A Good Roads Victory

Those living secondary roads and others who
compelled to travel these roads will be glad to know that
the National House has passed amendment to the
Hayden Cartwright road which provides for a
section of Rural Roads in the Bureau of Public Roads
The amendment introduced and engineered
through the House by Congressman Robert Secrest of
Ohio who has long been a champion of good roads He
co-auhor of the BostwckSecrest gas tax measure
sponsored by Mr. Secrest and State Representative R.
Bostwick when he in the Ohio Legislature.
Those who interested in the measure are now
writing their Senators to make that the Secres
amendment is left intact when the up for
a vote in the Senate The is known as S-42l3
The Hayden Cartwright provides for $25-
100000 for rural roads in 1885, and S25OOOOO0 in 1899
The Secrest amendment would permit the newly
created Section of Rural Roads to concentrate all their
time on the nations pressing rural secondary road

FLYING
infancy

While Americans are establishing
commercial air transportation across
the Pacific, and the Germans are run
ming their big dirigibles across the At
lantic, word comes that England Is
building huge airplanes for trans-At-
lantic flights. These new Empire type"
planes of Imperial Airways will be
bigger and faster than the China
Clipper" type of Pan-American Air
ways.
Already England is operating inter-
national airplane routes over large
part of the Eastern Hemisphere. The
Dutch are a pretty close second, how
ever. l had occasion not long ago to
send a letter to a friend in Singapore,
and learned from the New York Post
Office that the quickest route was to
send it by steamship to Amsterdam,
whence one of the Dutch planes flying
to Java would take it quicker than if
sent it by way of London and the
English airrnail routes.
Flying is still in its very early in
fancy 1t is getting safer and easier all
the time.
WINDMILL -. slow
The safest flying machine so far de-
veloped is the autogiro, which looks
like a horizontal windmill. 1t can rise
out of an ordinary backyard and needs
no more space than baseball diamond
to land in 1t can only fly about 60
miles an hour, however, which is pref
ty slow for air travel these days.
The newest Improvement, now be-
ing tried out, in aircraft, is combin-
alton of biplane and autogiro. The up
per plane can be shifted from its fly
ing position into a windmill" of the
autogiro type, for rising and landing
or in case of emergency, while as a
biplane a speed of upwards of lbs
miles an hour is expected.
SAFETY ... prizes
The latest organized effort to make
motoring safer is the establishment by
the Commercial Investment Trust of a
fund of $3.50, 900 to be used for educa-
tional efforts for better driving and
safer roads The c. l. T. is interested
because it is the largest institution en-
gagged in financing time payments on
automobiles.
A long list of annual prizes and
awards is announced for individuals
and organizations doing the best work
for the promotion of highway safety

PNEUMONIA AND PLEURISY

Counter irritants are agents which
produce temporary irritation in anoth-
er area than the infected part They
are seldom used any more, yet they
are worth bit of study, because Of
the good they may do in an emergen-
cy.
Counter-irritants in common use in
the household may be named as, pep

and the like We base the use of these
things on our knowledge of infection
and inflammation beneath the surface.

going to get S. 900 for making the most
useful contribution during the year to
arouse the public TO aid in cutting
down traffic accidents.
| hope that the committee in charge
of this extremely useful and humani-
tartan campaign directs some of its at
tention toward uniform license laws
for cars and drivers, uniform traffic
signals and rules, and the penalizing of
every driver who takes to the road
with defective brakes or steering gear.
Giving a few thousand drunken driv-
ers long jail terms might help, too.
It's an old saying that no law is any
good without a sheriff. We will never
have real highway safety until we
have more policemen patrolling the
highways.
RELIEF church plan
The Mormon Church, which is one
of the best organized religious bodies
in the world, has set an example which
it seems to me that other churches
might do well to follow. 1t has adopted
a plan by which every member of the
church will contribute one-tenth Of
his income and, in addition, the cost of
two of the meals that he does not eat
on the monthly fast day, to fund to
provide for every member of the sect
who is in need.
That is getting right back to what
seem to me the fundamental principles
of Christianity The early church was
an actual brotherhood, in which all the
members felt it their duty to see
that none of the members suf-
fered want or privation. The churches
of America could solve the relief prob
lem by themselves if they were willing
to put those principles of Christian
brotherhood into practical application
RESPONSIBILITY -. ours
DR.. Arthur H. Compton, world-fam-
Gus physicist, declared the other day
his belief in universal God as the
original Creator, but added that God
in his belief, passed the responsibility
for social evolution on to man with the
dawn of social consciousness, some a.
600 years ago.
It seems to me that DR.. Compton, s
idea is about the best reconciliation Of
science with religion yet advanced. Il
implies that all human progress is a
part of the Divine plan, which each
generation must carry on, to the end
of making human life easier and hui
man labor lighter for everybody.
To me the most heartening promise
in the Bible has long been that of the
earthly millennium. Every new dis
covery of science, every new machine
to tighten human toll and multiply the
things that make for human satisfac-
tons, is a step toward the realization
of that promise.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The ma
jority leaders in Congress are trying to
speed things up so as to adjourn by
June 6. The only two pieces of leg
islation which are labelled must"
are the new tax bill and the relief ap-
preparation. And not all is clear sail
ing for either of them.
The outlook now is that the tax
measure as it finally gets onto the
statute books will amount to a net in
crease in corporation taxes OF from Z
to 10 percent. Not many members of
either house will understand clearly
just what the effect of the new law
will be, and considerable doubt will
be expressed as to whether it will
raise the necessary additional reven-
ue. However, it will be a stop-gap
which may reduce the amount which
the Government will have to borrow
to carry over the next fiscal year
Relief and How
The relief appropriation has been
complicated by the desire of many
influential leaders in both Houses to
prescribe how future relief money
shall be spent and by whom Secre-
tary Ickes would like to have the
spending of it, and Mr. Ickes has
worked himself into very powerful
political position.
Inside the Administration, however,
there is forming an anti-Ickes bloc,
and unless Congress prescribes differ
emily, situation may develop in
which neither Mr. Ickes nor his chief
rival, Harry Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator, will have the final say.
The talk is that Jess Jones, Chairman
of the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, has been picked by the
President to be the boss of both Mr.
Ickes and Mr.. Hopkins in all future
public works, relief and other emer-
gency spendings.
The cancellation by the Supreme
Court of the Guffey Bituminous Coal
Act has naturally revived discussion
of the question of a constitutional
amendment to give the Federal Gov
eminent powers which it now does
not have to regulate business and in
dustry of state lines. While constitu-
tional revision sentiment is running
high, public expression in favor of it
is being softpedaled. The President
and his supporters in and out Of
Congress don't want to complicate the
Presidential campaign by bringing the
Constitution issue to the fore.
Labor Relations Act
The strongest demand for giving
the Federal Government more power
now seems to be centered in the
ranks of organized labor. Labor
leaders feel that the Labor Relations
Act will be declared unconstitution-
al when it reaches the Supreme
Court, and the same apprehension
seems likely to result in the abandon
ment by Congress of the 30-hour
week bill, the Elenbogen bill for reg
ulation of wages and hours in the
textile industry and the -Healey
bill which would give Washington
complete control of hours and wages

BOLD VENTURE
 IN 6-5 STANDOUT FOR PREAKNESS
Fast Track Seems Likely at PimIico With Bets to
 Approach $l,OOO,OOO
By GEORGE KTRKsEY

United Press Stan C0Frespondent)
 Baltimore, Md, May l6.-(UP)- When the band strikes up My Maryland" this afternoon, fourteen or fewer thoroughbreds will parade to the post for the 18th running of the Preakness stakes, one of the rla- tion's most famous horse races.
 The race is Q mile and three-six- teenths around the oval at old Pin. lico, where George Washington once attended races. Andrew Jackson was Q charter member of the Nary land Jockey club which conducts the Pinlico meeting. Once congress ad- journed for an entire day and went to the Pimlico races in Q body.
 Today nearly 60,000 persons gath- cred ct the old Hilltop" course to see Bold Venture try to make 1t @ double and add the PreaknesS to his Kentucky Derby victory.
 Track ofncials predict that more than @1,000,000 will be wagered in the MutuelS, making 1t one of the biggest betting days in Maryland turf history. Last year $888,O00 was wagered. The biggest day was when Man O War thundered to victory in 1920 and more than Q million dollars poured into the Mutuels.
 Bold Venture was 8 to 5 in the morning. He will be even shorter when the field breaks in quest of the $26,O00 prize and the Woodlawn vase.
 With favorable weather conditions and a fast track predicted, the win- ner may crack the Preakness record of l:60 1-6 for Q mile and three- sixteenths set by the Brookmeade stables High Quest which beat his stablemate, Cavalcade, in an upset in 1884.
 Fourteen thoroughbreds-13 colts and the gleding Bow and Arrow were named overnight. Scratches probably will reduce the field to II or 12.
 Some horse in this field may beat Bold Venture when put to the test, thoroughbred against thoroughbred, but 1t can't be done on paper. The beautiful, but fragile, chestnut colt belongs by himself in comparison to what's entered against him. Four of his prominent rivals ran against him in the Kentucky Derby. The nearest one to him was He Did, eighteen lengths and two heads away. That's Q lot of ground to make up in c marathon, much less c mile and three -sixteenthS race.
 If you have to have Q horse to beat Bold Venture, take Memory Book, Bow and Arrow or Jean Bart Bold Venture proved in the Derby that he can beat horses like Grand Slam, He Did, Granville, and Feufel without getting hot. Of course, Granville lost his rider ct the start and c lot of money will be bot on the Wheatley stable- -Belair stud en- try, which also comprises Teutel and Shark.
 The dark horse iS Transporter, and no one seems to know why. He's being touted on all sides, but when you look ct his record you have to give him Q pass. The rest, Aneroid, Knight Warrior, and Giant Killer, are wasting their time.
