Th$ part that highways play in the
progress of civilization is well shown
by the experience 6f Europe during
the past 2,000 years. Prom the gpj
|en milestone in Rome great highways
rere builf to the remotest "bounds of
he Roman Empire. Over them went
the Roman soldier, and with him law
and order. Over them went the
. jGreek schoolmaster, and with him
^'schools and colleges. Over them wpnt
■wy: 'the missionary, of the Cross, and with
him5-the church, hospital, medical, sci-
churches and cathedrals and the maxi-
mum of population, wealth and cul-
ture, are found along the, highways
thrown, out from Rome.
On that fateful July day, when the
German thrust the point of his wedge
between the English and the French*
at Chateau Thierry, and there was not
a man nor gun to oppose their , march
to the English Channel, it was the
highways that saved Europe. Fifty
miles away were forty thousand U. S.
Marines and other troops and a thous-
and American-made motor trucks. Due

the roads of France saved eivilization.
If for twenty centuries the system
of highways has been the mold into
which sixty generations of Europeans
have been ruri and have taken shape,
who can nowjneasure the influence on
American life of a national highway
system, gridironing this land between
ocean and ocean and connecting all the
county seats of all the States ? When
the rate of speed on Europe's roads
was but thi-e^to six miles per hour
for. passengers anil two miles per hour
for freight, the highways determined
twenty centuries of .history. What
will be th.e effect on American life
with highways which speed up the
movement of passengers to twenty-
five or even forty miles an hour and
of freight to tw;ej^~!cr even thirty
miles per hour, at the_ same time re-
ducing the cost?.

Bubbling up out of the ocean from a
depth of 125 feet, a big spring of fresh
sulphur water, two miles off the coast
of Florida and eight miles south of St.
Augustine. was-*ecehtly surveyed by
experts of the Baitsd States coast and
geodetic survey'" Long known t"o resi-
dents of St. Augustine and marked on
charts, the spring has been the source
of speculation for years.
A short time ago the government
scientists anchored directly "over yije
troubled waters of tlie sea spring and
'-proceeded'to investigate it. The wa-
ter sampled was about the same tem-
perature as the surrounding Atlantic,
but the tremendous size., and force -of
its 'geyser like up Welling was plainly'
apparent. at. the surface. The ocean
tloor surrounding the" spring is only
about fifty-five feet deep, but the
spring rises from a depression which
measures more than 125 feet deep.
A strong "odor of sulphur pervades
the atmosphere around the spring and
the force of the water was such that
it was only with difficulty that the ship
was prevented .from being pushed
away by the bubbling waters- -Sam-
ples, of the waters at various depths
were secured a'nd forwarded to the
