timore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroade is seen as a possible result of the rate protest made last week by J. E. Dempster, a local attorney, to the Interstate Commerce Commission. Dempster claims the Baltimore and Ohio is charging an illegal rate between Camden Station and Washington—$1.44 for the 36.8-mile trip against $1.33, which is the legal limit, he says. The difference, he eaid, costs travelers $250,- 000 a year. The road is charging only $1.33 or $1.34 for tickets to Relay and other points and thence to Washington. Charg- ing more for tho direct trip is also in violation of the transportation act, Dempster said. He sald that it was within the power of the Interstate Commerce Commission to grant the Pennsylvania the right to meet the $1.33 rate, if the latteris forced upon the Baltimore and Ohim by that body. The Pennsylvania probably would do this rather than suffer the competition, he said, doubling the Baltimore and Ohto saving. Veteran Pastor to Marry.

Behind the Automobile Millions now recognize the automo- bile as a necessity. It is no longer a luxury for the few. Sixty per cent of its use is for business. Because of this the modern paved highway has become an economic ne- cessity. . Yet although the mileage of Concrete Roads and Streets has been steadily in- creasing, our highway system today lags far behind the automobile. The great majority of our highways are as out of date as the single-track, narrow gauge railway of fifty years ago. Such a condition not only seriously handicaps the progress of the automo- Bile as a comfortable, profitable means of transportation, but also holds back, commeycial. industrial and agricultural advancement in practically every sec- tion of the country. It is costing tax- payers millions of dollars annually. Highway building should be con- tinued and enlarged upon. Your highway authorities are ready to carry on their shdre of this great public waogk. But they must have yoursupport. Tell them you are ready to invest in more and wider Concrete Highways now. / PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION Union Trust Building WASHINGTON. D. C.
