Savings Seen In Shorter
Trunk Line Roads
Iowa Economist Figures $4,000
Could Be Profitably Spent to
Save One Mile

Where a highway carries 1000
cars day, or 365,00 tons of traf-
fic in a year, each foot of distance
saved will justify an expenditure
of at least $50 for road shortening,
according to T. r. Agg, professor
of economics at the Iowa State Col
lege. 1t would be economy, &C
cording to Prof. Agg, to spend
$4,000 to shorten such a road
one mile. This is the saving thru
the shorter distance alone, to saw
nothing of the saving thru the i'm
proved road surface.
It is seldom however, that it
costs very much to relocate and
shorten a road. The Minnesota
Highway department has found
that it often costs less to buy new
right of way and grade an entire
ly new short route than to i'm
prove an old, partly graded road
which is somewhat longer. This is
especially true where the road is to
be paved. Shortening the distance
between two points will often save
enough in paving to pay for sever
al miles of new grade and right of
way.
Where railroad grade crossings
and other hazards can be eliminat-
ed there is still further incentive to
seek a new location before roaf
is improved.
Since the trunk routes in Mime
sofa are determined by constitu-
tional amendment they cannot be
moved after they are once perma-
nently located and improved. For
this reason also the department
aims to get the shortest and best
route before making permanent To-
cations.

SPECIAL BODY FOR
DRY Law INQUIRY
Hoover Agrees to Select Com
mittee After Inauguration
Conference With Edge
NO COURT PROCEDURE
Efficacy of the Much Dis
cussed VOlstead Act Will
Be Investigated

Washington, Jan. 16-President-
elect Herbert Hoover will appoint
special commission soon after
March a to investigate prohibition
and general law violations as well
as court procedure and to make
recommendations looking to i'm
provement of the whole situation.
This developed today after a
conference between Mr.. Hoover
and Senators Wesley Jones, of
Washington and Walter E. Edge,
of New Jersey, respective leaders
of the senate dry and wet forces,
who advised the next president of
their decision to abandon their re.
solutions to authorize a prohibition
inquiry.
The senators said Mr.. Hoover
agreed with them legislation is un-
necessary at this time and that all
required in any event will be a
measure appropriating money for
the expenses of the commission
This will be offered at the special
session of the new congress to be
called in the early spring.
The Jones resolution would have
ordered a congressional inquiry,
while that by Senator Edge would
have directed the President to ap-
point commission to conduct the
investigation.
Enforcement conditions will be
the fundamental basis of the pres
idential commissions inquiry, but
the president-elect has said the
investigation should extend to the
Volstead law itself so as to deter
mine whether alleged abuses in en-
forcement are inherent in the act
Whether disregard of the dry
law in some sections is hurting the
observance of other laws would be
another concern of the commits
sion, as would be necessary fol
setting up additional court machin
cry to take care of dry law viola
tons and relieve existing conges
ton. Mr.. Hoover said in hi!
campaign that general reforms il
court procedure are desirable, bu
it is not clear that the special com
mission would go into that sub
ject Immediately, as it is recogniz
ed that this field is one which woulc
require years of study before com
prehensive recommendations fol
consideration of congress could be
formulated.

Heavy Receipts Responsible
for Butter Price Decline
Egg Production Keeps Up in Spite
of Cold Weather-Good Poul-
try Demand

Eastern butter markets for last
week have been easier and quota
tons have declined noticeably. The
actual receipts of butter on the
larger markets such as Chicago,
New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia, were heavier than the week
previous. Buying has been exceed
ingly cautious and only on the
basis of supplying immediate re-
quirements.
Chicago butter market today on
80 score standards is 451a cents,
decline as compared with last
Monday of / Il cents. New York
90 score extras are AT cents to-
day representing a decline of two
cents as compared with a week
ago.
Fresh egg production is increas-
ing even in the face of the general
cold weather which has been exist
ing throughout the Central West
for the week just past. The egg
market at this season of the year
is affected directly by weather be-
cause of the effect that cold or UNI
favorable weather can have direct
ly upon the production and supply
of eggs available for current con-
sumption.
Chicago egg market today on
firsts is 331s to "a cents, while
last Monday the quotation was 35
to 361a cents.
Live poultry receipts on the
Eastern markets are falling off
noticeably. The same is true of the
volume of poultry being marketed
in the Central West. There has
been good buying demand which,
coupled with lighter receipts, has
brought about higher markets.

Razing of Babylon Not
Completed by Darius

Babylon was never entirely de-
stroyed after the time of the con.
quest by Darius. described in the
Book of Daniel. That conquest took
place in the year 521 B. O., but ex.
cept that part of the walls was razed
during rebellion in 514, Darius did
not destroy Systematically. His son
Xerxes, destroyed part of the great
temple of Bel, or Baal, called E
Sagilla. which was also a fortress.
The religion of Darius, however. was
monotheistic zoroastrianism and be-
cause of this many temples fell into
disrepair About 312 B. c. a dynasty
arose called the Selencids, founded
by general of Alexander the Great.
He conquered Babylon in 323. When
the SeIeucids founded the new capital
Seaeucis near Babylon they used the
ancient city as quarry and there is
record that in 275 B. G. all the in
hahitants of Babylon were transported
to the new town, though it is known
that religious services were still held
in the old temple of Bel a century
