If all the automobiles in this coun try stood evenly distributed over all j the roads of this country, there would be five motor cars to every 2 miles of roadl. And there are 2,457,334 miles of public road. If every motor ear in the United States were loaded to its limit with people, half the population of the United States couldl be hauled at one load. And there are about 110,000,000 1 people in this country: I Getting down to boot heels and bitulithic--just to avoid the vulgar phrase of bedrock anti brass tacks about 87 per cent of all the motor ve hieles in the world are on the roads of the United States.

Oficials of the Bu reau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, point out that this is the largest appropriation ever made. by any government for a :.imilar purpose, and that it will en able the Federal and State govern ments to carry on a road-building program of a magnitude never ap proached in the history of the world. This work, it is estimated, will employ more than 100,000 men in active road work, in addition to the men engaged in the production and furnishing of roa'd-biuding materials. It affords one of the large opportunities for profit yb'0 employment for returned sohliers and sailors. AutomIobile Owe ers and Road Bonds The program is a centinuing one.

E-80 to vote for road bonds. His tire and fuel costs, as before mentioned, are cut in half by good roads. More im portant still, if he be a city man, as a very large proportion of automobile owners are, it brings what he eats to his door at less cost. Goo I roads have always meant something in the way of reducing living costs, but they mean more now that the motor truck has come to stay-anal to expand. One function of the motor truck is to re lieve congestion in the neighborhood of large cities-a congestion that has increased during the past several years, and that, if it continues, will .nd to run up the cost of living. Those are a few of the main reasons why, from tha standpoint of self-in terest, the city aptomobile owner should vote for road-bond issues. Good Roads as Military Measure From the standpoint of duty, the military element probably takes first place. When it became necessary two years ago to concentrate great num bers of men in canton nents, it was found that the roadways connecting he cantonments with the surround iun' pities were in no sense adequate. For te most nort new roads had to be constructed. There is always the pos :sbility of another such emergency, and. the only measure of insuring facile communication is by the con struction of surfaced roidls over which motor tricks can oner te. While the security of the Nation in such an emergency might depend tnion goo'l roads for nilitarv uses, their servie- to the Nation would not he confined to miltarv matters. For a great nortion of the time during the past two years 91) per cent of the railroad capacity of the country was re:uired for military purposes. The transportation of food, fuel and the like had to ba accomplished largely hv means other than rail. Some hard-. ships were entailed. The motor truck, however, over sne-h roadls as were p~as sable, r-endered excellent service. When .the present road-building nro vram is carried out i-nd the total of :mproved roads is several times la-rrer than at aresent, the service nossibili ti's of the miotor trw~k will be corre-. soondingly increased and the safety of the Nation and the comfort of the pepemor-e fully insured. ---- ---- -- ONE HLUNDRED) PER CENT GAMiE, No doubt there are varioaus kinds 'f bravery. Last summer the country !alked a gr-eat deal about the Amer ican soldlier's meeting death "with smiles on their facs," and we felt that this diisplaty of - cour-age could never be overshadowedi. Perhaps it eannot, but lately there has heen reason to believe it can he eqlualledl, at least. Hans enough thought been given to that other- kind of courage that bears defomity with cheerful ness? This true incident is only one of many that illustrates the moral fiber that makes the American soldier 100 per cent game anud grit. A trainload of wounded for a south ern hospital was met at one of the ony stations by the Red Cross women, who, went through it, giving them aid an'l c-omfore. One, noticing the unusual pallor on the face of a boy streched out on a cot, unfastened a rose from her breast and handed it to him. As the soldier 'nade, ro move to take it, she asked him if lie did not want it, and an other who lay near said: "Lady, you dlon't understand, Hie wants it, but he can't take, it, for he has no hands." Tears came to her eyes and she -hoked when she tried to speak. But the first b~oy laughed and said: "Never mind,.lady, it's all right; he hasn't onvthing on me, for- he hasn't any feet." No more important work than the r'-trainingr of these crippled soldiers "'-mains for the government to (do. Tlhere are to b)e no war dlependents amnong the brave boys, who suffered to bring about victory. Those who have lost their feet are learning to -vak~ on arti'ieial ones, Machine-made hands are being turned out so per f-o-tiv adaptabhle that a man who lhas 'ost both of his own is now trained as a meohamnical engineer.
