and the support of public fuvor be

Mr. Moore has n wonderful oppor

policy may be difficult, but decision is

of the Moore ndmiuUtratiou after two
others hnve deplorably failed.
The public wants notion not linste
nlong well thought-out lines, and only
thnt kind of action will justify the. faith
and confidence in Mr. Moore which the
upd this.
The report itself blinks none of the
conditions nf the problem, and the so
lution which it offers ought to commend
itself to the judgment of every disinter

lines ready for operation when the new
company has been organized.
Consequently It would seem to he the
part of wisdom to agree at the erlle.st
possible dnte on the construction of nt
Irnst one of the proposed hlgh-spred
lines. There may he a line more needed
than the one In North llroad street, but
unless that cpn be shown It would he
wpII to begin lpttlug contracts for short
sections of thnt line, so thnt work could
proceed on It continuously during the
preliminary nrrnngements for the re
organization of the whole sstpm. As
prices of construction camp dowu each
succeeding section would cost less thnn
the last, and lis the work proceeded
there would be time for making arrange
ments for the transfer of funds from
those set npnrt for other lines so that
it could be completed ns far ns origi
nally proposed. The transfer of funds
would be necessnry, for nil expenses of
construction hnve Increased since the
preliminary estimates were ninde.
t'nless some such course ns this is
adopted relief will be pushed indefinitely
into the future, while such n course
would put the city in shnpe to reap
mofe benefits from trnnsit reorganiza
tion thnn any other plan In sight. It
would mean simply enrrying two proj
ects abend nt the same time nnd nd
Justing them In such a wny that they
would be consummated together.
In the nicnntime the city should be
grateful to the public-spirited citizens
who hnve courageously handled a diffi
cult and complicated problem.

' THE GOWNSMAN
The Way to Dollar
THEIIE nro three ways to Dollar, nnd
n fourth which you think, denr
render. Is the wny Is. not n way nt nil :
for Dollar hns nothing to do with what
you think It hns to do. Now if you live
in the Vllln of Hnrvcftoun. In the
flower gnrden, through which dashes
whenever It rnlns n delightful little
bourn speaking of the joys of the hills
if you live in the Vllln of Hnrvestoun.
even there, there come times when you
feel that you must nway from Its blos
soms nnd its cool green shndows, its
miniature stretches of turf nnd the
Portuguese laurel which spreads its
dnrk varnished brandies over the lower
enves nt the hack of the house. And
you bethink you of the wny to Dollar;
for from Hnrvestoun one nlwnys goes to
Dollar, Stirling with its castle being far
off the other wny.
fTlHE first of the roads to Dollar goes
forthright, passing in front of the
house to the left ns you go out. It Is
good, hnrd, maendam, straight, well
graded and properly ditched, nnd It
reaches the heart of the town with ex
pedition as It fades imperceptibly Into
the High street, lly this wny go the
big conches which ply between Dollar
nnd Stirling, passing Tillicoultry by the
way. which Is busy nnd dirty. On
this road Is the kirk of the mild lleht
nnd also n chnpel of the "new
darkness," ns "a bitter speaking body
o' Dollar" once cnllcd we shnll not
Inquire what new sect. The jienvily
burdened nnd the weary travel this rond
whether they come out of Dollar or go
thither. And any man, Inquired of on
this high road, will tell you thnt this Is

WE PA Y FOR GOOD ROADS
Two Hundrdd and Thirty Projects on Pennsylvania Pihcs
Necessitate Exactly That Number of Detours
PART of the cost the people of Penn
sylvnnln nre paying for durable roads
is the occasional iuconvcnicnce to whieli
they nre put when they trnvel the de
tours made necessary by new construc
tion. Contractors nre now at work on ap
proximately 23(1 projects in various por
tions nf Pennsylvania. Each con
struction project necessitates n detour.
These' detours arc of necessity over
roads which will bring tho traveler hack
to the main highway ns quickly ns pos
sible, lu many iustances these detour
ing thoroughfares nre state highways,
but in the majority of cases they are
merely township ronds Niich roads ns
were to be found everywhere in Penn
sylvania not so very ninny jears ago.
THE ordinary township rond is not
capable of carrying modem traffic.
It is usually an earth road. The pas
sage of motortrucks of great weight
quickly cuts the thoroughfare to pieces.
After even n light rain the roadway is
deeply rutted. The continual passing
of trucks in these ruts creates a condi
tion which nrouses tlie ire of the drivers
of nil enrs. They complain thnt the
state Highway Department does not
maintain these detour roads as they
should be nmi nt dined.
As n matter of fact, the department
under the law may not spend money on
such hleliu-nrs. The unkeen of these
I township roads Is a matter for the town
ship supervisors or tlie county authori
ties, whoimay aid the township super
visors with tiuanclul contributions If
thty see til.
TtHK inconvenience met by travelers
because of the scores of detours in
I Pensylvnnia enn be offset by patience.
It is not possible to rebuild u rond nnd
use it at the siime time. Topographical
conditions in Pennsylvania make it im
practicable to cbnstruct hulf of our new
rouds nt a time. Themi things being
true, it follows that in order to secure
durable thoroughfares there must be
detours.
It should be the aim of the township
and eounty authorities to assist the
state Highway Department in properly
i caring for the immense traffic which is
using all of the main thnrougiuores In
Pennsylvania. The traveling public
itself, considering the fact thnt the
commonwealth is at tremendous ex-
nense constructing a s.vstem of main

I ronus win. ii nni r ,,u.iuw,t- ,., uujii
each year, snouiu exenuse pnuence.
THE stale Highway Department each
week bulletins the detours which
have been established during that ueek.
From time to time it gives detailed in
fovii'tttion concerning all of the detotjrs
which will be found on particular truns
I'ennsylvania routes. For example, it
will name the locations of detours be
tween Erie und Dorrlshiirg via lirook
ville and Lewlstown. These bulletins
are moiled to a thousand garages and
to every daily newspaper m IVnnsyl
vania. ns well as to motor clubs, cham
bers of commerce nml similar organiza
tions There is, therefore, no reason why a
traveler over Pennsylvania rouds need
begin a journey ignorant of the detours
which lie will encouu'er before he
readies his destination The depart
ment bulletins ull of this information
for tlie reason that it wishes to give the
traveler advance information as to what
he will tind. And knowing thnt be
tween certain towns lie will encounter
certain detours, the tinveler, the de
partment believes, meels the ineouveni
ence in a better frame of miml tint ii were
he lo come unexpectedly upon the diffi
cult goiug.
TIIEHE nre very few diiections in
which a Pennsylvania traveler may
go without encountering th.se detours.
This condition will exist not only during
the coming summer, hut during the sum
mers of 1021 nnd 1022. Conditions h.ls
summer. In so for ns detours are con
cerned, will not be nu improvement over
those of 1010. The man who drives a
truck or passenger car for any distance
will eventually be dc.jourcd over a town
ship road. This is an absolute cer
tnlntv. He will find that the sldo road
nine 'times out of ten is not in good
condition when compared with I he, ma
jority of state highway routes, nut
the detour road is only nn ordinary
township rond. It is not worse than
thn grenter number nf township ronds.
The difficulty with it is thnt It is not
capable of standing up under modern
traffic methods.
This fact should be recognized by all
thosj who use our highways, The ny

conveniences. The situation is not one
peculiar to Pennsylvania, but Is met
with throughout (he United States. No
other commonwealth marks the detours
so thoroughly as Pennsylvania nor
makes a greater effort to have the road
ways kept up. In tlila It should have
the co-operation of tlie locnl author
ities. Just ns the travpler remembers tho
rough, uneven liighwuys in Fomp Iso
lated borough, bo does he remember bnd
detours over township ronds, nnd
charges fhem in his memory against
the account of the authorities, who owe
it to travelers to maiutnln these roadi

to "European entanglements" do not

rplIE skylark's wing delights the.4 sky,
Makes leaden clouds to smile ;
Its azure-tenored melody
Embosses nil worth while;
And though 'twould love to scatter mirth
O'er eternal rouds sublime,
Yet sad that beautlea such on earth
Must course their end sometime.
The rivulet's thirst-quenching flow
Delightsome wafts the strains
That, kissed and graced by stellar glow,
Fill zephyr-sprinkled lanes;
And though 'twere well that it be so
For nges on Hud on.
Yet this delight must sometimes go
Among tlie joys bygone.
Tho moon -singed road lends up the trail
Where whvh each russet lip
It lays a kiss on ov'ry dale
Passed on its winding trip;
And though 'twould do this o'er an o'er
Much to Its glad delight,
Yet time enn see when It no more
Shnll be a pleasing site.
The spiral fumes rise lazily
From oceau-greyhound stacks,
And curling skyward hazily
They source cye-pKuising tracks;
And though this were their one great
. Joy
Which Ood to them did send,
Yet time shall come nnd such destroy
For all must toward nu end.
The blushing rose perfumes the vnlc
With heav'nly fragrpnt scent,
And zephyr-borne, it molds a trail
Where bluebirds nest content ;
And though to have this ever be
Were gladsome and divine,
Yet naught lasts through infinity
Though snul-Icased to Ills shrine.
And like the skylark nnd the rose,
The rivulet nnd rond,
Love, heaven-born, must take repose
'Pon quondam Joy-reaped ond;
And though 'twere well thnt Love

Eternal and sublime,
Yet, Loyo of Mine, alas) for me,
Slttst end by will of time", .
