Cause and Effect.

Apropos of Eastertide, the follow
ing little story, which has reached me,
may be worth a smile. 1t was Easter
Sunday, and the wife already had ar
rayed herself in her spring finery
She made a pretty picture as she
stood before the mirror in her peg
top" skirt and her chic little hat of a
French model. Outside the process
sion had begun. The air was vibrant
with church bells. There was a riot
OF gay costumes.
For some reason or other, Friend
Husband was slow. Finally the wife
became impatient. Henry she eX-
postulated, tapping her feet, cant
you hurry? What's the use Of my
having $50 hat unless somebody can
see it,"
Just moment, dear" temporizet
the patient Henry; just a moment
while | trim my cuffs."-Chicago IN.

Amazing Telephone Totals.

1t is difficult to imagine our mod
ern complicated life being carried on
without telephones. There are today
more than twelve million five hun
dred thousand telephones in actual
use throughout the world and more
than thirty million miles of tele-
phone wire are used. In other words,
if these wires were found around the
globe they would form a band of more
than one thousand threads.
In the course of year some TWEEN
ty-three billion people shout hello
through the telephones. This Is about
five times the number of people trav-
cling annually on all the railroads in
the world. The longest commercial
service at present is that between
New York and Denver, distance OF
$3.50 miles.

What Road Building Means.

Enormous developments Of the
financial side OF the road movement
shown in the fact that 1890 counties
in the United States now have out
standing bonds aggregating quarter
of a billion dollars, according to the
Official Good Roads Year Book for
1914, which was issued by the Ameri-
can Highway Association in Wash
ington early in March. A stupendous
new business il shown to have grown
up in the United States as a result
OF the road boom-a business employ
ing more than one hundred thousand
persons in actual supervision of the
roads, in addition to the increase in
banking business, due to handling
bonds, increase in the road
machinery and materials and the
other by products of the boom. Not
merely has there been a tremendous
saving in the wear and tear of horses
and in the prevention OF waste on the
farm due to the inability to get to the
shipping points over poor roads, but
there has been an actual increase in
prosperity, as result of the need of
work and materials on the construc-
ton of new roads and the improve
ment of old ones.
Progress reports from every State
highway department show that only
eight States have failed to establish
4 highway departments, while in sever
al of the States, notably New York,
Illinois, Iowa and New Mexico, the
tendency towards Capitalization has
progressed so far that practically all
the work Of road improvement Is be-
/ ing done under State supervision.
