ton is not sought under conditions
necessarily inimical to health.
Undoubtedly many factors effects
school attendance and the prevail
ence of illiteracy in a community.
Nevertheless, it is a pregnant fact
that in five states recently selected
because of their VIGOROUSLY bad roads
the average daily attendance at school
was only SO per cent. of the enrolled
pupils. In five states, famous for
their good roads, the daily average
attendance at school was so per cent.
of the enrolled pupils. Taking our
country as whole, we find a little
more than so per cent, of the children
between six and fourteen years of age
in school for as much as six months
out of the year. In Japan, over 90
per cent. attend for more than nine
months. These Japanese statistics are
official, obtained from the Japan year
book. In the first five states, the
percentage of illiterates born of ma
tive white parents, was more than
four. In the second five, it was less
than one-third of one. In other words,
the states which had bad roads had
more than twelve times as large a
percentage Of illiterates as the states
which had good roads.
The question Of good schools in the
country is entirely one of good roads
and applied common sense. The con-
solidated school, situated at the Juno
ton of good roads, serving a district
of several miles square, the children
of which are collected and returned
daily in community wagons, has be-
come a blessed fact. Experience
shows that such school house with
all its benefcent uses as a social
center as well as a school is actually
in many cases, less expensive than the
numerous, wretched little buildings
which it has superseded.
I have spoken primarily Of the eff
feet of the roads upon the children,
because their welfare appeals most
strongly to a woman's heart. But we
women living in the cities, must not
be Indifferent to the happiness of the
women living on the farms. It too,
is deeply involved in the location of
the roads. Try to picture what their
life is in the long months when the
church might as well be in the next
state, when neighbors' faces are
rare treat, not to be enjoyed in weeks
and weeks. Imagine the loneliness,
the isolation, when the children have
escaped to the cities, and only mem
cries are left to console the mothers
for the emptiness of the silent homes.
Our bad roads are barriers, set up
between communities; they prevent
our people from thinking largely and
in national terms. But good roads
will promote the intercourse of one
woman being with another. They will
bind one to another by ties of trade,
fof interest, or of personal relation,
and so will make for the continuance
and the perpetuity of the great es-
sential policies of our government
to which we committed ourselves
Observation-Disclosures years aP. Since,
therefore, church and state, home and
schools are dependent upoi and eff
fected by the condition of our
country roads, let women gather in
conference and take counsel together
how to make the roacs god.-Manu-

If you can keep your head when

Or, haply, point out flaws in all

If you can calmly trust when others

And make allowance for their

If you can keep your courage high,

Go on with all the tasks that come
your way;
Or march along in face Of sad disas-

And change the darkling night to
light Of day;
If you can hide your heart-break and
your sorrow
And help some weaker soul along

If shifting over your familiar burden
You tighten cheerfully another's

If you can lead stumbling, SHINING

Each one Of the six doctors" was
supposed 10 have sidewhiskers, TOO

something about sidewhiskers that

psychology about such whiskers.
And those six doctors" had pic

with six pairs of sidewhiskers in a
row. And those pictures went into
newspapers and on billboards and
the dollars came rolling in. The
ignorant sick thought there could
be no guile nor deceit in an office
where six pairs of sidewhiskers
blocmed all at once.
When the government secret
service men got after the nest of
"German-American" frauds they
found that not one Of the six had

part of the fake.

in each case. the medicine being
mixed by a negro porter. He testi-

Lasting Peace Cannot Be

generous ideals that had taken such
root in the generation of 1913 and
that the following generations de-
spised as dreams; if they will not
recognize-all of them and even the
strongest of them-the rights of
other peoples, even the weakest, to
live and to progress independently,
