Students i'm Oslo Feel

Economic and other conditions un-

that leading scientists, headed by
Prof. Fridtjof Nansen, recently called
a meeting to draw the public's atten-
tion. Most of the students are from
homes of neager means and therefore
have to shift for themselves.
Owing to the housing shortage, rates
for lodging are very high, obliging
three or four students to share one
room.

lSATURATTON POINT NOT REACHED
in HIGHWAY BUILDING In II. S.
100000 Miles of Hard-Surface Roads Declared
Far From Goal for Nations Enormous Size
America Has Funds to Achieve Ideal Program.

day has in her treasures, in part at
least, could be turned to no better
use than in the upbuilding of vast
network of roads which would antici-
pate the needs of a great future
and do so on a scale commensurate
with the tremendous potentialities
which this country offers for eco
nomic development.
The program of the various States,
and the Federal aid appropriations,
has made an excellent start--there
are approximately 500,000 miles of
hard surfaced roads i'm the United
States at the present time, but the
excellence of this record does not
appear so remarkable--great as it is
when one considers. what might be
accomplished in Americas 1900 900
square miles of territory.
New standards are needed in Wis.,
ualizing that which should be the
Nations ambitious highway con-
structton program. To get the full
and complete picture one must not
Judge on the basis of what has gone
before--or even on what now is be-
ing done--but must utilize new scales
and new measuring rods.
That Is more difficult than it may
appear at first glance, because per-
sons and institutions become welded
TO certain viewpoints and convictions,
often finding it no inconsiderable
task to readjust themselves to new
or to changing conditions. We have
become accustomed to viewing so and
so many miles of road as being
large total. and 1t is in comparison
with previous years, but is 1t a great
zeal when viewed in the light of
future national development?
Ideal Not Yet Reached.
The Nation is priding itself-and
with good reason--upon it's record of
100000 miles of highways, but is it
not fact that many are content to
1eel, II not actually to say, that an
ideal has been achieved?
AS has been pointed out, there must
be no arbitrary limit set on the Ma.
tion's highway goal. OF course no
such limit has been set, and It exists
only In the subconscious minds of
those VINO may not see cleariy-or who
may not have had called to their at
tentlon--the vast panorama Of de.
velopment which must lie ahead.
The United States owes itself the
intensive cultivation of its tremendous
floor space to the end that no insig
nificant proportion Of it be given over
to roads. Fertility and wealth mean
relatively little without highly efficient
modes or transportation, and these
two factors exercise a power for good
on extreme significance when all
centers are bound tightly together, not
oy one or two highways but by a
dozen. radiating in all directions and
annlhiiatlng every possible natural
barrier to progress.
Americas start in highway con-
struct1on has been an auspicious one.
There Is every reason to believe that
the coming years will witness an even
broader development than that which
has taken place in the past, and that
the heritage Of many distant genera
tions viii be bulwark of the f1rmest,
soundest and most highly desirable
character.

mission.
There are two elements in railroad
train accidents-the human and the
tnanimate. That Congress recognizes
its responsibility in the matter is clear
when 1t Is remembered that the Inter
state Commerce Commission is
charged with the administration or
enforcement of nine separate acts
having for their purpose the promo
ton Of safety of employees and travel
ers on railroads.
OF all these acts, it is probable that
that pertaining to train control has
the strongest appeal to- the popular
mind. Generally speaking, automatic
train control may be described as the
link which electro-pneumatically, or
otherwise automatically, checks the
human equation charged with seeing
and Interpreting the indications Of
wayside signals and through the
agency of the air brake manually
controlling the movements of trains
in accordance Herewith.
In the past five years two orders
concerned with the installation Of
automatic train-control devices have
been issued under the authority of the
Commission. AS result, 5S installa-
tions have been completed out of the
80 installations now called for by
these orders, with 4,653 locomotives
and 6,691 miles fully equipped and in
service.
The commission did not undertake
to say what train-stop or train-control
devices should be installed under these
orders. but, instead, adopted specifica-
tions and requirements to which all
installations made under those orders
must conform, leaving the carrier in
each case free to consider the various
systems and make it's own selection in
the light of operating and financial
conditions.
