Whencs the "Crass Widow"

"O0OC0 kVO
To give positively the origin Of tho
expression grass widow" appears to
be Impossible. The authorities do not
agree on this point One contends
that a woman who said to her friends
that her husband had gone to grass"
following a separation Is entitled to
the credit Of coming the expression.
Other writers have attempted to
find an explanation Of It in the French
word grace" signifying widow BY
courtesy. In the Scandinavian Ian.
guages the prefix grass" being In
common use, others have conjectured
that It comes from the word grad.
Ing" meaning greedy; this signifyins
a woman who longs for the husband
who ID gone.
These give a wide enough choice.
This is the season Of the year
when mothers feel very much con
cerned over the frequent colds con-
tracted by their children, and have
abundant reason for 1t as every cold
weakens the lungs, lowers the vitali-
ty and paves the way for the more
serious diseases that 80 often follow.

would mean a state system Of good
roads interlacing every county and
practically every township. Ohio In

was inaugurated centuries ago the idea
Of leaving the matter Of roads to each

In France the old parish" system

Can Be Pushed Through At
The Next Session
And Will Probably Ask For A
Half Min
Six Millions For Two Years
Would Be Available

Defeat of the good roads amend.
ment will not prevent good roads
contest in the next general assembly,
says the Columbus Dispatch. Officials
of the Ohio Good Roads federation de-
clared. Saturday, that the next assem-
bly, will be asked to make direct tax
levy for road building. This will be
the alternative to the bond issue, now
impossible under the constitution.
There are many who believe that
the direct levy for roads will stand a
better chance with the legislature than
bond issue would have stood, had
the amendment been ratified by the
people. 1t will be remembered that
even IL the amendment had been
adopted the actual issue of bonds
would have been optional with the as.
sembly. !
The good roads supporters declare
that the fact that the amendment lost
by o margin Of only two thousand
makes them hopeful that the senti.
ment for good roads is strong and that
the assembly cannot fail to take cog.
nizance of 1t.
The precise plan of the Ohio Good
Roads federation is to ask the gen.
eral assembly to make direct tax
levy for good roads Of one-half MILL
II is estimated that this would mean
revenue Of s3.OOO,OO0 annually, and
would thus involve an appropriation Of
approximately $6,O0O,OO by the assem-
bly, for the two ensuing years. Figured
upon the property valuation OF the
state, 1t is estimated that each one
thousand dollars worth Of property In
the state would pay annually only
trifie over Is cents under this plan,
and that the average cost annually
for road building to each person in the
state, man, woman and child, would
be only 80 cents.
Had the bond issue amendment been
ratified the plan was to have the as
sembly issue bonds at the rate OF
s5,OOO,OOO annually for road improve
ment, until the $50 900 900 limit should
have been reached. Under this plan,
however, provision would have to have
been made for the payment OF Interest
and for annual appropriation to create
a sinking fund. Under direct levy
all this will be obviated. The support
ers of the direct levy will not be called
upon to meet the argument that the In
terest will weigh heavily upon the
state while bondholders will profit
Such arguments would have to have
been met under bond issuing system
Under direct levy bringing $4,000,
900 a year, 1t is estimated that 5000
miles of roads can be improved annu
ally. There are approximately $4,000
miles of roads the state, and the
road building would therefore cover
period of ten years.
