Down Among Men" is the book of
Betty Berry, the first of the women of
tomorrow to be pictured by a novelist
the story of her gift of herself for the
reforming of a man to a great destiny
down among men.
Down Among Men" is the book of VIII
Lexington Comfort with a vitality from
the worlds heart-a story of fighting and
fortitude of compassion and great COM
panions down among men.
The marvellous word painting that Mr..
Comfort has done concerning the Russian
battlefield al Liaoyong. where John Moor
ing and Duke Fallows meet is match
less.
The suffering, the misery, the awful
grind of human lives. during the battle
Is gra phically told through Fallows, while
Moorins sees only the strategy, the strug-
gle. the cause of victory or defeat-two
diametrically different views of the same
scene-depicted by these two men who are
war correspondents.
The story that Mooring writes brings
him fame and remuneration. but it fails
to develop his manly qualities, and we
find him scarcely more than mere worn
out fragment of humanity, selfish, alone,
uncared for. and Misunderstanding the
next turn of Fate"
From this mental and physical apa thy,

woman-and the story that Mr.. Comfort
makes out of Betty Berrv's love for John
Moorine is the old old story of the
regeneration of man through the mighty
influence of good woman and her love.

NEW YORK FEARS
HIGHWAYLESS FUTURE

NEW YORK, Oct H.-Is New
York to become a state without
roads, or at least roads worthy OF
the name? With election only a
few days away, this question OF the
future road building OF the richest
state in the union is coming in Tor
a great deal of discussion and may
be IN important factor in the cleo
ton results.
II the present methods OF con-
struction and ways of financing
them are adhered to it is difficult
10 figure what the state eventually
is going to do for new roads, &C
cording to experts. The present
system has been thoroughly de-
nounced and various remedies sug-
gested. but that is about all The
system itself, under which the roads
arc built. it through the issuance OF
fSty-year bonds. But the governor
has stated and is being borne out
by engineers that the roads OF
riacadam which are being construct
cd will hardly last more than ten
years. I'm the words of the gov
ernor: New York State is engaged
in building 10000 miles Of road
which will be worn out forty years
before they are paid for"
The inevitable result, if such a
policy is persisted in it is pointed
out by engineers would be no roads
since at the end of ten years an
other bond issue would be peces-
sary, and so on so that by 1854
.he state would have worn OUT roads
which would not be paid for for
two hundred years. OF course it
is not expected that this will hap
pen, but the situation is very Sc
riously regarded. Engineers unite
in agreeing that the chief cause OF
the trouble lies in the material used.
pointing ont that because OF the
great increase in heavy automobile
traffic, the material used is unable
to bear the heavy strain.
One suggestion from a noted en-
gineer is that the plan adopted in
New Jersey where the automobile
traffic is eleven times heavier than
in France be followed. This plan
is based upon the creation and
maintenance OF board of engin-
ncers similar to the engineers OF
maintenance of way in q railroad.
