tend the good roads meetings.
 With the assembling of congress for it's final session. beginning last Mon- day. December 2nd, public interest in good roads and federal aid for them mas been much revived. There are some thirty different proposals for federal aid appropriations for the good roads movement pending, but it is not thought likely the present short ses- sion of congress will hear from the measures Furthermore the joint committee. appointed at the previous session to make recommendations as to the form in which federal aid should be granted. can hardly be expected to have any plan ready so soon. The policy which contem- plates a system of national high ways instead of a piecemeal distribJl- tion of federal funds, for local inn provements is congressional districts is proposal which i: seems will command most hearty support from more than one quarter
 Working along the same lines as was proposed for the convention in Washington. the annual meeting of the A. A. A. in Chicago last Monday and Tuesday was devoted almost en- tirely to the discussion of good roads in the various phases of the question. In the work of the ma : tional association of automobilists the membership as a whole is more vitally interested in the improvement of roads and the building of new highways for extended motor touing about and across the continent than in any other phase of motoring
 Said Attorney General Bullard yes terday. We are going to Washing ton to see that Arizona gets on the route of the Ocean-to- Ocean high way Mr Cobb. Mir Potter and my self will be in the fight for good roads all the time. and will support the measure in congress which is up for indorsement by the Federal Aid convention. Personally I think the proposition of Representative Stanton Warburton of the second district of Washington is just the thing. War 1 burton proposes to tax tobbacco for the support of good roads
 "The tax will amount to at least s60,000,000 a year. with which won ders can be accomplished toward making the roads of America worthy boulevards for motor travel
 T am sure we will get Arizona or the good roads map"

But from the first day the glass top OF
Stratton's desk always looked as bare and

Music Relieves FATIGUE.


DR.. Hall says: "One very pertinent point
is the effect upon the nervous poIse and con-
troll Of those who love It The very neurons
may be musically fsmished or overted"
We may, because Of q nervous state. be-
come too much exhilarated by music, but
there is music which Gains as there is music
which excitss-that which relieves fatigue.
Broken down musicians, says DR.. Hall could
have saved themselves by proper insight
and regimen. A misht In music, which Is
the thing which makes perhaps the highest
appeal to feelings, Is responsible for neu-
rotic and neurssthenic states It stimulates
the highest as well as the lowest powers
but It may be as hygienio as any nerve
tonic and have moral quality and influence.
II has been asserted by G. N. Beard IN
American Nervousness " that in no other
country is nervous exhaustion so common
as in the United States; that in no other
country are@there 50 many varieties and 50
many symptoms OF nervous debility.
This would seem to indicate that In no
country are the emotions Of fear, anger,
Jealousy, love, pity, ambition, ana other
great states Of feeling common to many
treated so unhygisnicaHy. The greater
number of inRrests man has. the greater
number Of emotions, and II is highly de-
sirsbIe that these be normal instead of stress
ful and disordered. This subject OF the emo
tions is an enormous one, but we all know
what an emotion Is. and II we have good
sense We wilL by conscious effort, drive out
those that viii make US nervous wrecks, bSr
mirth or music, or by the more dIficult
means Of self-control.
