TIMES HAVE CHANGED

In grandfather's day the
American family stayed
pretty much in one place.
1t grew up on the old farm.
or lived in the comfortable
farm house. The children
went not more than a mile
to school, and going away
to college was exceptional.
Travel had not become
general.
But the world has been ex-
tended. Today the typical
American family is scattered
much Of the time. Father
hurries back and forth be-
tween cities on business.
Mother has her own interests.
and goes to meetings, con-
ventions, on visits and jaunts.
These modern conditions
are all good. They mean a
broader life and better OPP
portunities. But they also
bring a certain element Of
anxiety and loneliness. due
to separation. Trains are
delayed, epidemics break out
in schools, rumors and alarms
come flying from many di-
rections, very often ground
less, yet causing worry and
fear.
The first resource in such
emergencies should be the
long distance telephone.
The family with the best
realization Of the telephone
possibilities enjoys the great
est peace of mind.

Objections Don't Hold Good

Two objections raised by those opposed
to the calling of a special session of the
legislature for the purpose of allowing
good roads work in this state to go on,are
first the cost of the session. and second
that the money would not be available
for ninety days after the passage of any
bill.
To the first the good roads organiza-
tons replied with the guarantee to bear
the expenses of the extra session. and at
the same time attention was called to the
fact that the bill now being initiated by
the State Highway Commission. will cost
the state almost as much as the extra
session. The expense of initiating this
bill, which also provides for an increase
in the salaries of the members of the
Highway Commission out of state finds
In answer to the argument raised con-
corning 90 days delay, after passage of
bill by the Legislature called especially
for that purpose. before the funds would
become available. a committee of the
County Commissioners of the state agreed
that the counties would proceed at once
with the work upon the signing of such
bill by the Governor advancing necessary
funds from the respective counties to pro-
seeute the work during the 80 days in
terval required by law.
The statement containing these facts
as presented to the Governor. was signed
by E. E, Sommers. President of tie

and Chas. MeLain, representing the Colo

Tramp; known Positively

Attorney William X. Campbell, Of
No. 821 Hammond building, has been
retained by the family Of George
Spengler, to take care of the inter-
ests OF the half-wit during the investi-
cation through which the police ex-
pect to prove that he was the slayer
OF little Matilda Refs, and that his
confession to the deed was the truth,
and not the rambling statement Of an
idiot.
Attorney Campbell says that he has
a complete alibi for Spengler, and has
10 witnesses to prove that the sus-
pect was not within striking distance
of the scene of the crime, at the time
II was committed.
He has furnished the police with
the list, and with each OF their state
ments, hoping to have the police clear
the matter up to their satisfaction
that Spenglers confession is the
nightmare of a disordered mind.
But the police say that the element
of time In the alibi does not conflict
with their theory that Spengler was
present at the time of the crime, and
that he really committed it.
There are two very important ele-
ments in the police case that are

ler's knowledge of the way the crime
was committed; his knowledge Of the
