Cantonment Road BUILDING.

A record breaking piece of road
building recently was completed in
connection with the army cantOnment
at Louisville, says an exchange, which
continues:
This is one Of the few military es-
Establishments that have built perma-
nent roads. In 63 working days the
contractor completed 63.360 square
yards of Trinidad asphaltic concrete
highway laid on concrete base. or
about six miles of road IS feet wide
mile of the road was over four
foot fill. and Immediately upon its
completion traffic count showed that
1000 vehicles passed over it within
the first hour. Most of these vehicles
were motor trucks and wagons carry
ing loads from one to five tons. The
record Is all the more remark
able in view of the fact that it was
necessary to haul and crush all the
stone used in the work"

SLANG TOO MUCH FOR SPIES
American Ambulance Driver Succeeds
In Passing Along Some Informa-
tion to Friend.

At a gathering of Princeton grad
yates and undergraduates In New
York one of the snappiest little stO-
ries Of the war was related by a
Princeton graduate just returned from
ambulance service in France. 1t had
to do with the difficulty in Outwitting
German espionage in Belgium, and how
1t was managed through the medium Of
unrecOgnlzed language.
Four months ago, the narrator said,
the system Of espionage had been about
seven stratas deep. Spies watched the
Belgians, spies in the ranks watcher
the German officers, spies watched the
spies who were watching anybody and
it became apparent that anyone who
might sneeze would be duly reported
in Berlin.
Just at this time one Princeton am
bulance driver heard from what
seemed to be reliable source that a
German had attempted the life of Pres
ident Wilson in Washington. 1t was
but a rumor, and he did not mention
1t to anyone or have any desire to dis
cuss it until he happened to encounter
another Princeton man whom he had
long known. When they met the driv-
er who had heard the rumOr looked
about and saw that ears aplenty were
set for their conversation. He talked
casually with his friend and wondered
as he talked what language he might
use to impart his information.
He knew little of the italian tongue
and thought Of using that. But as he
glanced about him there seemed face
for every language. To head his friend
off to secluded place would excite
suspicion and so he finally decided to
tell him the news In American slang
He spoke as follows:
Don't let the glittering delicatessen
fall for this noise. I'm ftching to ease
you some dope and don't care to be
beaned or tipped into the Hoosgow fol
chirping it. When it's across can the
return chatter and remain a dumb
Isaac l have been hepped thai up
stairs over Dixie pretzel birdie has
tried to Czolgocz the former papa 'Oi
Old Nassau"
For a moment his friend looked al
him with knit brows and then, even al
the spies stood with ears out at acute
angles, the listener answered:
I'm right in your pocket, Sleeve"

Wearing Of Wool,

Some years ago a book was pub
llshed to prove that If you wore moth
ing but wool, even down to your boot
laces, almost all the ills to which flesh
is heir would disappear, and that peo-
pie who were inclined to embonpoint
would grow quite slim and become
active enough to jump a flve-barred
gate. The fad had good deal of sue
cess, and nobody denies it certain
amount Of reason and truth; but the
millennium will not be inaugurated by
the wearing of blankets, and the dog
days still call loudly for something
thin in the way Of raiment.-Ex-
change.

Joy, the "RIu Medicine"

Happiness lengthens, broadens and
deepens life. And, like the quality Of
mercy, to be permanent and natural
1t should not be strained, but should
flow freely, first as the result Of good
digestion that attends on appetite, and
next because 1t makes the persistent
will to be glad automatic. OF all the
"big medicine" that has ever been
.brewed in the alemblc Of science there
Is nothing so big. 80 certain, so COM
plete and 80 satisfying as ioy.-Ex-

hope OF the world. We must stand to
gether night and day.
But while We are fighting for free
dom, we must see that labor is free.
And that means a number Of things.
We must see that the conditions Of la
bor are rendered not more Onerous
during war but see that the instru-
ments through which labor conditions
are improved must not be checked"
Praises oompers.
The pressdent eulOgized President
GOmperS
81 like to place my mind along side
mind that knows how to pull in har-
ness" ne said.
"The horses that kick over the
traces will have to be put In a cor
ral."
He continued: ITO stand together
means nobody must interrupt the
progress of our energy; interruption
cnn he avoided without invasion Of
freedom.
Nobody has the right to stop pro-
cess of labor until all processes Of
council have been stopped.
81 might as well say right here that
I am not talking to you alone. You
do sometimes stop the forces Of labor,
but there are others who do the same,
you are more reasonable in larg-
er number of cases than capitalists. l
haven't said these things to them per
sonally, because l haven't had q
| chance.
Everybody has got to transact busi-
ness. I would like TO see all of the
critics exported. A settlement is hard
to avoid when parties are brought face
to face.
1--WE must insist in every instance
the parties must come into each 9TH
er's presence.
my counsel to you is this:
LET us show ourselves Americans
by not going Off into separate camps,
but by cooperating in releasing the
world from bondage. We are all Of
the same clay and spirit, and we can
get together II we want to.
81 would be willing to set that up
as n final test of an American. have
been very much distressed by the mob
spirit that displays itself here and
there in the country.
LawIessness UnJustiHed.
II have no sympathy with men who
take punishment into their own hands,
l want to utter my earnest protest
against lawlessness in any cause or
anywhere. Democracy means first OF
all we can govern ourselves.
"The man who takes the law into
his own hands is not the right man to
