We find oorselves, almost "without
realizing it, a nation on wheels. 1 S
We drive or ride in more than
17,000,000 motor vehicles.
We pads the paved highways coming
in and out ol town. We over-run even
so-called remote iregions. And we are
pounding to pieces all but permanent
. . roads. ;;. v;;"; :V-.!; ". :! '
This year probably 4,000,000 new
cars will be on the road. Compared to
this increase, the mileage of new per
manent roads will be insignificant. !
, We don't want to be a nation j on
wheels, with no place to go. j
The answer is, build more, and where
necessary, wider concrete roads and .. .

. Not in a long time have general con- .

Story la Romance
The story of Floyd Collins; un
certain in its outcome, uncertain
even from, day to day. Rev. Biser
referred to as paralleling the ro
mance of mankind itself. Xo oth
er Incident within jmemory.'rhe
said, had brought so many prayers
from the brotherhood of man for
one fellow man trapped under1
ground. i
"Floyd loved the J caverns and
the caves: loved them as some of
us love flawers and the birds.
he continued. "Now he is en-
hrined in his sarcophagus of stone
where his body lies in peace."
"It was Flovd's wish to be bur
ied in a cave.". the speaker added,
and then related a dream that
angels came and took him away
from a cave where he was im
prisoned, j !
"Heroic deeds have laid a er
manent monument for the, whole
country in the exhibitions of cour
age and stamina revealed for the
18 days at Sand CaveV the Rev.
C. K. Dickey of Horse Cave. said.
He supplemented JRev. Biser's
statement that the spot would fori.
ever be sacred to the memory of
him who had called forth so much
loving kindness. . j ' -
J.' F. Van Cleave of Glasgow
spoke in a Woe so low that the
trickling of water down an oppo
site hillside onlr emphasised the
solemnity of the occasion. Faint
clicks from cameras were audible
as Van Cleave told; softly of how
men emerging from the rescue
shaft had dropped j like dead on
their cots night after night.
The Rer. Mr. Dickey conducted
the committal "and A. F- Pearson.
Glasgow undertaker, dropped a
bit of ashes, a tiny fluttering fern
and a bit of earth as Floyd's un
seen remains were committed to
bis-Maker. . .,' " ' .. ' -
Fifty-five minutes 'had elapsed
when the final "Amen brought
'the closing of the services. Such
was the last hour of spiritual
tribute to Floyd Collins.-irA few
more hours and his body will hare
been sealed 'in its j tomb deep in
the earth befbw. A block f con
crete will be permitted, to solidify
in the lateral ; leading from the
rescue shaft while the shaft proper
will be filled with rock and earth
from, the Vicinity.-- '

whole thing over to the text book
commission. At the end of a two
year' period, they t will probably
adopt a new set of books, for the
reason that they can be obtained
at a cheaper price than the books
used during the previous year.
This would work a great hardship
on many families, due to the fact
that school books are usually
handed down from one child to
another. In my estimation the
bill should be adopted." ;

Ira Heylbelt was killed when

tained Sunday. During the same
period last year four persons were
killed , by automobiles here.
Changes In the state traffic
code, fixing definite responsibility
for motor vehicle drivers and
pedestrians with heavier penalties
was advocated by. Police Judge
John B. Gordon as a means of re
ducing the number of fatalities.
Judge Gordon .favored the bond
ing of automobile drivers , by ap
proved surety company as a pre
requisite to application for a driv
er's license; examination of driv
er permit, applicants as to mental
and physical f itness to operate mo
tor vehicles, police judges to have
power to revoke drivers licenses
for cause; reduction in. allowable
speed along streets and across or
around intersections in business
districts and congested , - districts
and requiring drivers . to come to
a complete stop before entering

had fallen off and the price boosts

B. Tough, bureau of mines expert,

Mr. Tough replied that formerly

Both Senator Curtis. Kansas.
the republican leader, and Senator
Harreld referred to previous In"
vestlgations of the oil industry.
the Oklahoman declaring "too
many investigations will ruin any

Senator Curtis thought the
Trammell resolution should be re
ferred to the senate Interstate
committee, inasmuch as prosecu
tions had been started or were
pending as a result of the federal,
trade commission's report of 1923.
That .Investigation, he said, cost
$23,000, and before another was
ordered It should be considered
by a senate committee.
Senator Trammell 'asserted the

showed the oil industry monopol

dividends.
