rounded edges. The best for the pur-
pose has been found to be what is
commonly called trap rock. This trap
rock is very hard and tough and
breaks angularly. Such stone
wedges in tightly between it's neigh
bors, and if properly wedgnd will not
work loose as round stone would.
A round stone will rock like a cradle
if pressure is brought to bear ON
either end and this will soon disin-
tegrate the driveway. Roo..,ng stones
will also occur If any soft material is
used in building up the driveway.
For the best results, and this is fol-
lowing MacAdam's teachings, stones
of about one-inch cube should be used
all the way from the foundation to the
bed. These should be put down in
layers and each layer rolled with a
light roller. No sand, breaker dust
or soft material whatever should be
used in building up the driveway.
In the rolling, one of the most seri-
Gus mistakes in roadway building is
usually made. To get good driveway
made quickly heavy roller is used
and, apparently, this method produces
a good driveway if first appearances
only are considered. But it is penny
wise and pound foolish. Light rolling.
of course, requires a greater length
of time than heavy rolling and there
fore those who are having driveways
built will generally insist on the use
Of the heavy roller. No greater mis-
take could be made. No matter how
we'll a driveway has been built, q
heavy roller is almost sure to crush
the stone and spoil it, thus nullify
ing the benefit of any good practice
that may have been followed up tG
this stage. Light rolling, on the othel
hand, will gradually pack the whole
mass into solid concrete structure
with each stone so wedged in as tc
be practically immune against dis
placement,

erything but the music. The old pi-
ano resounded to her hand; joyous
waves Of harmony rolled through the
room enriching the air as carried by
the violin. The player changed his
theme. Old German folk songs, cho-
rails, snatches Of operas-he played
them all lovingly, and the girl followed
ct the piano below.
All at once the music ceased. Elsa
drew a long breath as If awakening
from dream, but she still sat at the
piano with her little thoroughbred
hands resting on the keyboard.
There was the sound of footsteps
on the stairs and then a tap on the
half-open door, A big, blond young
smiling in the doorway.
"The music, 1t was good, ach so
good,' he said approvingly. "The
songs of the fatherland move the
heart, is 1t not SOP"
The tears rose again to Elsa's eyes,
but this time they did not burn; they
were refreshing like summer showers
At first she could not speak. The
young man seemed not to notice her
emotion. He drew up chair and
talked easily until she had recovered
herself. Before she knew it she was
chatting gayly with this cheerful
stranger, who was indeed not stran
ger for he was from the home coun
try. She smiled, she actually laughed
the little sad Elsa! The color rose
in her cheeks and two dimples came
into being. The young man, whose
name proved to be Rudolph Heide, en-
1oyed the transformatin.
After that evening the violin and
piano kept company whenever there
WAS an opportunity. When there was

A Girl of Gold
BY ANNA PHILLIPS SEE
Copyright. 1917. BY Associated Literary press.)

For servant to play the piano and
play 1t we'll is an unusual thing. Mrs.
Green, the harassed keeper Of New
York lodging house, wondered at her
German maids proficiency. But New
York is the clearing house of the ma
tons and Mrs. Green had learned not
to be surprised at strange happen
tngs. Elsa had come to her with no
recommendations but her honest face
and her willingness to work. She told
her employer nothing of her past.
At Mrs. Green's there was plenty
to do and the German maid toiled all
day long uncomplainingly. When her
work was done she asked for but one
privilege--to play on the battered
piano in the parlor If no one was
about. Then and then only she smiled
as she drew from the keys the melo-
dies of her fatherland. Why she had
left that country was her own secret,
but she was plainly pining for her
home and people.
One evening Mrs. Green and the
noisy dodgers were all away. Over
the house brooded blessed quiet.
Elsa stole into the parlor and seated
herself at the piano, but her fingers
only rested on the keys, she was not
playing. Her thoughts were sad. No
one in this vast city cared whether
she lived or died. She had not a
single friend. The tears battered on
the piano keys as she rested her head
against the music rack.
Suddenly, from above, came the
sweet tones of violin played with
skill and feeling. Elsa listened en-
tranced, every nerve thrilling in ap-
probation Of the exquisite harmonies
From the music of the masters the
player glided into German air dear
to the heart of the homesick listener.
Her fingers automa tically felt for the
accompaniment, ard she softly
touched the keys in time with the vio-
In. Then she forgot herself and ev-

Griffith Fancies Laporie.

Clarke Griffith of the Cincinnati
Reds was inclined to get sarcastic
about his park sharers, those same
Browns, at Hot Springs, but he did
loosen up enough to pay compliment
to Austin and Laporte.
"They are singing the praises of
Jimmy Austin, the third baseman, who
went to st. Louis with Laporte," says
Griff. That's all right. Austin is a
nice player, and l look for him to
help Wallace a great deal.
But don't overlook this Laporte fell
now. He's a great player and q great

I These can be little rolls

fully equipped to tuck
in a satchel for travelling, small
work bag to hold bit of embroidery,
a hanging bag to have materials in
readiness for odd jobs and COLLAPSE
packing.
For the roll cut bronze leather into
Il strip six inches wide and twelve
inches long, lined with Powered silk
in the same proportions and bound
with brown silk braid. Make two
circles of pasteboard two inches in
diameter with leather and silk. Sew
the strips around them to make a
pocket for spools. On the long flap
sew notched leaves of flannel for
needles, and beyond it stitch into
compartments a half inch wide rib
bon to mold scissors, bodkin, thimble,
stiletto. Fasten lengths of ribbon to
the end for tying the case when
rolled.
A collapsible work box may be
made from a five inch square of card
board and two 12-inch squares, one

figured plain silk for inside.
Insert the small square between the
two pieces Of material and stitch
closely around it, Round off corners
of bag and bind with ribbon or silk
braid, three-quarters of an inch wide.
To the center of two of the sides
sew pockets Of the lining material
and on the other two sections put a
needlebook of leaves of flannel and a
small heart-shaped pin cushion.
Sew ten-inch strips of ribbon, two
to each corner, placing them about
an inch in each side of the rounded
edge These when tied draw the ma
terial into shape, throwing the full
ness on inside of box. A little prac
tice with paper will make the idea
plain.
1t is so useful to have near the
dressing table some sort OF sewing
equipment that the little hanging
case will surely be acceptable. Gov

to the case by short lengths Of ribbon
or cord knotted at one end so the
spool does not slip off, the upper enc

THE PENSION INCREASE.

The report from Washington is that
after Investigating the matter fully,
Secretary Fisher Of the Interior De
partment concludes that the adoption
Of the Sherwood dollar.a day pension
bill as il passed the House. would in
crease the Government 5 annual cz-
penditures AT least S75 900, 900. But the
Government paid upwards of SlJ7 .000,-
600 in pensions for the year ending
June 30, 1917. To increase this by So,
100000 would mean an increase Of the
pension roll 10 1922 ,00O. 900, an cnorm-
Gus sum, truly, to pay for pensions an
nuallv forty-scven years after the close
OF the war. To be sure, the pension
payments are not altogether on account
OF the Civil War: but tue Civil War
pensions constitute the great body and
bulk of the expenditures.
Apparently President Taft. in calling
for an investigation Of the probable cf
feet Of the passage of the Sherwood
bill on tho pension expenditures, has
an idea that he might veto it in case
it were concurred in by the Senate. AS
We have said in these columns hereto
fore. We believe the bill ought to be
defeated. It is not a service pension
hill at all, but a clear case of favorit-
ism and bounty 70 those who have least
earned il, because their service was
short and insignificant during the war.
\ service pension bill that would pay
dollar n day TO the survivors of the
war for every day they served above
year. or above two years. In the war
of the Rebellion would be something
like n service bill; but TO lump to
uether those who are already rccclv-
ing ana have already received far more
than their due for the short and slight
service they rendered, is at once an
imposition upon the country, and
comparative injustice 10 those who
bore the stress and burden of the day
in that great war.

ETHICS OF PUBLICATION.

An interesting case is reported from

mauv wears ago. before NJ France had
made his place in literature and
achieved that fame which makes his
writings important and valuable. he
wrote small history of France which
was accepted aud paid for by the
French publishing house which he now
makes defendant in his suit. This house
did not print the history at that time.
