increase in value for
both cars and tires, as opposed to a
great decrease in value of such com
modities as clothing, shoes, food,
furniture, and house furnishings,
buildings, crops, and live stock, and
such intangibles as the cost of living
and rents.
According to this summary, a
dollar in 1913 purchased dollars
worth of motor car; in 1928 it pur-
chased Sill worth of motor car,
whereas the dollar which bought
dollars worth of food in 1918, to-
day buys 685 cents worth of food.
A dollars worth of tires in 1918
cost dollar. For the same dollar
in 1928 one buys $123 worth of
tires, whereas the dollar one spent
for clothes in 1913 will buy today
but 51.8 cents worth of suit or
overcoat.
1t is not matter of argument that
one of the great factors which have
raised the relative value of motors
per dollar expended, is the large in
crease in good highways. These
have been a predetermining cause in
the purchase of large amount of
motor vehicles, and it is quantity
production which has lowered the
cost or increased the value, as you
please, of the 1923 dollar unit" of
value.
The statistics are based on reports
from such authorities as the National
Industrial Conference Board, the U.
S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the
Cleveland Trust Company, the De-
partment of Agriculture, and the
Federal Reserve Board.

BABSON PARK, Mass, May so.
! --"' Is the current depression in bust
! ness that we hear so much about
real or is it largely psychological
The question was put to Roger w.
+, Babson the statistician who ans
wers to-day by giving the current
! readings OF business activity by
states. ''When YOU hear Il mani say
that business is poor,' says Mr..
Babson, she probably means that
his sales are slowing up. When sales
are good and the orders are coming
in in greater volume than during the
same month the previous year we
say that business is fine, but when
the total begins to shrink as com
pared with our records of - months
agO we say business is very poor.
The best barometer then on business
conditions is the volume of sales as
represented by debts to individual
accounts.
IF we compared May of 1924
with May of 1923 we get direct
measure on the actual proportion of
the present depression. In New
England, for instance, we find bus
mess in the state of Connecticut run
hing 10 per cent ahead of May last
year and we also find that Maine is
leading "a year ago by per cent,
Rhode Island and Vermont are just
about holding tlieir own, New Hamp-
shire is running about IA per cent
below last year, while Massaehu-
setts the most important of this
group of states is running is per
cent below the figures-sf last May
and is suffering acute depression in
textile and leather lines. Unem-
ployment in these industries is grow
ing toward rather serious proportion.
N. j.. Delaware Better
New Jersey and Delaware are
leading the middle Atlantic states
and are enjoying business slightly
