Benefit to Athletics.

pleased with the new rules adopted at
Lyons, where great deal of work
beneficial to athletics the world over
was accomplished" said Mr.. Sullivan,
Practically all the American rules were
adopted, and after the first of next
January uniform rules will be in opera
ton all over the world. The imple-
ments used in athletics, such as the
discus hammer. javelin and weights.
will be the same as in use in America
today.
THE cross bars and pins in jumping
and other contests will be alike, penal
ties will be inflicted for false starts in
Olympic races, in the weight events
competitors must remain within the ring
from which they throw and there will he
no more cause for argument on these
matters"

swimming, wrestling, ymnastics and
other branches of sport. will be governed
by separate federations and snecial
championship cup will be awarded in

Those Fighting Confirmation Of
Thomas D. Jones Might Not
Attend Conference.
CANVASS FOR SUPPORT
OF NOMINEE CONTINUES
Senator Reed Says He Would Not Be
Present, While Senator Kern Says
There Will Be No Caucus.

Any effort on the part of administra-
ton leaders to force a party caucus In
the Senate on the nomination Of Thomas
D. Jones of Chicago will meet with strong
opposition on the part Of democratic SEN
ators who are opposing the confirmation
Of Mr.. Jones.
Senator Reed Of Missouri. one Of the
democrats who has come out strongly
against Mr.. Jones because he is a direc-
tor of the harvester trust" said today
that he would not go into such a caucus.
THE consideration of this nomination
is not a party matter. properly" said
Senator Reed. "and no attempt should
be made to make 1t so. I do not wish to
be made to appear as a rebel against my
party. for I am not"
Kern Says No Caucus.
Senator Kern. democratic leader of the
Senate, said that there would certainly be
no caucus on the Jones nomination today,
and that the matter Of holding a caucus
had not yet been taken up by the demo-
cratic steering committee. He did not
deny however. that there had been talk
of the possibility of holding caucus.

Considered Bad Politics.
The appointment Of Mr.. Jones is held by
some of the senators to have been the
worst move the President could have

MAKING ROADS IN THE FALL
Every Township Should Own Gravel Pits From Which Material Can
 Be CheapIy Obtained.

There is growing demand for more and better roadmaking during the au- tumn months. In many localities the roads become filled with deep ruts and the wheel tracks so depressed during the summer that they collect rains which soon wash them into gutters and ruin the roads for heavy loads and comfortable travel.
 There is no reason why portion of the road tax should not be used for putting the highways in better con dition for travel. The split-log drag and other roadmaking implements should be put to work before the ground freezes. The outside of the roads should be brought into the cen ter of the track, which will establish a crust that will shed water, rather than retain rains, which are sure to occur during the late fall and early spring months.
 Roads having a full high center are quite sure to remain in a good condi- tion during the rainy season of fall and spring. Steep hills, where water is apt to collect in wheel tracks, should be provided with open gutters on each side into which rains may be diverted, with an occasional crest which water cannot pass. Approaches to bridge and culverts should be so filled with earth that vehicles of all kinds may pass over them without serious jolts and jars. Roads are much improved when covered with gravel. This is sea, son of the year when such work cal be accomplished at a minimum ex. pense. .. ---
 Every. township should own gravel pits, from which roadmaking material can be cheaply obtained. Concrete roads will soon become popular. The same material should be used in mak. ing bridges and culverts. A good qual- :ty of sand and gravel is necessary to make serviceable concrete. Every farmer should have an especial inter- est in all roads joining his place and leading to market.

Good Temper Valuable Asset.

Amidst the many vicissitudes of daily life good temper is found to be a valuable asset and a panacea for most ills. It is Christian virtue of great worth and merit, and it's moral influence is boundless. It is grace full and sits well on old and young. It is the best of all good company, and adorns the wearer How de- lightful does it make social converse. Here it looks on the bright side of human nature, and is kind in it's judg- ment of others. It is charitable, gentle and truthful; it scatters com forting words, which produce others in return; and thus good thoughts are cherished and deeds of kindness done. Southern Churchman

UNRAVEL ROAD LEGISLATION
Joint Committee Working to Bring About Simplicity, Efficiency and
 Uniformity of Laws.

To bring about revision of state simplicity, efficient management, and where desirable, uniformity, is the task undertaken by special joint committee appointed at the third American road congress and repre- senting the American Bar association and the American Highway associa. tion. The magnitude. intricacy and political and technical difficulties oi the undertaking are discussed in an article prepared for the Engineering Record by J. B. Pennybacker, chief of the division of road economics of the United States office of public roads,
 Between three and four million words comprise existing road legisla ton in the several states, according to the estimate of officials in the office ot public roads. This great wilderness of words would make up an edition oi 30 fair-sized volumes. In view of the comparative simplicity of the sub ject, this vast accumulation of stat utes, according to MT. Pennybacker, is scathing commentary on the con structive statesmanship of our legis lators for many generations. There is scarcely a doubt that at least S5 pel cent of the legislation is superfiuou and that, entirely aside from the mat ter of reform, exactly the same pur poses contemplated in the existing leg islation could be accomplished witf greater effectiveness with one-eightf of the existing statute laws.
 The compilers have found legisla ton still in effect almost identical g: | to form and substance with the olt l colonial road laws, which were in turI based upon English precedent, extend ing back to the time of Queen Eliza beth; they have found statutes st hopelessly in conflict as to make eff cient and responsible administration utterly impossible. AS an example O the bewildering confusion of existin. | legislation, the compilers came acros | in the statutes of one of our most pro gressive states a recent enactmen

NOT SUCH DEADLY ENEMIES
"Bloody Chasm" That Separated Ma tionalists and UIsterites Might
 Have Been Bridged.

As all the world knows, interna- tional war has proved great concil- iator in Ireland. As a contributor to much attention to the dismemberment of the empire when you are not cer- tain whether you will have an en- pire to dismember.
 There is a geniality about the Ma tionalist volunteer that makes you know that he would rather fight some one else-Germany in this case-than Ulster. A few stories are current that help to show how very ripe Ire land was for conciliation. Not long ago company of Nationalist volun- teers, passing a company of Ulster men, and being uncertain as to the customary etiquette between deadly enemies-saluted. In northern dis trict there was only one field suitable for drilling, and as the two opposition armies wanted it, the owner began bidding them against each other. Northern canniness asserted itself. The commanding officer of one battal- ion approached the enemy, and they agreed to rent the field in common, and use it on alternate days!
 A third anecdote relates that while some Ulster volunteers were drilling a Nationalist was seen sitting on a fence watching them. When he was questioned by an Ulsterman he ex- plained that his own company had mislaid their rifles and could not drill; "but," he added, i've were wait ing to see if we could get the loan of yours when you've done with them"

 Watch your own flock. Experience is what counts. Get acquainted with your hens They will soon learn to know you, and there are no finer pets, or more profitable ones than ten or dozen handsome hens.
 A well-kept flock of hens means a steady income to keep you in spending money while you are wait ing for your crops to grow. That one thing is enough to recommend poul- try keeping as suitable "side-line" for the boy farmer.
