ARCHAIC HIGHWAY
 TRANSPORTATION

The history of the highway trans pOrtatIOn since the days of the Roman empire exhibits few phases and great turning points which have marked new eras in progress, in efficiency, in convenience or economy Historians of transportation tell us that mans ilrst land vehicle was a boat-like structure without wheels, which was pulled by sheer brute strength, first by man and then by animals, which he subjugated, the OK, horse and mule. The next step in land transportation was by means of crude rollers which were slid underneath the vehicles very much on the order of the rollers which We see in use in moving small buildings short distances
 When the revolving wheels was ap- piled to vehicles a great impetus was given to highway transportation, and for 400 years at least, until very re gently highway transportation saw very little change or improvement.
 If we carefully compare the methods of highway transportation in the days of the Roman empire and the year 1912 we find that the greater percentage of tllt NOlIu lS SllIl uSIHb tHt UDTTC anu wagon very much after the fashion of the Romans; we see no great evolu- ton in highway transportation paral- leling the wonderful advances that has been made in power transports ton by rail or trolley. The delivery of our merchandise is much after the fashion of 5000 years ago, although the motor. the iron horse of the high way, has reached mechanical perfect ion in the span of ten years. How ever, so great a slave to custom is man that we find today comparatively little commercial civiliZing utilization of one of the greatest civlizing agencies and efficiency tools that SC far has been given the world.
 The development of this efficiency tool has gone so quietly and at the same time so thoroughly that the world at large, grounded in horse traditions. has not vet been informed on motor transportation To an in vestigating mind it seems paradoXical that in the twentieth century the hu- man race should be useing for one purpose means that were employed dozens of centuries agO.-ROllin w Hutchinson in Engineering Magazine

FRENCH FEMINIST MOVEMEN

Socially France belongs with the Latin races. In these countries man has generally treated woman with gal lantry. but not respect, and has re- ceived her attempts at higher life in spirit of mockery which it has been almost impossible to overcome. Be cause her happiness depended on his good will. her one aim in life has been to please him. As Pierre de CouieValn expresses it, She is entirely abSorbed by man and maternity" The moral standard of both men and women haS been low, and the well known bargain ing about the dOwry has added sordid- ness. The case of the jeune file serves as an example. Her carefully guarded, restricted life, her interests and her education, not fitting her to think or to be of service to her community, are too well known to need amplltlcaton- It well illustrates how, in southern countries, their Latin heritage has been a strong social factor in the re- tarded awakening of women.
 In France these conditions were fixed still more immutably by Napoleon $ civil code. which thus becomes the sec ond. or civil. reason. NapoleOn's only use for women was as producers or more men for his wars. Make them believers. not thinkers,' was his com mand In legal status he classed them with children, imbeciles and criminals A married woman could possess no property; her husband owned what she brought him in marriage and what she inherited or earned thereafter. The
 
 pitiful plight of Balzac's Eugenle Gran det and her mother was not an eXcep- tional case, but the rule. Furthermore, she could not testify in civil suits, or he q witness to any legal document, or have any part in the family council for the government of her children Yet this French woman, nulllty Tn the eyes of the law, is respected by all the world for her marvellous common sense and managing ability. So marked IS this that virtually all the petty retail business in the country is in her hands, and she manages her business, her children and her husband as matter of course-Century Magazine

A g(Oad)

To the Phoenix Street Railway Go. There was an irate passenger,
 He stopt conductors three; When will I get home tonight;
 Where can that street car be "The ancient. grooming, shaking car That courses OCT this track: The one that goes at breaK of day
 And bye and bye gets back?' The mud was here, the mud was there, The mud was all around; Conductors daubed from head to foot Could scarce emit a sound. Full half day they'd been beneath
 A car that was derailed, So now they answered plaintively,
 And sorrowfully walled "The mud won't hold the rails in place, The ties are routed out, The car has fallen by the way
 'Twont help a bit to shout Follow the tracks, they'll take you
 home,
 And stop your frenzied talk, If you're in need of special speed
 Just, walk, walk, WALK" CThe scribbler is indebted to Coleridge for some of the above lines)

RECENT IMPROVEMENTS
 IN MODERN DA|RY|NC

The production of clean milk has engaged the attention of business men for only about a score of years, and while all recognize the necessity of great reforms in the production and handling of this substance. the means of accomplishing this on a large scale have hitherto seemed practically impossible. except at a cost to the consumer which has proved excessive to all but the well to do
 High grade milk has for some years been brought to market from a few hlgh grade and expensive dairies. Some of this is called certified" milk. and is sold for from 15 to 22 cents quart; which, of course, is a high price for a poor man to pay
 So steps must be taken to produce a clean, safe milk which d poor man can afford to buy. Of all the milk brought to market. not over per cent can be certified" while some thing must be done to make the re- maining 95 per cen at least safe for the millions of poor babies whose main, or sole, food supply is cows milk. Dr. Richard c. Newton of Montclair, N. J.. discusses this ques- tiOn in a recent number of the Journal of the American Medical As sociation The main factor in the production of safe and wholesome milk at a moderate price is the dairyman. It is unjust and futile to expect the farmer to produce high CT grade milk at an increased cost and not allow him to participate in the increased profit accruing from it's
