Ovid. 649 YEARS OF FREEDOM Switzerland is a living demonstration of the principle of live and let live. There are four distinct cultures, German, French and Romansch. People of each are allowed to live in affairs culturally as they wish. Yet by common to all, they have achieved a country without great wealth, yet without dire poverty either. They have achieved a country in which every male citizen is a trained soldier, and yet which is not militaristic. They have achieved a country in which freedom can and does live side by side with patriotism, military effectiveness, industrial efficiency, and social progress.

It will cost a lot more than that to condition United States roads for wartime traffic. ARMY NEEDS DIRECT ROUTES A mechanized mobile army needs good roads, routed to avoid city traffic, and as direct as possible. Earlier this year, Congress for the 20th consecutive year rejected a proposal to build six transcontinental supertoll highways. Cost was estimated at $202,270 a mile. A mile of highway such as you speed over on your coast to coast motor trip costs about $30,000. There are few innovations in the science of road building. Asphalt, gravel, cement, crushed stone, and tar are the popular materials today, as they have been The Washington Twerity years ago it was necessary to grade from one to two years to allow for settling before the final surface was laid. Now improved tractors make the road bed compact as soon as it is laid. Roads of sand, clay, gravel, chert and shale are cheap, but not strong. Macadam roads are middle class in the opinion of road Bituminous concrete, engineers. cement and brick are considered high type materials. A few years ago gravel roads were rated high only in nuisance value, but modern surface treatment has improved them. ME KNOW ALL ROMANS DID is the worst posClay sub-sosible base; best is a mixture of The thickness sand and gravel. varies. An adequate gravel bed from Alabama might be six inches thick, while in Vermont the gravel base should be a foot thick for adequate weather resistance. Incidentally, the Romans didn't know anything about road building that we don't know. But they had a lot of time, a reservoir of slave labor, and a lot of stone. Their roads are built of cut stone blocks from four to six feet thick. Similarly, because of the availability of material and cheapness of labor, road builders in the Dutch East Indies make their roads of rubDer, and in India, where asphalt is almost unobtainable, they roil along on molasses. Most unusual roads in the United States are those near iron mines, built of iron ore and likely to outlast the job the Romans did. il low-gra- d Merry-Go-Roun- BY DREW PEARSON AND ROBERT S.

The scandal is based on what has become known in inner diplomatic circles as Keynauds trunk." hollowing the French collapse, Reynaud attempted to escape from the country. His plan was to go to Portugal and embark for the United States, where he hoped to be made French Ambassador. He made his dash in Italian, . for for many years. Salt molasses, glucose, burnt clay, cotton, rubber and even tin cans have been suggested as road materials.

In one he travelled with Countess Helene de Fortes, the small, d widow ; for homely, whom he left his wife several years ago and had French divorce laws changed so he could marry her in 1941. As has been reported, this car went off the road, killing the Countess and severely injuring Reynaud. The other car contained two private secretaries, baggage and the mysterious trunk. This car was seized at the Spanish border. There, search of the trunk disclosed that it contained 20,000,000 francs In paper money, shrlll-voiiie- Browsings The forceps of our minds are clumsy, and crush the truth a little In taking hold of 1L II. G. Wells. What will happen to Hitler? According to the prediction of Nostradamus, 10th century astrologer, In 1944 Hitler will be put into an iron cage and bis empire destroyed. At least, thats how the English interpret the prediction. British are finding some comfort in this prediction, as it has been shown Nostradamus previously predicted the French career, revolution, Napoleon's the outbreak of the first World War, abdication of King Edward the Eighth, the Spanish Civil War and the present European war. But then, when I was a youngster, someone was worrying about a prediction that the world would end in 1935. It didn't. Ever since Paul, people have expected the world to end next spring, or winter, or within a year or so. Many religious fanatics have even knocked off work, hung up the plows and waited for the glorious day when Gabriel toots his horn.

Its population is mixed. Seventy per cent of them speak German. But Fifth Columning is negligible. Why? Because the regime is so just, so advantageous, that practically every Sweitzer knows he is better off than under a totalitarian system. Switzerland is poor. It depends on export and import, from which it has been largely cut off by the war. Yet so rugged and independent are its people that they have simply pulled in their collective belt and settled down to wait until conditions clear up. Switzerland is small and weak. There is no question that it could be overrun by neighboring conquerors. But Switzerland is prepared and resolute. The cost of any such invasion, in the face of the natural ruggedness of country and people would be out of proportion to the loot. So in the midst of war, Switzerland remains at peace.
