OREGON MENTION' THIS PAPER WHEN WRITING BETTER ROADS 'alafSiaf MEASURING HUMAN PROGRESS There Has Never Been High State of Civilization Without Dependable Transportation. There are now 115,000 miles of paved or surfaced highways in the United States more than there are or ever were In any other country in the world. They have all been built, too, within comparatively few years. When the system provided for In the federal highway act Is completed, the Agricul tural department reports, the Improved mileage will amount to 180,000 miles. The process will keep right on, with accelerating speed, establishing new trunk lines across the continent and up and down, in a transportation sys tem of ever-growing fineness and dur ability. , Imagine all this network of good roads swept away the condition In , which It would leave the country and the deterioration thut would follow. Good roads aro civilization. There has never been a high state of civili zation without dependable transporta tion routes connecting every locality with every other, and still less will there ever be hereafter, says the Brat tleboro, Vt., Reformer. You can meas ure modern human progress pretty ac curately by Its road building. RESULT OF TRACTIVE TESTS Instruments Carefully and Accurately ' Measure Pull Required and Fuel Consumed.

Good roads are vital to all sections of the country. Contrary to common conception, the wealthy tourists and truck using corporations form only a small fraction of those who are urging better highway transportation. Better roads will benefit two great classes, 8,500,000 of farmers who are dependent upon their automobiles, and as many more city dwelling families with Incomes of less than $4,000, who with the farmers own two-thirds of all the cars sold. Purely as an Investment, ' better roads will pay regular and substan tial dividends which every enterpris ing community cannot afford to lose. Better highways mean better trans portation and better communities. HOSPITALS MADE ACCESSIBLE Automobile and Improved Roads Have Made It Possible for Farmer to Enjoy Advantages. The development of the automobile and the construction of hard roads have made it possible In many sections to equip and erect modern hospitals, even in the smallest towns and cities, and to make these hospitals accessible to patients through the use of motor ambulances for distances as rar as ou mi 40 m les. ine oia emergency operation was performed on tne rougn pine table; now, it may be. done.

BOY - (Coaducted by National Council ef the Boy Scouts ot America.) BOY SCOUT VS. PLAIN BOY A remarkable Illustration of why scout training should be the privilege of every boy Is shown In the following story of two groups of boys, one com posed of scouts and the other not of scouts, both placed In the same pre dicament, which called for Intelligent action, resourcefulness and grit. The way In which the two groups handled the same situation is slgnlflcant A party of Pueblo, Colorado, -scouts last fall were on a hike when they were caught In a blizzard which lasted for forty-eight hours. "It happens that in our part of the country," says the scout executive In relating the In cident, "during the fall and early win ter blizzards come up without a warn ing. These scouts were seven miles from town and were accompanied by their troop leader. They Immediately sought refuge In an old building and then built a fire. They remained here unharmed throughout - the blizzard. During the storm It was humanly Im possible to get through the snow to the boys. After the storm abated a searching party was formed and the boys were met on their way home, perfectly safe and sound and scouting was given a great deal of credit for the way the troop leader cared for bis troop. "The blizzard started Saturday afternoon and It was not learned until Sunday afternoon that three more boys who were not scouts had gone on a hike to the same place but had not returned. A neighbor of the boys who was crossing the prairie at that time unexpectedly came upon two of the lads who, half dazed, were wandering aimlessly around and did not recognize him. "He brought them to the city and late that night when they regained their senses, they asked for their other companion. This revealed the fact that there was another boy left on the prairie. A searching party of 100 scouts was formed and sent out early the next morning. Forming In a straight line with only a short dis tance between each lad, the scouts searched the prairie for several miles around the spot where the boys claimed they left the other lad, "The arroyas were filled with snow from four to twelve feet deep and the snow on the level was several Inches deep, and when darkness came on the party was forced to return without having recovered the body. The next morning an assistant scoutmaster ac- companled by the father of one of the other scouts went to the place where the ecouts left off. After searching short while they found the body of the little boy, "The two boys who were rescued were asked why they did not build a fire to protect themselves from the cold and they stated thnt the woods and weeds were wet with snow and so they did not try to build a fire, They explalnedvalso that they started to hike for hike for home when the storm started and the little bny nine years old, being unable to hlko rapidly, gave out and they tried to carry him. They could not carry him fur so laid lilm down In the edge of an arroya while they started towards what they be lieved to be a farm house nearby. They had mistaken two large trees for a house and when they attempted to find the boy whom they had left In the arroya they could not find him so they sought refuge In another canyon. The boys said they covered their little companion with some weeds and brush to protect him from the storm. Of course, It Is evident that had these boys had scout training they could have built a fire and done other things to assist themselves in the emergency, SCOUT COURAGE Caged In a moving elevator In a New York apartment house with an uncontrollable police dog, a frantic maid, and other passengers, Scout Charles Llttman showed rare courage. The dog had driven the colored ele vator operator cut of the car Just as he opened the door for the eight floor. The operator Jumped but the elevator kept right on toward the roof. Scout Llttman knew that unless lie could gain control of the elevator quickly a fatal accident would occur. He fought off the frantic dog, seized the lever and stopped the rar at the tenth floor. He flung open the door and everyone bolted for safety. But the police dog had marked him as a victim and break ing away from the maid who had not the strength to hold him, the animal chased the scout up twe flights of stairs, where Charles climbed through s scuttle hole to safety while the dog was tearing at his legs.
