When needy Mrs. Caderette required
n letter OF introduction to the benevo-
lent association Jules Duport, proud
Of his ability to express himself In
English, obligingly helped her out.
Imagine the bewilderment of the Sec
rotary when a large. robust lady In
search of work presented what well
meaning Jules had written:
This Is Miss Caderette that I in.
duce wherewith to everybody. This
lady has been sick for a long time and
Is stin In bed. She has FIVE children,
all little and partly dead. and is In
very poor condition. as she have no

herself. This lady is his brothers

As the sick abed lady could speak
no English. she was unable to explain
why she looked so well. but the secre-

Shawnee County Raises Road Tax and

Topeka and Shawnee county. KanS
have taken an interest in good roads
work. Thirty township road Overseers
and trustees met at the courthouse
and discussed good roads troubles and
the poll tax difficulties. Plans for a
uniform good roads campaign in the
rural districts and a few suggestions
were sent to the board of county com
m~issioners. Tax levies for the greatest
good roads campaign ever inaugurated
In the county have been made by the
various townships and the men who
attended the meeting will discuss the
way to spend the money with the
largest returns to their road districts,
In many Of the townships a ROAD
levy as high as three mills has been
levied. This is permitted under a ne"
law enacted by the 1911 legislature
1t enabled the several townships 10
double their road levying and next
year will witness more road WORK IN
the county than ever before. Almost
every township has a levy of not less
than two mills, while several others
went to the limit of three mills. Inc
county board has offered to allow INC
townships to use the steam road gra"
er at $40 a mile.

respectively, the Washington national
highway. Roosevelt national highway,
Lincoln national highway, Jefferson
national highway, Monroe national
highway and Lee national highway.
1t is estimated that these seven
highways will cost about $14S,OO0,OOO
and Senator Cullom's plan is to raise
the money by issuing bonds to cover
the cost of actual construction. After
the roads are built the plan is to
maintain them by collecting tolls.
The good roads movement appar-
emily is contagious. President Taft is
to take an active part in the good
roads convention in November, and
the governors of all the states through
which the transcontinental caravan
passed pledged themselves to this
work. In several of the western
states, including Arizona and New
Mexico. the movement is already
under way, and it is proposed there TO
build their own portion or link of the
ocean to ocean highway. Prominent
statesmen have asserted that a sys-
ten Of good roads is of more impor-
lance than the Panama canal. Present
indications are that both soon will be
realities.
An era Of good road building ap-
parently is at hand. The roads Of the
United States are conceded TO be Ia
mentally bad. but that is not strange
In view of the fact that the country
is comparatively new and in many
hundreds of years before Christ are
said 10 have had model roads. Their
work. however. was comparatively
small when set beside that confronting
the United States.
To the white haired veteran, Ezra
Meeker, much credit is due for the
present good roads movement. Mr..
Meeker crossed the plains from Indian
apolis to Puyallup. Wash, over the old
Oregon trail in 1852 with the custom
airy OK team and prairie schooner. Dur
ing the past few years he has repeated
that toilsome journey two or three
times in the same for the sole
sentimental reason of saving from OBJ
livion the route of the old Oregon trail.
AS a result Of his efforts the route has
been marked by monuments. Mr..
Meeker may not live to see his dreams
realized, but he has done his share Of
q big task.
The most important factors in the
good roads movement are the motorists,
They are famous for getting action,
and they want good roads. II II esti-
mated that there are $4,000 motor
cars east OF the Rocky mountains, and
that $40.000.O00 are annually spent In
Europe. Many autos are shipped across
the ocean that the owners may tout In
the old country. A national highway
would mean that much OF this money
would be kept nc home. California
alone possesses 10000 m~otorcars. and
II Is believed this number will be
doubled II the national highway Is
made an improved reality.

There ip one NOV ement that is now
engrossing the thinking portion of the
country that has universal support. 1t
is without political preference or party
creed. 1t numbers its supporters in
every party. The importance OF the
good roads movement is conceded ev-
e~rywhere, from the highest financier
to the most humble laborer, and all
apparently are willing their share
toward obtaining b. highways.
The longest anu most important
highway proposed is the ocean to ocean
road from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast. That such a highway is a posi-
billy has just been proved by a party
Of forty men. women and children in
twelve touring cars. This party made
the trip from Atlantic City to Los An
geles, more than 400 miles, In thirty
days. at an average OF 1867 : miles a

were broken. and several of the tires
finished the transcontinentai journey
with the anne air In them with which
they started. Considering the hundreds
OF miles Of desert and mountainous
country traversed, this showing was re-
markable. 1t furnishes conclusive
proof that a transcontinental highway
Is already a reality and that all that
is needed is improvement. There is no
desire to convey the idea that the
transcontinental journey was not din
cult There were innumerable dificul-
ties that would have discouraged any
but the boldest motorists.
On Aug. 10 Senator Cullom OF I'LL
nois introduced in the United States
senate a bill providing for the con-
struction Of the most extensive sys-
tenn OF national highways ever pro-
posed In the history OF the world.
His plan is to make the national cap

Why Rubb.r Tires Grow Hot.

When an automobile IL running at
high speed the rubber tires are rapidly
warmed. and the heat sometimes be-
comes very great. with resultant in
jury to the rubber. The Of this
accumulation OF heat In the tire Ia
ascribed to the kneading of the rubber.
which generates heat faster than 1t can
be radiated away. For this reason
manufacturers have found It to be an
advantage TO have metal parts In the
tread. such a. the ends Of rivets, In
contact with the tire, because the metal
being q good radiator. helps to carry
on the heat Of the outer air.

and two caps of purple velvet, furred
up with ermine for the two crowns.
The regalia used in today's cere-
monies, are comparatively modern
construction. None of them, with two
somewhat doubtful exceptions, can
date back further than the year 1861
The old regalial which were smashed
to pieces by the emissaries of the Long
] Parliament in 1649, included, among
other things an ancient crown orig
inally worn by King Alfred the Great
and employed at the coronation of all
subsequent monarchs. There were
I also the chalice of Saint Edward the
confessor and the crown of Queen
Edith, his wife. When the restora-
ton had become an accomplished fact
the destroyed crown jewels were re-
placed.
King George got of with much less
kissing than was customary at other
coronations. Even at that, he seemed
: to tire of the osculatory procession Of
aged men that passed before him, en-
planting resounding salutes upon his
cheeks. The Archbishop of Canter-
bury started the kissing bee when he
knelt at the feet of his monarch and
repeated the ancient formula:
"T, Randall Davidson, Primato of all
England, Archbishop of Canterbury,
will be faithful and true and faith and
truth will bear unto you my sovereign
lord. and your heirs, Kings of the Uni
ted Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land.
"And I will do and truly acknowl-
edge the service of the lands I claim
to hold of you, as in right of the
church." And thereupon the Arch
bishop "kisseth the Kings left cheek"
In times past each peer individually
paid homage to the sovereign on the
throne; but at this coronation 1t was
decided, in order to curtsil an unduly
long ceremony that only the first of
each order of nobility should actually
perform the acts of homage namely
kneel at the steps of the throne, swear
allegiance and then, rising, remove his
coronet and ascending to the steps OF
the throne, touch the crown and kiss
