ROAD LAW
Held VOID

Oklahoma City June 1S.-The road
law passed BY the third legislature
providing for the creation OF road dis
tricts, which should issue bonds for
road Improvement purposes, and The
levying Of an ad valorem tax upon the
property OF the district to pay the in
terest and to provide a sinking fund
to take up the bonds, was declared un-
constitutional by the state supreme
court in an opinion by Justice VIII
liams.
The court holds that such an ar
rangement would be contrary TO sec
ton 3, article 10, Of the constitution,
which provides that maximum ad va
loren tax levy for all purposes shall
not exceed slik mills and provides
further how il shall be apportioned
among the state. city county, town.
ship and school districts It is held
that the law seeks to create a new
political subdivision not a county,
city. township or schuol district and
not succeeding in the functions Of any
of them
The court held That the only way in
which work could be done by road
district was on the benefit plan, as in
the case Of drainage work. but thai
counties and townships could continue
TO ,3sne bonds fer ROAD improvements
as hsgetofore The decision was given
in the case Of CLYDE Thompson et al
VS. r Z Rearick from Caddo county,
which is affirmed by the court.

luxury of Balloon Travel.

A Zeppelin airship leaves the earth
with none of the balloons soaring
motion. 1t is just like a Pullman
train, started without perceptible jar
and kept in motion upon a perfect
road bed, perfect track and perfect
wheels. At luncheon time individual
tables are placed in position, and
luncheon is served much as it is in
the ordinary buffet dining car in
America. There is SOUP an entree, a
toast-all piping hot-vegetables,
salad, cheese and coffee. More of a
dinner than luncheon and all served
as though the chef and walters had
the conveniences of a great hotel at
their command. The principles of the
fireless cooker have been brought into
service in preparing the food, the ex-
haust from the engines being made
to supply heat.
The comforts are all those of very
modern hotel. The cabin is kept at
an unvarying comfortable temperature
by means of pipes that carry the ex-
haust heat from the engines. There
is more room for action than in an
ordinary chair car. In the lavatories
are hot and cold water. There is a
library with the daily papers and the
best of books. There is lounge for

Sand and Gravel.

One of the most important indus
tries in the United States of which
comparatively little is written is the
production of sand and gravel. In
1911, according to a report by E. F.
Burchard, just issued by the United
States geological survey, the produc-
tion of sand and gravel amounted to
66,S46,959 short tons, valued at SAL
15S,5S3. The production Of sand of
all kinds was 40,253,977 tons, valued
at $14.43S,500 and that of gra was
26,592,9S2 tons valued at s6,I20. .0S3.
The production of glass sand was val
-ued at s1,457.73 an increase over the
figures of 1910: the sand used for
building in 1911 was valued at ST.
719,2S6. slight decrease as compared
with 1910 This was accounted for
by less activity in 1911 in the build
ing trade. including that of concrete
construction. The production of mold
ing sand in 1911 was valued at S2.132,-
469, marked decrease as compared
with 1910 The production of all 9TH
er sands in 1911. such as sand for
grinding and polishing. fire sand. en-
gine sand and filtration sand, was val
ued at $3,043.012, an increase of over
a million dollars In value as com.
pared with 1910.

Imagination.

That Imagination often lights the
way to discoveries that would never
be made by matter-of.fact plodding
has proved true over and over again.
Illustrations of this in the history Of
chemical science are as numerous as
in other fields of discovery. In this
connection the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association calls to
mind that oxygen was merely a prin-
ciple to Lavoisier in 1777. and that
when, century later. It was produced

MORE THAN SHE COULD BEAR
Heart Of Gentle Old Maid Was
Touched, and Silly Quarrel Inn
mediateiy Came to an End.

Two old ladies who had been loy-
Ing friends for many years had vio-
lent quarrel, and 1t began to look as
If the wound would never heal. Mel
ther one felt like taking the initiative.
and indeed both were too sore to care
to make up. Efforts of mutual
friends were all in vain; representa-
tions to one that the other was suf-
fering met only with the stubborn an
swer that she ought to suffer. They
both insisted that they hoped tho
other would suffer more, and that she
richly deserved it. Some thirteen
months went by like this, and the
one-time intimates saw each other
only on state occasions, that is, at
church each Sunday, where they sat
side by side, too proud to change
their pew because of what had hap
pened. But they never pretended to
notice that the other was there. On
recent Sabbath morning, however,
Miss Sarah glanced around involun-
tarily at sound of sneeZe beside her,
and despite her Will kept her gaze
fixed on Miss Malinda. Then an aw-
full revelation broke in on her mind.
Malinda had come to church with
out handkerchief! Miss Sarah did
not know what the sufferings of a
person about to be electrocuted might
be, but she knew all about being at
church without a handkerchief Ma
linda merited electrocution, in Miss
Sarah's opinion, but no crime was hei-
nous enough to merit such agony as
this. A drop slowly gathered on Ma
linda's pinched nose, and finally fell
OF, giving place to another. Miss Sa-
rah could not bear it. She took out
her own handkerchief surreptitiously,
glad 1t was a big one. Next moment
there was smothered sound of tear
ing cloth and Malinda felt something
pressed into her rigid hand. 1t was
half of the handkerchief, and it
went to Malinda's eyes before it
touched her needy nose. Then two
wrinkled old hands groped for each
other, and through the sermon Miss
Sarah and Miss Malinda sat and
clung to the newly found friend who
had been lost.
