FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1940 Aiong the Line by John e. | The Red Cross reports a 65 per cent increase in two years in the number of students taking courses in f irst aid to the injured. The scene where somebody is badly hurt has become a too fam iliar picture in American life. In count less cases people are picked up along the side of the road critically injured in an automobile accident. The people who gather around them are excited and eager to help, but they may do the wrong thing. Accidents are incessantly happen ing in homes, and people may not know what to do until the doctor can get there. The Red Cross comes like a good angel, to tell people what is the intelligent and skilful thing to do. Lives will be saved as the re sult of the practical ideas they sug- 'gest. When the World war ended, each of the warring nations planned to honor the grave of one unknown soldier who had given his life in a war which was supposed to life hu manity to a new level of happiness. On the Armistice day just passed the United States was the only gov ernm ent which fired salutes to honor the grave of its unknown soldier. In all the rest, the hopes and dreams of 22 years ago seemed to have gone up in bitter smoke. The unknown soldier’s grave was regarded as a symbol that the .whole nation united to honor every man who laid down his life for his coun try. It will take more than willing ness to safrifice one’s life to real ize the ideal for which the unknown soldier died. It will take a new kind of world, in which wrongs shall be righted, and nations agree to live in fraternity and mutual helpfulness. Well, the Office M anager is spending the afternoon at the bar bershop. Will someone kindly tell me what there is permanent about a permament? Youth of 8 Knows Ail About Nation’s Railroads ABERDEEN, WASH.—The mind of freckle-faced Hugh Delanty, eight, runs to railroads. So strongly does it turn in this direction that Hugh can nam e al m ost every railroad line in the Unit ed States, the term inals, im p o rtant stops, fastest trains, and even such technical details as the amount of grease they use in the stuffing boxes. National railroad executives a re on his mailing list, for he conducts reg ular correspondence with some of the most im p o rtant men in the in dustry. He writes for m aps and litera ture, asks for inform a tion on their railways and they reply readily. The youth first became interested in railroads about two years ago. Since that tim e he has filled^his rooms with books on railway history, traffic problems and geography. From this knowledge, he often in forms railroad agents here on some technical point—but he still dislikes arithm e tic classes in school. Propaganda Used 4,000 Years Ago by Egyptians CHICAGO.—Well organized na tional propaganda was in use in Egypt 4,000 years ago, according to Dr. John A. Wilson, University of Chicago Egyptologist. a paper read before the Ameri can Historical association, Dr. Wil son said the ancient Egyptians “had no idea of writing history im p artial ly.” VThe p riests alone could read,” he asserted, “ and they built up the pharaoh as a superhuman hero to receive general rew ards for their gods.” Dr. Wilson recommended the p r o ^ aganda of 2000 B. C. as effective be cause “4,000 years elapsed before the veil of untruth was penetrated and the real facts discovered.^* Recently research has disclosed the m ilitary victories of Ram eses H and Ram eses III m the Twelfth century B, C. to b e m e re propa ganda, the Chicagoan said.

Airport Device Would Nullify Enemy Airplanes SAN JOSE, CALIF.—AppHcation for a patent on a device to make it impossible for enemy airplanes to land on the aviation fields of a de fending nation has just been made by Max Watson, adult probation of ficer of this city. The device consists of a series of steel poles, encased in cylinders, embedded in vertical positions be low the surface of the airport. The pressure of a button from a central control office would release compressed air into a complicated system of piping, forcing the steel poles to jut up out of the stationary cylinders and cover the airport with a m a ss of impediments to aircraft. The' poles, Watson said, would make airplane landings on an air port so equipped impossible. Moffet field flight officers have de clared the project is feasible and it was at their suggestion that he applied for a patent. When the idea is perfected and patented he will offer it to the fed eral government. One British Soldier in 4 American Equipped, Claim NEW YORK.—One m an in every four under arm s in Great Britain “is American equipped,” Clark M. Eich- elberger, executive director of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the 'Allies, said. He declared United States ship m ents of arm s and ammunition to Britain in June were of “ even great er im portance” to Britain than the trading of 50 over-age destroy ers. During June, he said, Britain obtained 80,000 machine guns, 700 field guns, 500,000 rifles and “moun tains of ammunition” from the Unit ed States. All shipments, he declared, “were handled in strict compliance with the neutrality law.” England Goes Primitive Over Shipment of Goods FORT WORTH, TES x AS. — F o rt Worth residents have seen how Eng land is preserving its wood and met al supply. .

Real Highway Program Set Forth By Automobile Clubs • For years the automobile clubs of New York, acting as spokesmen for all car owners, have been demanding increased appropriations for roads and bridges, according to F. W. Forness, a director of the C a ttar augus County Motor Club.- It will be well to summarize brief ly, some of the (benefits of a real highway program, and set forth val ues which, beyond all questions, will accrue in some measure 'to prac tically every resident of the state. 1. Imprdved roads will decrease traffic accidents, save lives, reduce personal injuries and damage to property. 2. Improved roads will facilitate the movement of motor vehicles for all purposes and enable the products of our farm s and factories to move more economically to consumers. 3. The Transplortation system made up of motor trucks, motor buses and passenger cars, to the number of 2,750,000 will operate at lower cost and effect savings for millions of motor vehicle owners. 4. Road building vrill stimulate employment in the construction in dustries and in numerous plants in the state, furnishing raw materials and supplies for highways. 5. Improved roads will bring more tourists and travelers into New York State, increase the patronage at resorts and hotels, consume more local fa r m products and build em ployment in ^ i a n y lines. 6. Better roads and growth in traffic will improve business pros pects in all industries c^onnected with the highway transplortation: motor vehicle sales, service and au tomotive supply outlets, will pros per and employ more help while re lief costs will drop. 7. Better roads will make it pos sible to train military forces in peace time ,so that in an emergency they will be properly prepared to de fend our industrial centers, vital to the state and nation. ‘Club members, like other motor ists, are concerned about the fu ture prosperity of the state, which must be based on efficient low-cost highway transportation. (Railroads, stemships and airplanes must rely on motor vehicles to sup plement their OAvn services. We cannot have good transport by any means if passenger and freight movements over roads and streets continue to be delayed and im peded by inadequate road surfaces. Mo torists have a right to talk about roads for themselves, because they have been taxed for roads w ithout getting them.
