Advantages of steel Collars.

Enameled steel shirt collars are

Statement of e. o. Weller, Chair

IN an automobile examining perhaps
j. 200 miles Of road in France. England
and Wales. The results of our observa-

The best foreign roads are not any better
than the best American roads There
are simply more ofthem That is the diff
terence In Great Britain and Cont
mental Europe, the bad road is an excep-
ton. while in our country. the bad road
is the rule. This IS because the United
States is in a new and comparatively
formative period OF igs development and
with an enormous road mileage Of ?. 25o.-
600 miles to the Improvement of which
we have only been recently devoting our
energies
The problem of modern road building
has not vet been worked out but II will
be solved in America and not in Europe.
Our country has taken bold of this lob

in the United States tor a wear with a
corps Of assistants. to secure the best
and also the latest practice on this most
important question.
No intelligent comparison of the Euro
pean roads and ours can be made with
out taking into consideration the differ
ence in conditions, which are much more
favorable there than here. The first
point 10 be considered is that there is
practically no new const 4ction on the
other side. Their roads have been in
process of building for hundreds of wears.
and their problem is almost exclusively
now one of proper maintenance. We
were much surprised to find in France,
whose patrol system has been held no to
the world rs a model, that very little care
Is being paid to the maintenance of their
State Roads. according to the modern
standards The only oiled roads that
we saw in France were within radius of
IS or 20 miles of PARIS where the motor
traffic is very heavy, and where the mac
adam roads are full of holes and rapidly
going topieCes. In the 500 miles of rural
French roads that we covered in five
DAYS. we did not see a single road that
had been oi ed, not one road roller at
work, rarely ever a culvert and very
little wheel traffic, not halt dozen motor
trucks, and perhaps not more than a
dozen automobiles in day, and these
nearly all filled with Americans. and only
four patrolmen at work. and these were
shaping up the shoulders and not repair
ing the road. The only reason that the
roads of France are good is because
they have not been subjected to such
heavy automobile traffic as we have in
Maryland, and even as it is they are
already showing signs OF deterioration.

Happiness ought to be contagious and
TO make it so good that the good things
OF life must be shared Not merely with
our family. but with our neiqhbors and
acquaintance, our townsmen. and the
Strangers within our gates. I'VE should
use our blessings, not put them in laven-
dar leaves, or camphor balls to keep
but scatter them broadcast and share
them with others, If we have blooming
roses. share them; if we have beautiful
pictures, invite the people to see them;
If we have helpful thoughts give them
away. This generous method Of living
will be rich harvest. not perhaps in a
like return, but in placing the donor on a
higher plane Of thought, and giving him
a broader view of lie aad its Obligations.

Let all of our little kindnesses be from
loving heart, and not formal acts for
the world to see. Let us not wear two
iaces-the one in company and the other
behind the scenes. Bat let us be kind,

is not looking on. The home in which

and the mind which does not conceive it
is dull the philosophy which does not

We have heard great deal about love

very poetical and captivating to those
who have been used to culture and re-

follow. This is the plainest common
sense. Great expectations are often
