such an orchestra as Creatore's except

the opinion that Mr.. Creators would

There is something in that view, TO

mond the greatest and most earnest
gathering of good roads people that
has ever been held In the United states.
1t is a magnificent opportunity, and
ii is hoped and expected that here a
blaze will be kindled that will sweep
round the whole country. There is no
movement that directly concerns so
many people. that affects so many in
suits. Other States are far ahead of
Virginia in the building of good high
ways. Take the county of Mecklen-
burg, North Carolina. for example, and
in that county alone there are more
than 1875 miles of macadam roads. Take
the county Of Darlington, South Caro-
lima, and in that county there are 500
miles Of sand clay roads, and In these
two counties there have been enormous
strides in material prosperity, as there
VIII be in all other counties that would
show the same spirit of enterprise, and

will do its duty, and the President will

Geraldine Farrur Is both singer
and thinker-a woman of idens as
well as of words. as so many women
are not Speaking of people reducing
their flesh. she takes little stock In
exercise or diet. Here Is her idea:
The way to lose flesh is to take an
active mental interest in everything
that goes on about you. The way for
any woman to grow thin lis to keep hcl.
mind away from growing fat. She
should never think Of herself as stout
never say to herself, L am too
large to do this or to wear that A
woman should always think of herself
as a person young and buoyant, men,

Just plain thnking--that is the
Farrar recipe-and it is u good one. In
order to keep thin, let the fat person
read thoughtfully William James

taries of William Blackstone, instead
Of Chambers latest best seller or other

Upon his entrance to the Univer-

vent he gained the reputation of being
the best orator at the University. In
