NO HALF ROADS IN THIS STATE Commissioner Sadler Says They Are Not a Good In vestment Now missioner Lewis department i n numerous letters new highways in ~ half sections so | road can be used while the other j half is being built is neither prac- j ticable or economical because of the general narrowness of Pennsylvania thoroughfares. In a statement issued he says. "Roads so constructed would not give satisfaction, inasmuch as it would not be possible to avoid vari able conditions in the construction of the two sides. "Contractors will bid much higher on this type of construction, because they would have to cover the length of the road twice, instead of once. Materials can only be stored in one half the road. "Especially where the road is dusty there is a marked disadvan take in using a half-wide section, because the materials become dirty, not only from the dust, but from dirt thrown up by traffic. "The congested right-of-way that Is, the small width from fence ] line to fence line, as well as width ' necessary fpr heavy grading on most j Pennsylvania roads, mitigate against half-way construction. Contractors ] would be handicapped through j traffic tying up grading operations. I And Pennsylvanian roads carry more i bridges which would have to be re built than do most other states. "Most of the construction on the State's primary system cannot be classed as resurfacing. In discuss ing the half-width idea, the only economical and reasonable way, so far as the State is concerned —and j most certainly the contractor, is to i eliminate traffic from the section j being reconstructed. Both time and i money are saved. Any other course j would be poor housekeeping." While the unequaled amount of j construction now under way in Pennsylvania has resulted in an un- i usual number of detours, the State Highway Department each week is- 1 jl THE GLOBE "Keep Your Eye on the Clock" THE GLOBE I Today | THE GLOBE'S The Clock mi 1 | says: Line 1 nous ancl I 301 Suit Campaign UlTPrijj Is Already the Most Talked About Sale in H arris^ur y m ° re | arc almost —why not protectyourself against these increases—buy NOW—today.

Americanization Thrusts Joss and Lesser Idols From Famous Mott Street Temple New York, July 23. The trans- I forming of Chinatown that has been In progress for a decade has finally thrust its Americanizing influences into the Chinese temple in Mott street, with the result that tj)e Joss | and the lesser idols have been rele gated to a dusty closet. I For years the joss was one of i Chinatown's attractions, occupying! a prominent position in the council I hall of the temple. A Christian clergyman, the Rev. j Lee To, head of the Chinese Asso- I ciation. which now holds sway in the i temple, is responsible for the re moval of the idols, which is sig- I niflcant of the present-day attitude , of the Chinese toward the old tra- . ditions. The Chinese Association is j regarded as the most powerful or- I ganization of Chinese in America. It has replaced the dramatic, though fatal method of the old Tongs with a system of mutual help founded on the most advanced American ideas of philanthropy.
