Philadelphia, Janu.ary 22.—Good news for the motoriNt w.is .sound'd at Philadelphia tixiay by Frank T. Sheets, Consulting Engineer for the Portland Cement As.sociation. He told a group of executives of Penn¬ sylv.mia cement compani'^s, who are meeting in the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel, that more concrete roads are now [Kissible at lower cost Ixcauso of a new method of design that has b<>en formulated.
It is now possible. Mr. Sh.^ots pointed out. to .sclent* ically design a concrete road, on the basl.s of the traffic and traffle weight it will bear, who.se design and cost will bt' pro¬ portionate to the amount of trafflc. This new development of road de¬ sign, whieh has Ijcen definitely checked by the results obtained on the Bates test road In Illinois, will permit the use of concrete on .M'con- darv roads, for In.stanee. because thinner slab^ of eoncnte can iie '..ud and still adequately aeeommodate the trafTie using the road
Many of the conrret*- roads now in exisl<'nee were built without proix^r attention being given to their design. Mr Sheets .s;ud. as in past years con¬ crete roads were built of a singl.' thicknes.s, wliich was made ample enough to carry the lu'avle.st iK)s>i- ble tiafflc T'luler the Sheets design method, highways can now iie built of varvinu tlilekness ba.sed on th'' trafTie carriid Determin.ition ofthe loads a hiehway will Ix' required to carry and thi. volume and charac¬ ter of that trafflc constitute the bas- .sls of the method whose purpose. Mr Sheets said, is "to i>'rmlt the most eeoiunnie.il design of pave- ment.s to meet rationally predicted traffic conditions"

Unlo.ss the motor has Ix-en changed, a 1934 license costs the same as that paid by tho owner last year.
The Department's Bureau of Collections, which i.ssues the motor boat licon.s."s, pointed out, however, tliat the p<'niianent features does not apply to 1933 licen.ses. All mo¬ tor boat o'.niers must get new plates this .vcar and, conver.sely, thc 1933 plates are not to be returned to the department. OfBcials report many applicants are confused on this sec¬ tion of thc law
After obtaining 1934 plates, motor lx>at owners must either return tlie plates al the end or send a check for the renewal fee.
New York. - Al the op--ning s.'.sjioa of the 23d annual convcni:on of the Nalional Ketail Dry Goods Associa¬ tion, owncr.s and executives of 4,5U0 member stores in all parts of the country sounded a determination to promote widest po.ssible cooperation within the trade and wilh the Government. Delegates joined lust¬ ily in chanting the slogan: "The past will nol come back again under NRA."
Asserting that developments to date under the national recovery prr.gram "probably mark only the beginning of an era ot great change". Lew Hahn. president of the a.ssociation. praised in 'nighest t nns the op: ration of tiie retail code and said: "The far-reaching programs by the Pederal Oovern- in. nt to nil et the eni'r:!eiuy havs '':il.-ed th-. overturn of ail of our f.rnier llttie .ippircai:- ; .'

Eqinilly optimistic was Cannin? E. Sweitau'. managing director of the a.ssociation. who declared "the fear of last spring has given way comp Ictely to hope and determina¬ tion  to  make   national  recovery    a
tremendous success." Profe.s:;.)r Pau! H Nystrom, of Columbia University, president of the American Market¬ ing Society and a.ssislani vice chair¬ man of the retail code authority, said the particular problems con¬ fronting retailing in 1934 "relate lo rebuilding nnd revitalizing economic conditions."

By feasting at tlu- tables GOD had .spread
And walking where the Spirit safely led.

Harrisburg — Leon D Metzger secretary of revenue, today said im¬ proved liquid fuels tax collection niMli'Jdj in part enaijlcd Pennsyl¬ vania lo show a gain of one quarter ot a million dollars from this source last year over 1932. I As the W'sUlt of better collection ween the Farm methods, closer inter-stale coopera¬ tion increased consumption and lh'> reduction of delinqu"nt accounts. Secretary Metzger said deposits of tax receipts for 1933 totalled $31,059.- 378. a gain of $258.-463 over the $30.- 800.915 of the previous .vear In¬ cluded in the total was $320,000 col¬ lected from 430O accounts delinquent und'T the old acts which required re¬ tailers to pay the lar.
"During 1933. the Buteau of Liquid Fuels Tax experienced fewer attempts on the part of the col- I'X-tors to avoid payment to the Slate than in any year since the t.ix has been  imposed."  Metzger .sa.d
"When the present law becanv" efTective there were huge sums of tax due the Slat* from many of the 22000 dealers who formerly col¬ lected the tax. On January 1. 1"'''' $3,685,000 wa-s repi-e.s«uitr ' bv aojJ'. $10,600 accounts, some '.1 -lUected 1921 "Last .vear. the Bureau '-:quid Fuels ux collected $320.0)) from 4300 of thes<> accounts On J 1 lary 1. this year, there remalnr^' r- standing 6300 accounts aggre- mg $2,581,000 The Bureau hop 'ly collect a large percentagte of this b 1:- ance through Intensive efTort t.. - year
"From the improved coUectii 'i methods, tho counties a.-^ well as th- Stjite profit Counties will receiv for highway purpo.ses a greater re- t'lrn from the nne-half c<^nt of tax reverting to them MotorLsts benefit in tliat the tax they pay for road construction and maintenance is be- in« brought into the trea.sury and used for Ihal purpo.se and is not im¬ properly diverted by irresponsible collectors."

Utopia ia iu. li.-... real than tins world. I have a house hi Utopia, and only corne back here once in a while to make a livmg.
It's a great country, the land of dreams, of pure reason, of what oghl lo be and will be There e'.ery Jack has his JiU and the baiter-cake bushes grow right by the side of the running brooks of maple- syTup.
Hea\en's to be had for ths asking, and God is in the oth'.'r room—if we but believe. Always It s unbelief that freezes and frightens the world.
Th-red be a job for every- Ijody, at good wages, if we all only thoughl so
Our cities would bicome as beautiful as Greek temples set in gardens of Paradise, our liou.se.s hghl and oiiCL-ry, ou.- furniiure a d-'light to the e.ve, our food plenty and well cook¬ ed our digeslions .Perfect, ouf bodies s'rong and hand.som'', and our d .iosituns mj^' :.a:', :':•'.¦:- :f v, e or.ly thoU'^I.'. so.
How ijotent and irr'. s.^'ab. ' ll tiiou.ii .'. w:: -ivould let 1: h;;". e its \e.iy!
Tl-.it .- liic way vou came in¬ to l.fe Someb-7dy dreain.'d and longed, and loved, and s^ you catne: so the universe w.i created: for the creation took place, as far as you are con¬ cerned, when you were born: beforo then there were no stars nor continents, nor Jov nor sorrow.
Good times come, prosperity to all, by people thUiklng so. Panics are cau.sed by the sam.' means.
Tyranny, cruelty, and op¬ pression are negations; peopl- don't believe in hberty, kind¬ ness, and tO'.eranci- Wh«u ever.vbody thinks democracy, enter Democracy, who was only waituig in the wings for her cue.
The only reason we don't have worid government, and no more war, is because wc won't think It. *
We shall have co-operation and all its benefits just as soon as we can get men to think co-operation Everybody will ha\e pure milk and whole¬ some bread brou?lit to his door by perfect social machin¬ ery, every child will be edu¬ cated, every sick per.son cared for. every workman Ix' congen¬ ially employed, every city be ideally governed, every nation l)e a helpful brother to every other nation, and all human¬ ity will run smoothly as a $7 000 automobile. Just as soon as we quit doubting can do it.
Utopia's  right   around corner,  waiting  for us to lieve it.
Why. we have grand, re¬ demptive Ideas enough float¬ ing around now to brlntj Uto¬ pia, onlv we don't believe 'em. W" believe tho.s<' wretched l.es we call practical There's brothfrhood. for Instance, and trust, and cooperation, and Justice If we'd give em a chane- I

Let us belifVc and we will iiiundat* hell and put out lta fires.
