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-

contractor completed 63,360 square
yards of Trinidad asphaltic concrete
highway laid on concrete base, or
about six miles of road IS feet wide.
A 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 of from one to five tons. The
record . is all the more remarkable
in view of the fact that it was neces-
sary to haul and crush all the stone

The Thanksgiving Spirit.

Every normal person enjoys Il good
Thanksgiving dinner yet there Is not
half so much pleasure I'm the menu as
there is in the spirit In which the din
ner is served and the happiness and
thanksgiving spirit of the guests.
1t means 50 much TO live the sacred
ness of this day Thanksgiving day
is worth nothing TO the person who
does not spend II with a heart of
thankfulness and partake of his noon
day meal with cheerfulness and praise
to both the glver of all gifts and the
housewife who has so ably prepared
and served the meal. 1t is true we
cannot all have n gorgeous feast on
this day, and many of us would not
wish such meal. But we all can have
n few of the extras intended for
Thanksgiving day and make 1t one to
please the children and our guests.

on the platter. piping hot, the rosy
faced children screamed with delight
and said
"'Oh, isn't ne a beauty! The two
boys ate as much as they could, so did
the two little girls with the blue eyes
and the soft brown hair. And so did
the mother and daddy. But even then
my father had not entirely vanished
and with one accord they said that
they had never had such Thanksgiv-
ing dinner"
The turkeys as well as the other
creatures In the barnyard had gath
cred around to listen. You are so

The other barnyard animals hung
their heads. They knew of whom she
spoke, and they were suddenly much
quieter, clucking, quacking, grunting
and squealing In low voices.
Mr.. Gobble. cousin of Mr.. Gobbler,
had begun To speak: Your father
was very fortunate In being the one

great treat he was. But listen TO my

drew nearer. "Gobble, gobble COB

call of Turkey-land, my father served
a far better purpose.
The farmer knew of family in
the city, far from here, where there
are no barnyardS and where there are
streets and houses everywhere, instead
of hayfields and meadows and woods.
The daddy of the family had once been
II school friend of the farmer, but he
had gone to the city to live, and he
had had very hard time. He, too,
had four children, but their faces were

old Dan, the dog get the bones from
my father-such bones as he had new
er before tasted. Even Dan knew the
meaning of the day"
1--WE were both right" said Mr.. Cob
bier. my farmers children were
thankful because they knew they new
er had to long for food They always
had enough. They never needed to
long for fresh air and place for play
ing. And they did not wish for some
thing they did not have. So were the
family to whom your father went
thankful. They were happy they had
each other and they were delighted
to share your father and to have such
meal and treat. For them, too,
there was Thanksgiving turkey. And
they talked of better days Lhead.
YES" said Mr.. Gobbler proudly,
Thanksgiving day is we'll named-a
holiday Of giving thanks because we
are eaten. Our fathers were eaten In
both those homes-the poor and the
rich, and in both made happiness
equally great And so will we make
happiness In very few days"
But back of Thanksgiving day, back
of the iden that eating turkey Is the
great and important event of the day,
there is something else.
In 1921 the Plymouth colony In New
England set aside one day of thankful
ness-thankfulness for what they had !;
not for what they thought they should
have. They had known hard days Of
self-denial and struggle. Yet they
were thankful, for in new land they
saw great things ahead, and 1t Is our
duty to see that their hopes were not
In vain.
Thanksgiving day-the day to give
thanks. But are we TO be thankful on
one day only, and then return to three
hundred and siXty-four days of grumb-
ling and of regret for what we don't
possess? No! Let us have one day as
simply the first day or many, many
others in which we are thankful for

In colonial days it was customary
OF player or Thanksgiving, when pub
lie events seemed to warrant this rec
ognition.
In 1889 Washington ordered day
of thanksgiving for the adoption Of
the federal constitution. Subsequently
various days In November were recon-
mended by presidents and governors
until, 1863, the regular observance Of
IL national Thanksgiving day was in
stituted through proclamation of
President Lincoln.
The presidents proclamation does
not make it national holiday. II
applies legally only TO the District Of
Columbia and the territories. 1t Is
the governors proclamadons that af-
feet the states. The day is observed
in all states, but in some 1t is not n
statutory holiday.
Thursday was originally selected by
the Puritans probably because, being
near the middle of the week, II gave
opportunity for the scattered members
Of the family to come together and to
return without desecrating the Sabbath
by travel.
November was selected as the month
when the fall harvests were all gath
cred. Other countries have Thanks
giving days for special occasions, such
az success In battle or the deliverance
of the people from national calamity,
hut the fixed annual Thanksgiving day
is custom belonging to America

Centralized unified control Of the

burning question of last week, and
Premier Lloyd-George became the
storm center Of discussion. Following
the establishment OF the inter-allied
war council by the British French and
Italian governments and English par.

Of Mr.. Lloyd-GeOrge, then in Paris,
delivered what he himself called a
"brutally frank speech admitting that
the allies had repeatedly made 'incred-
ible plumbers" in Serbia, Roumania,
Italy and elsewhere. These he at
tributed in the main to lack of united
action, and declared that while the
war has been prolonged by particular
ism II will be shortened by solidarity.
This aroused n storm of adverse
comment and brought the premier face

crisis that has confronted him. Even
Mr. Asquith Joined his critics, and
Lloyd George hastened home to reply
10 them. The opposition assumed the
