The fable OF the hare and the tor
tolse would be a literal truth. II the
hare was travelling on some OF the
Texas highways, and the tortoise up
on one of the improved roads.
Bad roads are taxes upon all and
they place an appalling limitation up
on the business and social life OF the
people Of the rural districts.
Good farms, efficient schools, well
filled churches and correct social con-
ditions are never found along a poor
highway.

Friday evening Jan. 31, Central College

under the auspices of Central Con- servatory, is d pupil of Ovide Muslin, one of the greatest living violin teach CTS and virtuosi She studied with him when he was a violin professor at the Royal Conservatory of Liege, Bel gium-the school, by the way which has produced many of the worlds most eminent violinists. After one year under Muslin, Miss Austin car ried off first prize in contest against 24 other contestants and was the first American violinist to be awarded this honor by the Royal Conservatory. When Muslin established, in New York, the school of music of which he is now head, he made Miss Austin a prominent member of his faculty.
 Ovide Musin is one of the severest musical critics in the world, especially of the work of his own pupils; and when he IS not pleased he does not hesitate to say so. When Miss Aus tin made her American debut in Men dessohn Hall, New York-playing an eXacting program consisting of Vi- tails Chaconne, Viotti's difficult Con .certo in A minor, ViouXtemps' great Concerto in D minor and Sarasato' s Zigeunerweisen-she was praised by 'all the New York critics. But her greatest pleasure in her success came from the following letter from her teacher:

Beware of Cousinsl

Cousins are not as simple as they seem. The very fact of being cousin, or having a cousin, is complicated. The laissez-faire of cousinship is both eluding and deluding cousins will be cousins, even If you did not choose them. They can borrow money from you, visit you without keing asked tell people they belong 10 your family, contest your will, even fall in love with you-and cousin once removed is twice as apt to. Never completely trust cousin-never depend on his not doing any of these things. Never take him for granted The "cousinly kiss" may or may not mean what 1t means. And cousins always do kiss it's part of being cousins.
 (Not that cousins need necessarily prove perilous. Once in a blue moon they invite you to Europe, or leave you money but that almost always takes an aunt or an uncle. .l~-Atlantia

QUEEREST PRISON IN WORLD
Arizona County JaII Is Blasted Out ef a Mountain of Solid Quartz
 Rock

When the authorities of Graham county, Arizona, decided to look about Tor place in which to confine crimi- nals, they found natural depression in the side of hill. This was enlarged Into what might be called an artificial cave, divided into four compartments The cave was excavated parallel to tho dde of the mountain in which 1t was made, and daylight admitted by holes blown out of the wall with explosives, the widows being guarded by a ne. work of heavy steel bars The
 trance to the depression was also closed in the same manner, and .estibule or porch of masonry built out from 1t to provide quarters for the sheriff and his assistants This vesti- bule is also divided into compart- ments, which are connected by gates of steel bars. The only way of enter. hg the prison is through the vestibule of masonry, and in order to escape he inmates would have to cut their way through three sets of bars which are an inch in thickness, as the win dows are so high up above the rock forming the floor of the cells that they could not reach them. It is necessary, however, to have very secure place, as the criminals in this part of :he country are of most desperate class, and the inmates frequently include murderers and hIghwaymen. The mountain which has thus been turned NrJC ic1 sod nF njh quartz rock, and the excavation was made principally by the use of eXplo. sivss. The jail is located in the town of Clifton, the county seat Wide World Magazine

An advanced feature of automobile
construction likely to manifest itself
In 1914 models is the crowned fender.
Three or four manufacturers have
already announced this feature.
Others admit that they are now
negotiating with manufacturers OF
pressed-steel specialties with a view
TO installing crowned tenders II they
can be assured of deliveries.
The crowned fender is charac-
teristic American adaptation of a
foreign idea. 1t presents a grace
fully-curved concave section follow
ing the round of the tire. Its shape
permits 1t to be mounted much closer
to the wheel than was the case with
the conventional fiat type. Both shape
and position greatly add to. the eff
ficiency of the crowned fender pro
tecting the body of the car and Its
occupants from splashing water and
mud
The European body builders nam
mered their crowned tenders into
shane by hand. This method was OUT
of the question for STANDARDIZED
American cars. But Assistant Cen
eral Manager Booth, of the Stude-
baker Corporation, declared that dies
could be devised which would MAKE
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-08-04

the work possible in big presses. The
task was entrusted to the executive
staff of the corporations plant 5. For
more than a year the original set OF
dies, then designed, has been turning
fiat sheets of cold steel into crowned
tenders. In the time that a gang OF
European workmen would hammer
out one set of tenders, one press will
turn out 100. And the tenders
are absolutely identical and true to
design, requiring no supplementary
fitting Even the riveting which fas-
tens the fender to it's supports is now
concealed by the latest process, the
result>being an unbroken surface or
glossy enamel
On Friday last new prices on Ford
cars went into effect. The reductions
amount to $25 on the runabout and $50
on the touring car and enclosed mod
els. The runabout which since last
years reduction listed at $525, is now
priced at $500 even, while the touring
car, which was listed at $500, is now
$3.50, and the town car Is $3.50,
instead of $500. The new prices
do not carry with them any disclos-
ures of new models or changes in the
current models for the time being.
No statement as to what the company
is planning for the calender year OF
1914 has been made.
