the use of women
visiting their sol

these proved that
tents and bor

until houses could

Former Governor Tener Declares It
Military Necessity to Keep
Highways in Repair.
"It is up to the federal, state and
local governments to save our high
ways," remarked John K. Tener of
Pennsylvania, former governor, presi

Industries of the country which are
supplying the needs of our men on the
battle fronts as well as the taxes of
the government and the necessities of
the men, women and children who are
keeping the wheels going at home.
"The federal government, the manu
facturer and the farmer for months
have been depending on the highways
for the transportation of enormous
amounts of materials and supplies by
motor trucks. The roads fast are
wearing down and hundreds of miles
of highways will become useless un
less the resurfacing of these roads is
encouraged so that the foundations
may be saved. In road construction,
•the principal cost Is In the foundations.
The top, or road surface, naturally Is
the first to give way, break and finally
grind up and disappear, leaving the
foundations exposed.
"Foundations costing hundreds of
millions of dollars now are in danger
of being ruined forever, when they
could be saved by proper resurfacing,
but this should be done at once or else
the costly foundations will have to be
done all over again. In some states
and localities there is a disposition to
delay work until after the war on the
theory that men and materials are
more needed in the war work. This is
a mistake which should be corrected.
Without the highways the business of
the country would be crippled. The
roads must be preserved both for war
purposes and for the safeguarding of
our industries, upon which our coun

The commandants of the camps are
as appreciative of the hostess houses

Fifty-four houses are now in use,

The work with girls is one of the
most important functions of the War
Work Council. It deals with all kinds
of work with girls. Girls in small

conditions of a country in a state of
