ROUGH ROADS HURT SCHOOLS
Communities Having Advantage of lm- proved Highways Can Afford to
 Build Better Buildings.

That good roads materially affect the county school system has been re- peatedly demonstrated. In states where the roads are kept up well the attendance at school is 80 per cent as against GA per cent in states where the roads are neglected and are in bad condition. Improved roads make it possible to consolidate or centralize the schools and to establish graded schools in the rural districts. Such schools centrally located will accom- modate all of the children within ra- dius of from four to five miles. In many communities having the advan- tage of good roads, commodious build lngs have been provided, more com petent teachers have been employed and modern facilities for teaching have been supplied at a minimum cost. There are about two thousand consoli- lated rural schools in the United States, and it is significant to note that the states that have made the greatest progress in the building and maintenance of good roads have the
 argest schools No community can | afford not to have good roads and where a few enterprising citizens will .ake the lead the results can be real | zed.

Six feet one Inch in height, the first sacker in the Dodgers possession can and does snag many a wild toss and still manages to keep his foot on the bag, to the great discontinue of the batsman try Ing to get to the initial corner. It takes a mighty wild heave to draw Daubert from the bag.
 It is figured that Jake can get a throw nine feet from the bag when the ball comes to the right, stretching his full length and still hooking the station with his toe.
 Having to reach across his body with his gloved hand when ball is thrown to the left of the bag, he natu rally loses some distance in mailing these heaves, but he can get those that come within eight feet and two or three inches. Of course, if the worst comes to the worst, the Dodgel

A recent addition to road building equipment is a gasoline driven ma chine used for applying the hot bitum- inous binder under pressure so that it will penetrate and fill the spaces be- tween the stones, says Popular Me chanics. After the first course of stone is laid this machine is run over the roads, discharging the bituminous binder through a series of vertical pipes at the forward end. As soon as the binder has hardened, second course of stone is laid and rolled, the rolling forcing the two courses into one compact layer. The binder is then applied a second time, and the proc

NO ABUSE 0F POWER
Charge That President Is a
 Despot Is Futile.
Republican Press Unable to Point to Single Instance of intimidation of Legislator by the Chief
 Executive.

Many presidents have purchased support in the house or the senate by the use of patronage. MT. Wilson's bltterest opponent makes no such charge against him.
 Certain presidents have sought to coerce recalcitrant members of con" gress by publicly attacking them MT. Wilson has done nothing like that.
 Other presidents have tried to bring hostile senators and representatives into line by holding over their heads the power of the national organiza- tion and threatening them with defeat No such indictment has been brought against MT. Wilson
 More than one president has been accused of making deals with con- gressmen by which their support was obtained in consideration of execu- tive approval of legislation in which they were interested. No accusation of that kind has been lodged against MT. Wilson.
 We are assured by partisan Re- publican press that the president IS despot who rules the house with an iron hand, and that the senate has been engaged in desperate battle to maintain its independence against usurpation. But when? And how? And where?
 What influence has President Will son ever exerted upon congress except the influence of advice and counsel! Whas command does he exercise over the Democratic majority in Washing ton except the command of brain and character?
 What member of congress can stand up and say that the president evel tried to intimidate him? What mem Der can say that the president evel promised him anything or threatened him with anything?
 What single instance of an abuse o executive power can be charged 1 against President Wilson in his rela tions with congress? Yet we art asked to believe that he is an auto crat who has stripped the Legislative branch of it's constitutional preroga tives and made it a machine for reg 1 istering his imperial decrees.

BUSINESS TIDE HAS TURNED
Increasing Signs That Prosperity Is Spreading in All Parts of
 the Country.

There are multiplying signs that 'tthe tide has turned" as President Farrell of the steel trust declared last week. and that a marked improve ment in.the general business situation is to be seen day by day.
 The steel trust reports an increase of 411,92S tons in thrilled orders in January, and the number of men em- ployed by it has been increased 25 per cent in that period. The first of the month the Carnegie Steel works re- sumed full operation, giving employ ment to between 5000 and 5000 men, and the American Steel and Wire com pany at Pittsburgh has taken on 2,500 more men and is running full time on new orders. The H. c. Prick Coke company has fired 2,50D new ovens within few days.
 From Chicago it is reported that within the last thirty days orders have been placed for $30,000,000 worth of freight and passenger cars, locomo- tives and railroad materials, not in cluding orders since January for for eign governments. As a single in. stance, the Pennsylvania railroad has ordered 15,OOO cars, costing $12,000, l 900. Russia alone is reported to have | placed orders amounting to 12.000. .00C | with a Seattle car concern.
 The calamity howlers who take com fort in shrieking bad times and the croaking politicians who seek to capi talize commercial disturbance due tc l the war will soon be without an is sue. The prosperity of this country liesl not with the pessimists. but with those who act on President Farrell's advise and have "the courage. not ol destruction, but of construction"

Fresh fruit plucked from roadside trees is a pleasure travellers will be able to enjoy several years hence, when they stop for lunch in some shady nook.

 When reaching into the diamond for a low heave Daubert has another tel escaping stunt to do. Of course he does not have to stretch quite as far to get low one, for he can judge his ball and take it on the bound if there is time to wait for it.

LAPS RECOGNIZE
 BAY STATE LAWS
 IN COURT HEARING
Endorse Massachusetts Deci- sion in Awarding Custody
 of Fills Child.

Tokio Nov. 23-Mrs Harriet A. Fills of achusetts has won the first decision in the battle for the pos session of her child which has en- gagged the attention of two continents As reported by cable, the district court of &Tol1io handed down a judg- m ent against Mr. John Fills in the suit brought by his wife for the per
 nanent possession of their eight. year old daughter, Olga Natalie. MT Fills at once made an appeal to the TOkio court of appeal, announcing through his lawyer, at the same time, that if the appeal court ruled against him, he will continue the fight to the su- preme court of Japan. It is expected that the, case will require another six
 months or a year for definite settle mept.
 a It is likely that Mrs. Fills will apply for a temporary order from the court for. the immediate custody of the child pending the result of the appeal This temporary possession will probably be opposed by the defendant.
 The Japanese court reached its de- cision without going into question of the respective fitness of the parents to act as the girls guardian.H The judge refused to consider this point in the case. They held that the deci- sion of the court of Maasac achusetts, which Mrs. Fills had two decrees giv- ing her the custody of her daughter. had created legal status that ought to be recognized in Japan. just as the status of marriage performer abroad is recognizedN here. The decision was based largely on consideration of pub lie policy, it being the attitude of the court that a. judgment against Mrs Fills would affect the validity of the law of Japan in similar cases in the United States. |
 MT. Fills who is a teacher of Eng fish in the Higher Commercial School, took his daughter from his wife in 1913 and came to Japan. An attempt to have him eXtradited having failed, Mrs. Fills herself came to Japan to begin fight for the custody of her daughter. All attempts at reconcilla.- tion of the couple having failed.

 BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY

Buenos Aires, Nov. 2s-PIans for the celebration next July of the tooth anniversary of the establishment of the Argentine Republic have been largely curtailed because of the world-crisiSs now prevailing, and it has even been suggested that the cel- ebration be postponed for several years unless there is early relief from the genr1 treade depression. Congress has cut down considerably the sum of money which was deemed necessary to carry out the original plans, so there is little Likelihood that tie Cen tenary .of4the Constitution will be ob- served on such an elaborate scale as was the centenary of the War of Independence, which was celebrated in May, 1910.
 Although a gradual recovery in trade and commerce generally is mo- ticed, and the prospects for the com ing year are favorable, there is wide spread protest against drawing heav- fly from the national exchecquer for any patriotic celebration at this time.
