CATCHES HIS FALLING CHILD
Father Saves Girl, Who Leaned Too
Far Out From Window to
Greet Him.

Passaic, N. J.-When 1t came time
for her father to come home from
work, Susie Sabranno five years old,
ran to the open front window Of the
Sabranno home. on the third floor in
No. lat Fourth street. As it was
growing dusk she leaned over the sill
so she would not miss him.
Hello. daddy" she cried, and
waved her hand when he came into
View. She saw little package that
might have been a box of sweets,
tucked in the crook Of his arm. and
leaned too far out to see 1t better.
Just as Sabranno was returning the
salute Susie slipped and tumbled out
Of the window. Sabranno jumped
into her path, set himself, and caught
her. The force OF the three-story
drop sent the man rolling along the
pavement with his child clutched In
his arms. but neither was hurt.

COOPERATE FOR GOOD ROADS
State and Federal Governments Should
Work Together for Highway I'm.
provement, Says Mr.. Houston.

Secretary Houston OF the depart
ment of agriculture says that the state
and federal governments should work
together for highway improvement. in
order that large proportion of the
money annually spent for road con.
struction may not be wasted.
In his own department, the Office Of
public roads has been demonstrating
the value of proper road building BY
| the construction of certain cbjectIes-
son roads. and the forest service is
carrying out his idea Of national and
state cooperation in road building
/ The law requires that ten per cent OF
the gross receipts from the naticual
| forests shall be spent in the states III
which the forests are situated. This
money is expended for road improve
ment, under direct control of the sec
retary of agriculture.
The amount appropriated under this
act. based on the receipts of the ma
tional forests for the fiscal year ending
June so. 1918, is $234 .63S6S. From
the 1912 receipts for this ten per cent.
road item, there is an additional $134,-
S31.10 which is still available.
In administering the ten per cent.
road fund, forest officers charged with
the actual plans and expenditures in
the neighborhood of their forests have,
in almost all cases, secured an equal
or larger cooperative fund from
state authorities for the building OF
certain pieces of road.

many important roads are being built

reserve service and the local authori-
ties co-operated enthusiastically. On
the Florida national forest in western
Florida, steel bridges and graded roads
have, under the stimulus OF this fund,
taken the place of corduroy, bog and
sand.
This federal road fund is now avail
able in all national forest states of the
west. Just as fast as returns come in,
the forestry officials say, a similar
fund will become available in states In
which eastern national forests are be-
ing secured.

CASH VALUE OF GOOD ROADS
One Fact Alone 10 Sufficient to Justify
Expense Of Construction Under
Efficient System.

No one questions the statement that
good roads have high money value to
the farmers of the nation, and it may
be said that this alone is sufficient to
justify the cost of their construction
as rapidly ~ practicable under an EN-
Gent. economical and equitable sys.
tenn Of highway Improvement.
The big point In favor Of this ex.
penditure 10 the economy Of time anG
force in transportation between farm
and market. enabling the growers to
take advantage Of fluctuations in buy,
ing and selling. as we'll as enhancing
the value Of real estate. 1t is est,
mated that the average annual loss
from poor roads is IS cents an acre.
while the estimated average increase
resulting from improving all the public
roads is 50.
The losses in Ave years would ag.
gregate $2.432 for every section OF
land, or more than enough to improve
two miles Of public highway. The ne
cessity Of good roads is obvious, as i,
would enhance the value Of each sec
ton Of land about $5.76O, or more than
double the estimated cost Of two miles
Of improved highway. which const

ed part of fountain. The eyes are
round, showing the iris and pupils,
with good eyebrows. The lips are
parted in smile, indicative of rep
lillian character. From the upper jaw
depend four long poison fangs which
lie across the lower jaw like the
whiskers of a walrus.
No data has been found to indicate
the architectural scheme of which
this head formed part, but it is
thought that there may have been
two of these monster heads thanking
