Two Extremes
President Angell of Yale said at a
New Haven party:
“We have almost too many colleges
in America: Tusculam college, Woo
ford. Chieora, Tarkio, Pomona, Kenka,
Coker—queer places, some of theft?,
must be. England, on the other hand,
has too few colleges—Oxford and
Cambridge only.
“Oxford and Cambridge stand so
high in the English schoolboy’s mind
that if you ask him what air is com
posed of, instead of answering that ft
i/' composed of oxygen and hydrogen
iie will probably say:
" ‘Oxygen and eambridgen.’ ”

Building Far
Behind the
Automobile
(Millions now recognize
the automobile as a ne
cessity. It is no longer a
luxury for the few. Sixty
per cent of its use is tor
! business.
Becausa of this the mod
ern paved highway has
become en economic ne
cessity.
Yet although the mileage of
Concrete Roads and Streets has
been stttdily increasing, our
highway tsystem today lags far
behind the automobile. The
great majority of our highways
are as out c3 date as the single
track, nan ow gauge railway of
City years ago.
Such a condition not only seri
ously handicaps the progress of
the automobile as a comfortable,
profitable means of transporta
tion, but also holds back com
mercial, industrial and agricul
tural advancement in practically
every section of the country. It is
costing taxpayers millions of dol
lar t annually.
Highway building should bo |
continued and enlarged upon.
Your highway authorities are
ready to carry on their share ol
this great public work. But they
must have your support. Tell
them you are ready to invest in
more and wider Concrete High
ways now.
