A Chicago man who has son at

way home from New York recently
to stop off for the purpose of seeing
how the boy was getting along. 1t
happened to be just after the Cornell
football team, which has undergone
many humiliating experiences this
season, had been beaten by Colgate.
How are things going with the
Cornell football team?" the father
asked, pretending to be seeking in

TUESDAY, APRIL %, 1913.

Wisconsin, which was wilderness
when Pennsylvania was a settled
Commonwealth, there are 10,167
miles of improved public roads; in
Pennsylvania there are 1864 miles
In the list of 1S Estates showing the
greatest percentage of improved
roads" in 1909 the name of Pennsyl-
vania did not appear. In the list of
eleven States showing "the greatest
progress" in road building in the
five-year period between 1904 and
1909 Pennsylvania ranked seventh.
With it's population of more than
100000, its great cities, its i'm
mense wealth represented by prop
erty assessed for taxation, at so per
cent. of it's actual market value, at
$5,7S3,6SS,926, the imperial State of
Pennsylvania-"the Keystone State"
built 1904 miles of improved"
public roads, or about 240 miles the
year, or about 10 inches per capita.
That is not an achievement, surely,
of which one of the oldest and most
civilized states in the Union should
be very proud; but it is set down in
the official reports as "gain," and in
it's day of small things Pennsylvania
should have full credit for what it
has done, There have been stretches
of years when it did not do anything
at all to make it's paths straight.
Bulletin Al, United States office
of Public Roads, gives the total mil
cage of public roads in Pennsylvania
as S7,3S7 miles, of which 1881 were

voters of Pennsylvania the PROPOSE
tion to issue bonds to the amount of
$50, 100000 for construction of
highways, which has been an object
of discussion in the House of Repre-
sentatives for almost a month, was
passed nnally in that branch of the
Legislature Thursday night by vote
of 1S9 to 2. The measure was or
dered sent to the Senate for concur
renee in amendments to correct typo
graphical errors and if passed in
that branch, which is expected, will
be laid before the voters at the No
vember election.
The resolution was taken up in
regular order and John r. X. Scott,
Philadelphia, who had made fight
to keep it in the roads committee
last week, called attention to the
fact that the AttorneyGeneral had
informed the House that no enabling
legislation for issuance of bonds
could be passed this session. He
declared that he was opposed to the
amendment as he did not consider
that the State needed to issue bonds
for highways, calling attention to
the fact that taxation bills, which
are pending will raise between $6,-
100000 and $7,000,000.
He said that he did not think that
Pennsylvania needed to borrow a
dollar and asked why a State so rich
and so liberal to charities should be
forced to go to the money lenders.
The bill passed the Senate on

since that date.

Pontiff Takes More Nourishment and
Physicians Look For His Recovery.
Rome, April 21.-Although the pope
still is weak and is subject to periods
of depression which have Il large ele-
ment of danger in them, it is thought
that his increased ability to take nour-
ishment is a most favorable sign.
With more food entering his system
his strength is returning. 1t is thought
by his physicians that he soon will be
out of danger. His pulse now is nor
mal-70 to 70, compared with more
than 100 at the height of his fever.
The pope suffered from coughing
spells, which came intermittently. At
times these periods were eXhausting.
But the bronchial affection on the left
side is diminishing. For five days now
there has been practically no fever
The call of the pope's brother, An
gelo SartO, postmaster of the village
of Grazie, was a tender episode. There
is a difference in age between them of
only one year, but Angelo, with his
robust frame, seemed ten years young
er than the pope, who appeared thin,
languid and pale. DR.. Marchiafava,
who was present at the meeting, de-
! clared that the scene was so touching
that his own eyes were wet.
The presence of the members of his
| family around him has inspired the
pope with new vigor, and the bright
sunshine flooding his room caused him
to eXclaim, "On such a day as this 1
cannot imagine that any one could be
| ill.,"
Rumors of various kinds continue to
be circulated, and it has even been re-
ported that DIR. Ettore Marchiafava
and DR.. Andrea Amici have quarreled
over the case. One report had 1t that
DIR. Amici insisted that the pope
should have last communion, but that
DR.. Marchlafava opposed this In order
to avoid the shock which this might
cause the patient. This report is alb
surd, as the pope has taken commun-
ion every day since his illness began,
so that in the words of the pontiff
himself, "Death will not find me un-
prepared"

ONE OF THE RICHEST.

Pennsylvania is one of the rich
est states in the Union. 1t contains
45,215 square miles. 1t is 800 miles
wide at its widest part and it's great
est length is 1S0 miles With it's
1866, 900 people it holds the sec
ond place in point of population. 1t
contains the third richest city in the
country, only New York city and
Brooklyn passes Philadelphia in the
valuation of taxable property. 1t
has the greatest railroad system in
the country, though holding the sixth
place in respect of its total mileage.
In the list of the 100 largest cities
in the United States, seven are in the
State of Pennsylvania, and there are
in the State LAG incorporated places
of 5000 or more inhabitants. In den
sity of population Pennsylvania holds
the sixth rank among the states, with
III population to the square mile.
In 1911 the railway mileage in the
State was 11,340.5S miles; in 1909,
the latest figures just now available,
there were only 1854 miles of what
are called improved" public high
ways in the state, and this is the
point of present interest.
