GOOD
ROADS
FOR PROMOTING GOOD ROADS
Suggestion Made by Chairman pIehl
for Great National Congress TO
Be Held In Washington.

"Unquestionably the time has ar
rived for a great national road con-
gress to be held once q year in the
national capital under federal govern
ment direction" asserts George @.
Diehl, chairman of the American Au-
tomobile association good roads board.
''This gathering In Washington
would be under the auspices of the
United States Office of public roads
and rural engineering Of the depart
ment of agriculture" continues Mr..
Diehl, "and the event could be made
most comprehensive in its scope; there
could be complete exhibit of road
machinery and road materials; there
could be sample construction of vari-
Gus kinds of highways; road schools
could be conducted for state, county
and town engineers, and various tech
nical phases of the work could be set
forth by trained experts who would
gladly attend such a great good-roads
event.
"Then there would come the interre-
lated phases Of road travel, and road
transportation. Undoubtedly the de-
partment Of the interior, because of its
national parks. would set forth the
scenic attractions which are under
government supervision. Various states
would be given opportunity Of adver-
tisng their attractions.
1.-THE good-roads board believes in
state highway conventions which are
generally called for a specific purpose
In the endeavor to concentrate the eff
forts of road enthusiasts for definite
ends. These state meetings are Of In
calculable value, for the state is the
political subdivision which must carry
on by far the greatest burden Of future
road construction and maintenance.
"With the vast amount of funds be-
Ing expended throughout the country,
the government of the highway depart
ments is becoming largely a question
of scientific management, and 1t Is be-
lieved that IL the county were the
smallest unit Of administration greater
efficiency would result. The numerous
state good-roads meetings converged
into great national congress once a
year, held In the national capital, 1t
is believed would be the best way of
handling the changed highway situa-
ton, and the government could proper

The young man who takes secret de-
fight in arousing the jealousy Of his
betrothed sweetheart is sharpening
to its keenest edge a sword that will
cause him no end of trouble all
through his married life. 1 wonder
how any sane man can enter into the
plan Of trying to arouse jealousy to de-
termine how much the girl really
thinks Of him.
He should know that jealousy
arouses distrust. When confidence
has once been disturbed, it seldom or
never knows actual peace again.
In the days Of early courtship a
man should make up his mind wheth-
er or not he has met the one woman
from among all others who can make
his life complete. Having once settled
this most important query to his. own
satisfaction, proposed marriage and
been accepted, he should devote the
remainder of his single days to the
object Of making the woman who is
to wed him as supremely happy as
betrothed lovers should be.
It shows decided lack Of intelli-
gence and manly kindness as well
for the engaged man to show undue
attention to any other woman, to the

WOMAN ONCE EARNED MONEY.
Alasl The joys that fortune brings
Arc trifiing and decay.
And those who prize tho paltry things
More trifiing still than they.

When thousands Of young men the
country over quit their jobs to aid the
cause Of Uncle Sam. their sisters and
their sweethearts jumped into their
places to hold down their positions
until the boys returned. No one said
them nay. but whether or not the
move was a wise one is a story yet
to be told.
There is a sort Of fascination in
making money, the result Of which Is
never safterward wholly overcome. It
will be an eye opener to many a sweet
heart as to the real value of the sti-
pend her Jack receives to compensate
him for his hours Of toll and give her
an insight as to her future prospects
when they wed.
Other girls will make the discovery
that 1t is not necessary to wed that
their support may be transferred from
their fathers shoulders to a hus-
bands, for they are proving capable
Of making their own way. Jack will
find very practical business young
woman waiting him on his return, who
will wish to make a bargain with him
that she may still hold that position
after marriage, he finding another as
best he can.
The girl who discovers her value as
moneymaker is not apt to make
clinging-vine sort Of heartmate. Her
independence will assert itself. She
will let Jack understand that she is
doing him the greatest of favor to
throw up good-paying position to en-
ter little fiat, to bake, wash and
housekeep for him for her board and
clothes. He will be obliged to show
er all the love his heart is capable of
expressing to keep her there con-
tented.
The girl entirely dependent upon her
husband Is often made the toy Of his
caprices Of Ill humor or Ill treatment.
Such a wife has a horror of being
thrown upon the world, realizing her
utter helplessness.
The wife who has once had the
taste of moneymaking will not stand
abuse. drunkenness or laziness in a
spouse. Facing the world has no ter
rors for her. Rather than lower the
standard she has set for herself, and
for him as well, she will 90 back to
her position and the comfort Of earn
ing money to keep out of debt. She
who has known the power of exchang-
ing her time and ability for fair
wage, ever afterward rebels at the hui
initiation Of having cash for her needs
grudgingly handed her in small pit
tances by close-isted, penurious hus-
band.
The girl who knows what it Is to
work hard for her dollars Is the one
who is frugal in their expenditure. It
Is great education-one of life's les
sons she is not likely to forget. She
Is not likely to marry for the sake
Of home. With her 1t is the giving
up of great opportunities probably
for love, and for love alone, when she
weds. The knowledge that If need
be she can support herself is Of great
value to a woman.

MUNlTloN TOWN OF FRANCE
Ls creusot and the Immense Ordnance
Factories Started There by
the SchneIders.

lie Creusot Is the center Of Frances
war munition works. Like the famous
Krupp works of Germany, lie Creusots
vast ordnance factories owe their
origin to the organizing and inventive
genius Of one family--the Schneiders.
At the outbreak Of the war the
Schneider Iron works employed more
than $4,000 workmen and their great
shops, covering hundreds Of acres Cd
ground, were connected by network
of nearly 40 miles of railroad tracks.
Since the war this plant has been
enormously increased, says a National
Geographic society bulletin.
LIE Creusot owes its Importance in
the manufacturing and foundry indus
try to the fact that 1t is In the center
of one Of the richest coal and iron min
ing districts of France. The coal beds
of this region were discovered In the
thirteenth century, but 1t was not I'M
TIL 500 years later, in 1774, that the
first iron works were established. Sixty
years later the Schneiders, Adolphe
and Eugene, established their first
workshops here, and the little hamlet,
formerly known as Charbonniere, be-
gan to grow. In 1841 1t was town Of
1000 people; Just before the war there
were $4,000 Inhabitants, nearly half Of
whom were employed in the armor-
plate factories, the gun shops, the lo-
connective works and the ordnance
plants. 1t was one of the Schneiders,
incidentally, who revolutionized war
ship armament in 1875. Up to that time
the most progressive nations used
wrought iron for protective armor on
their ships. Schneider proved the
superiority Of steel in resisting the
penetrating power Of projectiles.

Loire, the longest river In France, rises
to the south and flows northwest into
the Atlantic.
While LIE Creusot has practically no
historical associations of its own, IL
is only q few miles southeast of Autun,

mans, celebrated for fits ancient
