AU records for road construction In .
the United State* were broken during '
the flacul year 1922, according to the
annual report of the bureau of public ,
roads, United States Department of I
Agriculture. During that period 10.-
000 mile* of federal aid roads and I
| more than an equal mileage of high-
way* without federal awiatanee were
constructed.
From the viewpoint of federal-aid
progress the year divides Itself into
two periods, one before and the other
after the passage of the federal high-
way act. The first jierlod was a season
of great construction activity, during
which the greater part of the work of
completing the 10,000 miles was done.
It was also one of almost complete
stagnation with resjiect to the initia-
tion of projects. 1
When the year opened there was an
unobligated balance of $18,798,544 of
the federal-aid appropriations, and the
projects Initiated since the beginning
of the work aggregated 35.402 miles.
By the end of October, 1921, the un-
obligated balance had been reduced to
$11,714,328, the lowest it had been
since 1918. Only two states at that
time had a balance of more than $1,-
000.000 to draw upon for new projects,
and a number were so reduced that
their balance was not sufficient to pay
for another mile of road.
Just before the passage of the fed-
eral highway act tlie mileage submit-
ted by the states had not grown during
the fiscal year, but had actually dimin-
ished as a result of the withdrawal
and substitution of projects. The to-
tal mileage proposed was only 35,379
i miles, as compared with the 35.402
I miles of four m<oths before. Immedi-
ately upon the approval of the act the

(A story on Listening More and Talk
ing Less)
It had been one of wonderful, snap-
py, cool, fall days. After Ruth ar.d
Jack returned from school they found
Uncle Ted all ready for a hike intc the
woods. It didn’t take any effort to
persuade the kidies that a hike was
the thing to do. They were ready in
a jiffy and, my, what a walk they did
have. Looking for pretty colored
leaves and nuts and watching the squi
rels getting ready for winter. They*
even found an owl, something unusuai
in the day time. He was sitting on a
limb, high up in a tree and Uncle Ted
made sure that both his iittle chums
got a good view of the wise old bird.
They had been home some time anil
Ruth and Jack were looking forward
to a story Uncle Ted had promL-ed
them one when they were in the woods
providing they would eat their sup-
per slowly and promise to go to bed
early. All of these promises were
kept, ar.d we now find our little
friends huddled before a big open fire
with Uncle Ted in the center of the
group.
“You remember, kiddies, this after-
noon when we saw that great big
owl?” began Uncle Ted
"You bet I remember him.” said
Jack.
“So do I,” replied Ruth.
“Well, kiddies, that owl gave me an
idea for a story which I feel should
give you a letter idea of a real, big
man than anything I could say. You■OFFICERS

from the lips of many throughout his
whole life, President Coolidge is in a
wonderful position properly to conduct
the affairs of his office. A man who
has lived close to nature, who has been
poor, knows the needs of his fellow-
man far better than a man who has
>een raised in luxury, with every coin
fort at his command.
“Aside from these qualities, Presi-
dent Coolidge seems to have had a pro
found respect for the Declaration of
independence and the Constitution of
the United States bom in him You
see he was born on July 4th He places
all our government instituitons on a
high piane and he believes in the en-
forcement of our laws. No man can
doubt that- And, further than that
he knows that if there are any laws on
the statue books that are not just, the
people of the United States have the
power to change them
