HIGHWAY AIMS

The highways of Wayne county, Michigan, in
which Detroit is located, attracting the interest of
highway officials and citizens in all parts of the
try. The chairman of the board of county road COM
missioners states the county's aims thus
Roads low in first cost, dustess, easily and
cheaply maintained; offering safe traction to every
type of vehicle; pavements free from patents and
royalties; roads that be widened or resurfaced
without loss of original investment bridges capable of
supporting 30-ton live load with clear roadway of
27 feet, program of grade separation steam and
electric roads; tree planting and roadside beaufica
ton following all new construction; widened
and banked intersections widened and marked with
flashing lights; open bitches to be closed and guard
rails provided at turns; minimum width of 40 feet
all main highways; underground wires roadside
comfort stations every foot of the roads lighted and
all advertising signs and poles barred
There to be superhghways 200 feet in width
with special traffic lanes for slow and fast moving
vehicles with the center reserved for street car or
terurban tracks rapid transit lines. These giant
highways expected to eliminate all need for sub
ways and to be big enough to take of ransporta
ton of all the workers in city of skyscrapers and
give the skyscrapers themselves attractive setting
Wayne county is said to be getting more highway
value for its expenditure than most counties An in
terestng and stimulating fact about it all is that in
general way this splendid highway program was plan
ned 16 years ago. 1t furnishes inspiring example
of the Importance OF foresight combined with neigh
borhood cooperation and the elimination of petty
politics.

Many Apply For
Licenses After
Cops Get Busy

Activities of the state traffic
squad on the Imperial county high
ways for the past week or so, have
resulted i'll many applications for
operators licenses. During that
period hundreds of cars have been
stopped, and when drivers were un-
able to show Il license, their ear
numbers were taken and they were
ordered to obtain a license at once.
This morning the traffic office
at the courthouse was crowded with
drivers. mostly foreigners, who
were taking out applications for
drivers licenses. Traffic Officer
McClelland, who is in charge of the
squad while Captain Leonard is on
his vacation, estimated that upwards
OF 100 applications have been made
out by the squad this week. pro-
viding plenty of paper work for
McQellant and Officer Williams
who was aiding him.
The campaign will be continued
until the number of drivers operat-
ing without licenses is reduced to
the lowest possible minimum, Me-
Cielland said.

PLENTIFUL PETROLEUM.

A special committee of the American Petroleum
Institute has recently turned its finding the
federal oil conservation board at Washington. The
report covers 800 pages and to be wholly opt
mistic
1t is reasonable the report states to assume that
the oil of the United States the
try sufficient supply of motor fuel and lubricants
for national defense and for commercial use beyond
the time when science will have found some natural
substitute. -
Petroleum still recoverable in known fields by
present methods amounts to than 5000, 900 900
barrels Of crude oil, with additional 26 billions OBJ
tainable by process known by but not be used
until prices justify.
According to the report. the limit of deep drilling
has not yet been reached. Improved methods
pected to reveal deposits greater depth which will
be equivalent to the discovery of fields. Oil shae
represents another vast which has not been
tapped yet and further liquid fuel and lubricants
may soon be extracted from coal and ligntes.
Greater economy and efficiency in the of gaso-
line would amount to considerable conservation, but
economy is something hard to teach the American pub
lie long there is plenty of any desired commodity
in sight Nevertheless greater efforts toward economy
and efficiency should be made before waste and inef
ficiency make too great inroads this vast but
haustible resource.

MORE REPRESENTATIVES,

The old question of reapportionment of represen-
tatves from the states to Congress up again Pres
ident Coolidge is being urged to advocate action which
would increase the House membership from 435 to
483 eliminating existing inequalities in the present
allotment to the states.
1t is understandable that state should not want
its representation reduced. 1t is also understandable
that inequalities must inevitably occur as different
sections develop and shoot ahead of their former sta
tus in population.
Yet the whole subject is something on which the
public needs to do good deal more sober thinking
than 1t has done of late. The House of Representa-
tves long since reached the "unwieldly' stage. De-
liberation and discussion the floor had become al
most impossible back in the days of the Civil War
when the membership reached 243. Since then there
has been steadily increasing Capitalization of floor
control and the delegation of all real discussion and
decisions to committees
Representatives then become errand boys for their
constituents instead of legislators They obtain pass
ports pardons, the entry of aliens report
claims, obtain ntroductons and do all sorts of
small political services 1t seems if thoughtful cit
liens ought to want important service from their
congressman.

Mr.. Who Who, the owl, was very

the other creatures of the woods
and fields said he was very wise,
and when every one says you are

so.
And, to tell you the truth, which [

bird. He knew he could not see
well in the daylight, and so he

when his big eyes showed him the
bugs and other things that he
caught to eat.
