The Pan-American 1 Road Congress, which is to meet In 1 Buenos Aires, October 3. at the in- 1 vitation of the Argentine govern- 1 inent, has for one of its objects the 1 construction of a Pan-American high- 1 way which will unite the countries that compose the Pan-American union The United States and a score o( 1 other American republics will have 1 representatives at the meeting. i These plans for highway systems < connecting points thousands of miles i distant direct attention to the long 1 journeys that are now taken in auto- t mobiles. It has become a common- t place matter for motorists to cross '| the United States. The network of j roads mapped out at the Washington < meeting provides eight transconti- > nental routes from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific and nine from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. Even in the < Ohl World, where progress in road i building is far behind that in America. 1 long automobile journeys are being t taken, one of the current magazines, t tor example, describing a motor trip < from Western Europe to India. 1 The Washington committee did 1 well in arranging to mark the inter- I state routes designated with uniform signs. Some private associations of highway promoters have done this in I Hie case of such interstate roads as c the Lincoln Highway and the Susquehanna Trail, and it has served a good < purpose, guiding motorists through r towns and past intersections and 1 making it unnecessary to stop and inquire directions. The plans prepared at Washington I will not be carried into effect, of course, for some time. It is not to $ be imagined that in a few months I there will be eight unbroken ribjions of pavement extending from coast to | coast. Not even the Lincoln High- j way has been paved in its entirety, although it has been a well-traveled transcontinental route for a number, of years. Only a program has been prepared by the Interstate Highway Board, but in its adoption a step has been taken in the facilitation of long distance motor travel. There is an inspiration which comes fro mthc life of Mrs. Porter which, it properly taught will make every boy and girl feel more certain of his ability to lick the world. Those who knew the Limberlost thirty or forty years ago never saw hidden there the wonderful stories which Mrs. Porter found, never looked upon it as a thing of beauty, never imagined that the telling of the love mating of the bees, birds, moths, insects, squirrels and animals would bring to any person a fortune and fame. But it did. Mrs. Porter saw it, loved it, wrote it and millions have read the story. Indiana has produced many authors, but few of them found the plots and the characters for their work right in their own back yard. There should be a Limberlost Trail, through this city where the talenfed woman came as a bride down to the''"log cabin known as Limberlost Cabin and on through the territory where a few 1 years ago extended the wildest marsh , lu all Hoosierdom. The story ol Mrs. i

Won’t you help do it? The Northern Indiana Pair is in progress and its a good fair. No one can control weather and there is no doubt that the rains of the early part of the week took away some of the interest and prevented some of the exhibits/ from coming, but a walk through the fair grounds here will convince you that we live in the best county in all the world, where we raise the finest crops, where we have Food schools and where live the finest people. A good fair is a fine thing and will never become unpopular. We believe that an association should be made which will include every township of the county and arrangements made to hold each year a great agricultural fair. If you have missed the fair, get ready to go tomorrow for you will enjoy it. The new turbine for the city plant has been ordered and will be installed within a few weeks, completing an equipment, equalled by few and excelled by none. This city will then be able to furnish plenty of light, power and water at a very low cost and the splendid thing about it is that the improvements have been 'paid for from the receipts of the department. This will soon be a model city in many ways and you are all going to be mighty proud of it. The autumn season is here and every outlook is for a rushing business. With every factory running full time, the sugar factory to open within a short time, with crops good and prices fair this should be a rec-ord-breaking year. You can help by being cheerful, by spreading the good ; news that times are better and by building. Go to the fair and have a good time. It helps you to forget the serious side of life and play once in a while. You will have a good time and it doesn’t hurt to let go of yourself now and then, throw away dignity and just be a youngster again. o X Big Features Os f j RADIO J Programs Today f Thursday’s Five Best Radio Features Copyright 1925 by United Press KGO.

ditioned. In returning the stolen star, the guilty party wrote a letter, addre,ss»-ri < to Admiral I, R. de Steiguer, in whicih he said: “Seeing by the papers that there is a movement on foot to repair and preserve ‘Old Ironsides.' I am moved to the confession of the following crime In order that by so doing I may b" enabled to help in the most aludable j work. “Know then: In the summer of 1885, when An my second practice cruise from Annapolis, being that year on the U. S. S. Jamestown,-! did go aboard the Constitution in the navy yard at Kittery, Me., and did thenmaliciously and feloniously and solely because of the devil who in my early, years did often take up his residence withlrf me. -unscrew and pry from her wheel abaft the quarterdeck a brass star; which same star, being still in my possession, a nd being moved after 40 years by a spirit of penitence. I am sending you this by mail in a separate box in order that It be restored to its original position."

Lieut John A.

your milkman even for leaving sour cream, lest you fin 1 yourself having to live <-u the canned article, them ployers charged. The whole story may be laid before a grand jury with a request that the union heads be indicted for intimidation. according to G. L. Hostetter, executive secretary of the Employers' association. In his public charge j Hostetter cited the case of Hayt public school where he said the I’arentT< achcr assoc’ation was unable to buy milk in large quantities from any city dairy because of a complaint turned in by the drivers. Average Man Soon Will Live To Be 70 By Charles li. Mayo. M..U. Member Gorgas Memorial Institute (United j’ress Staff Correspondent) Chicago. Sept. 17.— (United Press) —ln the past twenty five years more has* b«en accomplished in medicine than in aH the centuries before. Scientific medicine has done about all it can for the mass diseases, now prac-

tically gone, which helped to frighten and destroy the people by tens of thousands / in the fourteenth century forty million people died of the plague. There was only one way of escaping it. and that, was for people to leave their homes and run away in places free from it. in the eighteenth century many millions, -probably one hundred millions died of nothing but smallpox. Today each plan is dying his individual death, and it is up to us to sec if ' we cannot reach him in some manner and persuade him that it. is worth i while, when he is still vigorous, to lear nto keep his machinery from go . ing to pieces from neglect. > In the sixteenth century, man had ? but twenty years of average life. It i is fifty-eight today, and you wonder i whether you will be able to reach the c three score and ten of the Bible. We J | hope to be able to do that from a.

medical standpoint within the next twenty-five or fort yyears. It Is coming. We know it is coming. Oqr problem is advancing the age of our people by teaching men, women and children the art of keeping well. There are thousands of deaths annually, which, with reasonable precaution, could be prevented. This means that society is not availing itself of the medical knowledge already at Jts disposal. Os the 3.000.000 people On the nation’s sick list every day, one-fourth to one-third are needlessly so. To combat this unnecessary suffering and waste of human resources, to induce better health and longer lives, a campaign of health education such ns is now being undertaken by the Gorgas Memorial institute is of the highest value. An important phase of the work is the periodic health examination or health audit, the only known way of discovering certain incipient diseases before the individual realizes anything is wrong. In the beginning, Bright's disease, apoplexy, and high blood pressure are usually symptomless to their victim. But discovered in time by the health audit and by following the advice of the doctor you are put on the road to recovery before your vital organs are wrecke dbeyond repair. Take as good care of your health as you
