H IMBt engineers are trying to
dlepel three erroneous *ss about
public highways to give th* country
has highly Improved system of r
travel.
These Ideas are:
1. That an Improved road to a lux-
ury. to be enjoyed only If It can be
afforded and not essential to tbe eco-
nomic health of the community.
? That ell roads, if Unproved,
'braid be hard surfaced to make It
worth while.
8. That roads be built for perma-
nency.
1 neae thoughts are attacked and
broken down in a statement of mem-
ber* of the bureau of public roads
to the secre’ary of agriculture.
The Idea of good roads being lux
dries. »ay the engineers, "had its orlg
in tn the early days of tbe automobile
when the motor vehicle was thought our cotton dub boys, we find even a
to be merely a toy of the wealthy
few. and rvad Improvement
thought to be In the Interest of only
tola special elaaa.**
Conditions are different now. Au-
tomobile* are necessities to a great
legree. and roads are needed to ac
rommodate them if only for trans-
portation purpose*.
"The fact la.” reads the rej

than It cost* to iiprove them

Never before was the outlook so
promising for club work. A renewed
interest is being taken on the part
of our entire organization in doing
club work and in using these boys to
demonstrate the methods that a'nmiM

we are having examples brought to
