Premier Praises Highways and Handling of
Traffic Wins Approval
BY EDOUARD HERRfOT,
Premier of France.

This is the fifth Of a series of articles
by Premier Herrott on his observations
in the United States.
PARASITIC city and the state are
organized like a store or a factory.
From the benefits which thsy offer
to the citizens I must choose one
example I'll take that of street
traffic There are three elements -
said a wise man. which make up
the greatness of nation-a fertile
soil, active factories and good roads"
Assuredly the road and the street
are means of work. They are
tools. We have ourselves well
earned reputation in the matter of
good roads
The United States is intensely de-
voted to this problem. 1t is especi-
ally active in developing concrete
roads.
Genesis of Concrete Highways.
The first cement concrete roadbed
was built about 1892. along the public
square of Bellefontaine in the State
of Ohio. Even though subjected to
heavy traffic during 2S years with
few repairs. it is today in very good
condition. In 1921 the United States
had already laid 51.0OO,0OO square
meters of concrete road. No patent
had been taken out for the process
of construction Local engineers
have been able to observe, to colIab-
crate and to perfect the establish
ment of technique today practically
standardized. Always the same proc

Model Highway i'm Delaware.
The country was forced then not
only to improve and develop roads,
but to modify the tracks. From this
point of view one can consider as a
model the Coleman du Pont road,
which goes from the city of Whining
| ton, Del, to the Maryland boundary.
In the traversing of villages, the
elimination of curves and the reduc-
ton of grades this road is worth a
special study.
1t was found necessary to regulate
traffic and it was done. The dimen-
sions and weight of motor cars. the
width of tires, the loading the light
ing, the brakes rules for crossing and
passing-al Of these questions have
been the objects of close study. The
practice of directing traffic by means
of white lines traced on the pave
ment is becoming more and more
general. The most severe restrictions
are imposed at public squares. In New
York luminous signals open and close
the route in order to facilitate cross
town traffic.
These are only indications. Those
interested in such problems can find

&boudoir. Yvonne had said: Give
X2them time to decide who's to be nice
10 who. Then the few In whom you
will be most interested will take you
in hand"
When a maid, hurriedly posted to
catch Yvonne's signal, informed Jo-
anna that she was expected, she
hurried down the stairs from the
upper floor and onto the balcony
from which the grand staircase de-
scended. She was still framed in the
doorway when she realized that the
people in the great room below were
waiting for her, Joanna, their faces
uplifted.
She caught her breath. A hand
flew nervously to her throat. She
would have drawn back but instant
ly realized that she was too late.
Yvonne caught her glance and, with
a nod, treasured her.
Then exhilaration Ieaped through
her stirred pulses. The carnival
spirit of the scene below reached up
and encompassed her. A new ecstacy
of happiness quivered at her finger
tips, in her toes, and throughout
the vibrant warmth of her. This
was to BE- her setting, symbol of the
scintillating festival of which her
life was to be forever shaped! These
people, people of her new world,
were waiting down there " well
come her among them and their
kind! Bravado came into her eyes,
and arrogance dimpled her cheeks.
She moved over to first step be-
tween the curled and carving stair
posts, and stood for a moment per
fectly still. Then she blew kiss
down into the room.

Roddy's habit to enthuse over a
woman except in her presence. He
considered it a spendthrift waste of
energy. Brandon shot sharp glance
at him. He noticed that Roddy
was rigid, his lips slightly parted,
and that he breathed heavily.
Joanna moved down the stairs
slowly, a softly graceful figure that
was haunting in it's suppleness\ and

Herbert Hoover says that the rule of one and one-half miles between traps in Icy Straits is a Conservation" measure. His friends and supporters, the Ketchikan Commercial club, has this to say about traps "one and one-half miles apart"
 "We also believe that the present legal dis tance between traps of 1,8OO feet should not be disturbed To do so would mean the CONFIS- CATION of many INDEPENDENT traps and accomplish LITTLE or NOTHING looking to conservation of supply. The greater distance between traps would increase the catch of each and at the time destroy open competition"

 But when it comes "tit for tat,' these same business men insist that it is all right to sup port the trap system wherein 75 per cent of the fish caught are so caught by Seattle and other outside interests.
 Suppose every citizen of Ketchikan should spend 75 per cent of his money "outside,'- would that be good for Alaska? The mail order houses are not supplying us with 75 per cent of our goods, but yet the merchants "hOller"

 Not more than two members of the same business or profession are allowed to become members; this rule depends upon the size of the town.
