IN LIVELY TILT
REGARDING PETlTIONlNG CON-
cREss FOR FUNDS FOR CON-
PREHENSIVE PLAN OF ROAD.

Richmond, Va, Nov 2@.-The resoln-
tions committee Of the national good
roads congress, after a five nours
stormy session Tuesday night, by a
vote of TO ., voted to report favor
ably a resolution petitioning the fed
eral congress to appropriate funds for
a comprehensive plan of highway inn
provement.
.Iohn a. Stewart of New York, who
led the opposition, declared that if the
government We're to improve 10 per
cent of the roads OF the United States
the cost would be s2,5O0,O0o, 600 a
year.
Senator Swanson OF Virginia asked
the committee to approve a definite
plan carrying expenditure of $780,
100000 to $4,000 600 year. This was
refused

of federal appropriation for highway

reloped into an acute row. What
looked like a majority of the dele
gates declared theil intentions OF put
ting the convention on record for the
adopt'ons at the rate of $50,000oo0 4
year.
President l.. w. Pake, who is also
director of the good roads in the de
partment of agriculture, ruled that
no motions for federal appropriations
would be reported from the floor of
the convention. This resulted in sew
eral heated charges and counter
charges. A batch of federal aid reso-
lutions did get TO the resolutions com
mittee, however, through the maZes
of parliamentary practice. Acting
Secretary Charles Fl. Light declared
that the American Highway Improve
ment association would flatly decline
TO be bound by any action the conven-
ton might take asking federal help.

Young
Mothers

No young woman, IN the Joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
icai ordeal she is to Undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon tile care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the eXpectaut mothers sys-
tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis-
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme
function. No better advice could be
given young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; it Is a
medicine that has proven its value i'll

FRANCIS WILSON
 PLEASES LARGE
 HOUSE AT PARK
Comedian Makes Curtain Speach, Following Repeated Encores -Bridgeporter in Caste is Applauded

In play written by himself, Fran cis Wilson furnished two hours of keen enjoyment and heart interest to a large audience at the Park Theatre, last night. The story of the play hinges about Thomas Beach, whose dislike of children is carried to ridicul- ous extremes. The role is played by Wilson, who brings to it conviction and humor impossible to anybody else
 The play is staged in one scene, which estopped long waits between acts and increased the enjoyment of the audience accordingly.
 The baby in the drama was takngly presented by Baby Davis, who won all hearts.
 Edna Bruns, a conscientious actress, took the leading feminine role of Win- fired West.
 Incidentally interest was given to the production for Bridgeporters by the presence in the caste of Richard Gordon, in the part of Theodore liar ject. MT. Gordon is the son of John e. Gerbich, 71S Lafayette street, the we'll known barber. Mr. Gordon has been seen several times in his home town, where his friends note with pleasure his growth and progress in his chosen profession.
 MT. Wilson, responding to repeated encores, made a curtain speech, which was greeted with much applause.

pr. Johnson and Fruit.

The return of the strawberry season w1s always heartily welcomed by Dr. Johnson. for. as he once declared, Of etlawberries and cream he never could Have too much. Fortunately he some times had opportunity to indulge his taste to the full. for his friend, pr. Taylor of Lich1eld, whom he con trived when possible to visit at straw berry time. was rather a noted yfruit grower. and when at his house it was. as Johnson said. with gusto, Straw berries and cream, toujours strawber- ries and creamr' A voracious eater at any time. Johnson's appetite for fruit was almost limitless. Mrs. Thrale tells us that he used often to eat half . dozen peaches before breakfast, and then frequently she had heard him complain that never in all his life had he quite as much wall fruit as he de sired, save once. The exceptional oc- casion was during Q visit to Lord San dys' seat at Ombersley. The exact quantity he then devoured has not been recorded. but he was accused of clearing . whole wall side.-Pan Mall Gazette.

The croeodiies pived,

The cunning of wild animals in con- cealing themselves in moments of danger Is we'll known. A party. spend ing week on the Nile, were watching eight or ten crocodiles summing them selves on the surface of small la goon. It was determined to trap these monsters. if possible. The water was breast deep. including about two feet or more of heavy mud. Four nets were tied together, so as to make one long enough to reach across the lagoon. and this was weighted on the bottom. This net was drawn with long poles from each shore, and behind the net came line of men yard apart, prod ding the mud with poles. The scheme looked like an admirable one. but the crocodiles sleepily dived, and that was the last seen of them. The water was dragged backward and forward, but they had burrowed so deeply in the mud that not one could be found.

A Political Genius.

Congressmen sometimes adopt queer expedients to gain the good will of their constituents. Years ago a mem Der from western state was afraid that his first term would be his last, as he had not managed to make him. self & power in congress. While he was debating what he should do a friend said. You live near the center of the United States. don't you?'' "Yes." "Then why don't you intro duce a bill to have the capital moved to the principal town in your dis trict?" The congressman introduced the bill, and the people of his district at once concluded he was a great man and sent him back for another term. He reintrOduced the bill in the next congress. and, although it was prompt 1y pigeonholed in committee. his con- stituents gave him third term as a reward for his genius.
