at least <120 miles where the shift-
ing sands are quite as volatile as
poets and travelers nave pictured
them, where a clear hard road to
obliterated in a few hours, where
hills of sand block the way to the
morning end by night are blown
off and a hollow bored b» the
steady blast of a hoi wind.
Some engineers have told the
commission the only way to
the sand in place would be to plant
vegetation but that would require
water which to not there. Prob-
ably too the aeede would bo Mown
away before they took root, ao that
plan to deemed Impossible by most
experts.
Others proposed building shields
but experiments and observation in-
dicated sand dunes soon would ov-
ertop them. Then the problem
would be as It eras in the begin-
ning.
Th« tunnel Idea offered by a
French engineer. Paul Remy, con-
templates a metal tube supported
on a sort of sunken skeleton via-
duct of oroes ties and piles. The
tube would make it simple to lay
telephone and electric cables across
the deeert and might bouse aim

Personally are are in favor of
running all highways around the city
to give the through trucks carrying
booae a right of way so they wont
have to be slowed up going through
our town.
For six yean, there , have been
occasional automobile expeditions
across the deeert but that form of
travel is rejected as absolutely In-
adequate. For one thing, It to con-
sidered impossible to transport
troops rapidly In that way.
As for a railroad, the problem
to to find some means of keeping
the rails clear of sand The Sahara

are vast stretches of barren, rocky
or pebbled surface where it to prac-
ticable to make a solid Tight of way

And then what about the bank
and other robbers? Why not give
them a paved road around the city
ao that when they rob In some other
town they can make their get-away
without going through Brownwood
with a chance of being stopped by
our ever vigilant police? Give them
a chance.
