The American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton has prepared plan that offers
valuable suggestions to localities seek
ing to place their present muddy, semi
impossible farm roads with year"
round, improved secondary highways.
First, road committee must be
formed. The committee must study
local problems. consider population
and location OF farms, agricultural pro-
duction and the distance to the mark
citing or shipping point and other such
factors. Then, by working with the
county engineer, the state highway
eengineer, or the United States Bureau
OF Roads, It can plan serviceable and
economical highway system for its
locality.
The type of road surface to be used
varies with local conditions and ma
terials available. Grading and drain
ing are practically the same for any
type Of improved surface. IN many
parts Of the country 1t has been found
that one form or another of asphalt or
oil gives satisfactory results in provid-
ing q low cost waterproof surface for
secondary roads.
There has been too much hit-and-
miss and political" road building, re-
sulting in waste, Farming areas can be
given good roads In reasonable length
of time II the problem is scientifically
studied and worked out along practical
lines.

Editorial Comment
Age Holds It's Own
tst. Paul Dispatch)

Another popular belief has been broken to bits and the
pieces scattered to the four winds. It is that industry
will not employ the older men. but insists on the great
er vigor. energy and driving power Of youth. The Massa-
chusetts Department Of Labor and Industries decided to
find out whether there was anything In this belief.
Far from discriminating against the more mature
workers. industry actually favoes them. In an analysis
that men from the ace of IS to s. were more essNy plac-
ed In jobs than those In any other age group. It Is true
that men between the ages Of IS and "a find 1t increas-
ingly difficult to Get employment and that after 65 1t Is
even more difficult. But 1t Is surprising to find that the
group which Is actually preferred above all others by en-
ployers Is the one from IS to 81.
Apparently popular notions about the age ct which
earning power begins to decline. and the economic value
Of workers to fall Oft. must be revised upwards. No
doubt there are good and sufficient reasons for the pre-
ference which the Massachusetts, investigators have dis
covered. The younger man may have the advantage In
sheer physical energy. but this is more than Offset BY

Why Japan Wants Battleships

Why Japan Wants Battleships
There are a lot OF angles to the London naval confer
cnce that arc a bit complicated.
There is. for instance. the proposal to abolish battle
ships. Japan objects to this; and until you look into the
matter you may find the japanese objection hard to UNI
derstand. There is a simple explanation. however
which makes the japanese position quite logical.
The explanation is this: Neither Britain nor the Uni.
ted States possesses a naval base in the Far East big
enough to serve dreadnaughts. AS a result, Japan knows
that neither nation could ever force a big naval en-.
gagement in Japanese waters. Japan, in consequence, is
secure from attack.
But if all battleships we're abolished. the l000o-ton
cruiser would be the line ship: and the British
base at Hongkong and the American base at Manila arc
amply large enough for ships Of this class. Under those
circumstances, either nation could launch a naval at
tack OH Japan from a point close to Japanese waters.
Japan, therefore. wants to retain the battleship. Her
position is not hard to understand.

A Look Into City Evolution

BY 1880 there will be two races, aristocrats and ground
ings. i%nhabiting New York.
The aristocrats will live 40 stories and more above the
ground and will never come down to earth. literally or
tiguratively. The groundlings, on the other hand. will
do the work OF the world and will live in tunnels and
crypts below ground, never getting a peek at the sun.
All of this is the prediction of DR.. John Dewey, CO.
lunbia Univcrsity's famous philosopher. who believes
that the s~xyscraper is going to revolutionizc society. The
sky-dwclling aristocrats, he says, will develop a religion
based on sun-worship, because of their proximity to the
sun; the groundlings will invent a religion related to the
ancient conception OF Hades.
This is an interesting picture, even II slightly dizzy.
DR.. Dewey is known as a sober and weighty thinker. But
on this occasion one is compelled to remark that he has
been INDUCING in a gaudy pipe dream.
Besides, it is not a new pipe dream. H. G.. Wells
painted the same picture upwards Of 20 years ago in his
imaginative novel. THE Time Machine" To date we
do not seem to have progressed any nearer to it, and
with all the respect in the world to DR.. Dewey 1t seems
rather obvious that the tide is beginning TO set In the
other direction.
Skyscrapers are going up rapidly, even where they are
not needed: but for every skyscrapcr that is erected,
three new subdivisions are plotted on the outskirts.
These magnificent towers of steel are lovely to look at
at least some Of them are-but they have not yet Grad
icated the average mans desire to have a place to him
SELF close to the earth, with room for a tiny garden and
a bit OF lawn. and they never will: for that desire goes
down to the roots OF being, and Is a very hard thing
to down permanently.
II DR.. Dewey's prediction comes true 1t will simply be
because the human race. as a whole, is a great deal
dumber than even its severest critics have suspected.
For We arc just beginning to get into our hands the
weapons with which we can make our cities into decent
places to live In.
The automobile, the electric train, the express highway
and the ah~plane-these are the things with which we
enable n,rce1vec IN 1ivo for mt nn tho odUn ~ tina
city in which we work. II we don't take advantage of
them We deserve the fate that Dr.. Dewey has outlined
for lis.
For the city, when all Is said and done. is a poor sort
of place to live: and the eo-story apartment house is the
worst that the city has to offer. The poorest suburb,
with its untidy streets. its ~unsightly ~jerry-built houses
and its microscopic lawns, Is a better proposition.
