Round the Wedding Ring

Fancy weaves the prettlest OF ideas
round the golden symbol that the happy
lover places upon the slender finger of
his beloved on the great day of days.
Some of the old sayings are worth re-
membering, for at heart most of us have
a tlnge Of belief in fates and fairies
and the like.
II the ring should be taken Off after
the wedding service has been performed,
II is said that dire misfortune will en-
sue. Probably the foundation of this be-
lief lay In the fact that the ring, having
been hallowed, should not be removed
for any reason.

GOOD ROAD TO FLORIDA
FROM CHICAGO PLANNED
May Be Called the Cotton Belt
Route" or 1.-The Dixie
Way"

Latest among the good roads projects
under consideration is a new route
from Chicago to Jacksonville. The
movement for this north south high
way was launched by w. S. Gilbreath,
secretary of the Hoosier Motor Club of
Indianapolis, at the recent good roads
congress held in Atlanta. and the pro-
posal was SO enthusastically received
and Endorsed by the state officials of
Georgia that no time was lost in doing
the preliminary work in connection
with the project
II. NJ. McDermid. driving 1915 En-
pire, with party of trail blazers. left
Indianapolis last week for the south.
The route being taken is via 1ndianap-
oils Louisville, Chattanooga. Macon,
Atlanta to Jacksonville.
There has been such an increase of
traffic between the middle western
states and Florida in the past few years
that such a highway should be well
travelled The route selected is de-
clared the most favorable for the pro-
posed road. and the marking of the
highway would make touring much
more pleasurable.
The name of the new road is still I'M
decided. The Cotton Belt Route" and
The Dixie Way" have been suggested,
but the final decision will be left to the
governors of the states through which
the highway leads.

ADVANTAGE OF SPEED.
Economics of Automobile Operation
Subject of Study.

Close study of what may be termed
the economics of automobile operation
shows many reasons why speed of
twenty miles an hour is advantageous.
1t is to all intents and purposes a per
fectly safe driving speed on ordinary
roads and for touring or distance driN-
ing about the minimum the avera ye
motorist will care to employ. IF eN-
ceeded only occasionally on smooth
roads the life of the car would be en-
HANGED remarkably, and tire troubles
would reduce to an astonishingly low
minimum.
Furthermore while fuel economy does
not appeal to the average motorfSt

Oxy-Acetylene Used Extensively.

The oxy-acetylene flame is now en-
ployed extensively for hardening the
wearing surfaces of steel parts; it is
applicable to such purposes as the hard
ening OF the surfaces of gear teeth, tenn
plate holes and in general to the local
hardening of any small area upon large
piece. especially where hardening
might cause distortion which it would be
difficult to remove by grinding.

Roads must be built after the plan
used by railroad engineers. The main
lines must be constructed first. and then
the branches will follow. This explains

FEDERAL AID NEEDED IN
HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION
John N. WHY'S Approves Action of
Recent Good Roads
Congress.
Only One-Tenth of 2,225, 900 Miles
of Highways in United States

The action OF the recent good roads
congress in seeking federal aid for
highway construction is declared by
John N. WHY'S to be a big step to-
ward putting the country population
of America on a firmer reconstructive
basis. AS a vice president of the Lin
coin Highway Association. Mr.. WHY'S
takes an active interest. in furthering
road improvement.
'Of the 2,225,000 miles of highways
within the United States, less than
e-tenth are improved states Mr..
WHY'S. This condition never will be
remedied until Uncle Sam dips down
into the national pocketbook and ap-
propriates funds for permanent roads
where they are most needed. Long ago
this was done in England, France and
Germany, with the result that these
countries have roads that put the ma
jority of Americas best highways to
shame.

Farming Greatest Industry.

"Tilling of the soil is the largest sim

engaged in agriculture constitute more
than one-third of all the people in this
country engaged in any business oc-

Of what prime Importance is the FUR
thering Of good roads that Will open
up our rural districts.
ut has been argued that a country
highway should be built by the people
whose farms abut on it. as municipal
streets are improved by taxing the
property holders. But the makers OF
this argument fail to realize that there
can be no division of interest between
the city and country as far as good
roads are concerned.
Accessibility is the criterion on which
the value of city property is based. Farm
value depends entirely on adequate
means Of transporting products from the
farms to the markets. Then. too, with
the farming population forming such a
large proportion of the entire American
people, the prosperity of the farmer al
ways is reflected directly in the pros
perity of the cities. If the country is
to be prosperous as a whole the farmers
