iest OF Shieks, even surprising the
suave Rodolph himself in the many
Glyn ''mauling" scenes with which
the picture is saturated. Aileen Prin-

stately as the queen in Three
Weeks is equally beautiful in this

not have much to do except look wor-

ROUTING TRAFFIC AROUND
CITIES PAYS DIVIDENDS

In the days of the horse, main arter-
les of travel naturally entered cities, at
the most convenient place, and travel
along the highway passed down Main
Street without slowing up. The horse
drawn vehicle could get through city
as fast as it could travel the country
road. With the advent of the swift
moving car and auto trucks. conditions
changed. Through traffic on roads is
greatly slowed up in the city, due 10
crossings, congestion, narrow streets,
stopping for pedestrians and street
cars, etc. In addition, through traffic
b ought through a city adds largely to
the city's traffic problem.
The modern idea is to dirvert
through traffic around large centers.
The few additional miles thus travelled
are more than made up for in the de-

quested to send their votes. OF the
votes received, 2,1O4 were dry, 1851
were wet. Unsigned votes and votes
too late to be counted added $500
more. Most of these votes are stated
to have been dry.
These results have received no pub
licity whatever. There is no. desire to
criticise the Associated Press or other

that when radio broadcasting station at

received widespread publicity through

PRODUCER-TO-CONspM AREA
INCREASED BY GOOD
ROADS

Statistics of the use of good roads by
farmers for direct marketing to con-
sumers show the great advantages hard
roads possess for the man who makes
his living directly from the soil. 1t has
been shown that the longest dairy route
profitable over good earth road is Is
miles for the round trip. while over a
hard road the dairy farmer can operate
profitably route with q total length of
40 miles. This applies to every truck
farmer, poultry raiser. and farmers in
general with produce to sell direct to
the consumer. Moreover, the IS mile
trip over an earth road is only practi-
able part of the year, while the 40 mile
route over the hard road is good all the
time, regardless of the season.
With hard roads, all country pro-
ducers of foodstuffs can make profit
able daily trips TO the city and back
from distance of 20 miles, creating a
producer-to-cons area with a
radius of 20 miles around every city.
Not only the farmer connected with
"a direct market, but he who is connect
ed by hard no, with railroad ship
ping point, reaps steady profit from
good highways. In many States it has
often happened that fruit has been
allowed to rot and fertile fields have
gone uncultivated because impossible
rpads have, made profitable sales out of
the question. Good roads mean steady
profits and Constant demand for fan m
products at good prices.

FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1924

Kind words for the new Democratic
tax reduction law are coming from un-
expected quarters. The authors and
supporters of the measure in Congress
were sure that it would find approval
with the rank and file Of income tax
payers and business men, but they
were not prepared to hear the Wall
Street journal or similar spokesman
admit its virtues.
These admissions are somewhat
grudgingly made, of course, but they
are all the more eloquent for that rea-
son. Most Of the propaganda for the
.Mellon plan" had its origin among
the class for which the Wall Street
journal Is Published. 1t may be that
even these interests and individuals
were misled as to the benefit they
would derive from the mellon PLAN
and the harm they would suffer from
the kind of law which Democratic
leadership has written. 1t is not I'M
likely that the equity and fairness OF
the Democratic measure will commend
itself to other groups which were in
duced to believe that anything but the
Mellon scheme would do them hurt.
