Automobiles and Good Roads

The automobile has become the most
important factor in the upbulding of
our public highways and has led TO the
reconstruction of more miles OF good
roads than any other conveyance ever
introduced. While 1t may be true that
1t is more destructive OF highways than
any other vehicle, 1t is equally true
that automobiling Is only plcasurable
upon the best roads man can construct.
Thus it must and shall be that the
more automobiles we use the better
Will our roads become for all classes
of vehicles and traffic.

A young man stood before the mirror
completing the finishing touches to q
toilet of which he felt justly proud.
He was going to call upon the girls
widowed mother to ask for her daugh-
ter's hand In marriage.
At last everything was complete ex-
cept his cravat. Before him on the
dressing table spread the two cravats
between which his choice rested, one, a
neat black with. a narrow. white stripe,
which he had bought himself; the 9th
er a cravat which the girl had given
him for present, tie such as only
women purchase.
IF ! wear the black and white one,
I'll look my BEST" he unused. ION the
other hand, If wear the one she gave
me I'll please her immensely, but will
look like alright
Then he whistled, walked around the
room and carefully tied his cravat
The mother said, Eyes," although
there We're tears in her eyes, and the
girl thought he was the handsomest
and best dressed man in the world.
Which cravat did he wear?-Bohe-
