A Crisis and a Craze,

There are two forces which cause
modern England to move-a crisis and
a craze. 1t is far less necessary to do
something that is great now In this
country than it is to do something that
will attract the attention of great
many. The circumstances might have
had a curious effect on the celebrated
Of the past could they have delayed ex-
listing until now. For instance, Shake
speare today would probably have had
to attempt to swim the channel to sus-
tain the attention of playgoers, Crom-
well might have found it advisable to
take trips in "navigable balloon" to
keep himself before the general public,
Garrick might have elected to descend
from the skies in parachute to adver-
tise himself satisfactorily, and 1t might
have been necessary for the beautiful
Duchess Of Devonshire, to maintain
her social reputation, to figure occa-
sionally in the divorce court. Motor
accidents, thefts of jewelry and of
other property, fires and civil and GRIM
inal actions are, of course. more impor-
tant elements in the building up and
maintaining Of a reputation among
us now than is mere eXcellence.-Lon-

ROAD MAINTENANCE.

Value Of PatroIIng Highways to Keep
Them In Good Condition.
The utter wastefulness and lack Of
economy in building roads and making
no provision for their repair and main
tenance are becoming more and more
apparent to taxpayers. The Importance
Of the subject Is appreciated in some
states, and measures have been adopt
ed. There are, however, many COM
munities where the necessary steps
have not yet been taken. The subject
is treated pertinently by w. Pierre
pont White in recent article In Out
ing Magazine In this article Mr..
White says:
mot one cent Of money should be
expended in the creation Of these ex-
pensive highways unless at the same
time a system Of careful maintenance
and repair is established.
"Steam roads when first built were
permitted to run down, ties to rot, the
ends of iron rails to fatten, bolts In
the fish plates to become loose, until a
general overhauling was ordered, and
an excessively expensive amount Of
repairs was made owing to the neg
lect. Today we'll managed roads do
not permit this. But each road is d.
vided into sections under engineers
under assistant engineers, under sec
ton bosses, with men passing daily up
and down the road, giving it constant
repair and attention. This we are fl
miliar with.
"In Europe highways are patrolle,.
in the same way. Men, usually old
patrol the roads under their care. each
in charge Of section. each responsi
bic for its condition, and the slightest
hole in the wearing surface is detect
ed, repaired and filed in Immediately
after 1t commences. Ruts are detected
and filled, sluices and bitches kept
open and washing of the sides stopped,
and only by this constant care are
roads kept in good condition. This
same system must come to this coun-
try and be inaugurated at the time
that the general improvement is made;
otherwise the peoples money will be
thrown away"

A Story From India.

An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose Of an old elephant and took 1t to
a fair. AS soon as he had arrived he
noticed man who, without saying a
word, began to walk round the animal,
examining it attentively on all Sides
The merchant became very anxious
for he feared the man had found out
that his elephant was not worth much
He took him aside and whispered in
his ear: II see customer coming
Do not say word until l have sold
the beast, and I will give you 80
rupees" The man looked at the mer-
chant and wonderingly complied With
his request. 1t happened that the
customer had more money than sense.
SO he was easily taken in. When the
bargain was completed and the Gle
plant led away by its new owner. the
merchant handed the so rupees to
the silent man, saying: Nov | want
you to tell me how you discovered tho
defect in his left leg. thought has
concealed 1t so skillfully." Il have Gis-
covered nothing" replied the stranger
"It Is the first elephant have ever
seen, and I wanted to know which
WAS the head and which was the tail :"

made the new owners would make written

legally arrange TO select four or five directors
from the polcyholders alone and also to have
the policyholders directly represented on the
finance committee. Surely something can be
done to protect these $4,000 defenceless ana
scattered people in the future management OF

who know nothing about the insurance pusl-
