Whole States, Provinces and aa" ith. thoroughfares that present i oroughfares per Especially pe stretch. in flat and barren country, People are insisting that such roads shall be made attractive through the aid fJesire for speed and the wielding of momentum and velocity. To indulge his speed mania man ught with his automobile those ways that were most nearly , regardless of her the surroundings were scen- le. He was attracted by the pave- ment and not by scenery, He was satisfied if he could bore through the air in even the most desolate coun- try. But the sense of beauty has reasserted itself in the mind of the driver and his passengers. They pow are seeking not merely pave- but good roads with attrac. thelr borders. Gratification of that requirement is to be found as far north as New- foundland, Its system of roads has drawn motorists since 1924, when the chief highways were completed. In laying them, the Government's Highway Commission called for the supervision of a Dutch landscape ar they skirt the great for which the island is famous. In Massachusetts Nearer home, however, is found one of the pioneers in the movement --the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts. As early as 1921 the Massa- chusetts authorities realized that die- tinctive fence posts and gray birches could not be trusted as indexes to hidden scenery. As a result a pro- cess of landscape clearance and of systematic roadside beautification was undertaken, In Connecticut, as in Massachu- setts, roadside slopes have been seeded for grass, and in steep im- clines various vines have been plant- ed in fertile soil. Among the vines are Jap honeysuckle, the ram- bler rose and the woodbine, California is centering its program on highway beautification on El Ca- mino Real (The King's Highway), a historle thoroughfare of that State laid out by the followers of Juni pero Serra, the Franciscan Friar, to connect the twenty-one missions ly ing between San Diego and San Francisco, This movement for highway beau- tification which has spread through- out America seems destined to be- come a fixed institution in the high- way departments of the various States, Provinces and Territories, Its growth will be watched with in- creasing interest by motorists who love the artistic and the scenic in the out of doors. GERMANBEERIS BACK IN FRANCE Germany Returns Compli- ment by Becoming Best Champagne Customer Paris, France, Oct. 3--Most strik- ing evidence of improved relations and growing friendship between the hereditary foes, France 'and Ger many, is not to be found in diplo- matic agreements and pacts, but in the sober fact that Paris is going in for real German beer and vice versa, that Berlin is the best customer for French champagne.

Ryan Completes Tour of Canada in Interests of the Marketing Board (By Canadian Press) Montreal, Que., Oct. 1.--The efforts of the British Empire Mar- keting Board to encourage the purchase of empire-products in Great Britain are meeting with a generous response," said A. Ryan before he sailed for England after a three months' trip through Can- ada in the interests of the Board. "Travel in Canada is a tonic for anyone connected with the ad- vancement of trade within the Empire," Mr. Ryan remarked. "There is no country in the Em- pire more certain to startle the world by its progress in the com- ing years than is Canada," he con- tinued, "Wherever I went from At- lantic to Pacific and back, I found a spirit of robust confidence and a lusty determination to develop wisely and vigorously the still oni; guessed at riches of Canada. . "It is our job in the Empire Marketing Board to help in fur- thering the sale of Canadian and all Empire Produce in the old country, So it was most encourag- ing to find Canadian producers so keen and so thorough, The Old Country is, I think, the largest im- porter in the world and exporters everywhere have their eves on our markets, But we prefer to buy whenever we can from our fellow GERMAN AIR! CRAFT TESTS MAY TEND TOWARDS REVOLUTIONARY DESIGNS London, Sept 25.-- Experiment in commercial aireraft of a revolu- tionary design is back of the recent German tests of rocket propulsion, according to confidential informa- tion received here. The experimentation centres om an effort to get a heavily-laden commercial airplane into the air with reduced engine power--an éf- fort which, if successful, at ome step would place Germany years ahead of other countries. For it is known that it takes at least double the horsepower to get \ a big air liner off the ground than that required to maintain the same linerrat an average cruising speed once it is in flight. A Hanley-Page 16--passenger, 2 engine machines for instance, can fly easily on ome of its engines whem cruising, but it needs power from %oth motors to get it off the ground. All talk it is said, of experiment- ing with rocket craft to fly to the moon or to increase the speed of airplanes is a blind for the more important commercial plans. citizens in Canada and other parts of the Empire. "Statistics show what I mean. Imports from Empire countries fo the United States rose from $1.- 930,000,000 in 1924 to $2,100, 000,000 in 1927---an increase of nearly nine percent: while im- ports from foreign countries over the same period decrease, "The will to buy within the Em-' pire is growing steadily among the men and more important among the women of the old country. Foreign exporters are spending in- finite pains and much hard cash to establish their wares rather than those of the Dominions. "Provided the Dominion pro- ducts keep level--they need not keep ahead though they often to-- in price. and quality, they will cap- ture the market, "The Board is a Britigh govern- ment department set up with an annual fund of $5,000,000 from the old country taxpayer to pusa the sale of Empire goods in the old country. We do not by the way attempt to push the sale of British goods in the Dominions. I have met a number of people in Can- ada who thought that the Board works both ways. But it confines itself to using all methods of pub- licity and of research to help the Empire producer in the old country market. The Board is an official reply on the preference granted by the Dominions to old country exporters. "There is one thing I would like to add," concluded - Mr. Ryan, "ithe recent decision of the Depar'- ment of Trade and Commerce un- der Mr. Malcolm to set up an Ex- hibitions Branch in England, to ad- vertise Canadian goods has helped ed the Empire K Marketing Board immensely. As the witness >f that magnificent and unique show, the Canadian National Exhibition proves, nobody in the world can teach Canada how to make the most of Exhibitions."
