We BUILD ROADS
r.. e. Odds Condemns Idea That
e. S. Roads Are Poor.
Finest Highways in World in
America, He Says.

I'VE Americans are prone to over
estimate and sometimes to boast Of
that which we have" says r. E. Olds,
president of the REQ Motor Car COM
pany. AT least that is the accusa-
ton made by our European cousins.
sometimes wonder if it is just. l Won
der if we do not more often underesti-
mate our possessions and our achieve
ments.
I'VE are accustomed to saying that
we have the worst roads in the world,
and to hold up as an example OF
model roads the centuries-old high
ways of Europe.
500 and 1000 miles of roads this year,
and Illinois will be a close second to
her with 700 to 500 miles. In Cook
county alone 800 miles of roads will
have been completed this year
Some of our western states are
more tardy about road building, but
that is due not so much to lack of
appreciation of good roads or of enter
prise on the part of the people there,
as to the fact that those regions are
entirely lacking in road building ma
terial. Take Iowa, for example. The
wonderful soil that makes Iowa one
| of the richest states in America, is
not well suited to road-making. In
day weather it is all right. But Iowa
people have found by grading high
and draining we'll they can keep d
fairly good surface even in moderately
wet weather The melting SHOWS and
heavy spring rains, however, makes
The rich Iowa gumbo almost impass-
able. At such periods the Iowa mo-
| torist takes Solace in watching the
grain sprout, and in estimating how
many new automobiles he can afford
to buy the coming year.
I'm California there are more roads
and better roads than in all the famed
Rivieras, while in our sparsely pop
| ulated western states, bad as they are,
they compare most favorably with
those of many European countries in
which, because of the Older Civili-
zation' that is supposed to be there
one would expect to find roads that
were passable instead of merely
mountain trails.
Our distances are vast, and we
overlook the fact that we have had
only a short time in which to build
roads. Both these factors considered
however. 1 think we have built more
! good roads than any other people
ever built in the same length of time
and it will not be many years until
America will lead the world in good
.Ehighways.'

ON COUNTRY LIFE.
DIR. Brown Tells Y. NJ. c. A.
Christianity Is Necessary.
Recreation Plays Important
Part in Country Schools.

Kansas City, Kan. Feb. 1.-THE
great rural problem in the United
States is to make country life Chris
tan, efficient, attractive and satisfy
ing to all classes of country people, Dr.
John Brown of Chicago, health and
recreation secretary of the lnterna-
tional Y NJ. c. A, told the delegates
attending the biennial convention OF
the Young Mems Christian Association
of Kansas here this afternoon.
This is important not only be-
cause it involves more than half the
population of the United States now
living in communities of less than
$500 population, but also because 1t
has a direct and vital relation to the
smaller half of the population living
in the rapidly increasing cities and
metropolitan centers," said DR.. Brown
Proper recreation for the open
country and the small rural commun-
ity challenges the thought of our best
rural leaders in every sphere of coun
try life, for it is closely linked with
the solution of many other complex
social and moral problems involving
those of all ages and both sexes and
the home, school, church and COM
munity.
Watch Rural Health.
The rural problem in health is to
arouse community consciousness that
shall result in bringing to bear all that
modern science and experience has
taught regarding physical efficiency,
sanitation and hygiene, and applying
them to the individual, the home. the
farm and the community.
Surveys and health campaigns
have revealed truly startling condi-
lions in small rural communities,
which were hitherto considered about
as good as any place its size.
Dr. Brown asserted that the "hu-
man crop" was the least studied in
many farming communities and that
if the present trend continued in some
states the persons wishing to be well
and live long will move from the coun-
try to the city where the death rate
is lower and sickness less prevalent.
Country life must be made more
attractive to the young man and young
woman full of life and Astounding vi
tally" continued DR.. Brown. The
isolation, mOnotony and drudgery', of
life on the farm and in the small town
and the lure of the great city must be
counteracted by wholesome recreation
and amusements if we are to retain
a fair proportion OF the country's best
young people for future rural leader
ship.
THE problem in rural recreation in
the United States is the development
of wholesome Indigenous. scientific,
adequate anu permanent play anu ISC-
reation activities for all ages of both
sexes as an integral part of country
life, finding expression in the home,
school, church and community.
THE real significance and value of
play in the development of the child
should be understood on the farm just
! as well as in the city school play
ground.
Because a man or teacher is not
| interested in recreation does not mean
\ that the boys and girls are not"

In the afternoon there will be a
general platform meeting at which all
of the Methodist churches in the city
will be repre- scented. The speakers: DR..
w. NJ. Balch. of Lowman Hill; DR..
BENJAMIN Young, of the First church;
DR.. H e. Wolfe, district superintend-
ent, and DR.. C. B. Spencer. In order
to accommodate the crowd the official
board OF the First Methodist church
has invited the Walnut Grove con-
grcgation to join them in the evening
service. Bishop Anderson will preach
in the evening.
Thirty years ago in March the Rev.
]. o. Foresman drove his horse down
Harrison street in search of his new
parish, the Walnut Grove Methodist
church; an orchard and pasture were
in his path. South Topeka was then
an isolated community. entirely sep
arated from the rest OF the city.
Mr. Foresman found a few deter
mined Methodists worshiping in a
school house, running a counter at
Etraction to a thriving dance hall a
few blocks away.
His work bore fruit and in 1888
when the present BUILDING was erected
at Eighteenth and Harrison streets,
the church was so small and weak
that it was necessary to borrow two
prominent First church Topeka Meth
odists for trustees. One-fourth of the
entire cost of the building was fur
nished by the membership of the
First church.
They not only borrowed First
church members but they laid hands
on a sturdy German, Geo. Fl. Ham
mel. and made him a part of the or
ganization. To him perhaps more than
any one man has been due the splen-
did success of this growing enter
prise.
In 1906 the building was moved to
its present location, one of the finest
in the city. The church is a mile
south of the first large central church
and there is not a church either to
the east or south and it is ten blocks
from the first church to the west

the order of things in kitchens where
the tables are too low. Sometimes the
children are blamed, but it isn't their
fault. It's the table. It's a few inches
lower than it should be, and the mus
cles of the back are strained.
There is a correct height for every
table in every kitchen" says Miss Re-
becca Bartholomew, assistant in do
mestic science in the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college. Experiments
have been made which prove that the
correct height for table when wo-
man is four feet and seven inches tall
is 81 inches. If the housewife is 5
feet 5 inches tall the kitchen table
should be OK inches high. In other
words, for every five inches differ
ence in a woman's height there must
be a corresponding change of IA
inches in the height of the table"

Col Timothy s. Williams. president

'"The hesitating attitude of inves-
tors toward public utility securities
has been due not merely to the dis
position of restrictive and some times
retaliatory legislation affecting re-

vision but to doubt as TO the integrity

uncertainty of valuation and to fear

BALLED UP ELECTION DATE.
Lawrence Bond Ordinance Changed
Because of Mistake by Official.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 5.-A city Of
fetal, delving in the Kansas statutes.
discovered that in settling the water
election for March Z the commission
ers, intending to hit the date of the
city primary, had missed that mark
just one week. A new ordinance call
ing for a water bond election for the
new date, March IA, will be necessary
in consequence.
The mistake was caused by the
fact that the city election is held the
first Tuesday in April At the COM
mission meeting at which the date of
the water bond election was decided,
all the city officials took it for grant
ed that the city primaries were held
on the corresponding Tuesday in
March. But a reading of the statutes
shows that for some reason or other
the primary is set for the second
Tuesday instead of the first.
