The moro civilized man becomes ,
the more easily he gets lost. In the
semi barbaric days he trod untracked
wilds and painless seas. but always
somehow he got there"
In later times, having seemingly
lost his sense Of direction. he began
to mark his trail 50 that he could find
his way back. The gashed bark Of a
tree trunk has guided countless men
and women to their destinations: but
when the forests fell before the march
Of civilization, and as tho speed Of
the traveller increased, better road
markers became essential.
So there appeared various crude
boards nailed on poles and set up at
crossroads, stones covered with num-
bers indicating distances. and SINH
lar landmarks such as may still be
found in many country districts.
But until short time ago there was
no attempt to establish systematic
marking Of American roads. Every
locality had its own style and in many
instances the guide boards were so
weather-beaten and detective as to
be valueless. The automobile tourist
who went beyond the boundary of his
every cross-road and ask to be di-
| rected on his way. Usually tho in
formation he got was Of little use,
| because any distance exceeding ten
or fifteen miles was out Of the farm
er's reckoning.
Adequate System Needed
-Four years ago the B. F. Goodrich
Company, realizing the necessity Of
| an adequate system OF road markers.
| stepped in where governing bodies
had failed, and has since made safe
for travel over 100000 miles Of roads
| in all parts Of the United States.
This work has been carried out sys-
| tematically under the supervision Of
experts and in style which has won
bodies. automobile clubs and even
| state legislatures.
While only ono road marking
crew operated during tho first year.
it's work met with such thorough ap-
prevail that larger plans were made
| for the second years work. three
crews being sent out-one working
through the Pacific Coast States, and
| the third in the East.
The sign now being used is made
| Of galvanized armor metal with alu-
minum letters sunk into the surface
1t will not rust or deteriorate and is
in all respects the most serviceable
road marker that has ever been de-
| vtsed.
! More than 100000 Of these signs
mark the roads in twenty-five states.
and cover three main trans-conti-
| mental routes They have been erected
at cost Of over IS each and have I'M
questionably done much to stimulate
| the good roads movement, develop
American touring and add to the

Another great stimulus to touring
has been tho publication Of Route

The Week-E nd Tour

with apologies to Saxe)
Leaving busy cities
And their cares behind.
Passing quiet pastures,
Finding peace Of mind:
Spinning down the highways,
Everything secure;
Bless me. but it's pleasant
Starting on tour.
Stopping at the village
For hasty bite:
Landlords pretty daughter
Adds a new delight:
Eyes that flash and sparkle
With a mystic lure
Oh. it's mighty pleasant
Out upon a tour!
Drowsy little hamlets.
Valleys cool and deep;
In the distance hillsides
Flecked with grazing sheep:
Streams that wind and tinkle.
Clear and cool and pure;
Worries all forgotten
On the weekend tour.
Finding many wonders
All unguessed before.
Every turn and vista
Adding sonnet thing more:
Aches and Ills all banished
BY sudden cure;
All the world looks better
When you're on q tour.
Stronger when it's ended,
Better, wiser, too;
Back to work with vfgor
Plentiful and new,
And the landlords daughter
With her eyes that lure
Filling one with longings
For another tour.

Secretary of the treasury McAdoo critcizes the statement of
Judge Gray, of the United States Steel Company, that after the
war contending nations will produce as much as possible and sell
at as low a price as necessary in our markets, unless we are pro-
tected. Just at present the American people have more confidence
in the Judgment of experienced business men than they have in
the political opinions of a man who still has his record to make.
Moreover, the American voters are getting tired at an Admins
tration that seeks the cooperation of successful business men and
then persistently rejects the advice those business men give.
Lest we forget, let it be again remarked that President Wilson
notified all the rival factions in Mexico that unless they got to-
gether and set up a stable government, the United States must
intervene. All the leaders agreed to a plan of that sort except
Carranza, who bluntly told President Wilson to mnid his own bust
ness: Carranza set up a de facto government and Wilson gave it
official recognition, since which time the United States has had no
cooperation from Carranza, who is still telling President Wilson
to mind his own business. We couldn't have had worse treatment
from Huerta, whom the Wilson Administration refused to recog-
nize, though he had been recognized by other governments.

BOOTH AS HAMLET.

His Stage Business Was Used by Both
Fechter and Mounet- Suliy.
Like all men before the public, Ed
win Booth was frequently the victim
of malicious %detraction. He was &C.
cused of initiating other actors, at first
his father, then the tragedian Fechter
and others.
Fechter was at that time very popu-
lar in England and in this country. He
once called on the younger actor and
said with brutal frankness, 81 hear
them say you initiate my business, and
1 am going to watch you like a hawk"
1t must have been rather trying to
play to this rival glazing conspicuously
from a stage box, but at the conclu-
sion of the performance Fechter came
back to say that the charge was quite
unfounded.
Shortly after this experience Booth
took a night of and went to see Fech-
ter, and he was %astonished to see the
German actor following the ghost in
Hamlet" with the handle of his sword
uplifted as q cross. Booth remarked
dz9H t1at Vscat8 ia evidently ap-
peevsd that part - boaa,ess and
had adopted It. Shortly after this the
critic of a New York paper made the
interesting discovery that Booth had
purloined this bit of business from the
foreign actor.
Booth smiled at the extravagant
praise bestowed upon Mounet-Sully for
his wonderful business in Hamlet" in
swearing by the shadow of the cross
made on the stage by his sword.
Booths comment was that he had done
that years before M0unet-Sully ever
played the part Of Hamlet. Both pieces
of business were the results Of acct
dents. On one occasion his sword stuck
into the stage 81 that he could not pull
it out, and he noticed the shadow cast
by it and realized it's significance as he
pointed to it. On another night. as he
was struggling with Marcellus and Ho-
ratio-"Unhand me, gentlemen, or, by
heaven, I'll make a ghost of him that
lets me"-he lost his hold on the sword;
it flew up into the air, and as he caught
it he noticed that the hilt made the
sign of the cross; he caught the elo-
quence of its meaning, and it became a
permanent part of his performance

How Coal Was Named.

The name of coal was first applied
only to fuel made Of charred wood, or
what we call charcoal. When the use
Of mineral coal began it was called
sea coal, because at first only found
along the seashore along with seaweed
and other wreckage cast up by the
waves and thus supposed to be of ma
rine origin. From its resemblance in
color and burning qualities to char
coal it finally received the simple name
Of coal.
