FARM ISOLATION VANISHING As long as there have been cities there have been paved streets, and as I phalt, which we think of usually as a I modern product, was used in ancient Babylon by Nabopolassar who was the first to use It tor street construction. His son. Nebuchadnezzar, followed his example.- and upon one street of which he was particularly proud, caused to be placed a tablet calling iinon his DeoDle to" "traverse this street in joy" and wish him "eternal age and well-being." -.-.. Pompeii built sidewalks of asphalt, and was the first to raise the center of her asphalt streets in order to drain off the water. Modern highways are transforming farm life in many states, relieving it of its loneliness and placing it in ready contact with all that is going on in the world. Good roads present more than merely tourists zipping along the highway, or trucks moving from town to town. The finer picture is that of rural homes linked together, with the men, women and children of the farms brought nearer one an other. Social life in the farming sections is possible today, because of the con stantly increasing web of hard-surfaced roads, and such life is beiom ing the eny of city folks. Only a few years ago, there was little or no state highway construc tion that is now proving. an aid to consolidation of rural schools. FAMOUS PLAYERS ARE TO BUY VITAPHONE New York, Oct. 1.
