Bond Issue Proposed to
Finish Highway System
A new *50,000,000 bond issue with
which to complete the trunk line sys-
tem of roads of Michigan has been pro-
posed. ; ’ j
The plan in the form of a resolution
was passed by the annual meeting of
the Michigan Tourist and Resort asso-
ciation at Muskegon following the elec-
tion of oMcers of that orggnlsatioa, ti
Some officials feel that the Job ought
to be done in three year* and that un-

take at' least fifteen years to get into
operation. Tourists and resort authori-
ties of the state are putting all their
energies behind the idea.

Washington.—Anc\her ste£ along _
the road leading tfO*
bership m the world court was taken
Friday with the official notification
of President Coolidge of the adoption
of the resolution of adherence with
reservations by the senate.
From the White House the reso-
lution was transmitted to the state
department, which now takes up the
task of advising the forty-enght mem-
bers of the court that the United
States is ready to sign with reserva-
tions, and of inquiring whether those
nations approve of membership on
the conditions laid down by the
American government.
The refusal of a single state to
accept those conditions would oper-
ate to prevent the signature of the
United States to the protocol and
statute now deposited in the head-
quarters of the league of nations at
Genova.
Opponents of the court were hope-
ful that the reservation under which
the court could entertain no request
for an “advisory opinion” on any
question in which the United States
claimed an interest without previous-
ly obtaining the consent of this coun-
try might operate to prevent ap-
proval of American membership by
some of the member nations.
American adherence to the world
court was approved Thursday by the
senate.
The vote on ratification of
Swanson resolution was 76 to 17.
This was fourteen more than the
necessary two-thirds vote.
Ratification was supported by
forty republicans and thirty-six dem-
ocrats, while fourteen republicans,
two democrats and one farm-labor
senator voted against it.
Honey is a valuable sweet and when
one is supplied with plenty, the crav-
ing for other
sweets which are
/__not wholesome is
satisfied.
Honey is a
m a n u f a c tnred
sweet, made In
the body of the
bee from the nec-
tar which has
been gathered from flowers. Honey is
a concentrated sweet like sugar; it
contains more water than sugar and
also a little acid. It gives a tang and
flavor to hot sauces, to used in sweets
of all kinds In place of sugar. When
using honey in cakes and such foods,
the amount of liquid may be reduced
one-fourth; otherwise it may be used
as a substitute for sugar.
The cake, doughnut or cooky made
with honey keeps moist and good-fla-
vored much longer than if sugar were
used.
Cheese and Honey Salad.—Take
one-half pound of cottage cheese, add
cream or butter to moisten and make

of vinegar and add to the first mix-

turn all to the boiler and stir until

third of a cupful of sour cream.

soft Rub through a sieve. Add one

—Cowper.
highway was laid out across the con-
tinant, motor vehicle traffic was not a
problem. Heavy through passenger
traffic was then foreseen by but a few
and Interurban freight transportation
was a dream.
But the founders of the Lincoln
highway, with a vision of the present
marvelous development of highway
transportation, endeavored to set an
example In the routing of the Lincoln
highway by leading it around or near,
instead of through large centers along
the line.
This policy, far from meeting with
the approval of the authorities or the
business men of the communities near
the projected routs, raised a storm of
disapproval.
Every community between New York
and San Francisco near the line se-
lected for the flrst transcontinental
highway fought with avidity to have
the route marked to follow through
its main streets—through the heart of
its downtown district.
In later years, as realinement on the
route became possible and the original
location was slightly revised here and
there in the process of shortening,
many communities originally incorpor-
ated on the rotfte were by-passed and
in each instance the association’s
board was deluged with protestations,
visited by committees, and strongly
censured when it held to its original
policy of missing every community
possible.
It is difficult to estimate to what ex-
tent the progress of Improvement on
the Lincoln highway has been delayed
in some states through the antagon-
ism or apathy developed in certain
influential centers' of population be-
cause the route did not exactly bisect
the butaess communities of such cen-
ters and pass the doors of the busi-
ness establishments.
It is interesting to note how the
passage of years and the development
of American highways and highway
transport have changed the municipal
attitude toward through route con-
struction and alinement. There is
hardly a metropolitan center along the
Lincoln highway now which is not
making a strenuous effort to provide
adequate by-passes for the tremen-
dous volume of travel which it is now
recognized should not be allowed to
add to the growing congestion of busy
business streets.
City planning commissions every-
where are urging the opening and
broadening of through arteries trav-
ersing the edges rather than the cen-
ters of metropolitan arena American
cities have had a tendency to cen-
tralize along a flrst main business
street and later along a few such
streets. Few of them are laid out
with any eye toward decentralization
of traffic and a great problem lies be-
fore American communities to taking
steps now to take care of the still,
greater coming traffic.

Pershing Urges Federal
Roads in Defense Plan
Probably no testimony would carry
more weight as to the importance of
good roads to the nation’s defense
scheme than that of Gen. John J.
Pershing, commander of the American
forces in the World war and until re-
cently chief of staff of the United
States army.
Looking over the records, the Amer-
ican Automobile association finds that
General Pershing testified before the
senate committee on post offices and
post roads as follows:
“The country roads will be of tre-
mendous value in time of war.
roads must be relied on to obtain the
needed food supplies.”
Ever since the co-operative work be-
gan on the building of the federal aid
highways, all roads constructed with
federal funds have been required to
be built so that the culverts and
bridges shall be constructed to meet
the requlremqpts of the army.
