Highway Now Follows

Forty three years ago the en-

it, at the junction point of the
first transcontineutal railway ever
constructed anywhere on this plan

tina, the railway should precede
the highway in surmounting the
crest of the continent.
And now the highway, whose ad
vance is an expression Of the set
tied purpose OF growing people IS
following the lead OF the road of
iron. A few weeks ago, as you may
read in the June number of Motor
magazine. there was organized at
Kansas City the National Old Trails
Road association, whose aim is the
realization. at the earliest possible

The romance of courtship is a
tissue of chiffon that wears to rags

Stimulus of Gross Continent
Highway Incalculable.

The stimulus that would be af
forded by a great trans-continentaI
highway would be incalculable. #
would give rise to improved roads
on all sides. They would branch
out from the main artery in every
direction. TO say nothing of the
practical advantages mere shame
would soon Danish all the mudnole
roads in the country traversed bv
the great highway. To understand
what enthusiasm the cause of good
roads is capable Of awaking. read
the accounts in Motor OF the cele-
bration of Good Roads Day" in the
states of Washington and Colo
RADIO. The people turned out for a
new kind of hoIiday-a holiday of
work. Whole brigades OF volun-
teers set to work with picks and
shovels and teams and road max
ing apparatus, and they had one
of the most enjoyable times of
their lives And why should they
not? There is nothing so delight
full and nothing so healthful as
work, when the workers are inter
ested in what they are doing. All
work and no play may make Jack
q dull boy. but all play and no work
makes him a duller boy even on a
holiday.

Can Pick Married Couples
BY Bored EXPRESSIONS.

If you desire to get a line on how
little companionship there Is be-
tween the great majority of hus
bands and wives watch them al the
theater, or at the restaurants, or
any of the other places of public
amusement You will see them
sitting'up in a silence so thick that
you could cut 1t with knife.
yawning in each others faces be-
tween the acts of the play, and
stufing themselves on bread and
butter at the restaurant while they
wait for their order to be served
Not word have they to say to
each other unless they get into a
scrap about what they shall have to
eat, or whether they put the cat
out OF doors when they left home
In any company you do not need a
diagram TO show you which are the
married couples. You can pick
them out by their bored express
sions.
Then did you ever notice the pit
iful paucity Of conversation in the
home? Husbands and wives seem
to have literally no topic in COM
mon except the bills and the chill
dren. The average family circle
might be composed of mutes for all
the cheerful and interesting talk
that goes about it. Yet the hus-
band may be famed as a wit and a
raconteur in society and his wife
considered as unusually bright and
vivacious in company Both Of
them have plenty to say to other
people. but they have nothing to
say to each other because they are
not friends
They may be lovers. but the
lovers litany is short whereas the
repertoire Of friendship is exhaust
less You soon weary of asking the
adored one GOOSE ducky is ooe"
and telling woman how beautiful.
and wonderful and angelic she is.
but you can talk forever to the
friend whose mind is but a mirror
in which you see your own
thoughts glorihed and who touches
no subject but to turn a brighter
and more enhancing light upon it.

1t is one of the heartbreaking
facts of matrimony that one of the
first things that the average hus-
band finds out is that he can't even
be frank with his wife without her
going into Mysteries. He has to lie
to her when he wants to stav
downtown of a night and plav
game of cards, or go to dinner with
some man. He wouldn't dare 70
tell her that he had happened to
meet some woman he knew near
the door Of a restaurant and had
asked her to lunch with him. He'd
only ten these things to his friends
and not one of them would he
friend wife"
Why, the great majority Of men
are not sufficiently friendly with
their wives to even talk over their
business with the ladies. or TO omen
up their hearts to them and show
them their hopes, and plans. and
ambitions When they want TO
talk about real things like that thew
60 10 some man. It's mighty sell
dom that man finds his real con-
f1dante in friend wife"
Nor are women any more for
tunate in this respect. II doesn't
take long for clever woman to
discover that if she wants her
household machinery TO move
smoothly she must keep most of her
real thoughts and ideas to herself
and all of her troubles. and that
the best way to work her lord and
master is to make him comfort
able. and obtrude her soul longings
on him as little as possible.
When a woman wants to discuss
problem play, or a new novel or
her clubs, or the suffrage move
ment, she is rarely fortunate
enough to be able to do so with
her husband. For the average man
isn't interested in the things that
his wife is, and he doesn't even
make a pretense of being. There
fore the wife's friends are of her
own sex if she is a good woman.
and Of the opposite sex if She is a
foolish and a Eighty one. but her
best friend is not, as it should be.

1t is because there is so little
friendship between husbands and
wives that there is so little marital
happiness. for the last estate II
married life must either be friend
ship or ruin.

But 7 Per cent OF American
Road Are Improved.

But this trans continental high
way has better claims than mere
romantic or scenic interest upon
the people of this great nation. We
have always led the world in rail-
way construction, but We have
hitherto been behind in road max
ing. Only seven per cent of our
American roads are improved. e.,
built upon scientific principles and
kept in repair-while in Europe.

many miles of road as the United
states, practically all the roads are

last, the tables are beginning to
turn, for we are spending more
money annually on road improve
ment than France. Germany and
England combined. But we must
spend more vet. and we are rich
enough to do 1t.
The narrow minded idea once
entertained by some persons that
the making of improved roads is
simply a benefit to the fortunate
owners of automobiles. is fast Civ
ing way to a more enlightened view
as farmers begin to realize the fact
that the good roads help them even
more than they help the motorists.

tn HERE Is one slang phrase
that always. makes a hit
with me, and that is Friend
wife"
Do you get that? Friend wife,
It's what every man should be able
to call the woman to whom he is
married. and yet not one man in
ten thousand could truthfully use
the phrase. There are wives who
are sweethearts, wives who are af-
hnities. wives who are sparrlng
partners. wives who are debating
opponents. wives who are tyrants,
wives who are slaves and domestic
drudges, but how seldom a wife
who is a friend Yet the best thing
that any woman can be to her hus-
band is to be his friend 1t is the
whole of the law and the prophets
as regards how to be happy though
married.
What is friend? A friend Is
the one of whose companionship
you never weary-the one without
whose presence no pleasure is COM
plete. How many men do you
know who feel that way toward
their wives? The average wife is
many admirable things to her hus-
band, but she is seldom a compan-
ion. He esteems her for her noble
qualities, but he doesn't take her
along with him. if he can help him
self, when he wants to have a good
time.

nized that this project has grown
out Of the wonderful development
of the motor car. which has done
more than any other influence for
the Improvement of the roads of

between New York and San Fran
