LEAGUE ANT|-WAR
PLANS GENERAL
Measures to Prevent Out
breaks Will Apply to 0utsid-
ers, Committee Holds.
By the Associated Press.

GENEVA. March l6.-The League
of Nations is interested in preventing
The outbreak of any war. regardless
of whether the nations concerned are
members of he league. This was made
clear yesterday in a report adopted by
the league council committee engaged
in interpreting the league covenant
as an insirums mt for preventing war.
No nations are named in the report,
but ii indicates that any dispute
even though ii involves the United
States, Mexico, Turkey or any other
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a matter of con-
Germ to the council. That body should
study the ACCESSIBILITY of bringing into
play all preventive measures, includ-
Ing aerial and naval demonstrations,
against the state which adopts hos
tile attitude.
The report concludes that If, despite
all measures, a war occurs, 1t Is PROB
able that events will have made IT
possible to say which state is the aS'
gressor. This will enable the league
to enforce the economic, financial and
military penalties provided in article
16 of the covenant, which PROVIDES
for the severance of economic reia'
tions by league members with state
which violates the provisions OF the
covenant regarding war.

Inte|ligent|y Planned
Highway Systems

The increasing trent toward mo-
tor vehicle transportation has inten
slhed the necessity of intellieeDtly
planned highway system. The plan
OF state highway improvement may
materially alter the economic and
social development of people as
a whole, or anv section. DR.. j. e.
Mckay, of the Bureau of Public
Roads, points out that the location
and improvement or lack of i'm.
provement of a given route is of
vital Importance not only to the
traffic of the immediate locality
but also to the traffic of the larger
areas. He says:
The development of system Of
highways should be considered in
terms of the movement of the peo-
pie and goods. The planning and
construction of a connected system
of highways deal with the destiny
of localities and states, their aeri
culture. their industries, the growth
of suburban areas adjacent to Gen.
ters of population. and the social
activsties of the people. This is q
tremendous responsibility. There
can be no question concerning the
necessity of developing sound plans
for highway improvement over d
period of years in the several states,
and OF providing the necessary
money to carry out economically
the proposed plans OF improvement.
Road construction is not now the
problem it was. The immense trac-
tors and our heavy road machinery
takes the place of hundreds of men
and horses formerly necessary, and
minimize possibility of labor trou-
bes; to say nothing of making. il
p ,ssible to complete given job in
i much less time
Our main through hiehwoys must
be paved with some material re
quiring little maintenance, and
which can be repaired, when nec-
essarv. while the highway is in
use-eliminating costly detours with
their waste of time and inconven-
fence.

Song Of the Spring


A pleasant song of spring is on the air,
The lark is calling in the rising morn.
lue skies so lately tempest driven are
fair
And white clouds by the early breeze are
bourn.
The hills are clothed in emerald green that
slept
Beneath their wintry coaks of silvery
The srns warm rays across the hills have
crept,
The awakened stream is murmerine sweet
and low.
The robins song commineles with the
cry
OF calling srows: The chatterine wren is
heard.
The wild ducks to the northern lakelands
fly;
We hear the bawling OF the restless herd.
And soon the violet's purple face will
show
Along the highway carpeted with grass,
For all the world we love would seem to
know
That we are glad when winter seasons
pass.
We hear the songs of women thru the
door,
The voices of the workmen in the fields
The murmer of the bees,-the thunder's
roar,-
A thousand accents which the seasons
yields.
The rose shall spread the fragrance of her
breath.
The columbine shall sway. she harebelIs
ring.
The sleeping germ shall rise from winters
death;
A world awaits the coming of the spring.

The Gospel Of Good Roads

Ii is not so long ago that the Get
erpilar Tractor Company published
IA most interesting volume, entitled
'Out of the Rut This books stor,
began almost at the beginning o.
time and showed the history to roac
building up to the present.
1t brought out ,orcibly the fact
that in many sections of the coun
try the gospel of good roads is still
In that stage characteristic of the
middle of the 10Th Century, cover.
ing only the veriest beginnings OF
modern roadway systems.
1t is almost inconceivable that
any American community could
contenance indefinitely the handi-
cap Of poor roads. The whole his
tory of the worlds advance is in
sepaTable from its transportation
facilities. The world has prospered
with the development of transpor
tation rather than transportation
with the development of the world.
Those who live on great highways
suffer because there are places in
this nation where good roads 90 not
abound. 1t is for the general wei
fare that we should spread the Cos
pei of good roads until it taps and
develops the hindermost regions,
adding wealth and greater prosperi-
ty to our unified nation.

American Legion
Amateur Night Program
Big Local Success

One of the best programs ever
gwen In the city of Plentywood by
local talent was the one staged last
Saturday night to a large audience
at the OrDheum Theatre under the
auspices of Plenty wood Post No. So
OF the American Legion. Before
the program started the audience
was entertained by Whites Orches-
ira.
The famous Male Octet broad
casted several selections through
out the program which gave the
listeners all opportunity to tune in
OH some harmony, and at the same
time get view of the handsome
eight who produced the melodious
noise. The same was true of the
Mixed Quartet which got by lucky
with only applauses from the audi
ence.
Two beautiful solos we're sung
one, a dramatic solo by Lois Good
man entitled "Thoity Thoid and
fhoid Street. accompanied by Miss
Helm. and the other, by the Elgin
Cafes noted Tenor, Posku Popesku,
entitled Little Mother Mine" ac-
companied by Mrs. Garneau
The Musical Comedy entitled
l"Cyntbias Strategy" was a scream
from beginning to end and proved
two things; one. that a man plus
the proper decorations equals
good looking woman. and the other,
that whiskers not produced in the
natural way are more affected by
the law of gravity.
Uncle Dicks Mistake, a one act
comedy, was given with the best of
talent and everyone in the audience
made note OF it.
Music and comedy was not over
looked when the curtain raised on
"Rhubarb Weedout and His Three
Musty Smears". The circus is only
a nightmare III comparison with
them.
Last, but not least, was the elo-
quence displayed in the searching
for certain word which had disap-
peared when the Post Commander
addressed the audience endeavoring
to inform them that he thanked
them for their excellent attendance
and kind d... Their ap-
plause BROUGHT TO his attention the
word ATTENTION which had dis
appeared and he managed TO get
through without any further prompt
ing.
After singing The Star SpangIed
Banner in which the audience took
part, those engaged i'll the program
were given a treat at the Flgin Cafe
by the legion.
The success of the program was
due to the earnest eBdeavor and
cooperation of all who took part in
it and to whom the Legion as a
whole is very grateful, and especial
ly TO Mr. and Mrs. Ernest f1elgeson
and Mrs. A. O OpsTande, who con-
tributed as much extra time and
effort in making it such a marked
success.
