SOUTHWEST TEXAS
 MAKES GOOD ROADS
Vexing Problem Is Solved By
 the County Officials
TAXES AND BOND ISSUES
One County Takes Up the Matter and Builds Roads to County Line and Then Arrangcs With Next
 County for Work

San Antonio, Tex, November 22.-(Spe- cial.)-In the absence of federal or state aid for good roads Southwest Texas is setting about the solution of the good roads question in a manner that may be of interest to scores of other states where the organization for directing the con struction of good roads is poor In this state. as In great many others, there is no provision for the construction of good roads by the state. This matter is entirely in the hands of the county off, cials. Tn a territory as sparsely settled as Southwest Texas still is, in spite of its enormous immigration, good roads are particularly necessary because the distances to be travelled are long. Inn perative necessity has forced the coun- ties to organize among themselves to di- rect this work.
 As in all other states there are some progressive counties which vote for good roads bonds and special taxes quite read fly. Others refuse to do so. Now the proposition of each county is usually to get a good highway across several coun- ties in addition to providing its own lit tie network of good roads, Therefore, having voted bonds, the county officials of the fortunate county take up nego- tiations with the neighboring county through which & good road is desired on very much the same basis that one nation would negotiate a treaty with an- other. The obvious advantage of the good road in question is u5ually sufficient

argument to induce the backward county

argument to induce the backward county to fall into line.
 But the county having good roads fund at its disposal has force as well as diplomacy at it's command. Such a county, presuming that 1t has an obsti- Late neighbor to the north, can construct all county highways up to within two, three, four or five miles of the county line and then leave an intervening area of very bad roads. This very seldom fails to force the neighboring county to action.
 Using these methods 1t is possible to drive a highway straight as the crow flies across several hundred miles Of country where the per capita cost of good roads is comparatively high owing to the fact that Southwest Texas Is far from being thickly populated Such a proposition is now being handled be- tween San Antonio and Corpus Christi The bureau of good roads at Washington was requested to send an expert to fur nish the county officials information about routes and road material. Fay Mcclure was sent and has recently sub- mitted his preliminary report.
 Commercial clubs along the way and the San Antonio chamber of commerce are now lending their moral support to the proposition and there is little doubt that the next few months will see under way road going straight from San An tonic to Corpus Christi through what was only a few years ago the very stronghold of the cattle baron. Un- doubtedly no other means now at the command of those who realize the i'm portance of good country roads could accomplish these results
 A campaign to get federal aid for good roads has been waged in a desultory manner and thus far fruitlessly, for many years. State aid for roads in a sparse settled state always presents the difficulty that the money can be spent several hundreds of miles away from at least three-fourths of the population.
 It Is interesting to observe what a dy- namo of activity one county with a good roads fund at its command becomes. Some years ago Bexar county, of which San Antonio is the principal part, voted a bond issue of $500,000. With this a net work of good roads was built that made the automobile loops of this scenic bit of territory nationally famous. Since then county roads have radiated in every direction from this city until now 1t is possible to make at least twenty trips to as many different towns within one hundred miles of San Antonio over roads which are in excellent condition all the year. The suggestion for all of these this one county.
 In fact, so successful have been the efforts of the good roads builders of

JEFFERSON'S CALL

 City court officials call attention to the fact that an error was made in the printing of the city court dockets. No cases were set for this week in the docket published, whereas Jefferson county's call in the supreme court Is not until next week. The cases docketed for the week >of November 28 are hence being tried this week.

Texas that a proposition Is now being urged for the construction of highway that shall run due north and south from the Red river the northern boundary of Texas, to the Rio Grande, the south ern boundary. Such a road will be about GOO miles long. It will travel from biz- zard-swept prairie to territory in which snow has never been seen. It will be long enough to cross at least two of any other states in the union. That such a proposition should be seriously consid- cred by a mere collection of counties Is some indication of the results which Texas Is obtaining In its efforts for good roads.

TROUBLE OYER
 SCHOOL SONGS

Winnipeg, Manitoba, November 2.-ln the new district of Alberta. largely settled by United States people, there has been trouble over the singing in the schools of British national airs, particularly Rule, Brittania." The Dominion technical edu- cation commission touring the country heard evidence respecting this at Cal gary. Inspector of Schools Boyce said inc Americans did not mind so much the Canadian national airs, but feeling arose when pure1y British songs were sung.
 ..Is the singing of these songs insisted on?' asked MT. Armstrong, member of the commission.
 Boyce replied the national songs were used first in singing lessons, but where objection was taken the songs obJected to were mostly dropped.

FIRES IN NEW YORK CITY
 CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE

New York, November 22.-Fires in New York today drove hundreds of persons panic-stricken into the streets and caused property damage approximating $l5oooo. There were no casualties.
 Fire destroyed the Throop Avenue Pres byterian church in Brooklyn and caused a panic in the aristrocratic neighborhood where apartment dwellers rushed into the streets by hundreds. Upwards of $125, 600 damage resulted.
 Eight two-story frame dwellings in row in the Bronx were burned, the blaze spreading so rapidly that hundreds of panic-stricken people were compelled to flee i'm their night clothes.

MERITS OF THE CITY.

Nearly all civilization is the product
Of the city. where mind meets mind
and each becomes brighter from con-
tact, says New York Weekly. Masses
Of population may engender great
vices. but they also engender great
virtues. and If they do not produce.
they certainly develop the finest and
keenest intelligences that we have.
The little town-states of Greece Gre
ated most of the ancient civilization
that is worth having. and after they
fell and the dark ages came In 1t was
the little city-republics of Italy that
brought light, learning and mercy back
to the world. Some of the blacklist
crimes are committed In the country.
Conan Doyle has Sherlock Holmes. In
one Of his best stories. point out this
fact. 1t was clever touch and 1t is
true. The country man is not more
honest than the city man, although he
may lack opportunities. Flaubert and
Balzac have drawn grim pictures OF
sordid meanness in the rural life OF
France; Tolstoi has done as much for
Russia, and Sudermann, Ibsen and
Hardy have told similar black stories
of their own countries. The recent re-
port of the commission on country life
showed considerations which left very
much to be desired in the way of i'm
provement.

With TODD products of all kinds ex-
tremely high in price, the people Of
Long Beach, L. l., may account them
selves fortunate In experiencing q
visitation of whiting, also known as
frost fish," which were cast upon the
beach recently In such numbers that
the coast for five miles was solid
ridge of fish. Residents along the
beach gathered as much as they could
eat Immediately and pack away for
future use, and then hauled tons of the
fish to their gardens and farms to en-
rich the soil. The whiting Is one of
the best food fishes of the winter sea-
son, and the surfeit at Long Beach
would have made many lover of fish
happy If 1t could have been shared
without expense that would have made
the distribution profitable.

THE AMERICAN HOME.

We hear much of the passing OF the
American home, but as long as the In
dividual members Of the family realize
the part they must play in its forma'
ton. and appreciate its manifold bless
tngs, there is little chance Of such
catastrophe. Not only every structure
of wood or brick that shelters human
beings is home; love and care ana
consideration are not found in every
dwelling place; but that family circle
that lives together in peace OF heart
and mind, be its habitation cabin or
a mansion, has struck the keynote OF
the true harmonies of home. The de-
mands of modern times. however, have
sounded the death knell Of one OF the
most attractive features OF home life
In the winter time-the open nre.
whose warmth and cheerful glow
forms center of common interest
around which the members OF family
are accustomed to gather. 1t Is the
most natural thing In the world for
the fire to be the focus Of the room.
and in preparing for the winter
home life 1t should be so regarded II at
all possible. and whether furnace has
been installed or not. one room at least
should be arranged-the living room,
of course-where all may gather
around the real fire" and respond to
its comforting influence.

Although other causes have operated
to some extent, there is no reasonable doubt
that the principal cause of the general adj
vance in prices during the last decade is
the large increase in the production of gold
which has resulted and is resulting in 6
continuous depreciation of our standard Of
value. Gold is commodity and subject
to variations in value governed by natura
