America has reverted to the ancient system of collecting
tolls wherewith to build and maintain highways.
In 1925 these tolls amounted to $094O00 000 collected
through motor licenses gasoline taxes property corporation
production and other automobiles automobile
manufactures the petroleum industry, etc.
In the S1003 600 900 spent rural roads

national system, eligible for Federal
aid. Nearly every mile OF that 1885,
061 was candidate for designation
as a Federal highway. But in the end
the system was laid out as truly ma
tional one.
When the map was published 1t
showed nearly the 100000 miles Of
designated routes. Since then 46,4s5
miles of these roads have been i'm
proved. nearly $4,000 more are under
construction, and over 1000 have been
approved for early beginning OF work.
In addition to that many states have
built, without Federal aid, extensive
sections which are included within
this national system. In fact, these
state contributions aggregate $4,000
miles. so that approximately two
thirds OF the 100000 mile national
highway system has already been i'm
proved
Uncle Sam az Road Supervisor
"Along with all Of this, there Is the
Federal supervision over construction

helps build road he reserves au.

OF uniform marking along highways.
which makes 1t possible for motorists
to drive thousands Of miles on dss-

come so familiar that after a few
miles he need not ask directions.
Finally Federal participation has
made possible great number OF
bridges at strategic points. Some OF
these have been needed for years, yet
state and local authorities have been
unable to provide them, partly be-
cause OF the cost, partly because of
competition between routes. When q
stream separates two counties, or two
states, 1t is often impossible to get
them to agree where to build or how
to divide the cost Of bridge In
such cases the Federal authority has
repeatedly mediated differences and
secured construction. Let me men

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
 FACES HARD WEEK
Track Squad Meets Crosby
 Today at Memorial Field

At the close of school this after noon the N. B. H. s. track team will go down to Memorial field in Willow Brook part to battle with the Crosby High school team of Waterbury. A hard battle is expected, and the chances of victory for the New Brit ain team are very bright.
 New Britain hopes for victory lay In their ability to take the dash events. Crosby is very weak in this line. If it is successful in holding the Red and Gold in the short runs, the meet will be won by them in the field events where some of their husky shot putters, discus throwers. and javelin tossers will show the way.
 New Britain should win in the re- lay event and the 100 yard dash with Bray stepping ahead Of the rest Ii Is probable that Grysbowski may al so place in this event. The man that beats out Schick in the quarter mile event will probably be the win per, The real battle of the meet will be Captain Fred Zehrer and Daley in the half-mile run. Daley, in the Hartford meet d few weeks ago, was the only Crosby man to tin- ish in first place. Incidently Zehrer was the nearest to getting a tirst place in the Loomis-New Britain meet about two weeks ago.
 Much is expected of Sochinsky and Derrick in the mile run; Erickson. Reed and Robertson in the high jump; Grysbowski in the broad jump, and Conley in the shot put.
 Saturday the boys will battle in New Haven against the pick of track stars from all over the country in the Yale interscholastic meet. Know Ing that the team will not win the meet Coach Leonel Depot is con- centrating as many places as possi- ble. He is grooming Doc" Bray for the. 100 yard dash, and Doc" is responding by keeping in training He expects to gain a place in the half mile event with Captain Fred Zehrer. These two with Robinson are the only veterans from last year and are less likely to be stage struck when they appear before the large crowd at this annual event.
 Following the meet all the teams will be banqueted in Yale Dining hall.

By .nc A..o.LataL rres..

By the Associated Press.
 Old John Quinn Picus of Hazlcton, Pa, or Jack Quinn as he is known in baseball. continues on his youthful pitching way for the Philadelphia Athletics after Al years of life and 2S years in the professional game.
 Many pitchers went 10 various major league mounds in yesterdays contests but none was so successful as the big righthanded Pcnnsyl- vanian who has given Connie Mack something to smile about this season If the tall, thin ruler of the Phila- delphians can find if possible to smile.
 Quinn has won more games than he has lost in his long service on the diamond, but it now appears that after passing two score years on this earth he has attained the height of his ability as an athlete. Mack claimed him through the waiver process in July of last year, the Bos- ton Red Sox being the losers.
 Yesterday Quinn allowed the De troit Tygers six singles, three of them coming in the ninth inning for his victims only run. Gehringer and Cobb each found him safely twice while Manush and Wingo managed to register a blow a piece He won' 5 to 1, because his mates pounded LII Stoner for five runs in the opening inning.
 The New York Yankees, mean- while. carried their second winning streak of the season to six straight with the Chicago White Sox on the losing end, to 3. Once again the Yankees were Outhit but they scored in punches.
 Iris Speakers Indians failed 19 hits to smother Washington by 12 to 5, Sturgeon. Speaker and Joe Sewell leading the offensive. Buckeye and Karr held Washington to seven safe ties.
 Cincinnati's winning string was ended at six games by the New York Giants who iammed across four tal- lies in the eighth. Billy Terry rOamed in left field for the Giants, gathered in one chance and hit safely twice. Carl Mays pitched all the way for the Reds and was batted rather freely.
 Pittsburgh downed Brooklyn in l2 innings. to $. Wanter tripled in the final frame and Wright and Cuyler were passed. A long sacrifice fly from Traynor's bat settled the issue.
 Another ninth inning rally. which scored two runs gave the Chicago Cubs victory over Philadelphia z to C. after Mokan had make the Phlltos' lead look safe with q homer in the eighth that scored two ahead of him.
 The Cardinals annexed their sixth consecutive conquest with the Boston Braves victims, s to ,. batting Larry Benton hard Jim Bottomley, leader among the National leagues home run hitters, scored his seventh Of the season.

Battling Battalino, Connecticut foatharweiEht champion, scored a victory over Johnny Bo- dine of New Haven after a fourth round of fighting at the opening show Of the Capitol Park club last night It was Battalino's first ap- pearance inside the ropes after many months and for the first few minutes, it seemed as if he was "off'' and was in for a tough evening. In the second round, however, he re- cuperated and he made up enough points for the judges to declare the bout even at the end of the third round. An extra round was fought and, although Bodine was in a bad way. hc managed to stay. The fight went 10 Battalino.
 Clarence Whiting of Hartford and Tony Buggy of New Haven put on another good show. The bout was even at the end of the third ses- sion and in the fourth round, Buggy had Whiting almost out when he lost on a foul, hitting Whiting while he was down on one knee.
 Jackie Kelley of Waterbury took dive after Nick Silyers Of New Haven crashed a right to his chin. This was 100 tough. so the Water bury boy went down and wouldn't get up. In the opening bout, Joo Brightwood took close decision from Pat Shea of Hartford. Bright woods aggressiveness won him the fight.
