IOWA PAVES SIX
NILES EVERY
DAY
BY e. E. DUFFY

Evidence is to be found on every
hand that the road problem is
being solved. The Iowa State high.
way commission has just announced
that road builders in that state
have been wiping out dirt roads
at the rate of six miles q day.
With 600 miles of first. class pave
ment completed by August 81. it is
believed that Iowa will have added
IA total Of 700 or more miles Of
pavements to the primary system
when the current road building
season is finished. This will exceed
nient by 375 miles. Iowa dirt and
mud, so say the citizens, will in
the future raise corn instead Of
cain.
Better Iowa Record
Ali States are not eliminating
dirt roads at the rate of six miles
day. and but few are at present
eQualing or bettering Iowa's prog
reses. A number of States with re.
sources equal or superior to those
Of Iowa are accomplishing far less
in a road-building way. However,
changes and improvements in
methods of road financing and
planning are being instituted that
bid fair to bring Implications of
the spirit of Iowa.
The leavily-traveled dirt and
gravel roads must go for they con-
stitute about the most expensive
non-luxury gnawing at the taxpayer
motorists pocketbook.
A traffic of 500 vehicles day
according to N. M. Isabella, Wiscon-
sin maintenance engineer, viii wear
away at least an inch Of gravel in
the course of a year. The yearly
loss per mile Of 1S-foot gravel road
is 400 cubic yards of material.
brings the total yearly loss to no
less than $500 a mile.
Figures. Run High
The maintenance cost of inferior
highways often runs much higher
than this figure. Consequently the
placement Of hard pavements elimi-
mates fixed lostmaterial charge,
which is replaced by an almost
negligible surface repair charge.
Iowa reports that in 1927, $40 miles
OF hard pavement on the primary
road system were maintained at an
average per mile cost of only S247.
Such facts as these are giving
the motoring world, which includes
just about everybody in one way or
another, the stimulus to demand
roads OF greater utility, dependable
ity and economy.

1t Is said that the motor show
which Is held annually has never
before aroused such fevor Of
enthusiasm for auto buying among
every class of the community.
Sales already made at the show
have broken all records.
At the present time there are
over 1,2O5,990 autos In Britain, and
IL the estimated increase material
ICES, as every important sales man
ager predicts, this number viii be
increased by about 150, 600 or proba-
bly, another 900 within the next
IL months.
Clergy Now Auto Owners
According to the views Of John
Leslie, sales manager Of one Of
the largest manufacturing COM
panies iii this country. quite 80 per
cent OF this increase would be met
by autos OF American manufacture,
he admitted to a luncheon Of auto
manufacturers held at the savoy
Hotel this week.
England now has the fastest
growing auto sales Of any other
country In the world outside the
United States" he said.
This increase il due to the auto
mobile consciousness Of the classes
with moderate means-the $1,000 10
$500 a year man-who hitherto
has not even mentally envisaged
the possession OF q car. Now even
the notoriously underpaid English
clergyman has been going to the
motor show with the idea Of buy
ing a car.
"MOst Helpful Industry"
"The gravest problem that has
to be faced, said Mr.. Leslie, is
that as the worlds demand for
autos will undoubtedly increase from
year to year until the time Is
reached when practically every man
in the world possesses car-whici1
Is not actually SO very distant-is
that a means must also be found
for keeping up the supply Of those
essentials that go to the making Of
an auto.
There are several such essen
tials which. as far as we know, may
not last indefinitely.
"AutomobiIe manufacturing con-
fers more widespread benefit than
any other Industry" said Mr.. Leslie.
I'm fact, there II hardly q person
today who does not benefit directly
from every automobile made.
England especially. In her pro-
duction OF raw materials, is prob
ably the greatest beneficiary. Take
the case of tin alone. for instance.
six pounds Of tin go to the making
of every automobile, and it follows,
therefore, that tie anticipated in
crease in the United Kingdom alone

BY GRIFFIN NEWS BUREAU) Special Correspondence to The Putnam Patriotl

Washington, D. C., June 26,--Resi- dents of Connecticut will probably be asked in the near future to go on record as favoring or opposing q change in the prohibition law in re- ply to a auestionnaire sent out from Washington by the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment. t Recently the association conducted a survey of the State of Delaware and received reactions from almost half of the voters of the state. Of the 37. .337 Delaware citizens who an- swered the questionnaire sent out by the Association. 312.9l5 favored a ! change of the present srohibition law and only 4.422 believed the sta ute should remain as it is now writ ' ten.
 1 Henry II. Curran. president of the Association who has just returned from Kansas City, Is SO pleased with the. results of the Delaware poll that he feels the voters of Connecticut and the other states of the nation should be given the privilege to simi- larly express their sentiments. He is of the opinion that such vote in Connecticut would reveal that the citizens of the state are opposed to the prohibition amendment as it is now written and enforced.
 Mir. Curran has named no definite date for the survey of the state, but the Association Is now working upon plan to definitely sound out public opinion of the entire nation.
 School Enrollment Decrease
 Despite the increased educational facilities of Connecticut, the percent age of the total population of the state enrolled in public schools has decreased by eight persons per i,000 population since 1S70-71, according to the figures of survey recently completed by the bureau of eduea- tion.
 The figures made public by the bureau reveal that during the school year of 1S70-7i. an average of EOS persons per LOGO population of the state were enrolled in public schools. In the year of 1925-26, only 200 per. sons per LOGO residents attended the public schools, a decrease of almost four per cent.
 The year of ls70-7l saw the peak of the percentage of the population enrolled in public schools. By 1879 the percentage had fallen to 192 per sons per 1000 population, and this decrease continued until 1899 when the percentage averaged ITO persons per .000
 Following this year, an increase in the percentage population enrolled became apparent, increasing to 173 in 1909. to is9 in 1919 and to 200 in 1925-26.
 No figures more recent than those for 1925-26 are available at the bu- reau of education.
