Ts "With a seventyâ€"five million dollar road building contract well under way in Cuba, the opening of a 300â€"mile road in Brazil, linking Rio de Janeiro and San Paulo and the unouncdllefl of a projected superâ€"highway in the Argentine Republic to connect Buenos Aires with Rosarie, 350 miles away, it becomes evident that the long struggle of great cities as well as the more isolated districts to break loose from their bondage caused by lack of sufficient and adequate lanes of ‘travel is beginning to be felt around the world. New and rich agricultural districts are being opened t T oc ea o on e en at t ce u8 up, and scenes of greatest beauty and interest are being made accessible to the traveler," says Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. Important Link "The Havanna Evening Telegram of May 19 says: ‘Tomorrow section No. 6 of the central highway between Marianao and Guanajay will be inâ€" augurated by President Machado. The opening of the Marianaoâ€"Guanajay section marks the completion of an important link in the great central highway system planned by General Carlos Miguel de Cespedes in accordâ€" ance with the project outlined by President Machado in the early period of his administration as president of Cuba. The plan worked out by the secreâ€" tary of public works is simple, but conceived on broad lines.‘ The article then goes on to say that the plan consists of a central highway exâ€" tending the length of the island, with connecting highways extending from the main stem to all the cities and ports of Cuba. This is in accordance with the presidents‘ policy of developâ€" ing the agriculture and commerce of the republic and stimulating the tourâ€" ist movement to Cuba. When comâ€" pleted, the main ‘highway will be about 700 miles long, which, in conâ€" junetion with the 4,269 miles of branch roads, will make a grand total of 5,469 miles of modern highways, to be constructed at an estimated cost of $75,000,000. "A maximum of five per cent has been fixed for grades, and in the maâ€" jority of cases three per cent will not be exceeded. Along level stretchâ€" es the minimum radius of eurves will be 650. and on mountain roads 325 feet; but in no case will a curve radius be less than 150 feet. Width Is 66 Feet "One of the most interesting feaâ€" tures of this highway," says Mr. Hayes, is the fact of its width, which will be 66 feet. Practically all grade crossings at railroads will be elimâ€" inated by overhead or subway crossâ€" ings; danger signals will be devised so that foreigners who do not unâ€" derstand Spanish will know what they "An announcement by the Pan American Union states that the new highway in Brazil stands as a monuâ€" ment of progress. It links two of Brazil‘s greatest cities by a 300â€"mile modern road. For years, construction‘ work at different points has been carâ€" ried on, but it remained for the sumâ€" mer of 1928 to see the highway an accomplished undertaking. Rio de Janeiro has nearly a million and a half people, while the population of San Paulo is far above half a million. With the opening of this new highâ€" way, a rich and prosperous region of Brazil adopts modern methods of transportation, as well as creates a new and fagcinating tourist route from the capital of the nation to the capital of coffeelandâ€"San Paulo.

SAYS FARM HOUSE NOW GETS MORE ATTENTION Magazine Says Barn No Longer Most Important Building carefully built structure on the Ameriâ€" be responsible but it is certain today can farm, today is of no more importâ€" ance than the house. This emergence of the farmhouse, for years a neglected feature on many cared for building, is emphasized in a discussion of the residential value of the modern American farm in the Farm and Fireside magazine for May. Farmers, as well as their wives, are in many cases realizing that the farm is capable of being an excellent place to live today, and not merely a place of hadship and work without recreaâ€" "An item of importance," says the magazine, "is the residential value of farms. This concerns the farm as a place to live, for agrieulture is today both a business and a mode of life." Right along with the value of a farm as a productive tract of ground the prospective farm buyer today conâ€" siders school, church and social faciliâ€" ties of the. neighborhood, neighbors and the general healthfulness for his family, says the magazine. The fact that a delegate to the conâ€" vention is uninstructed doesn‘t mean that nobody can tell him anything.

Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Disâ€" tributors of America, declared in an address recently. "The movies, by showing every American the comforts he can have if he combines work with thrift, launch a sales impulse that seems to me inâ€" calculable," Hays said. "With the moâ€" tion picture we are selling America to itself."
