THE HERALD,s sERyICE.

Editor FL Paso Herald;
The Herald of Saturday has a very
timely editorial recommending appreci-
alton OF the Juarez officials in their
recent efforts for a clean city. "All
honor TO whom honor is due"
Appreciation is also due a paper that
recognizes the fact that material good
is not the "summum bonum' of exist
ence; that there are some things not
visible to the human eye, nor appetite,
that are Of far greater moment TO the
community than city lots or high rents
or other material good; that the spirit
of a community or a school is more
significant than the numbers; that it
is not altogether quantity We want, but
quality. BY quality we do not mean
aristOcracy nor snobbishness. but high
ideals-of honesty, of purity, of justice,
Of cooperation, the common good. All
honor, 1 repeat, to a paper that steadily
and persistently holds up such a stand
ard, Citizen.

on; and treated in the same manner
Chat is opened to traffic until the sec
ond layer has also become compacted.)
Finally a third layer is put on under
the same conditions.
When the third layer has become
perfectly compact, and is of uniform
surface, a layer Of fine clean gravel or
very finely crushed rock. two and one
half inches thick, is spread evenly over
it to receive the paving surface. This
surface is composed of blocks of stone

according to the travel over the pave
ment. Each block is carefully settled in
its place by means of a heavy beetle;
and is then removed TO be coated with
hydraulic mortar on the side against

placed and adjusted The blocks Of the
different courses across the roadway
should break joints. The surface OF the
road should be convex"
Now. instead OF the natural stone, we
could have concrete blocks made in

The only objection to this plan would
be the one of hurry The contractor

The Day Approaches

Our national difficulties with Great Britain, grave
though they be- never seem to bring a "crisis';
Britain has taken countless liberties with
merce and has violated rule after rule not only of
international law but of international good will and
good feeling But she open our sealed diplomatic
mail and take noncombatants off American ships at
sea without producing ripple Of national hos
tity on this side All controversies with her seem
to be treated by Washington purely academic
Britains delay Of many months before acknowl-
edginq receipt of our notes" is not held to BritanS
discredit.
But every time a difference Of opinion arises with
Germany there is a "criss" Immediately Washington
breathes Of strained relations, officials 90 about with
drawn faces" mysterious meetings magnfed into
utiu1atums and there is nsstence upon immediate
and Incorporating compliance with our views. The
United States is placed in serious situation now
BY reason Of the submarine plan Of attack an
nounced by Germany. Soon after March I, the issue
will be Joined. 1t will be interesting to what will
be done by Germany and how shall meet 1t.
Some time ago, the Washington government in
quired if the allies would accept the principle of not
armng merchant ships for defence against submarines
this note (Which has been replied to by the
ales) indicated that the Washington government was
th;-kng in that channel and had itself accepted the
pr9ipe as reasonable Later Germany announced that
after February 20 she would regard war vessels all
merchantmen armed for defence, which means that
she claims the right to sink them without warning.
The Washington government has now given out that
it will stand pat on the old rule which is opposed to
Germanys project.

1t looks as if we shall get considerable increase

Nobody should deceive himself into thinking that
the present administration is going to make provision
for any immediate increase in military or naval force

the administration plans provide for gradual increase
over period of TO years. By 1926 under these
plans we should have navy and army fairly adequate

THE ROAD auEsTIoN AGAIN.

Editor FL PasO Herald.
1t is quite amusing to hear the vari-
GUS comments made by the unknowing
concerning the merits or dement's OF
the various kinds OF roads. that should
be built in our county. one remark
appears in the light Of history, to be
especially amusing. IL was stated in
the paper the other day that at a GER
tain meeting OF our county commits
sioners. some one made an appeal to
have a road constructed Of concrete or
cement whereupon a very wise person
remarked that they did not want any
experiments" that they wanted the
tried" and found satisfactory-bitu
lithic."
This word is a compound of parts OF
two other words, btu" being part Of
the word ''bitumen." which is mineral
pitch or asphalt and the word "ithic"
meaning stone or pertaining to stone.
SO that "bitulithic' pavement is simply
a coating OF bitumen into which is
rolled small stone.
The foundation Of all roads should be
the same. Since the question Of good
roads" is one of such Importance to us
all. ] think IL might not be a bad idea
TO shed a little light on the subject,
from the best authority we have. Be-
fore doing this ] will call attention 20
the fact that some 1000 years ago the

SharpShooting At Conceit

The French are adopts at pricking the bubbles OF
conceit La RochefOucauId says, "Real love IS like

few have seen it." 1t isn't true of course it isn't We
are all true lovers ourselves. Life would not
he worth living if il not That's why we work
and do without and look and plan ahead and worry
ourselves sick 1t is love live and WORK and die
for-true love-it must be, for nothing else explains
a lot of things we do
Rouchefoucauld enjoyed putting words together so
thew would prick regardless of the truth But deny 1t
ali around the house. the jbe goes on prckng until
one forges it. One forget it because Rochetoucaud
aimed his dart at all humanity. Nothing personal to it.
IF anyone had said it to any one he knew the hurt
and some hate would endure forever.
If there ia enc thing the human does not want to
be accused of being at fault in, it is in loving. If
there is one thing every is Of in himself it is
that his heart in the right place The value of the
French philosophers who point their thoughts
sharDlv and also of the English Bernard Shaw who
mt the same things with such robust fun, is that they
give one pause while polishes up his loving bit,
or puts as good patch he his honesty, or
mends his manners where they are getting frnged and
broken through
Occasionally an outspoken person has the
quality of breaking through mistakes and hypocrisies

French and Italian people heard the
good tidings Of the gospel in Latin: in
these countries the Latin language was
the peoples language in the II and
XII centuries: the new languages just
began in those two centuries.
The learned men. as lawyers, physi-
clans and priests continued writing in
Latin as far as the XIII, XIV and XIV
centuries. SO the people had an open
bible at hand at any time.
THE verdict OF the histories Of the
middle ages is not according to the as
sertion OF Y. Y. y. that the Latin Ian
guage was understood by none but the
clergy. Even today in all Spanish high
schools Latin is taught and every law
yer is well acquainted with it.

you say is different to the verdict of
