ANOTHER CITIZEN WRITES
ON THE ROADS IN ENGLAND

That the roads of England are as
smooth and we'll kept as Highland ave-
nue. was the statement of W. B. DECKER
son, a prominent citizen of Birmingham
in a letter to j. D. Collins, his brother
in-law, written in England.
Mr.. Dickerson is touring Europe with
his family and a feature of his trip is
cross country motor trips.
In this country the roads are excel
lent" says Mr.. Dickerson in his letter.
The maintenance is the best in the
world and even in the mountain districts
the roads are better than the best we
have. The roads on an average are as
good as Highland, and this is not in the
city, but away out in the country dis
tricts."
1t reflects the sentiment for good roads

ported to have lost heavily as a result
of the failure of Knight Yancey and

been concerned in the failure of Steele,

these failures, Fred Scheuch came to this

by the federal authorities is believed here
to be more for the purpose of holding

Crowd Is Fooled


Miss Leneve swayed from side to side.
Her closely cut hair still gave her the
boyish appearance which she had tried
to adopt and many OF the crowd were
fooled into thinking that the diminutive
figure was not that of the woman who
had challenged the attention of two con-
tinents and believed, that the police
were using a little boy disguised as a
woman to distract the attention OF the
crowd and so give them opportunity to
remove the real prisoner with less in
convenience. fsf t
The door of the provincial jail stood
open, waiting its new guests, and the
formalities were quickly over. Crippen
was placed in a cell smaller than the
stateroom which he and his typist had
occupied on the Montrose. More con-
sideration was shown to Miss Leneve
She was given large and compare
lively comfortable room upon an upper
floor This room had been fitted up for
the occupation Of scrubwoman en-
ployed in the jail. 1t was at the re-
quest OF this humble servant OF the pub
lie that the room. better than any pro-
vided for prisoners. was given to the
little woman. The act appears to he
typical Of the feeling prevailing here
among a large part OF Quebec's popula-

the woman in the same class with the
man.
