WAR TIME HIGHWAYS One of the most impressive things observed by anyone who travels about this country, with whatever private methods are possible for him, is the general excellence of the roads, in' any comparison with highways of the last, war, the improvement is almost incredible. -It was wise'foresight, and in most cases genuine thrift, that made this possible.

The nation is not building roads now, except occasionally here and there for purposes of a military nature, but it derives immense benefit from the roads already built. 'It is always to remembered that highways, more than any other system of transportation, bind together a county, st'atoi or nation. In times like these it is especially important not to let them run clown. DO YOU REMEMBER? From The Files Of The News "BUTTON UP YOUR LIP! 20 Years Ago Muriel Edna Booth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

The report, published in 11 Tempo, an independent Rome daily, disclosed that the braggart Italian loader expected to overrun Greece in. three months with about twenty divisions of men. Here is an interesting excerpt from the report: Duce: "Now one thing more. Having fixed tho date, we should kr.ow how we may give the appearance of reason to this operation fours.

A justification of general character would be that Greece is an ally or our enemies who are using her bases, etc. But. horeover, wo need an incident which should allow us ti assert that we enter the war to establish order.

To the players, this will be a drastic and unhealthy way of life. Eye trouble will develop. Right now night games arc compelling somc players who never had to use htsscs, to wear 'em. Babe Dahl- is an example. Irregular meals and sleep is another disadvantage.

Smart baseball oilicials have done everything possible in the. past to promote the interest of these future audiences by admitting them free to weak- day, daylight games.

Larry" McPhail's Knothole Club produced the fans who later pulled the Dodgers out of the -red financially and a Brooklyn famed -as the outstanding baseball city in the country. Even if.it were possible to admit the kids free at night, few parents would want them to attend. Boys, as prospective big leaguers, arc not getting a square shake from organized baseball. The major clubs show no interest in a boy until he's 16 and can get working papers. Then, if he's got the stuff, they send him out to a Class League where they squeeze what they can out of him as a hired hand.

You can't tell me a single thing they actually do youngsters. Sure, they semi, on request, an educational movie and lecturer to a few schools, clubs and other organizations and that ends their interest.
