million miles of improved highways have been
built in America since 1904. Thousands of miles
have been graded and Strengthened In 1904 only 2
per cent Of the total mileage graded and sur
faced.
In 1925, according to governmental estimates. ST..
5OO,O0O0OO was spent in highway construction AMI
maintenance. Since then the expenditure has stead.
lily increased. One-sxth of the country's budget is
now expended in highway building or maintenance
1t is the advance Of people. Communities are
brought closer together. Cities and districts and
people brought into contact, and contact makes
better understandings and wider friendships. Rhode
Island comes wheels to Oregon. Oregon goes on
wheels to see the other states. There is freema-
sonry of the road and fraternalism in travel.
The provincialism in which community used to
know only its own customs and habits and narrowed
outlook, is dying Thought and information. once

through ntercounty and interstate contact.
The present is the beginning Of new epoch in
the world. No influence has contributed more t,
the broadening Of lives than the smooth highways
and the with which they bring strange peoples
together, in fellowship and fraternity.
The highway expenditures are an investment in

Editorial Comment
Secret Aims
(OMaha World Herald)


One of the commonest judgments formed about
our neighbors is that based upon what we know Of
how they dispose Of their money. We label them
stingy generous, frugal or spendthrift or with
other term descriptive Of the ifty.seven var-
cites of character based upon their use or misuse
of their material substance. And the pity of it is
that more often than not we are likely to be dead
wrong about it.
Illustration Of the difficulty Of forming such judg-
ments correctly is given in the revelation Of the
secret charities of William R. Alden, pioneer mer-
chant of Hyannis, Neb. This gentleman, according
to the story, had been generally judged to be ex-
tremely close. And yet for upwards of twenty-five
years he had been relieving want and distress and
taking careful pains not to let the fact become
known. He hadn't been content merely to give
help, where the need for it was thrust before his
face. but had gone out of his way to search out
cases that would otherwise never have been known
to him.
His story becomes public through the betrayal Of
his secret by friend whose assistance he had had
to depend upon to dispense his charities In the
circumstances think that friend is right in as.
Stunning that he is released Of the obligation to keep
Mr.. Aldens secret, now that the latter has passed
away. The value of the revelation is not SO muca
! in the post-mortem effect it may have with rea
ton to the judgments formed Of the living Col
Alden as in pointing the moral which is our text.

The Twin Cities worry too much about Chicago.
Chicago is afraid other middle west town will
get something away from it. South Dakota and

The interests Of the people as q whole demand
greater unity in purpose from the middle west.
Sectional jealousies should not interfere with what

ADDITION
TO WILL SCHOOL
Board to Advertise For Bids
on Three.rOOm Single
Story Structure

To alleviate in some degree the
over.crowded condition Of the Will
school building this year. the school
board is considering the erection of
a three-room addition to that build
ing, it was announced today by men,
bers of the board. Bids on the pro-
posed structure will be asked in the
near future and will be opened at
special meeting Of the board Septem-
Der 26.
1t is planned to build brick ad-
dition. 3OxSG, on the south side Of
the present building, which will be
connected to the addition by short
hallway. The new structure would
be brick construction, one story In
height, and would contain three class
rooms. II the addition Is built, It
would be used to house the first
three grades, leaving the present Wilt
school building for the exclusive use
Of the junior high school department.
The board will decide definitely on
the project after the bids are opened
and the approximate cost learned.
Other grade buildings are badly
crowded this year also, and Supt. H.
o. Saxvik has been instructed to en-.
gage another teacher for the Roose-
welt school. Some Of the lower grade
pupils now attending the Will school
and the William Moore school will
then be transferred to the west side
school, it is. said. If the addition to
the Will school is built, another jun
Tor high instructor will also be en-
gagged.
Both the high school and the junior
hiqh departments are crowded almost
to the limit this year, according TO
school officials. and still more pupils
are expected to enroll later in the
fall. so that the problem Of provid-
ing sufficient room Is becoming q

It is q. common superstition that
more babies IRE born in the night
time than in the day time. and hum.
orists constantly indulge in facetious
remarks relative to the night calls
made by the doctor. 800. :.
When an actual Investigation 81
the subject is made, however,. 1T .
found that the records vary but little
from hour to hour in the course Of
day.
A study Of 1854 births was made
in the Queens Hospital of Honolulu.
and similar study Of 1000 births
the Lying-in Hospital Of Chicago.
In the former series out Of lO9S
births there were 643 during the
day and SAC during the night; il
the latter series out Of 1000 births
there were 493 in the day and 6O7 at
night.
The largest number Of babies born
during any single hour was FROM
three to four in the morning, bUt
that number was only few more
than were born from nine to ten at
night and from eight to nine in the
morning.
Perhaps the difficulty lies in the
fact that the service at night places
greater demands on the hospital per-
sonnet than service in the day
time and that many cases carry over
from one period to the other. The
night hours seem longer.
The incident is illustrative Of
many others occurring in the prac-
tice Of medicine. There is proba-
bly, no other field Of human knowl-
edge in which there are so many UNI
warranted superstitions.
