Paved highways on the State sys-

In addition to the “gap’’ program
a similar special program covering
156 miles of new construction was
laid out, estimated to cost $6,000,-

the “gap” schedule.
State-Aid
State-aid appropriations adminis-
red by the Department in 1927-
which was
allocated to 66 counties. Counties
of the seventh and eighth classes
received improvements on the basis
of 65-35 per cent. with the State
paying the larger share. In all oth-
er counties the ratio was 50-50.
A special-aid appropriation of
$7,000,000 was made available to
the counties on the same basis as
State-aid.
Fifty grade crossings were elim-
inated at a cost of $3,816,870.73,
while 14 dangerous overhead or
undergrade structures, separating
the highway and railroad tracks,
was reconstructed at a cost of
$650,000,

May Be to Save 50 Years
The average time it takes a fast
railroad train to pass a crossing is
seven seconds.
Yet more than 7000 automobil-
ists were killed at grade crossings
last year. They couldn’t wait even
seven seconds.
They will wait where they are
until Gabriel blows his trumpet, for
there is no way of beating that.
What are seven seconds in the
life of a motorist?
To lose them may be to save fif-

Lawns Need Good Care
Close mowing of the lawn during
hot, dry weather is inadvisable, for
a fair length of growth is needed
to shade- the roots and prevent their
being scorched. The mower blades
should be set high and the lawn
mowed frequently so the clippings
will not be too long.

ADVERTISING
Advertising and not competition
is now the life of trade, according
to the advertising experts who met
to attend the International Adver-
tising Association convention. The
delegates at this meeting heard a
number of interesting things.
Among these was the statement
by Charles Stelzle, New York ex-
pert, to the effect that if churches
do not advertise their “ware”’—
spiritual upbuilding and moral
betterment for both the individual
and humanity—they cannot hope
to arouse interest among the mass-
es and fulfill the obligations plac-
ed upon them as parties to the
general spiritual movement.
Another speaker declared that
“advertising is greater than any
single moral force we know of to-
day. Advertising brings about
changes for the betterment of life
itself, changes which fuse into the
social and political life of the na-
ion.”

the best kind of paid publicity. In
the convention just mentioned the
delegates who were advertising ex-
perts, agreed that newspaper ad-
vertising affords the best publicity
medium for the churches and all
church activities.
Advertising is no longer a theory.
It is a science. And it pays.
