EDITORIAL

The great exposition of road build
ing material, methods and ma
chinery which is now in progress in
Chicago emphasizes as never before
the position which highway construc-
ton and use is to take in this country.
Here, under one roof are gathered to
gether such an educational exhibit of
all that pertains to highway making
as the world has never seen. Road
builders from all over the country are
attending; road buyers have sent their
representatives to see what progress
has been made in the art; road users
come to see whether or not their own
roads are up to the best standard. and
If the money their communities are
spending is being wisely spent.
Attracting a major amount of the
attention of the visitors are the two
exhibits which have nothing to SELL
nothing to gain except the spread of
an idea. The Bureau of Public Roads,
Department of Agriculture, has a
highly educational exhibit, showing
the work of the bureau, the admins
tratlon of the Federal aid road acts,
and the right way to build roads. The
National Highways association, oc-
cupying a great space across the end
of the gallery, shows very large and
elaborate maps, illustrating the idea
back of the association. 1t shows,
with literature and other exhibits, its
educational work looking to the Gre
alton of national sentiment for the
theory that the National Government
should build, own, control and for
ever maintain a system of National
Highways to which States would build
feeder roads, which in turn would be
served by county and township roads
The great throngs of people coming
to the Coliseum are but an indication
of the interest we, as people, take in
the highway transportation problem
and the absolute necessity of this Gov
eminent taking the next step in its
solution, which is, of course, the crea-
ton of National Highway Commits
sion to locate and build the first oil
the truly national roads.

NdtlonaI highways Exhibit Features
7,452 Pins
In the National Highways exhibit
at the great road exposition at the
Coliseum, Chicago, this week, is a
great map of the United States, in
which 7,452 red-headed pins have been
driven, indicating the location of that
number of newspapers of the 1888
daily and weekly papers of the United
States which have accepted News
paper Association membership in the
National Highways Association and
are in receipt of, and publishing from
time to time, the roads news the asso-
citation sends to its members.
The map must be seen to appreciate
the tn rough way in which this great
educational campaign is being carried
on by the newspapers of the United
States, more than half of which are
so progressive and so interested in the
transportation problem which affects
in one way or another every one of
their readers, that they contribute of
their valuable space to the cause of
good reads everywhere.
AS is natural, the pins in the map
are thickest in the extreme East and
Middle Eeastern States and thinnest
in the far West, where towns are
more widely scattered and newspapers
are fewer Certain parts of the West,
however, notably the immediate vicin-
ity of San Francisco, Los Angeles and
Portland and Seattle, are so thick
with pins that the map is completely
hidden from view.
Visitors to the National Highways
Association exhibit in the Coliseum
express themselves as amazed at the
amount of effort being put into the
cause by the newspapers, as we'll as
much pride and satisfaction when
their own particular home paper IS
found to be represented upon the map.

Better Cars
A statistical summary of the vari-
Gus values possible to obtain today
by the expenditure of dollar as COM
pared with ten years ago has been
made by the National Automobile
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, build
ing, crops, and live stock, and such
intangibles as the cost of living and
rents.
According to this summary, dol
lar in 1913 purchased dollars worth
of motor car; in 1928 it purchased
Sill worth Of motor car, whereas
the dollar which bought Hol1ar's
worth of food in 1918, today buys
68.5 cents worth of food.
A dollars worth of tires in 1913 cost
a dollar. For the same dollar in 1928
one buys $1.23 worth of tires, where
as 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

SCHOOL NEWS

The students of Fitz-Hi missed the
usual visiting pastors at Monday morn
ing chapel, who are usually requested
to read the scripture and lead in pray
er.
Mr. Bennett asked all students who
are planning to enter the ready writer's
contest to meet him in his office inn
mediately after school. Some arrange
ments were made at this time. Mr..
Bennett has been kind enough to Sc
cure several magazines and current
papers for those entering the contest.
Monthly exams" began in Fitz- Hi
Tuesday and will continue until the
following Thursday week.
The basket ball game Friday night
was one of unusual interest, it being
the first double header of the season.
However we are expecting several 9TH

The boys team played Ocil1a irnmed-
lately after the girls game Fri
day night. Although the victory was
Ocilla's, Fitz-Hi is proud to claim

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

OF highways
Better city streets have taught We
hicle users to demand better subur-
ban roads. The requirements for the
country road are not as drastic as 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 per-
NIT the rapid and comfortable move :
ment of vehicles but to conserve fuel
and tires. A slight saving in the OPP
Grating cost per vehicle reaches large
aggregate when the vast number of
motor cars is considered which justi-
fies considerable outlay to obtain
smoothness.
The factor gets bigger every year,
in county road specifications.
Impact attracts the attention of en-
gineers to an increasing degree. A
wheel with drop of l inch when in
motion delivers blow equivalent to
six times the dead weight City engi-
neers, therefore, attach increasing i'm
portance to the resiliency of pave
ments to take up the shock of impact.
County road engineers build mo
flexibly every year.
| 1t is now almost impossible to close
an important street 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.

Bolshevist guard. This guard how
ever, was not at all isolated in the
battle for the defense of those results
which were Immediately attained I'M
der the leadership Of Lenin.
Thus, as the demands for Liberty
for faction building were rejected by
the mass of the party members, the
old Bolshevist guard discovered the
young party members to be on their
side against the attempt at splitting
the Party according to generations.
The declarations of the Leaders Of
the Youth League, of the Youth or
ganizations of Petrograd and other
industrial centres, stand opposed to
the decision of a few University
Party nuclei, who demand liberty of
forming factions. The unity of the
old and young Bolshevist guard was
not only not shaken during the de-
bate, but strengthened by the fact
that the youth gained an insight into
the roots of the discussion, which
dated back as far as the old struggle
of Bolshevism. It was only now that
they began to understand the real inn
port of the old struggles within the
party.
The result Of the discussion will be
decided at the All-Russian Party Con-
ference. According to all indica-
tons, there is no longer any doubt as
to what form the decision will take.
Not even very small minority have
definitely adopted the standpoint of
the opposition. On the other hand,
the overwhelming majority Tin some
districts 80 and even 1000 of the
membership declared themselves to
be absolutely for the old Bolshevist
guard.
The great majority of the Party
took full account of the fact that the
Communist Party Of Russia is not
merely one Of the Communist Parties.
but is governing party, whose crisis
is at the same time crisis Of the
proletarian state, that the Commun-
list Party of Russia is the leading
party Of International Communism
and its crisis means a crisis for the
Communist international.

BGch's Passion Is
SuperbLy Rendered
by the Apollo Club
By ALFRED v. FRANKENsTEIN


Bach's Passion According to st.
Matthew" was performed for the
first time in some years by the
Apollo club at Orchestra Hall on
Feb. Is. Bach once declared that
music is for the glorifcation on
God, and for pleasant recreation"
Generally speaking, to modern ears
the music that old Bach wrote for
pleasant recreation offers nothing
but an interesting technical display,
or the delights of nap in a chair
at concert hall. But his religious
music is some of the finest that the
world affords. The Christ myth, with
its elaborate system of enslaving be-
lief will pass into the dust heap of
dead legends, but the music that
it inspired will remain and live.
A Long, Dreamy Revery.
The Passion music is an elaborate
setting of that part of the gospel
Of st. Matthew that deals with the
crucifxion of Jesus. 1t calls for a
large chorus, solo voices and or
chestra. The music contains little
that can be called dramatic or ex-
citing; it is the long dreamy revery
of soul completely at peace. The
tenor solo carries the burden of it,
with occasional solos for other voices
with the chorus singing the words
of the mob in the story.
Richard Crooks, a singer not very
well known hereabouts, sang the
tenor part superbly. His is one of
the few voices to which the hack
neyed adjective golden" can truth
fully be applied. His Interpretation
left nothing wanting. He was thor
oily in the meditative, unperturbed,
spirit of the calm, faith-inspired
genius whose music he sang.
The other soloists, Else Arendt,
Mary Welch, Burton Thatcher, and
John Barclay had little to do, Mr..
Barclays few arias showed a voice
pleasant in quality, but somewhat
deficient in power for his part.
The Apollo club is chorus of
some three hundred amateurs direc-
ted by Harrison Wild, who is prob
ably the most able choral director
in the city, and the effects its mem
bers accomplish are those to be ex-
pected from an excellent chorus with
a conductor of Wild's ability.
The club announces for its last
concert this season, to be given at
Orchestra Hall on April 7, Rossini's
"Stabat Mater" and "Resurgam," by
Henry Hadley.

And the rich man called a servant
and bid him bring the overseer.
All, what sad night that was in
the little hut of the Negroes. Poor
Hannah Rugged her little son close
in her arms and cried as tho her
heart would break. Her husband Tom
sat gazing at her with worried eyes
and was SO miserable that he could
not say a word. Hannah kept look
ing anxiously toward the little win
dow, trembling with the fear of see
ing the first ray of light that meant
that day was near, when she would
leave her loved ones.
The little grey dog seemed to un-
derstand the grief of his friends, he
nestled quite close to Hannah's coat
looking up at them with loving, Gle
yer eyes. Then Hannah cried loud
ly, "If they sell you, too, Tom, what
will become of our poor child?" the
little de- laid his paw on little Ben
jamin as no to say, Don't fear, poor
mother, l will take care of him."
Hannah noticed this, sobbingly
patted the shaggy head of the dog,
and said to him, "Guard my little
boy, you good little dog. We are
all as helpless and deserted as you"
The following morning, poor Han
nah, weeping bitterly, rode off with
the young woman. Her family was
not allowed to see her off, for Tom
had to work in the field and Ben
jamin, like all the slaves, was for
hidden to come near the house Of the
rich man.
Little Benjamin lived thru many
sad days. His father was so unhap-
by that he no longer wanted to work,
and many evenings he would return
