Good Manners.

The instinct of selfcontrol, of gen tleness. of consideration and fore thought and quick sympathy. which go to make up what we call good breeding; the absence of noise and hurry, and thousand and one little ways by which we can please people, or avoid displeasing them-are all taught us by our own hearts. Good manners are the fine flowers of culti- vation, and everybody can have them.

 The Church.
 And still the church existed long before the expression of brotherhood reached the world through the lodge. The church was gathering strength to accomplish it's task. The word sEccle- ,ias from which word church springs. points to its genus and describes it's character. Eccleria called out for def mite, recognized purpose The genus springs from desire to serve. Came not to be ministered to, but to ministeri And is fathered by a. sense of power awakened to action by a sense Of hu- r1anity's need. Whence came this agency that called out for purpose. Long cycles ago sin entered the human family. Moral degeneracy of mRn- kind is recognized; life is imprisoned; soul is insolvent; the cry of a needy soul rent the heavens. God heard the cry and came in the form of Son. God called into being this church At one and the same time the church was or dained to be the had of God that reaches down and lifts the soul of man out of the slough of despond and des- ert of sin, and the arm of needy hu- manity that reaches up and clasps the power by which it is able to rise. The church is Gods ambassador at court of mans soul. God works not for ameHoration of society, but for re- denlption of soul
 Here. then, is the sublime task of the church, keeping channels open be- tween God and man, of keeping cur tains lifted that reveals the heart of the eternal, and keeping the door open that reveals the heart of man in it's need of God.

 Lodge a social agency, Christian in principle it must be for expression of spirit of brotherhood, is but an echo of the spirit of Christianity.

Declined tho Job.

A writer of cheap fiction relates a
trick played on him by a collaboration
in the days when dime novels were
longer than they are now, and the
compensation made it worth while for
two men to write one story between
them. After his partner had finished
the first chapter Of their initial col
liberation it was handed over with
the following announcement:
'There. I've just thrown the hero
over thousand foot cliff and told the
reader that nothing could prevent the
lad from falling to death on the rocks
below. It is up to you to save the
boy"
The other writer said nothing. but
sat down and wrote furiously for an
hour. Then he quietly handed the
manuscript back. A glance at the
second chapter showed the funny man
that his friend had completely ignored
the events in the first part Of the
story. introduced a new set Of char
acters and left the hero still hanging
over the cliff. waiting to be rescued
by his creator.-New York Sun.

Woman Gave Us The
Stars In Our Flag.

The actual facts in regard to the IN
aroduction of the stars in the blue field
6f our flag are obscure. But it is a
coincidence, at least that Washing
toms coat of arms contains both stars
and stripes.
While we do not positively know to
whom belongs the distinction of origin
ally designing the adopted form of the
flag, little if any doubt, exists in regard
to the maker of the first official"
standard of the United States. 1t is a
well-established fact that in July, 1916,
a committee of Congress, consisting Of
General Washington, Robert Morris
and Colonel Ross, called upon Mrs.
Betsy Ross, Seamstress residing in
ArchStreet, Philadelphia, and arran-
ged with her to make one or more flags
from a rough sketch which they had
brought with them.
The stars in this drawing were six
pointed, after the English pattern.
Mrs. Ross, with woman's appreciation
of what was fitting, suggested that
these be changed to five-pointed stars,
according to the French custom. Cen
eral Washington himself made the
change and drew corrected design
for the flag while seated in Mrs. Ross's
back parlor. The flag thus designed
was made up, and when submitted to
Congress was at once unofficially ad-
opted-THE NEW IDEA WoMAN's MAG

CARE OF RoADWAYs.
They Should Always Be Dustless to BE
Considered Ideal.

ConSidered loeal.
The good roads era has begun in
many states, and already the steam
roller. the piles of crushed rock along
the roadside and the digging out of
the original roadway are familiar
sights in many of the eastern states.
The roads built are generally of APP
proved macadam construction, which.
completed. are perfect strips of white
ribbon running through the green
fields and hills Of the rural sections.
These roads are perfectly built. and
as soon as completed the farmers and
other ratepayers contentedly sit back
and feel contented. This is Il serious
error aud one being made in maDv
states.
Many fail to realize that whenever
dust is raised road is being destroy
ed. This is particularly the case on
smooth macadam surfaces. where there
is nothing to hold the dust on the
road and where every cross wind
blows off any loose material.
AS soon as roads are built arrange
ments should he made to keep them in
repair. Some dust preventive should
be used Immediately macadam roads
are completed in order to prevent dust.
Oil. tar aud many special prepara-
tons are now on the market. and the
communities should be educated to
look upon these additions as legiti-
mate part of the road maintenance.
California has its oiled roads, over
which motoring is a pleasure to the
motorist and not dust path to the
citizen who happens to be on the road
the same day or who has the misfor-
tune to reside along a well Travelled
highway.
Massachusetts has proved that road

economical than continuous applica

Unique Roadmakina Plan.

Judge William T.. Porter of Law
renee county. Pa, has unique idea
for improving the roads. His plan is
a Jail on wheels-that is. place where
prisoners can be locked up at night
and transported from place to place
and employed in roadmaking during
the day. He put his idea to test, and
the results were eminently satisfac-
tory. The prisoners graded away a
high hill on the West Pittsburg road
near Newcastle and constructed 0
cement bridge over a culvert eighty
feet long. The only expense to the
county from this bridge that would
ordinarily have cost thousands Of dol
lars was for the material and the serv-
ices of an engineer. The men en-
ployed were sentenced from ten tc
ninety days and were Informed that
the sentence would be materially
lessened If they would work on the
roads and not attempt to escape, ard
they worked.
