Best Roads in the World

When foreign countries, to prove their own
superior progressiveness, cite statistics show
ing that the United States has mileage Of
unimproved highways greatly in excess Of
their own they, Intentionally or by an over
sight, fail to explain that this country has a
highway system much vaster than their own
and also more miles Of improved roads.
With 100000 miles of roads to surface
and maintain it is rot surprising that ordinary
dirt highways are still to be found in this coun-
try. There is more cause for wonder in the
fact that here one may motor thousands of
miles on hard-surface roads and that virtually
all of the fo-ty-eight states are bound together
by improved highways.
Americas federal highway system of 1872
1874 miles, of which 69,334 is completed and
2.469 miles under construction, is larger than
the entire highway systems Of some other ma
tions, but federal roads fern only a small
fraction of the highway system Of the United
States
Few nations have national budgets as large
as the sum expended for highway improve
ments in this country each year by national,
state, county and municipal governments.
Tremendous as the national debt is it does not
represent the cost of completing even the pr,-
mary and secondary highway systems Of the
several states.

Maybe this is too bad and maybe it isn't; at
any rate that is the way of it, and the sooner
we realize it the better for us.
When America adopted mass production 1t
started out on an entirely new tack in civilza-
ton. Never before did any nation set out tu
live by the machine. We have started on a
path from which we could not turn back if we
would; why not wake up to that fact and stop
thinking in terms of 1880?
Upon what does our future chiefly depend
Like it or not, it depends chiefly on that magic
word - prosperity. If our nation is to be
healthy and happy its factory chimneys must
be belching smoke. You can laugh at Babbitt
if you will, you can lament Standardization"
and factory civilization" until you are out of
breath, but you can't change that fact. It
were best to face it.
No one knows what the future holds. 1t GER
tainly will be unlike anything that has gone
before. And are there not indications that it
will be more dazzling, more splendid, as we'll?
We are being freed in way our forefathers
never imagined; freed from toll, from poverty.
from hunger, from the limitations of time and
space. Presently we shall be free enough so
that each man, from the highest to the lowest,
can begin to develop his boundless human po.
tentialites.
We are at the dawnng of new era. There
is no need for lamentation.

SEARCHES. IODINE AND CoIrRE


There are many forms of thyroid
arrangement, but the two common
types are called Simple goitre" and
"exophthalmic goitrc.v The simple
goitre is the one which is more
easily diagnosed, as the gland en-
larges SO much that even the layman
can recognize this trouble by the
enlargement seen at the front Of the
neck. The neck often becomes twice
as large as the normal, and in some
Of the mountainous districts Of
Europe the enlargement of the thy
roid is SO great that it looks like
large sack hanging from the neck.
Goitres arc more frequently found
with women than with men, the pro-
portion being about eight to one.
Usually the only unpleasant symp-
toms from simple goitre are those
due to pressure from the enlarge.
ment. This may cause the trachea
or esophagus to become flattened,
which may interfere with breathing
or swallowing. Sometimes the pres
sure upon the vagus nerve produces
cardiac symptoms, such as rapid
pulse.
There are unquestionably "goitre
belts" or locations where this simple
form of goitre is more prevalent.
Many have thought that the large
amount of alkali in the water in
L.ountainous sections is responsible
for the large amount Of goitre found
in these districts. The seashore
seems to be the one place where
there is the least amount of simple
goitre compared with other places,
such as the midlands and mountains.
1t has been found that iodone is
an important element necessary to
the normal functioning Of the thy
roid gland. The proper amount of
iodine is found to be lacking in all
forms Of simple goitre. In my
opinion, this is ordinarily not because
the patient does not use enough foods
containing iodine, but because he
does use too many other foods which
either destroy or interfere with the
action of the iodine in the thyroid.
Those living at the seashore use
large amounts of foods, such as
shell fish, which contain a great
deal of iodine, and do not use so
many Of the starches which are
used by the people living in the in
terror countries and in mountainous
places.
hold that the ovcr-comsumption
Of carbohydrates is the one impor-
tant cause of both the simple and
exophthalmic goitres. The addition
al use of drinking water containing
large amounts of alkalies appears
to also have certain effect in stop
ping up or interfering with the nor
NAL action of the thyroid gland.
The treatment which is usually
given to cases Of simple goitre de-
ponds upon the administration of
iodine either internally or by paint
ing iodine over the front Of the
neck. If this treatment is given
carefully, it will usually bring about
marked changes at once in a reduc-
ton in the size Of the gland. In
ternal. medication with inorganic
iron compounds will also Temporarily

Washington, Feb. 2O.-There are
few men in public life quite SO dry
as the Hon. Clifford Pinchot, re-
Gently governor Of Pennsylvania.
Yet in Pinchot's magnificent
library your correspondent observed
q copy of the Agricultural Year
Book for 1904. Pinchot has SO many
books-including large number on
agriculture-that one should not be
surprised to find anything at all
among them, but. Every congress
sional secretary on Capitol Hill
knows the 1904 year book.
1t was in that year that the De-
partment of Agriculture undertook
to explain just how one should
manufacture wines, brandies and
champagnes. Demand for the vol
ume still continues and congress-
men get many requests for the in
formation contained, which is why
most offices have a copy on hand.
One of the safest bets on earth is
that that isn't why Pinchot keeps
it. Incidentally, Pinchot, for all his
uncompromising attitude on pro-
hibition, probably has as many
wet" friends who admire him for
his other phases as anyone we can
think of.
Scads of money are sometimes
spent to win senatorial toga, but
no senator was ever seen to wear
one Of the things except in certain
fool cartoons. There are, however.
other privileges that go with the
job. In the Capitol and at the SEN
ate Office Building, when a senator
enters an elevator the car goes to
his floor regardless of who else may
be inside or where who else may
want to go.
An ordinary gent may be riding
up to the fourth floor and if a sem
ator gets on at the third he goes
back down where he started. With
enough senatorial traffic and enough
bad luck, it is conceivable that an
ordinary being might ride for half
an hour in a Senate elevator with
out being able to get off at his
floor.
Your correspondent takes this
opportunity to make graceful &C.
acknowledgement to the few senators
who waive this privilege and try
not to ride anyone around needless

the Capitol Theatre Tuesday.
When Miss Talmadge first played
"KIKI," she received a letter from
Belasco which read:

ization of 'Kiki' at the Capitol

something worth while; everything
you do is; but in 'Kiki' you give
performance that is superb.
"Please accept congratulations on
a delightful characterization.
with regards and admiration,

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 2O.-Those beauty
parlors for dogs and cats that dot
the side streets off Fifth Avenue
and Broadway, seem to be taking
this extraordinary occupation SER
iously.
When the notion first dawned to
turn a good old-fashioned dog biscuit
emp ium into a beauty shop for
'poms" and such, Haven doubt that
tt proprietor put his tongue in his
cheek and chuckled loudly. He does
not laugh any more. He wakes
wealthy off the fees charged fat
dowagers who 60 about leading some
tiny toy of an animal.
And so, in the late Forties, there
now appears a sign in a window
telling the world that here your
pet purp can be marcel-waved, or
curled or otherwise beautified in a
manner befitting a blooded hound.
CHANGING into the window, you can
see the beutifiers busy at work from
morning to night. And, contemplat-
ing this scene, perhaps you will
wonder-even as l did-what the
world is coming to.
No city in the world pays such
attention to it's pets. There ar in
Vulnerable bird stores and bird doc
tors. There are just as many hos
pitfalls for dogs and cats, where the
f---s are quite in proportion to those
charged an average human. There
are several charity hospitals for
dumb animals.
The Ellin Prince Speyer hospi-
tai does not discriminate. It's pa
tients, I am told, include monkeys,
canaries, goats and parrots. Last
year some $4,000 assorted animals
were treated there.
There is even q ''home for stray
dogs and cats" where, if the owner
fails to appear, new homes are found.
Each year wandering purps and
kittens to the nmber Of. several
thousand are given homes.
Nor are the old plodding horses
forgotten! With gas filling stations
cluttering up every other corner in
the interest Of the passing automo-
bile, some were inclined to forget
that horses get thirsty now and then
and that hot New York days are q
bi.. hard on the old plodders. Horse
troughs became fewer and fewer.
There are but half dozen-or per-
haps less-left in all New York.
So someone started "horse-water-
ing" fund, to provide pals and
trCughs. Last ear 100000 was
spent on the task of getting water
for tired and thirsty horses. But
then, it's a big city!
