United States Army: "Permanent highways of the most durable construction are of great im i portance in war especially in modern war, when roads must be so construct -1 ed as to stand the heaviest traffic. "It is particularly important that they be constructed iit such areas as will make them of military value. "TJre first roads should be along our sea coasts —especially in the vital areas where there is great wealth and i mechanical industry. Then should ' come the roads along; our main land i frontiers. | "It would be of greatest value to the country if State authorities and the \ National government, especially the j military arm. could act in the fullest co-operation in this great work, in • 1 order that the maximum result, both from the industrial and military stand point, could be obtained with the .; money spent." • Prompt Mobilization Martin G. Brumbaugh, Governor of Pennsylvania, says: "Prompt mobilization of the troops of this country at any strategic point is essential to any effective prepared ' ness for National defense. "This mobilization cannot be ac ' complislied successfully without the ' establishment of great trunk-line highways, over which artillery as well ! as infantry could pass speedily and \ safely. ! "It is therefore in the interests of I the nation in every crisis, as well us | In the Interests of Its normal Industrial development, to establish great trunk i lines of highways radiating in every ; direction and focusing at strategic points; and any propaganda of this ; sort should receive the cordial sup port of patriotic and right-thinking citizens."

April .—ln this age-of wonderful achievements, a frost-proof corn is among the pos sibilities of attainment. When a corn is bred that will withstand spring and fall frosts and grow at low temperatures, like rye, the reign and territory of King Corn will be extended and his powers increased. Recent work of the Office of Corn Investigations, Bureau of Plant In dustry, U. JS. Department of Agri culture, indicates the possibilities of producing varieties of frost-proof corn and varieties th%t will continue growth at low temperatures. Some kinds of corn have ben found to withstand freezing, both in the spring and in fall, and after wards continue tagrow. Still more encouraging is the fact that some in dividual plants of these hardy va rieties are more enduring than other plants of the same variety. At the first signs of spring, with patches of snow still on the ground, seed of these varieties has beeri planted and Ijls shown ability to withstand frozen ground and spring frosts and ultimately fo yield well. Planted in February, 1917, plants which were several inches high with stood a freeze of March 5, which froze the ground to a depth of two inches. Of still more importance than the possibilit yof producing frost-proof corn is the possibility of producing varieties of corn that will continue to thrive and produce grain at lower temperatures than existing varieties. There is much territory with long frost-free periods, where, during nights or for several weeks during the growing season, temperatures re main too low for ordinary varieties of corn to grow. C. P. Hartley, in charge of corn investigations, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Seven Sons Killed, Parents End Lives Munich, April 10.—Crazed by the loss of their seven sons, the last one of whom was killed on the western front recently, Frank Riegelmann, an aged stonemason of Kempten, and his wife have ended their lives.

"Pennsylvania and, in fact, the en- HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH tiro United States, has not taken to heart the road lesson to be learned In war-stricken Europe. Ilad a systema tic observation of the effect of war traffic on highways "been made from the time that hostilities started, road builders in this country would have been- in a far better position to plau for a condition which appears incvlt jable at the present time. Good Roads Necessary | Robert S. Spangler, chairman, Good ! Roads Committee, Assembly of Penn sylvania, says: j "In reply to your letter requesting that-1 set forth an opinion of the value lof Permanentized Trans-continental Highways to the United States for this nation at war. I will say that a mili tary critic is not needed to outline the 1 necessity of good roads comiiiunlcat ing with the Eastern seaboard in the event of war or invasion with any first-class foreign power. I sincerely believe tliat, in the event of war with Germany and the defeat of the Eng lish Meet, this country would find itself in a deplorable state because It would be lacking in one of the most essential needs for the conduct of military oper ations, namely, great arterial roads over which heavy artillery and muni tions of war might be speedily trans ported. ,- l feel that the construction of good roads Is one of the most necessary fac tors of military preparedness of tho present day." Food Smuggled in Musical Instruments Vevey, Switzerland. April 10.—One of the frontier guard posts was thrown into an uproar a few days ago when jphat has since been referred to as "the greatest smuggling scheme" practical ly betrayed itself to the officials. The members of the Mannheim orchestra, returning to Germany after a touii of German Switzerland with Herr Richard Strauss, were the perpetrators. Customs guards examjning the bag gage of the tourists noticed peculiar smells emanating from the various mu sical instruments carried by the party. Trombones exhaled the odor of sau sage; tubas smelled like smoked meats and 'cellos seemed to have changed their resinous odor for that of rare cheese. No careful examination was needed to develop the fact that the musicians had stuffed their instruments with del icacies of every description. The food was confiscated and the tourists repri manded. Clock Varies But One Second in 15,000 Days Berlin, April 10. —The most perfect clocks are used in astronomical obser vations. One of these in Berlin has run for months, with an average error of one-fifteen-thousands of a second a day. In order to run so perfectly, a clock must not only bo constructed and adjusted with the greatest care, but must be installed in a special room, such as an underground vault, where the temperature is practically uniform. It must also be free from jar or vi bration, and must, therefore, be mount ed on a heavy masonry pier. Lastly, if should always be kept under -{he same barometric pressure, and this may be effected by inclosing it in a glass or metal case, from which the air is par tially exhausted.

Now Peanut Is Called "War Bride" New Castle. Pa., April 10.—The war is sending the prices of peanuts up | rapidly, according to W. H. Glenn, a I local merchant. | "Peanuts are being used to make some kind of oil that is used in man ufacturing explosives, and they arc aiso being used to make synthetic milk," Glenn says. "On top of this the price of paper bags has increased sev eral hundred per cent., so that the pea nut business has been hard hit by the war." ST. LOUIS TRAVELS SAFELY THROUGH NEST OF U-BOATS j | American Liner Escapes Harm! While Nearby Boats Sink , . By Associated Press New York, April 10.— Running safely through the dangers of the German submarine blockade of Great Britain and without sighting a peri scope, the American liner St. Louis arrived here to-day. The St. Louis was the first American passenger boat, to be armed and travel through the | danger zone around the British Isles since Germany's declaration of Jan uary 31. The homeward voyage was a stormy one. A hundred miles off-lhc coast of Ireland a gale threatened the destruction of the life boats, which had been partly lowered, and it be came necessary to lie to for two hours while they were made secure. This was an anxious time as the stop was made directly in the path of German submarines returning to theii; home base. "If I were hunting for submarines I could not have picked a more likely place to find them," said a naval offi cer on board. Saved By Good Luck Now that the American ship has completed her memorable voyage it la possible to tell how good luck prob ably saved her from destruction on her eastward trip. Running at full ■peed during the night with the coast of Ireland and its submarine-Infested waters still In the distance, the "S. O. S." calls of ships in distress came to the wireless operator of the St. LOUIH. A ship had been torpedoed about 75 miles ahead of the St. Louis and directly in her path. Soon an other call for help showed that an other steamer had met the same fate a hundred miles south, while later a third told of the destruction of a British boat far to the westward out of the war zone, and in the path the St. Louis had traveled. The St. Louts arrived oft tho bar of tho Mersey before dawn. There was no pilot boat at hand and the American liner was compelled to steam outside the bar, where It was known a German submarlre had been working the night before until driven away by patrol boats.
