Highway Improvements.

Attention should be attracted TO
the first meeting of the Joint Board
on Interstate Highways, composed of
State and Federal highway officials,
scheduled to assemble here April 90
The board was appointed recently by
the Secretary of Agriculture at the
request of the American Association
of State Highway officials.
1t is explained that the board has
been brought into existence because
of the general demand for a simple
and uniform method of designating
and marking interstate highways.
Through routes, consisting almost en-
tirely of improved roads, are now
common throughout the country. 1t
is reasonable to expect that within
a few years there will be a network
OF such highways over the entire
land. Students of highway traffic
problems recognize that these routes
should be designated in accordance
with some uniform system, which
would consider the main flow of
traffic regardless of State lines. There
is at present much duplication and
confusion in their designation.
At this time there Is practically a
continuous system of improved high
ways from Bangor, Me, to Miami,
Fla. This may be known as the
Atlantic highway, with various sub
titles. 1t is expected that the forth
coming congress of State and Fed
eral officials will by the interchange
Of views yield much benefit to the gen.
eral public in its use of the highway
systems.

Coolidge ''Spice of Life"
Finds Echo lin the Press

President Coolidge's reference to
women's styles in his address before
the National Cotton Manufacturers
Association has been followed by
widespread newspaper comment. His
statement that stabilized fashions
would be boon to the textile indus
try, but present fashions added to
the spice of life," appealed particu-
larly to the editors.
President Coolidge made rather a
neat reference to women's fashions,
suggests the Indianapolis Star. Aft
er noting the fact that the most
whimsical changes of fashion or
taste may produce most complicating
effects upon industry. he quoted a
manufacturer as saying that il women
could be induced to standardize and
stabilize their fashions as the men
have done, half the worries and un-
certainties of the textile industries
would be eliminated. He had also
heard that whereas 20 years ago it
took 10 yards of gingham to make
gown for a woman, she now man
ages to be fashionably dressed out
of three and half yards. The uncer-
tainty and change of fashion may be
difficult for you, but it no doubt re-
lieves monotony and adds to the spice
of life.' he said philosophically. He
did the best a mere man, though a
President, could do in dealing with
the delicate question"
x < X *
The Presidents point Of view is
Endorsed by the Topeka Capital. sit
plainly appears asserts the Capital,
that the President, albeit somewhat
sadly, recognizes the important hui
name effect of changing styles, not
withstanding their economic conse-
quences to the textile industrialists.
We will say that variety in clothes
adds to the spice of life,' and far
be it from the mind of woman to
stereotype dress. There is too much
conformity in this world, which de-
tracts from the spice of life. And,
while there is strict conformity to
fashions by all women, yet with
fashions continually themselves chang
ing, the vice of deadly conformity
is neutralized and compensated. This
might be the rule to be favored In
other things. More important than
the textile industry, for that matter,
or production itself, is life, as the
President limited to the textile manu-
facturers. And the value of variety
is not the only moral consideration
he reminded them Of. You men, he
said, who are responsible for an in
dustry ought to make unlawful and
improper practices in that industry
thoroughly questionable, which was
one of the best remarks about fash
ions that the President made in his
Speech

fashions could be standardized much
Evening star., 1925-04-18

uncertainty would be removed from
the textile industry brings this com
ment from the Harrisburg Telegraph:
1t is to be observed that the Presi.
dent said if.' We suspect that there
was a twinkle in his eye when he
said IT. Standardizing feminine styles
is almost as hopeless task as stand
ardizing the weather. Women never
have allowed anybody to do that, and
we suspect Mr.. Coolidge, with all his
power, couldn't make such a decree
work, even in the White House
X X
The Spokane Spokesman-Review,
however, sees another side of the
shield of fashion, which is TO the ad-
vantage Of the common people. while
fashions fickleness," remarks the Spo-
kane paper, lays a heavy tax upon
its votaries, it is the means of giving
bargains to poor people and to people
who are well-to-do, but are not wear
ing themselves out chasing every
whimsical change in the modes.
Women's and children's shoes, cloaks,
dresses, hats and other articles of at
tire, once out of fashion, go on the
bargain counters and often are sold
for small fraction of the price that
the retailer paid for them"
The Burlington Free Press, ap-
preaching the subject from the Yer
mont standpoint, says of the address:
"Old friends OF the President can
hardly conceive Of his dealing Off
cially with fashions, but nobody can
safely predict where the calls for con
stantly expanding paternal govern
ment may lead us or our Govern
ment. We recall that the President
lately warned a bunch of college fel-
lows to wear suspenders. We shall
seek sedulously to give our readers
the benefit Of this official sartorial au
thority.'
The New Orleans Tribune criticiZes
the employment OF light vein in ad-
dressing so serious body as the cot
ton mill men. I'VE fear" declares
the Tribune, that our excellent Chief
Executive has gone too far. He is not
expected to joke at all. To undertake
to put spice into so sacred a dish &
the sad discussion of a suffering trade
interest aggravates the offense. He
will hear from the trade" An added
attraction at the cotton banquet is
noted by the Little Rock Arkansas
Democrat. which says: THE Coolidge
who spoke was the versatile man, the
President who talks politics for few
paragrap aphs, business for a few more
and injects little of our far-famed
American pep into a few more"
The Great Falls Tribune concludes
after viewing the matter: 1T is
good time to go in and swim in the
business pool. and as for the ladies
God bless them), we don't care
whether they wear their skirts lesR
or short"

"The Dream of Over a Century .

Former Chancellor Marx, candidate
OF the Republicans for President OF
Germany, is campaigning with vigor
and with courage. Confronted by the
candidacy of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, who is supported by all
the Nationalists and Monarchists, 1t
is essential for Marx to strike out on
bold lines. He addressed a great
meeting in Berlin last night and de-
clared in favor of the annexation of
Austria. This was greeted with. vo-
ciferous cheering. 1t was hailed as
a move TO checkmate the claims of
Won Hindenburg to represent the as
pirations of Germany for enlarge
ment and increased strength. At the
same time ii put Marx in the cate
CORY of those not afraid to say things
not to the taste of the entente
powers. 1t was a shrewd bid for
votes.
Whether or not this statement was
more than a campaign maneuver at
this time, it undoubtedly reflects a
cherished aspiration of the German
people, and it presents a question
that will probably continue as a cause
of irritation in Europe. In his speech
az Berlin Marx said: THE annexa-
ton to the brother state Of Austria
and the creation of a greater Ger
many, the dream of more than a GEN.
tury, can be demanded now, when the
security compact is under discus
SION
The dream of over q century" is
significant phrase. 1t was the dream
of greater Germany" of a Ger
man hegemony, that brought about
the great war. the Berlin to Bag
dad" idea. Germany before the war
regarded Austria as logically in line
of absorption. A Teutonic state ex-
tending from the Baltic to the Dan
ube was the immediate vision. But
the Danube was not regarded as the
frontier that would eventually bound
il. That was why Germany in 1914
made common cause with Austria
against Serbia, and hence against
Russia and France, and ultimately
England and Belgium, and finally
Italy.
Austria today is greatly reduced,
practically bankrupt state. Barred
from the sea, deprived Of some Of her
richest territory and most profitable
industries by the creation of Czecho-
slovakia, she is in a pitiable condi-
tion of decrepitude. But no feeling of
commiseration animates the German
intransigent in advocating the an
nexation of Austria. 1t is to fulfill
the dream Of over a century" that
annexa ton is sought.
Were there no other consideration
than the rescue of Austria from
deplorable and unhealthy situation
only academic objection would be
raised by the European powers to the
proposal. But there is far more at
stake than the cure of Austria's eco
nomic and financial ills. The entente
cannot possibly consent to annexa-
ton without destroying the treaty of
Versailles, the basic principle of
which was the reduction of Germany
to a point where she could not men
ace the peace of the world.
