BETTER ROADS IN MIDWEST
Michigan Takes Forward Steps--South
Yet Far Behind.

States of the east, middle west and
far west are doing the most toward
building good roads. according to the
records of the good roads committee
of the American Automobile associa-
ton. The prairie and Rocky mountain
states and the south are waking up,
but have not accomplished much In
their present legislative sessions. New
York leads all the states with her new
S5O,O00,OOO bond issue. Pennsylvania
comes next, with Massachusetts. New
Jersey and Connecticut following.
Michigan is the leader among the
states of the middle west. Wayne

build soon. more of the concrete roads
which have been the wonder Of the
automobile world In recent years.
Indiana has made the greatest adj
vance Of any state ~ rescinding law
which made the building of the very
best roads impossible. The old law
limited the kinds of roads that could
be built to two, macadam and gravel.
The law passed at the 1913 session OF
the HoOsier legislature removes this
limitation and permits the building of
any kind of roads the people may
choose. The unit of option is the
county, as in Michigan.
Illinois and Ohio also have adopted
progressive good roads legislation this
spring. Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa are moving forward, though not
so rapidly as the central states. On
the Pacific coast California has done
wonders, many. of the counties voting
the good roads bonls authorized by
the legislature. Washington and Ore
gon. though in a much more primitive
condition, are beginning to follow Cal
ifornia's lead. The south is most
backward of all. Most of the south
ern states have taken only the rudi-
mentary steps toward road improve

PLANS FOR ILLINOIS ROADS.
Would Allow Various Counties to De-
fray All Expenses.

Hard road building came into the IL
linois senate in new form when Al
bert &. Clark of Chicago put in Il bill
providing for county road system.
Ii provides for referendum plan of
appointing three county road commits
sioners in county that may decide to
take up hard road building. These
points are urged in favor of the plan:
First.-It is an equitable plan, spread
ing the cost of constructing main roads
over all the taxable property in the
county.
Second.-It tends TO make continuous
main roads, with no breaks ut the
township lines. This desirable feature
Is never attained under the township
plan. while town line roads invariably
suffer.
Third.-Money enough is secured to
improve difficult pieces of road that
could never be touched under township
supervision.
FOurth.-Under the county plan there
are always two experienced men on the
board. This tends TO retain skilled en-
ployees in their positions. and it is true
that county roads, as rule. are dis
tinguishable by their superior work
manlike features.
Fifth.-T county plan tends to
economic in the matter of road build
ing equipment.

LOVEMAKlNG IN SPAIN.
II Is Done Right Out In the Open, and
No One Seems to Mind II.

The best of the Alcazar is the Alca-
EAR gardens. But | would not ignore
the homelike charm of the vast court
by which you enter from the street
outside to the palace beyond. 1t Is
planted casually about with rather
shabby orange trees that children were
playing under and was decorated with
the weeks wash of the low, simple
dwellings which may be hired at a
rental moderate even for Seville, where
a handsome and commodiOus house in
a good quarter rents for $50 year.
One of those two story cottages, as
we should call them, in the antecourt
of the AlcaZar had for the student of
Spanish life the special advantage Of
a lover close to ground floor window
dropping tender nothings down through
the Stats of the shutter to some maiden
lurking within.
The nothipgs were so tender that you
could not hear them drop. and, besides,
they were Spanish nothings, and 1t
would not have served any purpose for
the stranger to listen for them. Once
afterward we saw the national court
ship going ON at another easement, but
that was at night. and here the pre-
cious first sight of it was offered at 10
O'Clock in the morning.
Nobody seemed to mind the lover
stationed outside the shutter with
which the iron bars forbade him the
closest contact, and it is only fair to
say that he minded nobody. He was
there when we went in and there when
we came out, and it appears that when
it Is a question of lovemaking time is
no more an object i'm Spain than In the
United States. The scene would have
been better by moonlight, but you can
not always have it moonlight, and the
sun did very well; at least the lover
did not seem to miss the mOOn.-W. d.

IF | had my way about it | would
build a great national system of roads
leading from our national capital to
the capital Of every state in the I'M

stopped TO think what it would cost?
Probably $4,000 miles would complete
trunk line through every capital. To
build the best road that modern en-
cheering has devised would make the
average about $4,000 per mile. The
western half of these roads will cost
whole lot less than the eastern half.

CURIOUS FISHING.
Gathering In Eels With Brushes and
Shrimping on Horseback.

In the Hawaiian Islands some of the
native fishermen literally go into the
water and chase the fish into their
nets.
The sea round the shores Of the is
lands is studded with coral reefs, in
which are numerous holes and tiny
caves in which the fish hide. The ma
tives row out over there reefs, taking
with them brush about three feet In
length. with very long bristles. and
shallow nets, somewhat resembling
paper bag, as they are closed at one
end.
As they row over the surface. seeking
a likely spot, they chew a very oily
fruit known as the candle nut. when
they consider they have reached good
fishing ground they spit out this nut
which forms thin film on the top or
the water. over which the wind passes
without leaving ripple. This enables
them to see right down into the clear
sea. and If they are satisfied with the
outlook they prepare to fish.
Taking the brush I'm one hand ana
the net. the mouth of which Is propped
open by means of twig or two in the
other. they dive noiselessly and quietly
overheard. Having arrived at the face
Of the coral reef. they literally brush
the frightened fish out Of their dens'
endeavoring to catch them in the net
as they dart away.
There is one place at least on the
coast Of Belgium where they go
shrimping on horseback. The trawlins

THE HOLY PERIOD
FOR JEWS HERE
And Is Being Observed
World Over.
THIS DATE IS new YEARS DAY
And the Holy Season Ends
With the Feast of
Conclusion"
THE MEANING OF SOME NAMES

Again the Jews. the world over,
have prepared to observe the holy
season which begins with Rosh Hash
anah, or New Years Day, on the
evening of October the first, and
ends with the Shemini Atzereth--
The Feast of Conclusion-on the ev-
ening of October Sd.
In the Jewish tradition, the Rosh
Hashanah marks the anniversary of
the creation of the world. supposed
TO have taken place 5,674 years ago.
The present Rosh Hashanah, there
fore, will mark the beginning of the
year 1914.
The change of date, however, is
of little or no Importance. and if
the Jewish New Years Day had no
further significance, its appeal to
the Jew would be very faint indeed.
II is not the change of year but the
change of life that this day stresses,
that makes it stand out as one of
the hottest days in the Jewish calen
dar Herein it radically differs from
our civil New Year; it is a day set
apart for introspection and self-eX-
animation. The sacred character of
this day is implied in the two other
names by which it known, viz,
the Day of Memorial and the
Day of Blowing Trumpets. In
the first place it is the Day of
Memorial, or Remembrance. AS
such, it calls upon the Jew to re-
member the divine purpose of his
life; secondly, it is the Day of Blow
ing Trumpets. It's purpose is to
arouse Israel from it's self-compla-
cency and stir him to high resolves
and nobler deeds.
The Rosh Hashanah derives its
significance from the fact that it Is
but the introduction to the Day of
Atonement. which follows ten days
later. Before one can realize the
need of atonement. it Is necessary
that he become conscious of his
shortcomings; for so long as we i'm
agine ourselves whole, it may never
occur to us that We need physi-
clan; so long as we do not admit
our sinfulness, we shall hardly feel
the need of being forgiven. Hence,
to make the Atonement possible, we
must have Rosh Hashanah, which is
also designated as the Yom Hadin-
the Day of Judgment-the day
whereupon we weigh ourselves in
the balance, and perforce find our
selves wanting; for there is no
righteous man upon earth that
doeth good always and sinneth not"
The essential ceremony of the SER
vices in the synagogue on Rosh Hash
anah is the blowing of trumpet, in
accordance with the injunction in
Leviticus 1924, which reads, "In
the seventh month shall we have a
Sabbath, a memorial of blowing OF
trumpets and holy convocation.'
In the Reform Synagogue, Rosh
Hashanah is celebrated from sunset
of October the first to sunset of Oc-
tober the second, whereas among
orthodox Jews, the holiday does not
end until sunset of October third.
