BOOSTING FOR
JUNCTION ROAD

Tell all the people, who want bet
ter roads to come to the club rooms
of the Glenwood Automobile club un-
der the postoffice this evening" said
DR.. o. l.. Mccartney, president of the
club today
We are going to discuss this COM
ing of the state highway commission
and will take some steps looking to-
ward meeting them and showing
them that the money they have TO
spend, can be well used by this and
Mesa counties in getting better
thoroughfare between this city and
Grand Junction" he said There is
no use talking. that road down the
canon is fierce and the members of
that commission will surely get some
good old substantial bumps between
Dotsero and this city, and they will
get some more between Glenwood
and New Castle he continued I'VE
could use 100000 along this road
from Eagle county to Grand Junction,
but will be pleased if the commission
can give us only part of the $27,-
600 they are said to have left from
their work on the eastern slope. We
want 10 tHEe advantage of every op-
portunity of getting money for the
roads in this county. II means mere
than "A thoroughfare over which
pleasure seekers may pass 1t means
that the ranchers will have better
facilities for getting to the markets
and where woulI this county be with
out the ranchers? Guess there would
be nothing doing for the rest of the
people"
The above expresses the opinion
of the number that the Avalanche
has heard from since our paper reach
ed the streets yesterday evening.
The meeting tonight in the rooms
of the Glenwood Automobile club
will be open to all lovers of better
roads. OF course, the club may have
some business to attend to, but the
members are going to take the intia-
tive in this road matter and will
doubtless select committee to meet
the highway commission somewhere
east of the city in Grand canon. We
all realize that the commissioners
Will have rocky road to Glenwood"
after they leave Dotsero and there
are few, If any of the auto men who
want to go there TO meet them But
some plan will be evolved whereby
the good roads people will be able to
add to the impression received by the
commissioners as they bounce over
the rocks.-Glenwood Avalanche.

Wooden Wedding Suggestions.

A request comes for suggestions for
a wooden wedding, which is the fifth
anniversary. The invitations may be
written or printed upon birch bark,
or on imitation wood paper. giving the
date of original wedding and the day
and date of proposed celebration. For
a table centerpiece large canoe OF
birch bark would be charming filled
with violets or other small flowers;
smaller canoes could be used to hold
salted nuts and as place cards, too,
with the guests name written on the
side in fancy lettering. A wooden
chopping bowl, filed with fruit and
flowers, could be utilized as a center
piece if the canoe is not obtainable.
Little wooden dishes that come for
dolls make fine individual nut or bon
bon holders. Place cards may also be
made from squares of birch bark. II
a carpenter is accessible get him to
make some nice long curly shavings
to use as festoons about the rooms.
For amusement, try a nail-pounding
contest for the girls and a whiting
contest for the men, or let all dress
dolls made from clothespins. Fill
small tub with sawdust and make
pie" out of which the guests may
draw tiny wooden boxes filled with
wedding cake.
One of the stunts" at a wooden
wedding celebration was to gather the
guests in one room in two long lines.
Lights were extinguished and wooden
articles In common, everyday use
were passed from hand to hand down
The line. After each one had held and
felt of all the articles, the lights were
turned on, and the one writing out
the most complete list from memory
received a prize.

After-Dinner Tricks.

A stunt which is new and amusing
and never fails to make fun, is trick
in balancing. Have the one who tries
the thing, measure exactly three
times the length of his own foot out
from the wall of the room, then stand
with heels together facing the wall,
then stoop forward until the top of his
head touches the wall. Then place
light stool or tabouret, about 20 inches
in height, between him and the wall.
The trick is to hold the tabouret Off
the floor and at the same time lift
the head from the wall. A woman
generally succeeds in doing this with
comparative ease, but for some reason
the trick is not so easy for man. So
ask a woman to do it first, then 1t S
very funny to see the man fail.

shape of a wedding bell; a white satin
ribbon ran to each place. When the
bride pulled her ribbon spoon bear

One spoon for two,
OH what fun
But then, you see,
You two are one.
The rest of the girls each drew
spoon, and exclaimed as they just

refreshments were little out of the

THE CHEF CHARM.

Daintiness and neatness are not
made paramount as they should be.
When properly observed these vir-
tues atone for many shortcomings in
ones wardrobe and dwelling place.
A frock which has been kept clean
and we'll pressed and neatly repaired
is ready for good service, provided
accessories are all they should be
the most expensive garments are
hopelessly commonplace if neatness
is lacking.
It is given to the few to be beaGt;-
full or fascinating-the others must
rely upon cultivation for whatever
charm they exercise over their fell
low-beings. The good-natured E's.n-
an is always sure of a welcome,
though she will not fare as we'll if
she lacks personal attractions. The
clever woman is a success along GER
tain lines, but she is not in the same
class with the girl who charms the
eye as we'll as the ear. Hence it is
important to make the most Of OPP
portunity.

COURTEOUS PIckPocKET.

One of the most courteous pick
pockets on record came to light at
New York the other day on the
steamship docks, where the liner
Majestic was preparing to sail for
Liverpool. Kyosuka Iwai, a Japa-
nese business man, missed his wallet
when he reached for his ticket.
After he had recovered from the
shock he said the wallet contained,
besides his ticket, draft on London
for $3.50 and $50 in cash. He was
standing around despondently when
messenger boy appeared, waving a
wallet, which he said a man told him
to give to a japanese on the steamer.
The London draft and the steamship
ticket were still in the receptacle. In
stead of the cash was a laconic note,
It read: "Many thanks"

WOMEN OF ANCIENT ROME
Distinct Personalities at Time
When the Fair Sex Was Not
Greatly Thought Of.

We have a great deal of detailed
information about the ladies of
Rome. Many are known to us by
name and we are aware of the i'm
preston they made on their contem-
poraries. We should not be helped
in differentiating them from other
ladies by opening ledger and set
ting down the good against the bad,
Calpurnia against Faustina, and
Alemene against Trimalchio's wife.
The trait that is interesting for our
purpose is present in good and bad
alike. The Roman lady was a per-
son; indeed, she was often what we
call a character" She is distin-
guished from the Athenian lady as a
statue in the round is distinguished
from relief. Once for all, she was
detached from the background of
family life and not supported
throughout her height by the fabric
of society, must see to it that her
lie without her base. She commit
ted her own sins and bore her own
punishment. Her virtues were her
own and did not often take the d.
rection of self-effacement. The
strong men among whom she lived,
who broke everything else, could not
break her.-Emily James Putnam,
in Atlantic.
