I sometimes .wonder if it is Just 1' wonder if we do not more often underestimate our possessions and our achievements. We really are a wonderful country, you know, and with fuU allowance for our shortcomings, a wonderful people, too. So I rather think we are Justified in some of our boastfulness.

Mr VV I have found In talking with Americans who have toured abroad that ,mo6t of them will give as examples of model highways a few main traveled roads. But ask them about the 'general roads of any country and they will either tell you they do not know, or If perchance one has happened to lose his way and got on to one of the byways, he will admit that they are about as bad as has ever been seen In Michigan or Nebraska. Your traveled American will expatiate at great length on the wonderful roads of Frances And they are wonderful. That is to say, some of .them are.

The roads in the British isles are excellent, but after all New England has more, and they are Just as good, despite the climatic conditions that favor the former. The Rhine route in Germany Is all that has been claimed for it, but we have our roads up the Hudson to match It and who shall say whether the scenery qn the Rhine or the Hudson Is more beautiful, since both are magnificent beyond descrip- tion?

Anyone who has traveled over this well knows he will not return that way because its beauty is deceptive. The gritty particles of marble will cut the tread off a set of tires in one trip. I wonder how many people realise the influence of climate on roads? I wonder how many of those who rave over the fact that the Appian Way is still in tolerable condition after more than two thousand years, have stopped to consider how long that same highway would last in Michigan, for example?
