state Roads.

The new law providing for the build
ing of State roads will be of incalcula-
BILE benefit 10 Rhode Island if the men,
bers of the board appointed few days
ago investigate the subject thoroughly
and submit a practical scheme of high
way improvement to the Legislature.
1t should be understood that the law
was passed in the interest of the entire
State and not for the purpose of con-
structing roads Off the main routes.
and it is important to exclude politics
from the deliberations of the commits
sion and to guard against repetition OF
the costly errors made a few years ago,
when the Legislature appropriated
money for samples of macadam. The
value of good roads is so generally con-
ceded that there is no occasion for
building isolated stretches of macadam;
every dollar should be expended on
main roads connecting Providence and
the important centres of population,
and if the board proves that it is capa-
bic of resisting the clamorous politi-
clans who are anxious to have the
State pay for local jobs of doubtful
merit the Legislature doubtless will be
inclined to provide funds for the work
outlined in the law enacted just before
adjournment.
The Commissioners cannot be ex.
pected to render the State the best SER
vice if they do not have the advice of a
capable engineer. Laymen cannot de-
eide all the questions pertaining to
modern road building. 1t is the bust
ness of the engineer to examine mate
rials and to see that they are properly
used. Very frequently poor work has
been done when all the conditions were
favorable for good macadam work. and
with the knowledge now available there
is no excuse for wasting money. Cities
find engineers Indispensable, and the
State should be governed by the expe-
rienCe of progressive municipalities and
obtain the services of an authority on
road building and maintenance. BY no
means the least important part OF a
general plan of State roads is the es-
tabliShment of moderate grades. In
Rhode Island there should be few
grades exceeding three per cent. In
mountainous localities three per cent.
roads have been laid out where few
years ago it was thought impossible to
keep grades under eight or ten per
cent. and there is no reason why this
engineering performance cannot be du-
plicated in this State. SO much has
been written and said about road build
ing that the commission can offer no
| adequate excuse for not proceeding on
| the right lines. and the public will be
grievously disappointed if the recon-
mendations made at the next session
| of the Legislature do not appeal to
every man of common sense who is in
! terested in a comprehensive system of
! State highways-Providen Journal.

TELEPHONE LANGUAGE.
A Form Of Rudeness That Might BE
Corrected.

A Form Of Rudeness That Might BE
Corrected.
"Why is 1t that men and women per-
sist in using language over the tele-
phone which is not permissible under
other circumstancesY asked a man
who is a stickler for good form In all
the walks and relations of life. 1T is
curious fact that men and women
will say things to each other and ask
questions over the telephone which
under other circumstances would not
he allowable. Really they would not
think about saying such things. Sup
pose man, for instance. would walk
up to the front door, ring the bell, and,
when the woman of the house ap-
peared. he would ask. Who are you?'
what do you think the woman would
say? What would you say to the man
who called you out from cozy corner
in your home just simply to find out
who you are? Why. you would feel
like booting him over the fence. and
no man would blame you for it. Most
men would feel the same way under
similar circumstances. Yet we allow
men and women to do this very thing
when it comes to speaking over the
phone.
''When a man calls at a strange place
he is generally polite enough to ask
if Mr.. So-and-So lives at the place,
or if Mr. SO-and.So is in. or something
of that sort. He would not think of
| asking the man who he was. But
| mark the difference when it comes to
! using the telephone. who is that?' a
fellow will shrek. when the call is
| answered. Now. l object to this sort
of thing. 1t doesn't sound exactly
right from the way I look at things.
Who is that:' The practice is posi-
! lively vulgar, and when n man hurls
the question at me he generally gets
a sharp answer and one that means it
is none of his business particularly. and
l am not particularly polite in my way
of reminding him of the fact Why do
men and women persist in asking Who
is that? Why can't they have the de-
cencv to ask what number it is. or
whether this is Mr.. So-and-So. or some
| other question which would at least
approximate the decencies of the oc-
| casion?
The mere fact that. a man is talking
over the telephone does not give him
| the right to override the little nicetieS
which are usually observed in conver-
| Sation. SO far as l am concerned
| object to the liberty, and 1 have a
quarrel nearly every day on account of
the practice. Who is that:' Well.
! really lose my temper when I think of
it, and it is in my opinion distinctly
and thoroughly ungentlemanly. imper-
tinent and several other things which
may not be mentioned in polite society.
| Who is that:' Think of it. 1t is a low
down piece of vulgarity. and men
and women ought to quit using the eX-
| preston. New Orleans TimesDemo.

the plan. 1t is hoped the bureau will
eventually become a government insti-

The walls of Major Sylvester's bu.

thousands Of cards. each bearing on its
face two photographs of a criminal,
one full face and the other profile. On
the same side are given tho measure
ments, age and physical chara cteris-
tics. On the other side are given the
name, residence, crime. marks, scars,
moleS and other defects or abnormali-
ties. In short, these cards make up
the Bertiilon catalogue used in all
modern police departments.
When information is desired from
Washington regarding some criminal.
Shis name, aliases head, finger, ear and
Nther measurements are sent in. 1t is
the measurements that most readily
dead to finding the card. Names don't
count for much. The cards are al.
ranged in three groups. according to
size of head. The superintendent then
sturns to the group containing the size
of head named and if the criminals
card is in the cabinet can soon furnish
the desired information.
When the bureau is complete, 1t will

escape Identification. Plans for the
8extension of the system to Europe are
now being discussed.
