GOOD ROADS A
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

Perhaps no other feature OF civic
reform or improvement Of recent
years has attracted SO much atten-
ton as has that Of road building. All
over our broad land, from ocean to
ocean, from the lakes to the sulf.
the wave Of enthusiasm is rolling.
The people are realizing that they
must have better roads, and the ma
chinery of government in its taxing
capacity is being ever more and
more strained to meet this demand.
But while there is a certain respon-
sibility resting upon the state in the
maintenance of our highways, we are
in danger of forgetting that an even
greater responsibility rests upon us,
individually, as citizens. The rea-
son why we sometimes lose sight of
this responsibility is that we Amer
leans have gotten into the habit of
working out all such matters thru
the medium of taxation. We tax
and we keep on taxing, and this re-

Hollow Bricks PopuIar.

During the past few years the use
Of hollow blocks and hollow bricks
has extended rapidly. These are much
lighter than solid bricks and effect an
important saving in railway carriage,
but they must be distinguished from
porous bricks. The weight alone is
not a sufficient guide, as hollow bricks
are now made which are indistinguish-
able in appearance from solid bricks.
When cut or broken their hollowness
is easily SEEN On the continent por-
GUS bricks are defined as having a
weight which is notably less than
common bricks. but this definition will
have to be abandoned now that hol-
low bricks are made in large numbers.

J. Y. was in her garden across the
road, surveying winters ruin, and
Nance with her children had borne
the captain off to the farm to see that
oft-repeated wonder and always well
come forerunner of plenty, the quite
new calf.
Clematis McAlpin, shy and long
limbed, just at the awkward age when
woman misses being either boy or girl,
had disappeared. Where, nobody knew.
She might be bird's-nesting in the
swamp or crying over the "Idylls of
the King" in the barn loft. Certainly
had seen to that. Stern and rugged of
face, he sat in the library alone and
waited for Alan. He heard a distant
screen door open and slam. Steps
echoed through the lonely house,
Alan came and stood before him.
Alan was a man. Without being tall
he looked tall. His shoulders were not
broad till you noticed the slimness Of
his hips. His neck looked too thin
till you saw the strong set of his small
head. In word; he had the perfect
proportion that looks frail and Is
strong. AS he stood before his uncle
his eyes grew dull. They were slightly
bloodshot in the corners and with
their dullness the clear-cut lines of his
face seemed to take on perceptible
blur.
J. Y. began to speak. He spoke for
long quarter Of an hour and then
summed up all he had said in a few
words. ''I've been no uncle to you,
Alan; I've been a father. I've tried
to win you, but you were not to be
won. I've tried to hold you, but it

gazed on his short-cropped hair, star

marked, Gee, look ct de old spoit in

Alan heard the remark as he entered
the club and smiled.
How do you do, sir?"
"Huh!'' grunted the captain. "Sit

guest and another for himself. He
glared at the waiter. He glared at
callow youth who had come up and
was looking with speculative eye at
neighboring chair. The waiter retired
almost precipitously. The youth fol-
lowed.
"In my time" remarked the captain.
"a club was for privacy. Now it's

for whippersnappers."
