states, which needed to be traversed

states, which needed to be traversed by motorists from other states.
 The record of such Governmental appears trifling compared with the large sums expended by the states and local governments. Federal ex- penditure for highway purposes un- der this law is Jess than s1o0,Ooo,- 900 annually; and late in 1929 feder- al funds had been provided for only 91,556 miles; but only about 50 per cent of this mileage had been given hard-surface paving. In other words, a little more than 5o,00b miles of "government-aided high way" is hard surfaced
 Compare this with S26.000 miles Of surfaced roads in the country as a whole.
 The country apparently has not relied upon Government aid in high way building to any extent.
 Incidentally Mir. Coolidge when President strongly objected to the federaA aid plan; but President Hoover is unstintingly in favor Of it. saving it has been beneficial and stimulating"
 Perhaps the stimulation" has been to induce the states to con- struct and pay for their own high ways; and since the states have dis covered The gasoline tax to assist in obtaining the funds. the outlook is for less and less reliance upon the Government to aid in the construc- ton Of roads.
 Now the country dirt roads are to obtain more attention. The move- ment inaugurated in Connecticut Is Of piece with similar movements inauguraIed elsew here.
 For after all. the improved s26,- 000 miles in the United States are only a part of the total highway mileage Of 3,0OO.Oo0 miles; and 1t must be remembered that the term improved oad' does not always mean a ard-surfaced road.
 Many roads could be improved were the costs Of construction less. Connecticut has the highest ~~sts per mile in New England. It is time 10 put them down with the ex- penditure Of less money.

 Bleak drab days have always had charm for me. Consequently the fogs of London are a constant de- light. They have way of rolling ul softly from a gentle mist into a deep, fugitive and mysterious den- sity. The whole city seems to hang magically in a leaden sky. All that i3 harsh in it's architecture is oblit- erated. There is indefinable beauly lnd romance in the wraith-liie blobs or street lights l always look tor adventure in a fog.
