ACCORDED A HIGH POSITION
Women of servia, Well Educated and Able, Are Companions of Their
 Husbands and Brothers.

There is no country in the world where women occupy more dignified position in the home than Servia. The Servian idea is quite different from that of the Turk. who keeps his wom- en behind shut doors or the German. whose ideal woman is hausfrau. In Servia the woman is the companion of the man.
 A man is responsible for his un- married sisters, and throughout the Balkan states it Is considered rather a breach of etiquette for him to mar ry before his older sister.
 No Servian girl would feel she could hold up her head in society unless she could speak four languages. There is hardly a Servian woman who can- not play some musical instrument. Embroidery. painting, drawing. and sculpture are all studied. Politics is 8 popular feature among women.
 Servian women are very domesticat- ed and the highest ladies pay personal attention to trivial matters of house. keeping.
 There are two women doctors prac- ticing in Belgrade, and several wom~ en teachers. But public opinion, on the whole, is rather against women entering the labor arena

CHAMPION NOT IN IT
Real Hero of the Links in This Com nunity Was the Man Who Re-
 fused to Play the Game.

We had a chance to demonstrate our theory last fall. says writer in the Topeka Capital. It worked like potato in rheumatic's pocket. Through the influence of the missus, who has friends, we obtained card to very select country club in an eastern state, where we stayed ten days. The club had golfitis in it's most acute form. The men and wom- en who frequented the club played golf, talked golf. ate golf and slept it. It was the home of the state champion and the game was the one important topic of conversation.
 For a day or swo we were lost in the atmosphere of golf which befog- ged the place. Then we began to at tract & little attention by indicating in a delicate and polite way that the whole thing bored us to extinction. When we respectfully declined to en- gage in the game or borrow any O. the implements connected with the sport there was great surprise, Our assertion that we did not play the game and did not wish to was recefv ed with amazement. Up to the time of our advent the state champion had been the colossal figure of the club.
 At the end of three days we had the state champion hanging on to the ropes. At the end of week his ex- istence had been forgotten. As curiosity he had been crowded out of place by the eccentric" Kansan who sat around reading the reports of the worlds championship games, deaf to golf and all of its manifestations. IL isn't always the hand that Is dealt you. It Is the way you play it,

 New York, August 20.-Henry Wood, American staff cores pondent at Rome put to the credit of American newspaper methods one of the greatest feats in the history of journal ism, getting the news of the death of Pope Plus X. out of It. ally more than eight hours before any other correspondent. Wood is the only American newspaper man in the city of Rome at pres ent, his chief competitors for the news being representatives of Italian newspapers. The ab- surd statements associated that the United Press announcement was false was based merely up- on the contention that the official proclamation had not then been issued.

University Endowment To Be
 Loaned.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, August 20. The State Debt Board is advertising for bids on the loan of $9,0O0 belonging to the University of Arkansas endowment fund. Ten years ago a number of sewer bond were preented to the Uni versity ,and since they were re- deemed the money has been lying in the state treasury. At 6 per cent interest, it would almost have doubled in this time. The donor of the bonds did not speci- fly what should be done with the proceeds, and there has been some question about the use of the money. It has been decided that the State Board should put the money out at interest, and the bids will be opened Septem- Der 19.

La arande Passion.

"Une grande passion est une grande tolie. Mediocrity in all things Is wisdom: mediocrity in sensations is guperlative wisdom. No young lady should fall in love till the offer has been made. accepted, the marriage ceremony performed, and the first halt- year of married life has passed away A woman may then begin to love, but with very great precaution-very cool ly. very moderately, very rationally. If ever she loves so much that .. harsh word or cool look cuts her to the heart, she is a fool. If she ever loves so much that her husbands will is her law. and that she has got into the habit of watching his look in or der that she may anticipate his wishes, she will so ,n be neglected fool Charlotte Bronte.

Should Record Campaign Lies

United Press Dispatch. A record of campaign lies" is the unique proposal made by Representative William (Alfalfa Bib Murray of Oklahoma. He insists that candidates, when filing their official accounts of campaign expenses should be re- quired to file a record under oath a Hist of all prevarications, falsehoods, and lies he has in- vented or circulated, uttered or printed against his opponent or any of them"
 Representative Fucker of Mis- souri jocularly suggested to Murray that such a record would completely swamp the election officials and clerks from one end of the country to the other with additional and unnecessary work. He said the work would be un- necessary because the general public knows that almost every word spoken by candidates who are campaigning are stretched to some extent when they are directed against the opponent.

WHAT IS THE BEST ROAD?
DEPENDS ON CIRCUMSTANCES
Traffic the Chief Factor In Determin.
ing Type Of Construction.

Given complete data as regards loca-
ton, traffic and all other conditions,
the expert in highway construction can
advise intelligently as to the kind OF
pavement which will most nearly meet
the requirements in a given case, but
without the complete information he
cannot hope to give any satisfactory
answer, says Good Roads.
Before the advent of the automobile.
when the traffic consisted of horse
drawn vehicles, equipped for the most
part with iron tires. water bound mac
adam was the standard construction
for practically all roads except those
carrying the heaviest traffic. But pres
ent traffic conditions are different. The
vehicles using the roads consist not
only of horse drawn vehicles equipped
with iron tires, but also Of motor driv-
ell vehicles equipped with rubber tires.
! Moreover. these two dissimilar kinds
are found in varying proportions. At
present there is no standard type Of
construction. Roads Or streets carry
ing light traffic can be satisfactorily
paved with certain materials. those
carrying a heavier traffic can be paved
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1914-09-25

THE AUTOMOBILE.
properly with certain other materials,
and those carrying the heaviest traffic
require still other kinds of pavements.
Considering these facts. the logical
conclusion is that traffic is the chief
factor in determining the type of con
struction to be adopted. 1t is also
known that the two different types of
vehicles now using the highways re-
quire different surfaces. 1t may be in
ferred. therefore. that so long as the
traffic is mixed. and mixed in varying
proportions. a pavement that will be
universally satisfactory will not be
found unless the amount of one or the
other Of the two kinds Of traffic be-
comes small enough to be negligible.
We can be certain that motor driven
vehicles will never become negligible
factors. 70 that the next step to be
taken is to consider whether or not the
ratio between motor driven and horse
drawn vehicles will ever become 20
great as. to eliminate the latter from
consideration. II this does happen the
situation will be similar to that before
the advent Of the automobile. and we
shall have a traffic varying only in in
tensity. In that case some certain
pavement may be evolved which will
be as universally acceptable AZ was
the water bound macadam pavement
under former conditions.
Unless this change In traffic does
come about it seems probable that the
selection Of the type of pavement to be
put down will remain a problem which
has to be solved for each particular
road. having due regard to local consid-
eratiOnS.

American BAR ana american. Highway
Associations Undertake. Revision.
Through the cooperation Of the
American Bar association and the
American Highway association the
work Of revising the road laws in
different states has been undertaken
with the object Of codifyink and sim
plifying them on a uniform basis.
Many Of the road laws are a century
old. based on colonial legislation and
following English precedent and are
entirely out Of use. in. modern tramc
and conditions. Because of these OBJ
tselete laws It is impossible tn give the
nation a network Of improved high
ways. 80 a change must be made. The
committee will urge upon the gov
ernors Of the various states the neces-
sity for legislative action and will pro.
vide a plan for such procedure.

For a week Miss Manners father
kept calling her up twice a day or Of

nurses time should be devoted to her
patients instead OF her father, found
his address in the telephone book and
called him up one evening after din

Yes"

II have called my daughter
on the phone in my life"
You haven't?"
No"
Mrs. Irwin was mystiied. She was
convinced that Mr.. Manners was tell
ing the truth. She said nothing, but
when a few hours later there was a
call for Miss Manners she went to the
phone on an upper floor and listened.
lis that you. Lucy. dear?"
Yes. Phil"
The voice sounded more familiar to
the matr0n than ever, and the name
Phil gave her a clew. DR.. Philip Auch-
multy. who upon graduating at a med
ical college had been house surgeon
at the hospital and had recently re-
signed. Mrs. Irwin mentally put q
and one together. and the result was
two: the doctor and the nurse in a love
affair. She listened to a conversation
which made her aged heart envious.
and when it was ended she called up
DR.. Auchmulty and asked him to come
to the hospital. She wished to see him
about n of the nurses who had been
ailing. but vas getting better, and the
doctors opinion was, wanted as to
whether she had better be discharged.
He called a little later. and the matron
asked him into a private parlor.

whom l wish to- consult you is Miss
Manners. She's troubled with q mania
Of running to the telephone several
times a day to chat with her father.
This takes up so much Of her time that
I am thinking of discharging her"

calls her up how can she help it," he
said.
''By refusing to 60 to the phone when

what! Refuse to answer to her

"Come. come. doctor! heard your
