He tells ine" that" fh difference between safety and carelessness in'ariy ordinary short trip about town is about 30 seconds. On' a trip of aoout 100 miles it might be about 30 I told him he is never to take ti: cfcailce unless I tell him- that 'I am in a hurry and don't remember that I ever told him to hurry and I don't thinkl ever will. It not Iike4y that 'this hiau' will ever be hi a serious automobile accident. In the first his'.

He states The Breeze is an ever welcome weekly visitor at their home, as has been the case since they left Monroeville many years ago lor their Minnesota home.

That it is an ever welcome letter and that it is highly appreciated. Every person on moving from the home of their childhood, should subscribe and have The Breeze follow them.

"Newspaper Association Member No. 4253 EDITORIAL The great exposition of road building material, methods, and machinery i which now is in progress in Chicago emphasizes as never, before the position which highway construction and use -is to take in jjiis country. Here, under one roof are gathered together such an educational exhibit of all that pertains to highw ay making as the has never seen. Road builders lrom aii over the country are attending; road buyers have sent their representatives to see what progress has hi en made in t'he art; road users come to see whether or not their own roads are up to the best standard, ana if the money their communities are spending is being wisely spent.

Attracting "a major amount of the attention of the visitors are the two exhibits which hava nothing to sell; nothing to gain except the spread of a nidca. The Bureau of Public Roads, Department of Agriculture, has a highly educational exhibit, showing the work" of the bureau, the administration of the Federafid road acts, and the ight way to build roads. The Na- tional Highways Association, koccupy- iiig a great space across the end of the gallery, shows very large and elaborate maps, illustrating the idea. back of the association. It shows, with literature and other exhibits, its educational work looking to 'the creation of national sentiment for the theory that the National Government should build, own, control, and forever-maintain a system pf National High- ways to which Stales would feeder road which, in.

(urn would be served by county and township roads. The great throogs oX.j?eojle coming to the Coliseum are but an indication of the interest we, as a people, take in the highway transportation problem, and the absolute necessity of this Government taking the next step in its solution, which is, of course, the creation of "a National Highway Commission to locate and build" the first of the truly national roads.
