May 17, 17,000 miles of hard roads had been completed in the United States and nearly 14,500 roads in all stages miles were under construction. Federal-ai- d total 38,700 miles. They were built with more than 287 Vo million dollars of federal aid, the states contributing 380 million dollars as their share, making a total of 667 million dollars so far spent on the construction of modern highways. June 16 the President signed another appropriation bill of 190 million dollars to be expended within the next three years which will bring our total , mileage of Improved roads up to 71,000 miles, or nearly 40 per cent of the fedeTal-ai- d road program. The 46,000 miles already built would tor being'built parallel the railroads from New York to San FranciscSp nearly fifteen times, or equally divided among the states would give each date nearly 1000 miles of hard roads. The system of highways now mapped out Will serve the whole country and be far superior to any other in the world. x -- i ! f ' HOW MOB MADNESS STARTS Under the influence of mob insanity, it takes the average person about thirty seconds to throw off the mask of civilization and revert to the lowest form of savagery. The other day in Cleveland, an auto driver, speeding fifty miles an hour through congested streets was pursued by motorcycle police. Other auto drivers joined in the chase ,like small boys chasing the fire engine. By the time the reckless driver was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated, the pursuing autoes numbered fifty, and there were cries of Lynch him! There might really have been a lynching, if the chase had been longer and no cops were present. Something like this explains what happened at Herrin. , FATTYS a small sum for writing a scenario. He is now directing Buster Keaton, one of his proteges, in a film, while awaiting patiently for Will Hays to let him come back into the movies. The way of the transgressor is hard, and ought to be. SLEEPY JOE By ALF OSMOND Ill tell the world it ought to 'know the sinful ways of Sleepy Joe. He goes to see the picture show, but cannot keep awake, and in the church Id have you know, for land of goodness sake, he takes a seat upon the stand and snores and scores to beat the band. He always goes to see the fair, but nothing in the show is found that can at all compare with Mr. Sleepy Joe, He finds a soft and shady place and falls so sound asleep that he becomes a real disgrace to cattle and to sheep, for after he is there awhile he soon begins to snore till fashion fans begin to smile and birds begin to soar. The doctors thought he had a spell of sleeping sickness sure, but when they tried to make him well by givin him a cure, they put him in a deeper sleep and made him snore so loud that boys and girls beganAo weep and gather in a crowd. Of all the sinful men I know, I think the worst is sleepy Joe.

Its building program called for a navy equal to the combined strength of any two nations. Today England has little to fear on the ocean. The German navy is extinct and the disarmament conference at Washington has arranged a pact with any possible rivals. But there is no agreement as to airplanes, which many believe will have a determining effect on any future war. A fleet of these flying over a great city and showering upon it deadly bombs would speedily convert such a community as London into one vast graveyard. The war of the future will be directed against the civil population back of the trenches, if there be trenches, as well as against combatants in the field. How long would the civil, population maintain its morale if its cities were laid in ashes over night? A war might well be begun and ended before land armies were mobilized and fleets assembled, provided one side was prepared in the air and the other was unprepared. It i.-- this phase of the matter in thatj is agitating Great Britain and leading to long discussions limia in Either and debates and the press parliament. questions tation in the building of aeroplanes suitable for war must come by international agreement or Great Britain and other countries must enter into competition with those committed to this policy. A few years ago the whole civilized world rejoiced over mans mastery of the air. It was a triumph that thrilled the heart and that, held forth the promise of great benefits to the race. And now unless international agreement restricts its use, the aeroplane may become one of the greatest agencies ever devised by man for his own destruction. Saturday Globe. i ed wai the The subject of airplanes and the next war is agitating the British press, and frequently finds expression in parliament.
