He advanced and took the hand ex-

Collins, turned to Dick.
Lord. you're as persistent as

But more effective" the reporter
smilingly suggested.
Brand scanned the faces quickly.
Dicks words had conveyed no intelli'

this. He smiled in turn.

II you stop to think about this for

dously important thing 1t is. Just as
surely as you have face, the story
Of your life will be written on that
face. II you are mean and grabbed

able, writes Lewis Edwin Thesis in St.
Nicholas. And the older you grow the
more distinctly your face will tell
the story.
When you 60 out into the world to
earn your living, the first thing that
people will ask is this: What kind
of a boy is he? Or, what kind Of a
girl is she. Under our present in
dustrial system the employer has to
teach young persons their trade after
he hires them. So he is more inter
ested in the applicants character than
in his present ability. And the charac-
ter he will learn from the face.
1t is just as the director Of the en-
ployment bureau Of a great depart
ment store said to me: I'VE base
our choice largely On the applicants
looks. To be sure, the faces Of boys
and girls are not deeply marked.
Many applicants have only begun to
outline on the blank pages Of their
cheeks the picture that will eventual
~ appear there. But even a sketch
tells much. We know that almost in
evitably a child will continue the IA
cial development 1t has begun. The
sullen, shiftless. don't care kind OF
q face we reject, but II the face
is full OF courage, hope, truth,
good-cheer and kindness, we pick
the child quick. That is the sort we
are after" II, then, our faces have
so much to do with our future sue
cess, isn't 1t worth while to try to
make them attractive by being attrac-
five ourselves?

His voice was quiet enough. but his
meaning was clear and the vexation
that his tone implied was sincere.
Brand was good at blum. but he was
ready, too, to back a threat with
deeds. The storm cloud was about to
break. Jane saw 1t and felt her first
alarm.

LUXURY
OF the Most Extravagant Kind
is Cheapness of Road
Construction.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. O.
Cheapness In road construction is our
most extravagant luxury.
A good road is one that fits its
traffic. Na-
First cost is a minor item in road
economy. The way to figure economy
is to measure it by the condition of
the road to bear most easily the
traffic to which 1t may be subjected.
These and other highway precepts
were laid down by James 7. Nc
Cleary, highway engineer of Cuya-
hoga county, o.. adjoining Cleveland,
o.. during the greater part OF the
time when that county's 400 mile
system Of brick roads were construct
ed. McCleary was assigned to speak
before the Northwestern Road Con-
gress here on the methods of brick
construction, but he also paid his re-
spects to what he called the liter
airy and oratorical side of highway
building" r
For arousing public interest,"" he
said. "the literary and oratorical
forces should receive commentator.
They would be subjected to no criti-
cism If they rested at this point, but
they have usurped the place Of the
engineer in telling the public what
kind of roads to build and what kind
not to build.
THE most ambitious schemes OF
inter-county highways do not cover
more than tenth of the total rural
mileage. The cheaper forms Of road
construction must always survive for
the less travelled roads. For the
main roads. permanence is the only
worthy criterion"
The roads radiating from Cleve-
land. he said. proved that the cost Of
repairs on brick roads is negligible
for the first two decades, provided
the brick is properly laid.
