NATIONS Diet
is CHANGED BY
BETTER ROADS
Benefit Which Few People
Realize Is Attained by
Hard Highways.

BIZ Times SDecidl
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2. The
period of phenomenal progress in
good road building throughout the
United States, which has marked
the past ten years, has worked an
unanticipated and extremely bene-
fetal change in American diet. For
every mile of improved highway laid
| down, some farmer has added to his
! production of wholesome green
vegetables, readily marketable in the
nearest city.
This is the odd and interesting
point brought out by Earle Duffy,
writer in the current issue of The
Farm Journal, who points out that
good roads are quite as essential to
the modern farmer as his agricul-
tural machinery itself.
In North Carolina, for example,
this amazing change has come about
since the passage of the first $780,
100000 state bond issue for good
roads in 1921" he points out.
Farms where nothing but tobacco
was grown for decades now are
green with truck crops of all kinds.
Dairying, too, has sprung into PROM
inence, for it has become an easy
matter to ship dairy products to
market by truck"
The same change has been
wrought by good roads throughout
the country, it is shown. Farmers
who once depended almost entirely
upon one staple crop-corn, cotton,
tobacco, wheat-are going in widely
for vegetables and fruits which
would have been too perishable to
be grown prof1tably under old
transportation conditions. Now, be-
cause these commodities can be
whisked to market within few
hours, city residents are demanding
and receiving q more varied and
constantly increasing green diet.
Although the total of surface
road construction in the country
has been phenomenal in recent
years, there still is much to be done.
Oh 2ol ,UOU miles or state highways
in the United States, approximately
10000 miles now are surfaced, leav-
ing $4,000 miles to be improved. But
the gaps are being filled rapidly,
The Farm Journal writer points
out.
Iowa, for example, is at work on a
500 100000 road program which will
mean a paved network covering the
state. North Carolina, since it made
its first forward step in 1921, has
expended $115,0O0,O00 on system
of $500 miles of paved roadways.
Other states are rapidly filling up
their unpaved gaps.
Farmers who few years ago OPP
posed road improvements or were
dubious concerning their advan-
tages, now are conceding that paved
highways are essential to farm sue
cess.

MOVIE DEATH
MYSTERY KEY
INLAW HANDS
Definite Moves Are Made
Toward Solution of
Taylor Murder.
By FRANK III. BARTHOLOMEW
United Press StaT Correspondent


SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. a.
Definite moves toward solution of
them urder Of william Desmond
the murder of william Desmond
famous movie colony tragedy by
Friend w. Richardson, former Gov
ernor of California, were expected to
start in Los Angeles today.
Identity of the two mysterious key
witnesses referred to in a sensation
al statement by Richardson Tuesday
was learned by the United Press
from Thomas H. Cannon, examiner
for the state railroad commission.
The men are George Heffner, alias
William Nelson, and Edward Sands.
Steps will be taken to locate Heff-
ner, who in turn, it is hoped, can
reach Sands. The latter is believed
to be in Mexico.
Richardson's written statement to
the United Press asserted that at
time he was Governor, Heffner, a
"two-time loser" as Folsom peni-
Tertiary, sent word that he had
valuable frst-hand evidence in
connection with the Taylor STAY
ing.
Narcotic Ring Involved
Heffner's deposition indicated
that the Hollywood tragedy of
1922 took place against the back
ground of the operation Of a mar
cotic ring. with which Heffner and
Sands assertedly we're connected. It
vas inferred that the actual Shoot
ing was done by a woman.
Neither Heffner nor Sands was
mentioned by name by Richardson,
but the United Press established
sheir identity through Cannon, who
at the time was a member of the
prison board.
The Richardson statement said he
presented Heffners information to
individual members of the Los An
geles grand jury secretly. The jury
men advised him, he said, that Dis
trict Attorney Asa Keyes was in
league with powerful interests"
seeking to protect the slayer of Tay-
lor and that the only result of the
formal consideration of Heffner's
testimony would be to endanger the
convict's life.
Subsequently, the statement con-
tinued. Heffner was pardoned when
the news that he was willing to
squat leaked out and placed him
in actual danger of assassination.
Sands VIII Return
One statement in Heffner's depo-
sition was that Sands, former valet
to Taylor, had fled to Vera Cruz,
and was willing to return and give
his first person evidence if assured
of personal safety.
Joseph Vickers, secretary to Rich
ardson when the latter was Cover
nor, will confer with District At
torney Buron Fits in Los Angeles
today in connection with the new
evidence, Richardson telegraphed
Vickers last night.
