Further there were the military

legitimate naval spy and finally was
very properly shot. He was captur-

Among other fOolshnesses he kept
his code In his pocket and therefore
knew at the moment he was arrested
that he was a dead man. One Of the
things that led to his detection was
the cable censorship.

THE CHILD AS A JUDGE

One reason why advice frequently
doesn't have a better effect is that
those who are most liberal in giving
it are the most negligent about fol-
lowing it.
Before you can expect any atten-
tion to be paid to what you say, you
must set an example which proves
that you are taking your own medi-
cine. This applies particularly when
dealing with children.
More than likely they think that
because you are older you should be
more careful than they must be.
When you become a parent you
took up an important duty.
If you are unwilling to meet all re-
quirements, you should not be re-
sponsible for the existence of chill
dren.
The children have right to expect
in you all that is good and worthy of
being followed, and when you do
something which you have forbidden
them to do you are failing in your
duty.
There Is no more unbiased and just

FIRST TO BUILD GOOD ROADS
McAdsm, by His Invention and Work,
Did Much to Advance the Pros
perity of England.

The inventor of macadamized roads
was John Loudon McAdam and few
inventors ever gave their name more
currency than he did by his good roads
invention. lie was born In Scotland In
1856 and came pretty near becoming
an American, for he came to New
York in ITO and remained there In
the employ Of an uncle 10 years. Re
turning to England in 1888 he took up
the study of road-making and from
that time on 1t was his life work. He
was the father Of good roads In Eng
land. Macaulay, in his history of
England, has a chapter on the bad
roads of that period in which he says,
"On the best lines of communication
the rutS were deep, the descents were
precipitous and the way often such as
it was hardly possible to distinguish.
It happened almost every day, that
coaches stuck fast, until team of cat
tie could be procured from some neigh
boring farm to tug them out of the
slough" McAdam's views In regard
TO road-making, especially in regard to
the use of broken stone, were finally
adopted by the authorities and in 1927
he was appointed surveyor general Of
roads In Great Britain. Parliament
voted him $4,000 for his services and
offered him knighthood and title, but
he declined them. He died in 1896 in
his eighty-frst year. A biographer
says: "McAdam's efforts largely con
tributed to produce that network Of
mail coach communication In England
which, for some years before railways
were introduced, greatly advanced the
nations prosperity and prepared the
way for the railway system" His sys-
TEN was adopted in the construction Of
the old national road In this country.

NAMES HIS PET AVERSl0NS
Physician Pretty Well Covers Every
thing in Making the Following
Fervent Prayer.

Doctors, It appears, do sometimes re-
sort to prayer according to the Medi-
cal Times. But since such communica-
tons are usually strictly confidential
In character they are seldom recorded
there below, at least) although they
undoubtedly express the innermost
yearnings Of the supplicant's soul. A
certain Doctor jacobson has recently,
and openly, prayed to be delivered
from the following things:
Health insurance.; from deadbeats;
from the neurasthenic who keeps a
diary; from the birth-control crank
and other professional sociologists;
from the writer's Of unneeded text
books; from drug fiends; from the
young married woman who is not
strong enough to bear a child; from
obese pigs who won't diet as direct
ed; and from night calls. Also, from
fool legislation: from food cranks who
tell us how to live for ten days on
s11O: from socialistic health boards ;
from half-baked specialists; from New
Thoughtists; from seekers after false
certificates Of Illness; from moribund
journals, third-rate journals, and freak
sex Journals.
