NEW HIGHWAYS TO LINK THE
NATION.
Akron, Ohio, June 5.—An interest
ing account is given by the Firestone
News Service in a special dispatch
just released, of the accomplishment
soon to be realized whereby the large
cities of the nation will be linked up
by a network of improved highways
which will, at the same time, take in
all cities and towns of any import
ance.
An analysis of the improved high
way system for 35 states shows that
of 1,100 cities of more than 5,000
population, all but 50 lie directly in
the path of the system and it is said
that at least 90 per cent of the total
population live within ten miles of
some route on these highways.
An outstanding achievement in
this direction has been the work done
in selecting the roads to constitute
the federal aid highway system. This
hfis been done in accordance with the
provisions of the federal highway act
which require that a system of roads
consisting of not more than seven
per cent of the total rural mileage
in each state be designated, and that
all federal aid be spent on such a
system.
The total mileage of rural roads
in the United States, as certified to
by the various states, is 2,859,575,
which will limit the federal aid high
way system to 200,170 miles. At the
end of the fiscal year thirty-five state
systems, comprising 11.G95) miles, had
been approved by the secretary of
agriculture, and it was not thought
likely that the initial program will
exceed 180,000 miles.

A Father’s Love
Those of us who have children must think—do think—of the
time when we shall occupy that silent home in the cemetery and of
what is happening to the loved ones left behind. What a beneficent
thing is life insurance. How it enables us to live in the hearts of
those we must leave, as inevitably as the truest thing we know. One
father would be oh so happy if he could look back today. He was a
prosperous manufacturer in a small western city. He thought well
of the new Trust Policy introduced by the New York Life in March
1922, for the payment of a regular monthly income to the beneficiary
and, in addition, payments on the birthday of the beneficiary, and at
Christmas time each year, for twenty years after he passed on.
The first such death claim has just been settled. There were
three policies of $10,000 each, in force only 1 year, 2 months and 19
days, made payable to each daughter as follows:
$50.00 a month for twenty years.
$25.00 at each Christmas for twenty years, and
$27.50 at each birthday of the daughter for twenty years.
How well he provided for everything. Each revives a flood of
memories. Let's call the daughters by name. Ethel’s birthday, she’s
20, is October 14. Elizabeth, 17, September 4. Mary, 12, April 22.
On each of those birthdays the mail man brings a birthday check.
At each Christmas time a Christmas check. And every month for 20
years a check for $50 to each daughter—think of it, every month for
twenty years.
Can you imagine anything that will more fittingly perpetu
ate the memory of a loving parent than some such arrangement
as this?

They can be laid in a small fraction of the

In spite of their low cost Carey Roll Roof

Carey Roll Roofings represent the LOWEST
