And as for the doctor, it appeared that
he had worked all night to save Tom
after he had saved that mother and
baby.
But this other fellow squirting
through the smoke he had succeeded
in putting up-there was nothing soft
about him. What did he care about a
barber and saloon man squealing
if they did not get Slickear Nolan and
prove him guilty with a long trial?
There had not been proof enough even
to arrest Nolan two years ago.

Big Highway Gridiron

A vast national highway system Is said to be under consideration in Congress, with many favoring It. The general out lines are impressive. It Is said to call for three transcontinental trunk lines east and west and six intersecting north-and- south, all of them "wide, safe and fully lighted for the use of commercial motor traffic" At all points where these lines meet, there would be great airports and depots, with giant crane sand trucks for the exchange of freight and facilities for the ready transfer of passengers.
 The superhighways would all be 60 to 100 feet wide, built of the most durable materials, and running through open country wherever possible so as to avoid city traffic. The rights of way would be 200 feet wide. They would be built on contract, the work always going to the lowest bidders. Construction would be checked by army engineers and inspec- tors to insure first-class quality. Rights of way would be bought by high-grade men of long experience, appointed by the President. The whole undertaking would be expected to cover 16 years and cost $8,000,000 ,000, half billion year.
 It is regarded largely as contribution to solving the employment problem. Con-, tractors would be obliged to hire elderly men first, then the middle-aged and youthful unemployed. This policy would obviously make it more relief project than straight engineering enterprise. It would also greatly increase the cost. For greatest efficiency and excellence of construction, the most modern machin- cry should be used, rather than great numbers of hand-workers. Done either way, the big job might be justified, but there would be quite an argument about 1t if 1t were proposed now. Maybe in the next depressionl
