way association opened here today for

the delegates. Rome first gave tho
world good roads," he said but we
have forgotten, her lesson and are now
beginning TO learn all over again."
John Brisben Walker. director OF
publicity for the Panama Pacific ex-
position. said California was anxious
to see the Pacific highway reality
because II would force the construction
of an oceant ocean highway, the
value Of which 10 the whole coast could
not be over estimated
Good roads, he continued. "offer
the cheapest possible transportation
and their coming viii mean great
change in the general economic con-
ditions.'
THE ideal road should be 60 feet
wide with no acute angles, with lanes
for high and low speed traffic, and
with division line to prevent vehicles
from cutting into the stream of travel
moving In an opposite direction from
their own"
a. Il. Fletcher. chief engineer of the
California state highway commission,
emphatically denied that politics had
any part In the plans of the commits
sion.
Two hundred and sixty men are now
employed In surveying and building
the California system, said Fletcher;
500 miles of field work have been
done. 27 miles are under actual con-
struction and Ii have been advertised.
The commission has $1S,OO0,OoO to
spend.
Seven per cent will be the steepest
gradient and 16 feet the narrowest
mountain width of the 200 miles of
road planned. Of which 900 will be

ON LIVING TO Be OLD

vain hope that sometime it will be
useful. AS a general thing death in
tervenes long before any such emery
ency occurs. A benevolent genius
takes up the subject of superhuous fat
in the current number of the Satur-
day Evening Post and tells a crate
full world how to get rid of it.
His prescription is too simple to be
followed. Nor is that the only obiec-
ton. 1t is also too sensible, it re-
quires too much exertion of the will
and it is too inexpensive What we
all want of our doctors is something
elaborate, learned and costly. This
tells us that if we want to get rid of
superfluous fat the thing to do is to
stop eating more than we need. When
the body has just enough food to keep
it going comfortably it can not lay up
any surplus in the form of fat. There
is the whole subject in a nutshell.
Our author applied this principle to
himself and in a few months reduced
bis weight from $50 to 1876 pounds.
Being naturally a heavy man, he
thought this was doing pretty WELL
and we think so too. The wonder of
his case is that he figured out the cure
for himself. He had tried all the fads,
exercise, diet, dosing, and found them
worthless. Then the happy idea of
checking his greed broke into his
mind. He applied it in practice, and
10, the happy result. His advice to
everybody who is fat, particularly to
the women, is "go and do likewise. -

PLOT IS ALLEGED
At WILHELMSHAVEN

COLOGNE, December 1.-THE Rhen
tsh Westphalian zeitung publishes a
story of the alleged discovery of a
plot on the part of Great Britain tc
blow up Wilhelmshaven.
The zeitung processes to have re-
ceived it's information from one of the
best informed officials, who said that
the postal authorities, becoming sus.
picious of repeated money orders i'm
favor of deck officers and chief mates,
finally seized some OF the letters.
These showed that the plans to the en-.
trance to Wilhelmshaven war harbor
as well as plans to the water supply
and the contents of the secret code
book, had been betrayed to the Brit
ish admiralty.
The paper points out that with such
information at its command Great
Britain could blow up the entrances to
the war harbOr at the decisive mo-
ment, rendering the harbor utterly
useless and Germany, at the very BE-
ginning of war, helpless to defend her.
self at sea.
To prevent the threatened danger,
the Zeitung continues, a German
squadron remained for weeks on pa
troll duty: Recent conferences be-
tween the emperor, the minister of ma
rine, the chief of the admiralty staff
and the chief of the marine depart
ment dealt with this dangerS
LONDON, December 1.-THE story
that the British admiralty has seized
plans of the locks and water supply
and the secret signal codes of Will
helshaven, with the idea, in the event
of war. of blowing up the harbor's en-
trance and thus bottling up the Ger
man fleet, is regarded here as a mere
romance. The story is thought to have
been told by German officers to the
Westphalian zeitung, which is
anti-British and the organ of
the war material trade.

KING GEORGES REVOLUTIONARY
SCHEME APPALS THE TORIES

LONDON, December 10. - King
Georges announcement in Delhi Of
proposed great changes in the gov
eminent of India has thrown London
public opinion into a state of tumult
Old school students of Indian policy
are aghast and they act and talk like
men stunned by the explosion of a
bombshell. Startling and tremen-
dous" was the phrase applied by Lord
CurzOn to the contemplated reforms.
Others Share Approximations
Lord Lansdowne and other conserv-
atives share Lord Curzon's amazement
and apprehension. The official leader
of the opposition, Bonar Law, de-
scribes the proposals as profoundly
grave, but he does not venture to ex-
press a definite opinion about them
Leading conservative newspapers take
a like position. They are disposed
to condemn the scheme, and yet they
are clearly impressed if not dazzled by
it as something bold and brilliant in
constructive craftsmanship.
Liberals are delighted. They de-
clare that political old fogyism is
doomed in India, as it has been DOOM
ed in the united Kingdom. The re-
forms please practically the entire
coalition in that body are foreshadow-
ed, probably early in February.

PRESIDENT TAFT STARTED. PROBE
Of The DYNAMITING PLOT

LOS ANGELES, December 1S.-PFes-
ident Taft personally initiated the gov
ernment's present investigation, both
here and at indianapolis, OF the dyna-
mite conspiracy in the which the Nc.
Namara brothers figured.
When he visited Los Angeles Octo-
Der 16 the President was appraised by
Oscar Lawler, then assistant of Dis
trict Attorney John D. Fredericks, of
the strong case built up by the latter
against the McNamaras.
Acts Promptly After Visit.
The Presidents action was taken
forty-eight hours after he left here.
The Mcnamara trial was then only
five days old, but the President was
convinced, it is said, by the army of
facts gathered by the state and was
told that the Mcnamara brothers were
not the only guilty persons.
Details of alleged tampering with
witnesses and evidence in various
parts of the country, and the inability
of the state authorities here to bring
all offenders to justice, were laid be-
fore the President. 1t was final move
of the people here to ask the nations
chief executive to a~sist them in a
movement in which y were being
opposed on many sides he local fed
eral authorities had refused to take
steps pending orders from Washing
ton and District Attorney Fredericks
was unable to go to Washington to
present the facts. 1t was through Mr..
Lawler, friend of th President, that
action was begun.
LAWYER Maintains Silence,
Il cannot discuss any conversations
| have had with the President" de-
clared Mr.. Lawler today. "Nor can [
talk about any of the present phases
of the governments investigation"
1t can be stated positively, however,
by the Associated Press that the Presi-
dent was approached by Mr. Lawler
after District Attorney Fredericks
vainly had sought another way to bring
the federal authorities into the case.
Fredericks knew, he said, that fed
eral statutes had been violated, He
knew that there was evidence in In
dianapolis which was not accessible 10
the state authorities here except
through the Intervention of the federal
government. He had heard of the will
ingness of United States District At
torney Miller at indianapolis to take
immediate action, but authorization
was needed from some one higher

told him the circumstances. Accord

details of that conference. Mr.. Lawler
pointed out the number of labor lead
