THE SCHOOL INVESTIGATION,
Inquiry Likely to Be Made by Sub
committee.

It is generally expected at the Capitol
that the subcommittee on schools of the
Senate District committee will take UP
the public school investigation instead of
the full com mittee and that the work will
be Under the direction of Senator Burkett
of Nebraska. who is chairman of the sub
committee. Mr.. Burkett is the author OF
the present school law. and has made in
the past careful study of school condi-
tons in the District. That he is intere st.
ed In the school situation Is evident from
the fact that he has conferred at length
with Capt. James F. Oyster president of
the board Of education. Although he will
not speak for publication about school
affairs here, it Is nevertheless understood
that he does not now favor stirring up
the school system by an investigation to
the extent which 1t is believed. Senators
GaliinEer and Scott favor. 1t is und ,r-
stood that he would prefer letting the
board Of education work out it's own SAL
walton.
Senator Scott was on the subcommittee
on schools last session and there will be
probably no change in this respect this
winter.

Things That Are Quite Natural.

If he has a headache, it isn't at all
natural. He thinks the world should
cease its revolution just because a man
has pain in his forehead.
It isn't natural for men to have
aches or discomforts OF any kind.
A husband thinks it's quite natural
for a woman to sit up night after night
with restless. teething baby.
If she's little bit irritable at break

even at O'Clock in the morning, it's

FROM ST. LOUIS TO NEW YORK
An Automobiles Found Few Toler-
able Roads on the Way.
From the Outlook.

From the Outlook.
With. the exception Of the approaches to
large cities-ChicaRo. Cleveland. Buffalo
ana New York; found few good roads In
any state except Massachusetts,. In H.
inois no pretense Is made at good roads.
Between Hammond. Ind. and South Bend
there Is a good road. For thirty miles
east Of South Bend the road is fair. Then
as you approach the Ohio state line ths
roads fall into the Illinois habit Of being
either deep dust or deep mud. We had
mulch fun finding the Napoleon. Ohio.
pike. Whenever we complained of bad
roads In that section of Ohio people would
say, Eyes. the roads hereabouts are pref
ty bad. but Just wait till you strike the
Napoleon pike. Then you will see some
thing"
Naturally this sort of talk aroused
lively expectations. but alas, when we
arrived at the Napoleon pike we did not
know 1t. For that celebrated road was
made Of mud and dust. Just like the other
Ohio roads. All the way from Missouri
the good roads were Just fifty miles ahead
of us. The roads are bad here, but 1t
is all right when you get to Blank" That
is what everybody told US. And Blank
was always some forty or fifty miles be-
yond the place where we got the informa-
ton.
everywhere except in New York was that
New York roads are good for motoring.
The truth is that New York has some
of the worst roads We encountered. The
road east from Buffalo is splendid for
thirty miles. then 1t Is as bad as bad can
be until Utica Is reached. After Utica
the subject won't bear discussion. 1t is
not possible for q motorist to speak OF
the roads around Utica without induiging
in language that should not be used. The
approach to Albany is a close second to
the approach to Utica: the so-cailed "Af-
bany pike" consists OF two strips Of stone
slabs. with a ditch between the two rows
OF slabs and also ditch on either side of
them; this compels people to travel on
these two strips of stone. And the pike
is hundred times worse than the famous
Rocky road to Dublin. for deep holes and
ruts have been worn In those stone slabs
and you bump up and down in a way that
may be good for your liver. but 10 very
hard on automobiles.

Charm Of a Woman's Voice.

From WOman's Life.
Very few women realize what an effect
a sweet voice has on a man woman
may be very pretty to look upon. may b,
faultlcssly and bewitchingly attired and
attractive in every way, and yet too
often. directly she opens her mouth and
speaks the spell is broken, the charm is
gone. And this need never be.
Very few voices are SO naturally bad
that they VIII not succunlb to trai 1in r.
and the voice can be trained to b. jus
as sweet and gentle as we pleas, to
make 1t.
; A woman should speak in a low voice
She should not allow her voice tn raise
itself to a. high pitch. A s1rill-' Ole II
woman is terrible. She should no: shout
her orders to the servants DOVE the
stairs ror call to any on who may be in
another part of the house. This shouting
and raising OF the voice spoils tn tone
and quality OF the voice and tends to
make 1t harsh. A pretty voice Is a pow
erf.il attraction In a woman. and she VIII,
woud add to. her charms a wondrous
fascination should cultivate & voice
ever soft, gentle and low"

White and Cream.
From Vogue.

1t is evident that as many lace waists
on the burnt ivory tone as those made
Of white or cream are to be worn.
Heretofore the lighter tones have been
the favorites for elaborate creations of
this attractive adjunct to the we'll
gowned woman's wardrobe. The burnt
ivory laces are seen also in combina-
ton with white, and heavy Russian eft
fects are used with net, the net often
embroidered Tiny gold buttons in cius-
ters trim prettily in many cases, re-
lieving the depth of color by touch
Of brightness. A cerise cravatte Is also
one of the best color contrasts to be
worn with one OF the waists.
