HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
l,oOO-MILE ROAD PROPOSED
Canada 20 Build Route Similar to
Lincoln, HIShway-To Extend
From Winnipeg to Calgary.

Central.western Canada will have a
federal highway much after the plan
OF the Lincoln highway proposed
across the United States If the prof.
ect being urged by the board Of con
troll of Winnipeg is carried out. This
project contemplates the construction
Of concrete highway from Winnipeg
to Calgary, to go through the more
thickly settled territory tapped.by the
Canadian Pacific railway.
The thousand miles Of highway
through the provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and halfway into Al
berta will be financed by the munich
palities by which the roadway would
be traversed. Special appropriations
also will be sought from the provincial
governments. The, project has been
received with enthusiasm in a number
of the larger cities along the proposed
route.
1t has been pointed out by the pro.
moters of the highway through the
prairie provinces that its construction
would enhance the value of the farm
lands for several miles on both sides
of the concrete roadway.

John Henry on Servant Problem

WHEN Peaches and get tired Of the
" Big Town-tired Of its noises and
hullahaloo; tired of being tagged by
taxis as we cross a street; tired of
watching grocers and butchers hoist
ing higher the highest cost of living
that's our cue to grab choo-choo and
breeze out to Uncle Peter Grants
farm and bungalow in the wilds of
Westchester, which he calls Trooly-
rooral.
Just to even matters up, Uncle Pc
ter and his wife visit us from time to
time in our amateur apartment in the
Big Town.
Uncle Peter is a very stout old gem
tieman. When he squeezes into our
little fiat the walls act as if they were
bowlegged.
Uncle Peter always goes through
the folding doors sideways, and every
time he sits down the man in the
apartment below us kicks because we
move the piano so often.
Aunt Martha is Uncle Peters wife
and she weighs more and breathes
oftener.
When the two of them visit our bird
cage at the same time the janitor has
to go out and stand in front of the
building with view to catching it
If it falls.
When we reached Troolyrooral we
found that cousin Elsie" Schulz was
also visitor there.
Cousin Elsie" is sort of privileged
character in the family having lived
with Aunt Maria for over twenty years
as sort Of housekeeper.
They call her Cousin Elsie" lust to
make it more difficult
Three or four years ago Elsie mar
ried Gustave Bierbauer and quit her
Job.
Cousin Elsie" believes that con-
versation was invented for her exclu-
sive use, and the way she can grab

break it up is a caution.
Language is the same to Elsie as a
siphon is to highball-and that's a
whole lot
Two years after their marriage old
Gustave stopped living so abruptly
that the coroner had to sit on him.
The post mortem found out that
Gustave had died from a rush of
words to his brainpan.
The coroner also found, upon fur
ther examination, that all of these
words had formerly belonged to Elsie.
with the exception of a few which
were once the property of Gustave's
favorite bartender.
After Gustave's exit, Aunt Maria
tried to get Elsie back on her job, but
the old Dutch had her eye on Her
Wan Schulz, and finally married him.
So now every once in a while Elsie
