Wild Oats In Highway Building

Notwithstanding the well-known
proverb. 1T is sometimes wise to look
gift horse In the mouth.
For instance, q county may be Of
Tered free the material with which to

looks like a good proposition-one on
which community could not lose. But
there is another side to the story.
The gift of material is of course only
the entering wedge. The expectation
Is that having started with the kind of
material that is given away for dem

Furthermore. in some substantially

producer to get his particular kind of
road material accepted to start with
even if he has to give it away in the
first instance.

Divorces In Ancient Roma.

In the earlier period of the Roman
republic divorces were quite unknown
and were rare right up TO the time OF
the SULTAN wars. In the old days the
husband and wife who wished to sep
arate appeared for the last time before
the common hearth, priest and priest
ess being present. AS on the day OF
marriage, cake of wheaton -four was
presented TO the husband and wife,
but instead OF sharing 1t between them
they rejected it. Then instead Of
prayers they pronounced formulas of =
strange, severe. spiteful character. by
which the wife renounced the worship
and gods OF the husband From that
moment the religious bond was broken,
and, the community of worship hav-
ing ceased to exist. the marriage with
out further ado was forever dissolved.
