PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ROADS TO BE INSPECTED Indianapolis, May 22. —Secondary roads in the Indiana highway system are rapidly responding to continued maintenance and in many sections of this state pleasure motorists say they prefer them to rigid types. This statement was made by members of the state highway commission following a tour of fourteen state roads in northern and western Indiana. The commission is this week inspecting primary and secondary roads in other localities with a view of deciding upon its 1923 building program. On these trips highway officials not only view the' condition of state roads, note work in progress, but as far as possible get in personal touch jivith people of the localities in order to learn first hand how State-maintained roads are meeting traffic requirements. On a recent tour the commission followed state road 31 from Danville to Montazuma; 10 to Covington; 33 to Attica; 9 to near Kentland; 7 and 8 to near Wheatfield in Porter county; 50 to North Judson; 15 to Knox; 44 to Plymouth; 1 (Range Line) to South Bend; 2 (Lincoln highway) through Elkhart to Goshen, and about half way to Fort "Wayne. The return was via 27 through Warsaw, North Manchester and Silver Lake, thence to Peru and from Peru to Indianapolis over the Range Line. From Ligonier to Fort Wayne the state highway department has practically rebuilt with gravel a section of more than 30 miles of the Lincoln highway. The maintenance division now has this stretch in such shape that it truthfully can be called a boulevard, highway officials Say. According to citizens of Fort Wayne and Ligonier, parts of this road were impassable last year. The commission has assured the citizens now since it has been taken into the System, it will be kept an all-year road until such time it is possible to give it a hard surface pavement. ' In the 540-mile trip highway officials say they found only a few bad places in the secondary roads. In nearly all cases this was close to the larger cities where s truck traffic is heaviest. Some of the real bad spots noted are due, the commission says, to inferior drainage. This is being remedied and the roads widened and ditched as fast as farmers enroute move back the line fences. Persons interviewed along the various highways traversed are frank to say that roads in the state system are today better than ever before, and according to highway officials, they freely credit the improvement to constant maintenance and patrol. These roads are dragged often as three and four times each week. o CLAIMS BY COMMISSION A bulletin sent out by the fctate highway commission among other things says: . “From Ligonier to Fort Wayne the state highway department has practically rebuilt with gravel a section of more than 30 miles of Lincoln highway.

According to citizens of Fort Wayne and Ligonier parts of this road were impassable last year. * The commission has assured the J citizens now since it has been taken into the system it will be « kept an all year road until such ' time it is possible to give it a hard surface pavement.” One would think from reading 1 the above that the road referred to had just been taken into the • state systemi when as a matter ‘ of fact the Lincoln highway was the first to be designated. Further on the bulletin con- ' tinues: “The commission some time this week will travel the Lincoln 1 highway between Ligonier and Fort Wayne, and determine if this section of approximately 30 miles now a fine stretch of gravel boulevard will be included in the highway program of hard surface roads for 1923.” RESERVATIONS AT THE DUNES SUMMER CAMP Indianapolis, May 20. —Many persons interested in preserving a part of the dunes of Northern . Indiana for a public park, have made reservations at the Dunes Summer Camp, promoted by the Dunes Park Committee of the Indiana Federation of Clubs,' state department of conservation officials cooperating, said today.

' quaintly written/ report of the ( entombment services takes up less than a column on the inside pages. Editors at that time, before, and forever will be pestered with amateur verse writers. One of them got by the editor of this paper, perhaps she was a relative, at least, her so-called poem on General Washington appears in one corner of the third page. Advertisements on the back of the pages shown in the window are interesting and amusing. Orfe man advertises for sale a “stout, healthy, active negro wench,” and the printers tell the subscribers that they have “wrapping, writing and bonnet paper” o to sell. Sheriff’s sales predominate among the ads, and there are two or three bankruptcy notices, indicating that business was not all that it should be in 1800. The stores promise to make sales for either cash or country produce. Matys Van Steenbergh tells the cold world that he won’t be responsible for his wife’s debts. There was not much organization in the ad department,, for notices of the loss and the finding of the same heifer appear in the issue. Apparently the printer believed in getting the money going and coming. .— —o LET’S LIVE TO BE 100 Seme one has said that it costs more to live than it used to, but it is worth a lot more.

L HEALTH IN THE COUNTRY I 1 _____ It has been claimed that the physical examinations for the selective draft revealed that the country boys as a whole did not show’ up as well as those from the cities. While some may doubt this assertion, yet many country fellows did not have the fine physical condition that could be expected. The defects from which they suffered were mostly needless, as country life offers the best chances for good physical development. Many country children do not get the attention that they need ■to remove defects. Many are mouth breathers, many need slight operations for throat trouble, or they should have dental work done, or they may need to wear spectacles. The pure air of the country can do wonders, if it has a chance, but parents and school authorities must see that their youngsters have modern health care.
