DEPARTMENT OP PUBLIC
WORKS WARNS  PUBLIO AGAINST  TRAIIi OHGANIZBIW
C. R. Miller, Director ot the Do¬ partment ot Public Works and Buildings, and Prank T. Sheets, Chief Highway Engineer, today Is¬ sued the following statement regard, ing marked trail organizers who have been active in Illinois and other states In promoting and marking so- called trails. ,
"Many indivlduala have sought to capitalize the popular demand for marked cross country routes by or¬ ganizing trail associations, collecting large sums ot money trom our citi¬ zens in return tor routing trails through their cities, and giving littla service in return. In some cases, they have sought to increase the amount ot their collections by creating rival¬ ry between dltferent communities, and we are led to believe have, In many Instances, marked the routes where the greatest fund conld be raised.
"We have also been Intormed that ot the amounta collected in the Tarl- ouR localities, one-third was alloted those communities to pay for mark Ing the roads. The balanee, or two. thirds of the tunds collected was to be forwarded to the headquarters of the trail officials with the promise that the funds would be expended In advfertlslttg the cities through which thMk'sb^ealledtrail* pass.
"Devious, winding and twisting routes have been selected through some communities to satiafy the wishes ot the more enthusiastic con¬ tributors of funds, and the travelin;t public oftentimes has been serionsly inconvenienced and misled.
"Realizing the Importance ot sys¬ tematic, thorough and Judicious highway marking, this Department has made a most careful study of this subject, with the result that Il¬ linois today has one of the most com¬ plete and comprehensive marking systems in the United States. Need for the specially marked trail in Il¬ linois has passed; yet we are con. stantly beaeiged by the promoters of these organizations, and even by our own good citisens, who have been misled by the rosy picture ot large financial returns for their communi¬ ties, painted by these promotera and organizers, to permit marking of new pontes on the same highway* which have already been paved and thoroughly marked by tbe state.
"The matter Is ot such Importance that l^has been coAsidered by the State Board ot Highway Advisers of Tllinois, and by unanimous vote, thsy have refused to approve any turther trail markings. The American Asso¬ ciation ot State Highway Officials, eompoeed ot the executive otficer* of tbe highway departments ot all the states, at their last meetinr in November, 1924, adopted the follow- Ing resolntion: 'Resolved that no trail association be permitted to es¬ tablish   fnrthe/ routes   on State   er
Federal Aid routes.' This is convinc¬ ing evidence ot the unanimous senti¬ ment ot the highway officials ot this conntry agalnat turther marking of traiU. /
"Already plans have been worked ont tor the Immediate numbering and marking ot transcontinental routes by the United States Bureau ot Public Roads and the several states, without expense to the cities and communities through which they pass; and turther activity ot trail as. sociationa and their promoters will only tend to confuse and retard the development ot a transcontinental system ' ot numbered and marked highways."

A SENSIBUe DBCmON
An Indiana man was sentenced to serve 90 days for nonsupport of his aged parents, and the conviction has been upheld by the state supreme court.
It was charged, and evidently proved, that he let his aged parenta go to the poor tarm, where his mother died because he was paying tor an aatomobiie on the installment plan.
Bvery man la morally bound to support his parents when they, are In need, If he is at all able to do eo and such treatment of men who do not recognize their obligations will meet with universal approval.
It will be muoh more effective, tt the courts take this position, than all the old age pension laws that might be passed, which would bur¬ den the state with the exi>ense of .lupportlng the aged people whose ir. responsible children have lost all sense of debt tbey owe their parents.
