The National Trail
married

There is one stretch of highway
in this county that is good the
year round without the aid or con-
sent or hopes of reward from the
logerheading county highway com
mission. We have reference to
the National Trail running south
from the Harry White corner
southeast of Laclede. The BLADE
car was over this road last Sunday
and it is certainly a boulevard. 1t
is kept so by the splendid farmers
who live along the trail and it
shows intelligent work. There is
no better farms anywhere than
along the National Trail in this
county and the farmers do not
propose to have their farms dis
graced by bad roads when it takes
so little time with the drag to
keep them in frstclass condition.
All honor to the farmers along the
National Trail. They are certainly
setting the pace in eond roads

Picking Out Names

From the Hartford COurant.
 A fruitful cause of wonder and often of amusement as well is found in the names of hamlets, villages and towns. In many instances the lack of originality is the feature that attracts the observers attention and visitors to New England are led to comment on the lack of invention and ina gnation displayed in the naming of towns in this section. Names for most of them were brought over from England, and then the fathers varied these with such additions as New and "Old,'' and the points of the compass. For instance, we hear of New Haven, North Haven, West Haven and East Haven, and we have as many kinds of Hartfords here abouts. There is an Old Saybrook as well as a Saybrook, and an Old Lyme as well as a Lyme. We have not only a Milford, but a New Milford, and a New Canaan as We'll as d Canaan. Thus it goes throughout the land of the Pilgrims and Puritans, while journey through New York state is like taking a course in ancient Roman and Greek history, with Troy, Rome, Syracuse, Utica and so on. These older European names, as well as the Indian names which have been pre- served show the inclination to use what Is ready at hand without employing either ina gnation invention. In other places is to be found the opposite tendency, and it is when too much imagination or a misdirected imagination has had sway that names of localities often cause amuse- ment which shows the early settlers who stuck to the old names displayed bet ter judgment. if less active ina gina

Tennis Gaining

From the Cleveland Leader.
 This has been a great year for lawn tennis. The sales of tennis balls and
 racquets shows a remarkable expansion in the demand for equipment of all kinds. for this vigorous and fascinating sport.
 The number of permits sought by those
 who use the public courts in Cleveland
 has borne witness to the rapid growth in
 popularity of a game which is often under
 rated and misjudged by those who do not
 know it by personal experience. The ten
 his tournaments have drawn out bigger
 crowds than ever before.
 All these proofs of the rising tide of
 tennis are signs of sound taste in ath- letic sports. Tennis is an adaptable of the skill and endurance of the most powerful young athletes. It can be slowed down to suit the physical limitations of those who are neither young nor athletic. Many women who are by no means strong find mucr pleasure and recreation in lawn tennis and benefit their health by playing the game moderately and prudently It is not a sport which requires a great dea, of space nor is it necessary to have l a costly outfit. It can be adapted to very modest means and some extremely good 1 players gain their knowledge of the game | on public courts, using cheap racquets and working every ball to the limit of | endurance.
 | Altogether, the tennis boom is desir- l able in every way. It is fine, active, bustling game, full of life and "go," and | it is good for the health of body and mind

Why Women Change Their Styles

run l1tSlit \.
 Some one has said that the only req
 son women have for changing styles so
 often is that they may attract atten-
 tion to themselves Men go on wearing
 the same style of hat. the same cut of
 clothes, season after season, year after
 year. There are some minor changes,
 but nothing so radical. as a rule, to make
 last seasons derby or last winters over
 coat grotesque. Many middle-aged or el-
 derly men, who are conservative in their
 ideas about dress, have their clothes made
 on absolutely the same lines, year after
 year. How different is it with woman, !,
 says our critic. One year her skirts are
 SC tight she can hardly walk in them, the
 next they have gone to the extreme of fullness. In headgear there is veritable riot of change. Broad hats and narrow hats high hats and low hats, hats with foliage or plumes, and hats without either, follow in quick succession. Men say the only purpose of all this change is to at tract their attention. I question whether our critic, any other man, is able to draw the fine line that separates the orna- mental from the purely useful. either in woman's dress or in their own. May there not be some of the peafowl in us all? But if a woman is thinking only of attracting attention to herself, the demure little Quakeress has the best of us all, in this riot of change and of color. Why not place some of the blame for the fast and furious changes in wom- ans styles upon the manufacturers of feminine garments, who find it exceeding ly profitable to turn out new styles with every change of season?

 But Of special interest to an American iistener-and the writer was not the only one, Tor the American ambassador sat within reach of his right arm and Henry James, the American author, on his left was the lecturers statement that the American revolution was perhaps the l greatest cause of the race consciousness that made subsequent wars struggles be- tween people and not dynasties or I castes.
 Another, and perhaps more interesting | observation of Lord Bryce's. was his statement that although now the Bible was printed in no less than 42 languages Tn one state in the United States, he be- lieved he was safe in predicting that in DO years no more than four languages would be spoken in America
 One of the most appreciated sentences in the whole lecture was the Irishman 8 description of the great Aryan race. which he spoke of as starting from it's Asian home and marching west, driving it's cattle before it, until it arrived at the Cliff House, San Francisco, in an automobile.'
 On the general subject of the war, Lord Bryce warned his hearers that none of
 
 characteristics that were the cause He pointed to the exaggerated national and racial pride that was due to the writ ings and teachings of historians and poets and authors in all lands and ended by expressing the view that the general exhaustion that would follow this strug- gle would perhaps prevent war on al very large scale for many years to come
 Richter Arouses British Ire

 Recently, however there has been q recurrence of this initial prejudice, due largely to the fact that word has been received in this country of the action of Hans Richter. the famous Austrian con ] ductor long associated with German opera at Ccvent garden. who has announced his determination to return all the Eng fish honors and decorations that were so plentifully heaped upon him in happier times. This action of Richter Is to be regretted all the more because he was extremely popular among operagoers in England, and especially among the lovers of Wag- 1 ncr.
