On its face this speaks well for the

Il one has TO use some OF the unlight-
~ streets after dark?
1t seems that the white way after
all is inequitable. in that it lights
only small part of the town
The business streets are splendid
Iy lighted. But il seems little ex-
trayaeant to have so much light in
the business streets when il is need
III so badly in other parts of the
town.

business section than is needed be-

boys can afford to keep an automO-
bile. Tom Smith of haywood used
his eyes as well as his guide book
on his trip through Europe last sum-
mer. He noticed that the automo-
biles seemed to have ragged tires,
but on a closer examination found
that the machine owner had simply
cut off the clincher part of set of
old tires and had slipped the old tire
over the tread of the new tire as a
cover Thus the new tire had per-
feet protection. The chewing chain
now tried in vain 10 pierce the tires

On Sunday there would be a

night. as soon as the weekly reports
were written up, the timekeeper
boarded the passenger train which

one or two of them in the lobby. To-

The future seemed dazzlingly
bright to young college man when
the roadmaster to whom he had ap-
piled for job offered to let him
work as timekeeper The student
had visions of vacation filled with
sightseeing and pleasure.
Quite different he felt when he
stepped from the train at a cross
roads station and started up the track
to find the foreman of the extra gang.
His toothpick shoes, rah-rah hat and
suitcase pasted over with pennants
seemed to be strangly out of place
"a jarring tone amidst the natural
scenery of the countryside.
After introducing himself to the
foreman he was asked to check up
the wOrkmen as il was almost quit
ting time. Down the middle of the
track he went, checking the men by
the numbers on the buttons pinned
to their caps or shirts. Then to the
car with the boss and supper OF
bacon and eggs and black coffee.
After the meal he took a glance al
his summer home. 1t was a bunk car
with bunk in each of the four cor
ners and table near one of the
side doors. Near the other side
door was a sloping desk along the

cook did the cooking. In the hol,
