Delayed in its program of good ‘Foads construction by the war and _confronted at the end of thet period by a condition of badly run-down ihighways, the federal government, co- ‘Opemtlng with the highway depart- ‘ments of the several states, has re- ‘Sitmed the vigorous prosecution of the ‘work, and, says David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture, there is now ‘mo special obstacle to the construc- tion, in the different states of the ‘Union, of those ronds which serve the .greatest economic needs.” In his ‘an- inual report, Secretary Houston says: “Good roads are essential to the iprosperity and well-being of urban and ‘rural communities alike. They are -prerequisite for the orderly and sys- ‘tematic marketing of farm products, ifor the establishment of satisfactory ,irural schools, and for the develop- iment of a richer and more attractive jrural life. Recognizing these facts, lthe federal government, through the ipassage of the federal aid road act in ;1918. inaugurated a policy of direct ifinancial participation in road-building operations in the various states. This iset appropriated $75,000,000, to be jmatched by an equal amount from the istates, for the comstruction of rural post roads over a period of five yeers, and $10,000,000—$1,000,000 s year for 10 . years—for roads within or partly B It re- iquired each state to have a responsible jcentral highway commission with the ‘réquisite powers and funds. All the ‘states have complied with the terms .of the. act, although it was necessary for them to epact additional legisla- itlon, or to amend thelr constitutions; ito provide sufficient funds to match the federal apportionment; and to 'étrengthen existing central highway Ibodies or to>create new agencies. “When these preliminary steps had /been practically completed and the de- |partment and the states were about ready to proceed vigorously with the iactual construction of roads, the :United States estered the war. It soon Macadam Mixing Method. jbécame necessary greatly to curtail [highway building because of the dif- ‘ficulty of securing transportation, con- struction materials, and the requisite services. After the armistice was isigned, arrangements promptly were imade for the active resumption and ‘vigorous prosecution of road work in .lall gections of the country, not only ;wlth a view to repair the damage ‘wrought by the heavy traffic forced mpon our highways during the war, iwhen maintenance operations were seriously interfered with, but also to provide adequate transportation facili- ‘ties to serve the increased needs of ‘egriculture and Industry. Recognizing algo that road-building activities ‘would furnish suitable employment bor many unemployed men during the period of transition from war to peace, {the congress at its last session, ac- cepting the recommendation of the department of agriculture, appropriat- ‘ed $209,000,000, in addition to the $85,- 000,000 provided by the original act, far the extension of road construction in co-operation with the states, and also made some important amend- iments to the act. The definition of the kind of roads that can be con: structed was greatly broadened and the limitation on the federal contribu- tion for any ome road was increased from $10,000 to $20,000 a mile. These amendments have greatly facilitated fconsideration of and action upon the road projects submitted by the state highway commissions. There is now mo special obstacle to the construe- tion, in the different states of the Union, of the roads which serve the greatest economic needs.” Insects Give Us Shellac. Shellac is the joint product of in- sects and plants and comes from India. The lac insects are about one-twenty- fifth of an inch long, a bright red in color. They suck the juices of plants, digest them and exude them In the form of resin, which soon encases the whole insect. When the young insects have swarmed out, the resin is scraped from the branches, ground, washed, mixed with colophony and orpiment, cooked slowly and drawn out into the thin sheets we know a= shellac, Bl "0:0:0Xo:o}o:o:o{o:o:o‘.’o:o:0:0:0:0 OO XXX X ] % Brothers Side by Side i,:i in Gloomy Sing Sing [¥] Ryl XXX XX e XX Ossining, N.

St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.—United States marines garrisoning at these new possessions of Uncle Sam can not understand the fashions affected by the natives. Why a negro, or Cha-Cha Indian, should wear an overcoat when the thermometer stands at 100 in the shade mystifies them. For some strange reason, the native Virgin islander believes in wearing every -article of clothing he can lay hands on. All American holidays are now celebrated by the natives, who spend the day parading about the streets, some of them wearing over- coats, capes, two or more pairs of trousers and a red bandanna handker- chief about the neck. Also they fre- quently adorn themselves with the horns of cows or oxen attached to the head just in front of the ears.

Other causes—the waste of war, under-produc- tion, credit inflation—have added dollars to the cost of the necessities of life, while freight charges have added only cents. The average charge for hauling a ton of freight a mile is less than a cent. A suit of clothing that sold for $30 before the war was carried 2,265 miles by rail from Chicago to Los Angeles for 16% cents. a Now the freight charge is 22 cents and the suit sells for $50.

Gen'lof Railroads The $10 pair of shoes that used to sell for $5 goes from the New England factory to the Florida dealer for a freight charge of 573 cents—only one cent more than the pre-war rate. —but these other charges amount to but a few cents more. Beef pays only two-thirds of a cent a pound freight from Chicago to New York. American freight rates are the lowest in the world.
