ed long-bow, about the efficiency of' portant. The total preferential votewhich a certain mistaken coterie of on this question Is as follows;- Im-

ing. Not to waste words. I will 1893,; condition of public sentiment,merely recapitulate an article by the 11,065,most expert of these bowmen, name- "ly, Arthur Young, a professional mov-ie impresHario, and well-known "limelighter."

fn "Boys' Life" for May he tellshow he and a friend, both armedwith the most up-to-date long-bows,discovered Home grizzly bears at adistance of seventy-live feet, ortwenty-five yard?, at which distanceanyone armed with the proper riflewould havv killed < very bear In jigtime. Here is the story: Tin? hunt-ers, before the bears discoveredthem, shot two arrows and woundedone of the -bears. Soon afterward,and before they were discovered,they fired two more, which makesfour arrows. Then one of the bears,severely but by no means fatally hit,charged the hunters.

As the bear came on, Young fli >\ afifth arrow at a distance of twenty-one feet. Mr. Young says: "The ar-row struck the top of her head be-tween the ears, and passing throughthe neck muscles, went under theshoulder blade and stuck out ah/mt afoot behind the shoulder! This shot,however, . . . . failed to stopher." Score, five arrows. Now whathappened after five shotB from thi'j•if .;>.(.• weapon \ ere Tired luioone bear at a short distance?

What happened was this: A friendwho was carefully stationed besidethese bo'.v-and-arrow heroes savedthe day by downing the bear with awell-directed rifle shot! Then twomore arrows were triumphantly firedInto tlw- bear In her last struggles,and these incomparable heroes hadthe. satisfaction of killing a bear atseventy-five feet with seven arrowsand one rille shot!

If any sportsman happens to readthese word:* arid is not overcome

. with •disgust at the..so-called sports-' man.ship of tlie.-:t- men, then I hereby

n sign ' my right to th* . title of"sportsman." . .

The actual fact, is that, while avi ry few experts with the modernIon:; bow have killed be a.-s and evenlior.'s.-wiUi a; lucky shpt or two, theirpercentage of quick kills is an ex-tremely small one. But just imaginewhat will happen, when, imitating

"the:-* bowmen,' the youth of our coun-try, and others who cannot in.; thenature: of the case become anythinglike experts for. a long time, beginto shoot arrows at all sorts of game.The result will siinply be that thewoods will be full of crippled anddying beasts. .

I .sincerely trust that the manhoodand the womanhood of the good oldState of Connecticut will have a wordor two to say before allowing a nefar-ious law of this kind to go on herstatute books. I shall be glad toprove any of the statements I havemade above.

Womu §nfHaving Heir to Fortune

She Hoarded.New York,—Almost on the very «*»

that Mrs. Prances Stevens Ball, gray-haired, wealthy and socially prominent,appeared before a Jury In Sontenrille,K. J.. charged with the killing of herhusband, Mme. Gnlllaume Lefebvre,gray-haired, a millionaire and a mem-ber of one of the most prominentfamilies In northern France, appearedbefore the Assize court In the City ofDoual. charged with the murder ofher young and beautiful daughter-in-law, says the New York World.

The trials were conducted simul-taneously for some days, and whileIn this country a puzzled public wasfollowing the grim details of the Hall-Mills murder mystery, all France wasstirred by the most sensational "af-faire celebre" since the trial of Lan-dm. the French "Bluebeard." fiveyears ago.

The parallel between the two casesIs Impressive. In both Instances theprincipals were women of sixty, who.because of the dignity of their ageand the prestige of the large fortunesthey commanded, seemed secureagainst any misadventure with thelaw. Both were charged with a cap-ital crime against one of their kinby ' marriage. And In ' both trialsthere was the spectacle of two men,brothers In the case of Mrs. Hall,huHband and son In the case of Mme.Lefebvre, defending their women kinagainst the tiocusutlon of a heinousand Indefensible crime.

Both cases presented a bafflingmystery: the Hall case a mystery offact. In which the Issue was the Iden-tity of the murderer; the Lefebvrecase a psychological mystery. Inwhich the motive for the French-woman's confcused crime baffled thebest legal bruins of France.

An Amazing Character.But here the parallel between the

JIull-Lefehvre cases ends. For when,finally the aged Frenchwoman's mo-tive was unraveled there WHS revealedto the world an amazing psychopathiccharacter such as only a Balzac couldhave created. The l.efehvre murdercould have been committed only. In aLatin country.

And the Hall trial, muffled In thesilence of the defendants, wus a dullshow' Indeed compared with the Le-febvre trliil, enllvered continually byLatin emotionalism. Latin outburstsof passion In both the principals andthe audience and repeated and franticefforts by the Judges to control theuncontrollable exhibitions of Frenchtemperament throughout the trial.

Exactly one year ago. In the full of](K!Ti, Mme. Uuillaume l.efehvre leurnedfrom her son a secret that he hadkept for five months; that his wife;Antoinette Mulle Lefebvre, was soonto give birth to an heir to the com-bined Lefebvre-Mulle fortunes. Onthat very day Mine. Lefebvre bought

• a revolver and. soon after, writing toher son, ^asked him to cull on her,bring his wife with him and takethem both for a drive In his ear.

The son.' obedient to his mother'swishes, appeared several days laterat the paternul home with his'youngwife, and the three set out' for adrive.. Andre Lefebvre occupied thefront seat alone. His wife' and hismother sat together in.the rear. Whenthey passed through the city gates andemerged into the suburbs. Mme.Lefebvre requested that her son drivealong the path known as "Solituderoad." Andre, without Inquiring intothe reasons for this strange wish,, stillIn his manhood as pliant before thecommanding will of his.mother as hewas when a child, compiled.

But when he had reached "Solituderoad" and the car was humming alongthe deserted lane, he suddenly heardan outcry from his mother. Andreturned, and what he suw made himbring the car to a quick halt. Hiswife. Immobile, lay buck In her seat,a thin stream of crimson tricklingdown her cheek from a wound In hertemple; His mother, spent, her handsparalyzed In her lap, one of themholding a revolver, regarded him si-lently. The young man could only askhis ugonlzed question.with his eyes.

1 nave killed her," the mother avidquietly.

Without • farther word. Andre Le-febvre swung the ear around anddashed madly toward the city and •hospital.

Son's Conduct Shows MotiveArrived at the hospital, the young

woman was at once hurried to theoperating room, but It was too late.She was dead. Mme. Lefebvre. mak-ing no effort to shield herself, wasarrested and her son. Andre, his wifedead and his mother a prisoner,stopped long enough. at the hospitalto claim his wife's purse, examine itscontents to see that they were Intactand Inquire whether the ring she worewhen she had left home was still onher finger.

Questioned again later In the day.Mme. Lefebvre declare she had killedher daughter-in-law because she was"driving' her son to ruin." In report-Ing the tragedy the following morn-Ing, the French newspapers describedIt as a crime of mother love, another"crime passlonel."

As usual, the case was tried In theFrench press long before It came tothe courts and presently, though stillrecognizing a crime of passion, thenewspapers became aware that theywere dealing with something morethan a mother's love for her son. apassion just as bid, but In Mme. Le-febvre overshadowing any feeling shehad for her offspring.

The star reporters assigned to thecase got their first cue to the real mo-tive for the crime. In Andre Lefebvre'sconduct at the hospital, when heshowed such concern about his deadwife's purse and her jewels. Theirinquiry took a definite direction whenIt was estimated that the entire 'out-fit of dothlng worn by the millionaireat the time of . her arrest could nothave exceeded In cost more than $15.

And when It was learned that theyoung couple hnd been quite happyand altogether devoted to each otherand that. If anything, they, had beenliving beneath their means, Mme. Le-febvre's bitter charge that AntoinetteMulle wns "driving her son to ruin"specifically revealed the nature of thepassion which had driven her to com-mit murder.

Bit by bit, In the press and legal, In-vestigations and during the trial, thereemerged the portrait of an amazingcreature, a female Harpagon, such amonster of greed as neither Mollerenor Balzac would have.dared to por-tray lest they tax too heavily the cre-dence of their publics.

A Love Match.The marriage of Andre Lefebvre

and Antoinette Mulle was, to all ap-pearnne.es. a love match, but Mme.Lefebvre made It plain to her son thatshe considered It a mesalliance, be-cause the Mulle fortune, though con-siderable, was not quite equal to theirown.

Shortly before the wedding, Andreannounced to his mother that he wanto leave on a short honeymoon afterthe ceremony. Mme. Lefebvre threwup her arms In horror. Honeymoonswere a waste and a needless expense,she told him. Who had put such non-sense Into his head? Probably thatawful girl, who already wus filling hishead with extravagant notions.

However. Andre Insisted that It wasonly decent for people In their posi-tion to have a honeymoon and, on thefollowing day, he went to a travel bu-reau and arranged for the trip! It wasperhaps the first time In his life thatthe young man, thoroughly under hismother's thumb, had ever assertedhimself, and Mme. Lefebvre sensedthat this alien woman not only wasleading her son to extravagance butwns threatening . her own authority.The resentment she nurtured In-creased.

She yielded to her son's wishes, butwhen she learned that he hnd pro-cured first class tickets for his travels,she immediately repaired to the tour-ist bureuu and had them changed tosecond class. It did not appear at allgrotesque to her that a young couplerepresenting two of the most substan-tial families In northern Franceshould travel second class on theirhoneymoon!' The newly weds had been gone only

four or five, days when Mme. Le-

By now lime. Lefebvre waslaf decidedly panicky. Hot onlyshe Incensed that her son badrled a "wasteful and Improvident*woman, bat she began to entertainfears for the security of their ownpossessions, the Lefebvre fortune, amonument to her greed which shebad built, stone by stone, franc byfranc, over a period'of half a century.

When her son had married, "though.It was beneath him," she saw the be-ginnings of a new fortune which, bysaving and self-denial, would swellthe Lefebvre' heritage to even more.Impressive magnitude. And here hewas traveling, spending freely. "roll-Ing In gold," and perhaps destinedsoon to. miike demands upon her tomaintain the swift and destructivepace his spendthrift wife was setting.

If the shadow of Mme. Lefebvreclouded the young couple's honey-moon. It • completely overcast theirhome life nfter they had returned.Andre's mother was a frequent visitor,casting up the household budget andfinding It excessive, urging retrench-ment and saving, warning her sonthat he would land in the poorhouse.She was shocked beyond words whenshe found that Antoinette laid a freshwhite tablecloth for euch meal.

"But It Is scandalous." she whinedto her son. "Think- of the laundrybill. White linen soils so quickly. Wehave always used red tablecloths andnapkins nt home. They lost a longtime without washing."

She was stunned when she discov-ered that her "lavish" gift of "an-tique" furniture had been consignedby Antoinette to the attic and thatthe home was tastefully furnishedwith new and expensive equipmentThe discovery led to a bitter quarrelbetween the women, one of the firstof many to follow. • .. .

Mme. Lefebvre was not appeasedwhen Antoinette explained that shecould not- have used the worthlessJunk her tnother-ln-lnw had given herwithout making herself' and her hus-band the laughing stock of their setShe wns not appeased when the youngwoman explained that she was spend-ing largely out of her own pocket,that her people were well-to-do, andthat she had been brought up to liveaccording to her ample means.

Mine. Lefebvre emerged from eachof these quarrels with the convictionthat her son had married Into a fam-ily of spendthrifts and wasters andthat his wife would lead him Inevita-bly to his ruin. Yet It was broughtout at the trial that the wealthyyoung couple's total expenditures didnot exceed $4,000 a year.

Her Hatred Grows.In the heart of Mme. Lefebvre there

gathered a consuming hatred for herdaughter-in-law and for the wholeMulle family which was soon to come

/to a head. Tt was hatred which grewas she realized she was alone in herdesperate struggle to save the ' Le-febvre fortune. Her aged husbanl,seventy-six and long retired from busi-ness, was a mere pale, carbon copy ofherself, echoing her' protests and . re-sentments but helpless and relyingentirely on his wife to fight the men-ace to their wealth. He had beencowed too long by this dominant wom-an to show any fight now. He wasjust a whining old man.

Her son. Andre, a war hero manytimes decorated, was a spineless crea-ture In her presence, his will brokenfrom infancy to respond to her im-perious will.

Then orJe day Andre Lefebvre an-nounced to his mother that an heirwas expected. It was the spark thatkindled Mme. Lefebvre's hatred to aconsuming flame. This alien woman,who was bringing her son to ruin,who was wasting Instead of buildinga fortune, was about to bring Into theworld another Mulle—another waster.

She bought a revolver and killedthe young woman whose condition of-fered a new menace to her greed.

The. Lefebvre trial .lasted only fourdays, but into that short time therewas packed more drama than In awhole month of the Hall-Mills trial.

The jury was out only ten minutes,returning with a verdict of guilty.The audience broke Into cheers as thejudge pronounced the sentence, "tohave her head- cut off In a publicsquare of the city"—the'first womanto die at the guillotine In France Inmany, years.

THE GOVERNMENT A8 A

POISONER

To make industrial alcohol non-potable but at the game time non-poisonous appears to be one of theGovernment's major problems withrespect to prohibition enforcement.Borne hope is held out that alcoholmay prove to be the denaturalizingagent par excellence. It l# -'-aid toposses? some of the delectable quali-ties o! crank case oil and to be diffi-cult or elimination by distillation. Itnauseates rather than kilU. Secre-tary Mellon thinks this is a decidedadvantage, and he has almost per-suaded Mr. Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon I.eaeue that this is a point inIt.* favor.

However. Mr. Wheeler, whose mo-tives are wholly altruistic, is reluct-ant to abandon wood alcohol as an

• ingredient of the stuff from whichbootleggers make their bottled-in-bond cooils. His general theoryseems to be that there is little hopeanyway for the present generation

tlon is something between sleepand death which prosretw*** untilthe sleeper's body becomes cold

, and respiration .reaches a scarcelyj perceptible rate. Tills condition

Little Now RemaittBof Old Oregon Trail

There still are truces of the oldOregon trail to be found In south-western Wyoming, but as timegoes on, these are gradually beingobliterated. The original \va«onroad over which prairie schooners of

anyway for the present ge a bygone generation rumbled west-of drinkers, and the sooner they are j ward to their dream of empire stillrid of the better. Drinkables con- ! can be traced; **

toThe gold and diver trades of

most picturesque Industrieshave played a nut unimportant partIn our history. The earliest set-tlers brought with them treasuresin gold and. silverware from theirhomes in England, France andHolland. Although the Puritansfrowned on the vanity of personaladornment they brought large sa-ver buckles to wear on their shoes,and women wore brooches.

At an early period craftsmensklUed In making beautiful thingsof gold and silver crossed the At-lantic and continued their work Inthe new land. The first gold andsilversmiths In the colonies did alltheir work by band, using few andsimple tools. In general, each ar-tist knew how to work in all met-IIIK. He made a variety of. articles—brooches, rings, forks, spoons andthe larger pieces of silverware forthe table.

One of the best known crafts-men of the early period of our na-tive art was Paul Hevere. His fa-ther had been a silversmith andPaul Inherited the business when jnineteen. Like other artists of histime he was extremely versatilennd could engrave crests and coats- >of-nrois, made bookplates andprints, carve wooden frames for |portrait*, cast bells and design andexecute silverware.

taining wood alcohol ought to hastentheir demise and leave us a morehappy and contented people. Thisphilosophy may be admirable, for anuncivilized nation, but it doesn'tquite seem to suit the needs of Ar -erica. Besides, generations are overlapping; the good and bad traits per-sist for a very long time.

As a justification for continuingthe use of wood alcohol, attention iscalled to the fact that as far backas 1906*lt was used as a denaturant,and no protest was raised. Why allthis fuss now? Cut then, of course,tho.se who made use of alcoholicbev. rages had other things to turnto; they were not restricted to in-dustrial alcohol made deadly by theaddition of wood alcohol. It is onlysince prohibition came, to prolongthe span of life and'increase earthlyjoys, that those of un reformed habitsand others filled with the spirit ofadventure have had occasion to>re-sort to the products of the bootleggerand the dive keeper.

It runs for a dis-tance of about one hundred milesacross southwestern Wyoming,from the Big Sandy river at Pa-cific Springs, to Cokesvllle. on theBear river, on the Idaho boundary.

The famous trail Is now over-grown with, sagebrush, so that IDplaces, the wagon ruts can be dis-tinguished with difficulty. In manysections, the barbed wire fencesacross the ranches cross the trail,and In the space that Is left, onlyan occasional sheep rancher'swagon journeys. The • new motorroad known as the Old Oregontrail, while following the generaldirection of the original trail, be-tween Granger and Cokesvllle,thence across Oregon to Portland,does not exactly coincide with theoriginal wagon road..— MissouriGame and Fish News.

High Offices; No SalariesMnny high offices In England are

filled by men who receive no sal-among which Is that of theminister. The prime minis-

however, usually accepts some> y p

| other'port such'a*-first lord of. theIf the Government is guilty of noi treasury, which has a salary of

crime in putting wood alcohol into. $25,000 a year. Justices of theindustrial alcohol that it knows is peace, guardians of the poor andgoing to be re-distilled, sold and; district councillors give their serv-drunk, why should it employ a rela- j Ices free.

The lord mayor of Lon-tlvely slow poison when it could getresults much quicker say with parlsgreen? But another fallacy with Mr.Wheeler's theory, "If a man killshimself drinking the stuff, he has noone but himself to blame," is thatthe Volstead Act does not makedrinking a crime. A government, so-.Ilcitous for his welfare, deliberatelypoisons that which it knows he maydrink .and gives Mr. Wheeler an op-

don, though* lie receives a saldry of$50,000 a'year, cannot hope to es-cape with paying out less than$125,000 a year In the fulfillment ofhis office, so that It really costshim $75,000 a year to hold theoffice.

French Driven to RevoltThe French revolution was main-

ly the result of the oppression ofthe French people, who rose In re-

portunlty to say that the poisoner is volt against the extravagance andblameless and the full responsibility I tyranny of the kings and nobles.must be borne by. the poisoned. Forhas not the Government, and espe-cially the super-government of theAnti Saloon League given warningthat there is no longer, any pureliquor to be had, and that those wbodrink what they buy or what is of-fered to them do so at their peril? -

. But is such a warning sufficient torelieve the Government of all re-sponsibility? If good liquor was atemptation that some could not re-sist, may not liquor of any sort be a

• temptation? There were warningsenough against the use of any alco-holic drinkables when they could belegally had, yet they were not alto-;gether availing. Hai they been, no-jbody would have thought it neces-jsary to invoke constitutional and istatutory, inhibitions. !

The German ambassador at Wash-'ington considerately warned Ameri-cans not to sail on the Lusitania, but'they sailed. They didn't believe anygovernment, even though it were at •war, would deliberately torpedo a.ship carrying non-combatants. Theirconfidence was lamentably misplaced.They went to a tragic death. I

There are probably a good many jAmericans who find it hard to be-lieve that th^ir Government, al-though it has warned them of thebad character of liquor now available,'would deliberately poison the alco-;hoi from which that liquor is made, iIt was not ih'; victims of the Lusi-,tatnia who wi-re blamed for takingpassage aboard her, but the German :government. Similarly there is aless disposition to blame those whocome to their death by drinking al-cohol poisoned by the Governmentthan to blame the Government forpoisoning it and seeking to escaperesponsibility, as did the Germangovernment, by saying it had warn-ed of the danger.—Hartford Courant.

I decided to economize In themutter of paper hanging, thinkingtlmt I would save Uie puper hang-er's bill uud put the money Into pre-ferred trotting stock. So I read ahousehold hint, which stated howone should make and apply paste towall paper, how to apply the paper,and all that The puste was madeby uniting flour, water and glue Insuch a way as to secure the paper |to the wall and yet leave It smooth. ;First the walls had to be "sized." iHowever, I took a tape measureand sized the wulls.

Next I began to cook the paste jIn a large milk can. It looked veryrepulsive, but It looked so muchbetter than it smelled that I didnot mind. Then I put about 5 cents'worth of It on one roll of paper andgot up on the chair to begin. Myidea was to apply It to the wallmostly, but the chair tipped, and soI papered the piano and my wifeon the way down. . My wife gaspedfor breath, and then she laughed atme. That is the reason I took an-other end of the paper and re-papered her face. I cannot bear tohave any one laugh at me when Iam unhappy.—From "Bill Nye* HisOwn Life Story," by Frank WilsonNye.

Theform "cafeteria" was first appliedto a self-service cafe In Chicagoby a man from New Mexico, so ItIs said, although this form of res-taurant originated. In Los AngelesIn 1005, when Miss Helen S.

Ring* ot Sun and MoonThere are two kinds of rings

Thesmaller the droplets, the larger thering. The other rings, the truehalos, occurring much farther away,are caused by ice crystals. Thereare several such rings, but eachone has the same angular size. Thissize depends on the size of thecrystal (usually, but not always, ashort six-sided column with flatends perpendicular to the sides),the course of the light through thecrystal, and the amount of bendingthis light undergoes as it enters aface of the crystal at a given slope.

Lasting Monument toGlory of Early Rome

El DJem, Tunis, contains one of.the flneat Roman monuments InNorth Africa, un amphitheater offive stories, the third largest in theworld. Situated on a plain nearthe desert frontier, It can be seenmany miles off rising like a moun-tain of stone, dominating the sur-rounding landscape, and complete-ly dwarfing the shabby little ArabvillRge at its base.

The Immense pillars and blocksof stone used In Its constructionhad to be hauled over speciallybuilt roads by an army of slavesand teams of oxen from quarriestwenty miles away. The Romanoccupation ceased at the end of theThird century, but this massive,well-preserved structure will stand,a silent and enduring witness topast glory.

No truce of the luxurious city ofThysdrus remains, which, with Its100,000 Inlmbltnnts, once occupiedthe site of the.present-day squalidvillage of El DJem, nor do the sur-rounding empty plains, with camelsnibbling at cactus bushes, help usto visualize the thickly populatedtowns and fertile fields of formerdays.—Christian Science Monitor.

Do Not Force PlantsIf a plant has been growing

thriftily for some time and thenbegins to, go back, It probablyneeds a rest and no amount offorcing will do any permanentgood. It will, says Nature Maga-zine of Washington, do a definiteharm. During the resting period, aplant Is better If left entirely alonein a dry, cool cellar. It will of Itsown accord, and without any at-tention of any kind, begin to putont new' green shoots. When thesenew shoots show themselves theplant should be given a thoroughwatering, a repotting If necessary,and brought up into Its place In thesun. After It Is growing well Itmay be given fertilizer.- />

ONTER WEATHERSOFTENS SURFACE

Hearty every one has noticed how; jpnoch softer a road rait ace Is la the

: than It Is In the fall or sumsaIn many cases gravel-surfaced toads

softened to such an extent thatwheels of the traffic passing overroad cut through the gravel and

Bto the day soil below. Much of the1 'gravel Is pounded down Into the clay'. -and the clay in turn comes to thei surface of the road. It only requires• a few repetitions of this to do awaywith the fine riding Qualities ofgravel-surfaced road. The day soon

' predominates and during wet weatherthe road surface Is sticky and tendsto be slippery rather than possessingthe qualities of gravel.

Years ago It was thought that a

Icertain road could not be successfullytraveled because the gravel would«lnk down through the day. It hadbeen graveled a time or two and the.gravel always disappeared. The trou-ble was that the layer of gravel placedupon the road was. too thin, and whenwet, spring weather came, the wheelscut through the gravel crust on topof the clay and forced the gravel intothe clay. This same road has nowbeen successfully graveled for years/and the only thing necessary was to[put on a sufficient thickness of gravel(to sustain the weight of the traffic.i' If one will consider what takes place^during the winter when freezing("weather comes, it is easy to see wbyroads are softer In the spring. If toe

Ifall Is wet the gravel freezes whenConsiderable moisture Is present Tollwater turning to Ice expands, forcesthe soil particles apart, and when thistce'meUs In the spring the particles

; are not compact as they had been, but«re left loose because of the so-calledI "heaving" of the road due to freeslng.I This expanding effect of the tfrozenjmoist'jre extends as deep as the frostline, which, In this latitude, Is about/two tad one-half feet In an ordinary.winter. When the roads thaw out In(the spring, therefore, the soil particlesare loose and .must again be com-pacted by the action of hoof and(•wheel.—E.B. House, Professor of CivilWnd Irrigation Engineering, Colorado

[Agricultural College.

^Highway Vision Blocked[' by Ungodly Billboards• Preservation of the beauty of the(countryside may bean Importantargu-[ men* against the billboards that linethe highways, But just as strenuousan Argument Is their danger to mo-torirts. •

E*-en those signs that display a pic-ture with just a phrase or so threatenktx Occident when tney are placed at

(comers to hide approaching automo-'blle* from view. •

B?t the greater danger lies In thelontf-wlnded billboards that'some ad-vertisers seem to think are better sales.seducers than their more or less silentbrethren. . What actually happens istlmf either they're not read at all bythe fast-passing motorist,, or he drivesunwttrily Into an accident.

Telling the history of an approach'ing town.-ijr even flaunting a verse ofthe Scrljrture In the face of Sabbath'desecrating motorists, may be consld-

beneficial and a mental stimulus,but they're no help to the motorist ifhe strikes the curve at which they're'placed at a 40-mlle-an-hour gait, orruns pell-mell into a post.

Curves or crossings are wonderfully/attractive locations for billboards from[Aan advertising viewpoint, but highly{calamitous from the motoring angle.

For safety, therefore, even morethan beauty, lining the roads withbillboards should be restricted.

Giant Road ImprovementPlans for the Future

The nation's road program for theMast four years should result In the'improvement to some degree, of about100,000 miles of highways before 1930,according to T. H. McDonald, chief ofthe United States road bureau. Thesefigures are based on accomplishments*»y national, state and local depart-ments in the past The annual ex-penditure will average well over $1,-000,000,000.

"The American Road Builders' asso-ciation has.given new Incentive to thebuilding of good roads and It Is very

Vprobable that reports at the 1927 con-jventlon'ot that'organlzatlon will show/much progress In actual construction,"the added.. "The government encour-agement to road construction Is evi-denced by the continuation of the 175,-000,000 annual appropriation for 1927and the consideration given a bill au-thorizing this federal aid expenditurefor 1028 and 1929."

Reduce Accident TollThe Increasing, number of accidents

Uo tourists at highway grade crossings(has led to the adoption of a policylooking to the elimination of such

UlnnuerouB crossings wherever practl-(cubic on fiMteraj aid roads. The policy,llwhlch hus met with the general sup-I port of the states, Is that all existingJgrade crossings on the federal aid
