capital with state capitals and i'm

Holiday said his proposal was
identical to the plan adopted by the
state of Illinois, (which resulted in
the splendid system of hard surfac-
ed roads there nOw.'
Mileage Of $1,000
( He proposed 81 routes with a to-

lation. Belt roads may be constructs
ed around large cities to divert
through traffic from congested
areas.
Plans and, specifications for the
construction of the roads claim they
will remain in good condition with
low reasonable maintenance cost un-
til after all bonds have matured.
Special Motor Taxes
The measure proposes an annual
tax of not less than $40 on motor
vehicles operated for hire and 20
year on all other motor vehicles OPP
Grated over the proposed system, to-
gether with a tax of one half cent
a gallon on gasoline.
Construction of the highway sys-
tenn, Holiday said, would inspire
various states to build local hard
surfaced roads connecting with the
system. He said the system would
aid farmers in marketing products
and relieve congestion on railroads.
''With hard surfaced roads avail
able Holiday said, motor trans
portation over short distances will
replace railway transportation and
the short haul railway transporta-
tion facilities will become available
for long distance hauling.
"A nationwide system of hard

WIDER ROADS A NECESSITY

Paved roads used to be our chief concern IN
a good roads program. 1t is estimated that
this year we will have in excess OF 100000
miles of hard-surfaced roads in the United
States. These improved roads have brought
an increase in traffic which no one even
dreamed of 10 years ago. The problems we
now face is not only paved" roads, but
wider" roads. Wider roads are necessary for
two reasons: to enable traffic to speed up, and
to prevent accidents. On many OF our crowd
ed narrow roads slow moving truck or other

shoulders are being built on each side OF the
road and few inches higher than the old sur
face. These shoulders are made of either as
phaltic concrete or cement and the space be-
tween them is resurfaced with asphaltic con-
crete.
BY this method, narrow pavements are sat
isfactorily widened and thickened at mini
mu mexpense From now on, road widening
will be as important as road paving
The tendency is to make all the new roads

Another religious college in the

the colleges of the North become
more loose in orthodoxy, more lax in

ming to plan new institutions of their
own which will keep dominant the
cherished tenets and faith of their
people in Americanism religion and
family and social purity. =
The school being projected by Bob
Jones will be in Panama City in
Florida, and will, like the Bryan Uni

A reform advocated in the recent
biennial convention of Women's
Clubs in Atlantic City was one to pro-
tect animals from "savageries and
cruelties." Included in the measure
was the reference to cattle on the
western ranges, the methods OF Their
shipment and slaughter, the rodeo'
and the use of steel traps for the FUR
bearing animals which live for days
in great torture before their final
capture or death. The Blue Cross Or
ganization is designed to promote hu-
name sentiments in this particular,
but the cruel practice is still going
on. Fur-wearing women will have
the most direct influence here once
they are awakened to their RESPONSE
biIity in the matter r. One ,Ofzthe first
tenets is the. use of fur for warmth
only not for mere ornamentatlon OF
sheer materials or for summer wear.
