' "Of almost eciual moment is the net Ion taken at the recent highway convention in Chicago. The presi dent's viewpoint was emphasized and approved at a Joint meeting of the Highways Industries Associations, he State Highway Official's Assoei iilion, the Highways Transport Com i mittee, the Nulional Automobile Chamber of Commerce, the Ameii c n Automobile Association, and the 1 incoln and Dixie II ighway , Associa tions. Among the delegates were i highway officials from forty-four states. I "National Bentlment in favor of an Adequate highway system was never more graphically brought to light than at the Chicago gathering. With perfect accord the convention' ne folved that the following main points should be embodied in a bill to be put before the present short term of congress for passage: , I "1. That a Federal Highways Commission be appointed to plan, maintain and construct a national system of highways. "2. That the mileage of highways to be taken over in any given state should not amount to over 4 per. cent f the total mileage of the roads of 1 lat state. 3. That a thorough survey and an alysis of the transportation requlre lients of the nation and its highway .traffic should be compiled. I "4. That an appropriation should be made by the federal government of $100,000,000 per year for carry ing on this work. I "&. That the Federal Highways Commission shall take over Ihe work of the HighvMiy Transport Commit tee and the Office of l'ublic Roads of the Department of Agriemulture. "TnU is the platform of the coor dinated highway and business inter ests of the entire country. Its broad and vital aspects will help meet Am erica's pledue to supply Km ope wiih foodstuffs. It will furnish an ines timable n:tioual asset in the trans portation of around 2.", 000. 000 tons of grain, butter, eggs, stock and pre pared food from farming communi ties and industrial centers to the sea ports. Furthermore, this legislation will create a highway foundation for the future which will help broaden our vision in the development of na tional resources. "Our concept bin has been small our Interstate highway transporta tion has been cramped and handi capped by bouudary lines. The stum bling block planted itself on the state line where, one state with different plans, appropriations and specifica tions halted their highway work perhaps the neighboring state , was poor, or its policy was to improve the country lanes on a bigger scale than the big Interstate laterals and motid- 'iuiB. The vital road was incomplete J it contained bad stretches render 'jig it Inefficient. "Under the Federal Highways Commission groups of states will better understand each other's prob- 1'ms and government direction will tarnish a stimulus that will be re flected and felt on down the line to l!ie county and township road com- mlseions. "Today only 11 Per cent of our loads are improved. There are 399,000 miles of roads in the United States, of which approximately only S50.000 miles are hard surfaced. It li. estimated 50,000 miles may be placed in and maintained under the I nproved classification each year un-Yer- the newly proposed Federal I'if'iwkv Commission.

This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu tralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder dis orders.
