In the minds of those who have used

BUILDING MORE GOOD ROADS
America Now Has 5000 Miles More Of
improved Highways Than France
Total Now $1,000 Miles.

Book of the American Highways asso-
ciationN recently issued, America now
has 5000 miles more of good roads
than France, the total for this country
now amounting to $1,000 miles.
OF this 5000 miles were built in 1919
and about 5000 in 1914, making total
of over one-third of the entire mileage
of the good roads of the country.
New Jersey was the pioneer state to
provide state aid for public highways
in 1891, and Massachusetts, and Con-
necticut soon followed, but it is only
during the last ten years that the state
aid policy has been in effect to any
considerable extent.

HAD HEARD ROGERS BEFORE

Representative John Jacob Rogers
of Massachusetts is young man, a
Harvard graduate, and really began
his congressional career while a half
back at college. 1t happened that
Hamlin, who was assistant secretary
of the treasury under Cleveland, came
to Harvard to give lectures in po-
litical and governmental matters, and
among his most interested pupils was
young Rogers.
The STUDY proved so facinating
that Rogers. determined to enter pub
lie life, and did so, reaching congress
to serve his first term March 4, 1912.
When making his canvass of his dis
trict he was obliged frequently to
speak, an obligation which is very
distasteful to him.
At one place he rose, and, going to
the front of the platform, said in an
ordinary voice, With an assumption OF
humility, which was intended to
charm the hearers:
Il am not going to make any
speech tonight One tall Individual
aloud, remarked:

CHIEF FLYNN'S FIRE ESCAPE

William Flynn, the secret service
chief, used to have ambitions to be
an Inventor. His taste ran toward
getting up a new-fangled fire escape
that would fold up when not in use
and not seriously mar the appearance
of building. He felt that if he could
just do something to save few dis
tracted persons caught in burning
buildings he would not have lived in
vain. Being resourceful person,
Flynn thought and thought about the
proposition until finally he got plan
all worked out He showed his draw
ings to several friends, who declared
that it was thoroughly practical. All
that remained to be done was to have
the thing patented and then sit back
and reap the fortune that was his.

going to buy when the money began

NORWAY II. 8. 80; PARIS h. s. o.
Saturday was football weather all right
and perhaps from Paris standpoint 1t
would be just as we'll to talk about the
weather as to talk about the game with
Norway High played on the high school
grounds that Afternoon. Norway thor
oughly outclassed Paris In every depart
ment. Were heavier, their team play
Was good, and their backs, taking the
ball from the center on direct pass, got
away fast and stayed on their feet we'll
while being helped along by the rest OF
the team.
The game started with Paris kicking
to Norway and the Norway team carried
the ball straight down the field for their
first score, Andrews, captain OF the
team, making the touchdown. Brooks
kicked the goal. Norway again received
the kickoff and Paris was unable to ST p
their offensive play, however they made
Norway work hard for the second touch
down, stopping them twice when they
were within yard of the goal line. On
the third try Andrews succeeded in get
ting across the line, but this time Brooks
failed at the goal and no more scoring
was done in the first half, it then being
Is to 0.
1t was thought Paris would make
better showing in the last half, when
Norway kicked to them, but after max
ing three yard gain on the first lineup,
a tumble occurred, Bartlett of Norway
got the ball and ran about 40 yards for a
touchdown. Hall failed at bis try for
goal. Norway again chose to receive the
ball on the kickoff, although it was after
wards discovered that Paris was the
team W hich should have had the choice.
Norway again took the ball up the field,
and P. Klain scored the fourth touch
down. Hall failed to kick the goal. A
short time after the next kickoff, Brooks
got away for the longestrun OF the game,
about 10 yards, resulting in another
touchdown. This time Hall kicked the
goal.
Norway's last touchdown was the re-
suit OF long forward pass, Andrews to
Eyirs, for which Brooks kicked the goal.
During the wait between the third and
fourth periods il was discovered that &C
cordins 10 the rules, in the second half
of a game the team scored upon is the
one TO make the choice, either to receive
or to kick Thus Norway had been given
the ball throughout the third quarter
when not entitled to it. After long
discussion it was decided to play the
game out and let the score stand as II
was. 10 justice to Paris, the Norway
bows must admit that this error Increased
the size of their score considerably, as
during the last quarter Norway was un.
able to score. However, the matter OF
the size of the score amounts to little, as
it is doubtful if Paris could have scored.
The best team won, and both teams kept
their heads and played clean game,
not penalty being inflicted during the
contest. 1t is expected that the teams
will play another game at the fair
grounds next Saturday, and Paris feels
confident of making better showing.
