PARIS SPENDS VAST
SUMS ON PAVING
Contractors Held Responsible fo'
Upkeep of Streets for
Period of Years.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. May 3o.-The City Of
Paris is spending 11h million francs
this year in repaving some of the most
important boulevards and other thor
oUghfares, the upkeep of which had
heen somewhat neglected since the be
ginning of the war on account of a
shortage of funds. In order to repair
and rebuild these streets, most of
which are paved with tarred wooden
blocks laid on a concrete bed, the mu-
niclpal council has decided according
to advices received by the Bankers
Trust Company, to adopt the system
of maintenance contracts which has
been in use in London already for
considerable number of years.
Under this system the contractor
whose bid is accepted has to guaran-
tee his work for a certain number Of
years, during which time he is reSpon-
sible for the upkeep. The city pays for
the work on the inStalment plan, the
last and smallest instalment being
paid during the last year of the period
for which the work has been guaran-
teed.
In certain streets of Paris the city is
also trying out q new synthetic
asphalt, which is manufactured in
Strasburg and costs from 10 per cent
to 10 per cent less than the ordinary
asphalt. If the trial gives a good re
suit it is expected that this new ma
terial will be used to a considerable
extent for streets of a secondary i'm
portance, where traffic is not too
heavy.

DECLARES BRITAIN
LEADS IN RECOVERY
Trade Expert Finds Econom-
ic Progress 0utstrips Other
Nations in Europe.
Special Dispatch to The Star,

NEW YORK, May 30.-"Since the
World War, says E. NJ. Miller, Statis-
tician of the National Bank of Com.
merce, writing in the June Commerce
Monthly, the United Kingdom has
made more real progress toward a
normal economic life than has any
other European combatant country,
THE gains made have been Sc
cured without any departure from the
established principles of financial in
tegrity.
Trade Is Discouraging.
An understone Of discouragement,
nevertheless, underlies many British
discussions of the national trade out
look. The most obvious outward evil
dence that the current situation
leaves much to be desired is wide
spread, chronic unemployment, which
constitutes a fearful tax upon indus
try and commerce and which has in
evltably proved demoralizing to labor
1t is easy to draw unduly pessimistic
conclusions from the unemployment
situation, however.
If due allowance is made for the
number of men actively engaged in
military and naval service. Great
Britain makes a very favorable show
ing as to employment when compared
with some of the continental coun-
tries which outwardly have given an
appearance of greater industrial
activity. The British people have
been fed, clothed and sheltered
from current income since the close
of the conflict and have a small ma
tional margin left over for foreign
investment"
Turning to a consideration of the
problem of the future of British for
eign trade, E. NJ. Miller says:
Although exports have increased
steadily during the last three years,
in volume they are only little more
than three-fourths OF what they were
In 1913. Net income from overseas
investments is materially lower than
in that year and the income from
shipping and other sources has not
increased at all commensurately with
the increase in imports.
There Is no reason to fear an alb
solute decrease in the world demand
for imports of manufactures, for the
settlement of new areas and increas-
ing populations in the newer coun-
tries Of the world will serve as an
offsetting influence. But there are no
grounds for expectation of a return to
the status of 1914 and competition for
export markets is certain to be saw.

Holland Losing Windmills.

Due to the increasing cheapness and
good economy of motors, windmills in
Holland are steadily disappearing.
Few new ones are being built and re-
pairs are less also. AS old mills be-
come inefficient, motors are substi-
tued. A windmill costing $4,000 will
develop only 111z horsepower and the
wind blows with working strength
only about LAO hours year, so that
motors are found more economical
and efficient, though less picturesque.

"A large graph was then presented
showing the seriousness of the ,acci-
dent hazard resulting from the tre-
mendous increase in automobile traffic
during the past 10 years.
1.-THE graph was plotted from avail
able yearly records OF automobile ia
taIities and the total number of au-
tomobiles registered, showing how the
number of accidents had increased in
direct ratio with the number of au-
tomobiles in use. In 1912, with 1000,
900 registered cars in use, there were
5000 automobile fatalities. In 1922
with 100000 automobiles regis
tered, approximately $4,000 persons
were killed in traffic accidents. APP
proximately each increase of a million
automobiles in use added 1000 to tie
death toll.
Mortality Rate High.
"A second chart was then presented.
Perhaps the most alarming feature of
the automobile accident is the high
mortality among children. The data
used in this graph had been compiled
from the publications of the United
States Bureau of the Census. The dis.
tribution of fatalities from 1913 to
1922 by age groups was fairly uniform,
from year to year. One-third of all
persons killed by automobile accidents

on the two main avenues, Pacific and
Atlantic, which run the length Of the
city parallel with the beach. In aim
ing for the beach-front hotels travel
weary motorists wonder why they
have to wait so long before the lights
permit them to cross these two
arteries of travel. and almost every
tourist who meets this situation for
the first time wants to tell the au-
thorities how the lights are handled
In Detroit or in their own home town.

Because Seattle. Wash, has only
one trafnc officer to each 4,166 motor

led to believe that fewer trafic ON
GERS can handle traffic with greater

no motor fatalities for. January and

The place of the highways as
avenues Of commerce will be dis
cussed by Secretary OF Agriculture

Secretary Jardine and the United
States Bureau of Public Roads have
l been paying particular attention to
the commercial relationship OF high.
ways to farm prosperity and general
use by the public. Several economic
studies by the bureau already have
been published, others are under
way, and it is epected some new i'm
portant facts resulting from these
studies will be announced by the Sec
retary at the conference.
The purposes OF the conference are
to discuss how terminal costs may be
lowered, trucks economically en-
ployed for short haul, cost accounting
introduced in the truck field to eltmi-
nate unfair competition, and co'ordi-
mated plans developed to save time

Hint for Those Who Lightly Esti
mate Car Ownership.

II you think car ownership has re.
solved itself into a few cut,and.dried
rules. or that there il nothing new to
learn, here IL a little stunt in gasoline
economy worth trying:
The next time you take q trip over
the open road or through the city
make no effort to coast nor to tamper
with the carburetor. Instead, eiini-
nate unnecessary stopping. Drive the
car as though it had no brakes.
Rather than take q chance. proceed
cautiously.
You'll be surprised to find-that your
gas mileage will be the best you have
ever obtained. It will convince you
that stretching the gallons means to
stop stopping. Killing momentum
costs money.

A lesson on safety for school chill
dren recently brought Mrs. Myrtle A.
Roe. school teacher, of Sterling, Colo,
to- Washington, where she was hon.
ored by the President and Mrs. Cool
idge and awarded a $500 prize by the
Highway Education Board. Mrs. Roe
was the winner in a national contest
conducted by the board, and her les
son was chosen from among a large
number of contestants. Miss Edith B.
Whitney of Virginia, Mimi, and Miss
Hazel I. Leland of Burlington, VT,
were awarded second and third prizes,
$500 and 5000, respectively.
Mrs. Roe explained the objects Of
the safety lesson were to help the chill
dren become familiar with highway
safety habits through classroom in
structien; to stimulate desire TO prac-
tice in everyday life these correct
habits, and to provide through school
activities an opportunity to learn
by doing"
Plan Is Outlined.
She described the preparation and
presentation of her lesson as follows:
I'm preparation for this lesson,
safety books, magazines and bulletins
were obtained. The children were given
easy access to this material.
The safety bulletins were hung
about the ella assroom. The Do sio-
gans, giving the children positive sug.
gestions for constructive thinking
were selected. By this means a single
picture told specific story more
vividly than did pages Of type. The
children studied these pictures at every
opportunity.
"The topic How the Community
Aids the Citizen to Protect His Life
was discussed by the class. The prin
cipal thought of this lesson was that
the citizens life and safety depend
| upon the careful observance of laws
and regulations made by the commu
nifty.
''In the development of this lesson
| it was found that constant violation
and lax enforcement of highway laws
| and regulations cause many acci

mind that the individual who disre
