NEW INVENTION
 TO SAVE FRUIT

Rome. (UP)-Italian engineers ara nearly ready to announce an Invention which will make useless all the expensive refrigerator freight trains now used for the transportation of frseh fruit and delicate flowers.
 The iced cars will be replaced bv simple dramatically sealed cars into which a special maroon gas Is sprayed. The gas keeps fresh fruit fresh and preserves the per fume of costly flowers during long distance shipment.
 According to information now available, the engineers. who are finishing their experiments In the rich fruit region of Iiguria. nave found a gaseous derivitive Of car bon which can be solidified under pressure. :.
 Blocks of this substance placed in a hermetically sealed car loaded with any perishable product slow ly give off & certain amount of gas which completely preserves and refreshens the fruit or flowers. At the same time the gas disin- fects the air and lowers the tenn perature considerably.
 The advantage of the discovery, according to agricultural experts, Is that 1t allows farmers to pick their fruit or flowers mature and ship them long distances without fear of their spelling or willing before arrival. Under the present arrangement with refrlgerating cars the fruit or flowers must be picked and shipped before ripe ana allowed to ripen or bloom during transit.

 London. (UP)--A robust. nation, whose great fleet of ships carried home products into every land. Banks bulging by smoke from giant plants. Happy workmen and happy homes.
 This, briefly, was the 18th Gen. tury Great Britain. To-day, thou sands of ships are tied-up, never again to sail the Seven Seas. Wisps of smoke come from factories op- erating only part-time and with small staffs.
 Thousands of unemployed wan der aimlessly about the streets, drawing their weekly "dole," losing the will to work even if it were available. In a park near Buck ingham Palace, where the king and queen reside, they lie sprawled on the grass, unmindful of . chilly wind, or occasional light shower.
 Dole, Their Income
 Many have been 'on the dole" for years. since they emerged from school as youths. Couples are married Ion the dole" and trunks use it to pay fines in court. Sev- eral small villages. whose people depended upon the mines for a livelihood, have been evacuated, shops closed and houses razed.
 Along the Thames embankment pitiful hulks of manhood huddle together at night and face each new day with despair. They are not tramps. Some are well educ cated. others trained craftsmen, and some are ex-service men.
 Nearby bright lights gleam from the windows of an exclusive hotel. Limousines unload beautiful wo- men, glittering with( jewels. and well groomed men. But their purse is more slender than before the war and their spending less free.
 Five Big Industries
 Since 1920 Britain has not made sufficient industrial recovery to employ the whole of her increasing population. Unemployment lies principally In the five chief export industries; textile, coal, iron and steel, engineering, and shipbuild- ing, which bore the greater part of the burden of dehation which ac- companied the return to a gold standard.
 The subsequent widening of the | I'll 1. i,,f< rnl l extenal value of the pound ster- ling at a time when competitors on the continent were enjoying the benefits of imitation, intensified the seriousness of the problem 1 confronting British industry
 Another difficulty lay in the in- debtedness a majority of the basic industrial firms widowed in fol- lowing the collapse of prices in 1920. They were overloaded with huge stocks of raw materials and were forced ot seek assistance from the banks. In addition, an other burden was added from re- valuation of plants at boom prices and consequent OvercapitalizatiOn.

ROADS FOR EVERYBODY

One of the big farm prob
lens is the lack of year-round,
weathefproof roads, affording
quick and economical trans
portation, at all times, to and
from markets.
Less than 100000 American
farms are situated on roads
disable every day in the year.
Two and threequarter million
are on unimproved dirt roads,
which become a series of mud
holes in the winter, and about
100000 are on roads where
but little improvement has
been made. All in all, it is
stated on the authority of the
American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON, less than five per cent
of the farmers of the country
have access to roads that they
can rely on using any and
every day, irrespective of
weather and seasonal con-
ditions.
High-type main highways
cost in the neighborhood of
forty thousand dollars per
mile. But modern develop
ments have produced bitumi-
nous materials that now make
it possible to build good secon-
dairy roads for $4,000 a mile,
an eighth or less of the cost of
hard pavement. Upkeep cost
is likewise extremely low, and
economy is further advanced
by the fact that each road may
be adapted to the characteris-
tics of local soils and mater
ials used for bases.
Such roads, of course, are
not suitable for extremely
heavy traffic. But new sur
face can be laid on as traffic
increases, something of an in
stallment buying basis for
highways. In this way al
most every rural area can be
adequately provided with
weatherproof feeder roads
without going in for heavy
bond issues or materially in
creasing the tax burden.

ROADS FOR FARM RELIEF

Since 1915 the number of automo
biles in use in this country has in
creased at the rate of 100000 a
year. It is estimated that 21,0OO,-
600 cars are now in operation. Vast
sums have been spent for road
building, with the result that fast,
well paved highways carry us from
city to city, from State to State.
The average city dweller thinks
that the United States is adequately
provided with good roads.
AS matter of fact, however, only
an infinitesimal fraction of roads in
use have been extensively improved.
Five million farmers, according to
an authoritative survey, are cut off
from their markets during a part OF
each year by impossible roads.
Good roads that keep the farmer
in contact with his markets at all
times and allow him to transport
goods quickly and economically, are
an essential factor giving agriculture
a sound economic foundation.
