Your argument about breeding our
white women as a farmer does his

if such a condition ever came about,
but it won't.
You are wrong, Steven, and you

SocIABILITY.-Yes-

SOCIABILITY.-Yes-a so on,
was the answer. We can be sociabIe.
It does not take any capital what
ever. All that is necessary is COM
mon sense applied, and when this is
reciprOcated everything goes along
in its natural order.
It is not society that teaches US to
be sOciable. It is the individual him
self and his associates. Organizations
seem to fail to recognize that by Civ
ing parties, balls and social affairs
they are not creating sOciability, but
merely business. Therefore it is easy
to perceive that society is business.
Where business cOllides with So
ciety, there is little chance for society
to predominant. After all, how can
we be sOciabIe if we must pay for it,

Do you know, little mother, you
were one that was permitted to re-
turn to Gods fold. Your story tells
US you have returned, and would to
God more of our unfortunate girls
had the wisdom to tell US and seek
peace of mind in our counsel We
know that is all you need.
Do you suppose the 100000 au-
thOrs who are returning from Siberia
to their friends and loved ones have
gone in vain? I say authors, for eV-
cry one will give his testimony in
some shape or other, and say their
going was not in vain, because his
tory has proved it was not in the
overthrow of the car. Their going
stimulated those remaining to great
er efforts, and these stimulated eff
forts have now blOOmed to glorious
fruit.
Your story of going and return
ing is going to make many a man
think: My God, what if that was my
daughter or sister! The man that
has allowed that thought to pene-
trate his mind is a better man; he has
strengthened himself. Your story
may and possibly has caused many a
tempted girl to hearken more closely
to that still small voice of rectitude
and thus saved herself from a similar
fate.-AIl Together.

TO YOUNG MOTHER. - It has
been several weeks since the letter
from a Young Mother appeared in
your most excellent Day Book. The
letter was like the cry of a, lost soul
going into eternity, and it still
haUnts me.
The pity of it is that the poor suf-
fereT is not able to grasp the thought
that the law she disobeyed was mans
law, and the law she obeyed was the
law Of God. Misguided it might be
through too much trust in man. God
in his great wisdom and goodness
will judge her kindly, and men and
women Of sound vision will pay her
homage. She should take a new hold
on God and do the very best she can,
but, above all, forget the past. 1t
cannot be undOne, and the forgetting
of the past will give her additional
strength for the future.
We all read in the papers a few
days since the greatest news item in
25 years. Down in many a heart
thankful prayer went up when it was
read. You ask what it was? Oh,
surely you did not read it without
recognizing it as the greatest sensa7
ton Of the century. One hundred
thousand pitifuI specimens of hu-
manity marching back from exile in
the mines Of Siberia to civilization,
men who served sentences almost
their entire life, for much lesser sins
than the young mother. This 10O,-
600 are only a handful of those who
have gone, never to return.

THE ROAD BUILDING SITUA.
TION.

During 1916 the cost OF building
some classes of roads was very high
in many parts of the country and
there are evidences that this condi-
ton will continue through at least
the first half Of 1917. 1t was fore
seen by many experienced contract
ors. whose bids were so high that in
some states, such as New York, 1t
was not unusual for every bid re-
ceiyed on state road work to exceed
the engineers estimates. Contract
ors have not attempted to conceal
the fact that on soma work their
books show q loss, occa; tonallv quite
heavy, which was due as a rule to
the unprecedented scarcity and high
price of labor. Inasmuch as many
highway commissions will shortly
undertake work it will be well for
them to remember in preparing their
plans that the old basis on which
costs were estimated is no longer ap-
plicable in many sections of the
country; old estimates Of rOadbuild-
ing should be revised and new esti-
mates should be based on the condi-
ton of the labor market as it is to-
day.

ing to do. On the other tand, those
advocating the use of certain types
Of pavement aften base their state
ments of the cost of maintaining
these types on the expense incurred
on the pavements themselves, re-
gardless of the shoulders, bitches
and roadsides. This is perfectly le-
Ultimate and if public officials re-
ported their maintenance costs in
The same way to greater extent the
nrt Of road building would be bene-
fitted. Another source of misunder-
standing regarding the expenses of
road maintenance lies in the fact
that the traffic on some roads has
increased to an amount for which
the pavement is unsuited. For one
reason or another a more suita BILE
type of pavement has not been laid
and consequently the cost of keeping
the inadequate type in fair condi-

ton is very high. 1t is plainly mis-
leading to give the cost of maintain
ing this pavement subjected to ex-
cessive traffic as fair average OF
the cost of maintenance of a SINH
lar pavement under the traffic for
wiaich it is satisfactory. There is no
exact agreement among engineers as
to the amount of traffic for which
avements of different types are
economically suited, but an indica-
ton Of the range is given by the
following limits tentatively adopted
by the State Highway Department of
Michigan: 9-foot gravel roads, up
to 200 vehicles daily; 16-foot gravel
and macadam roads, 200 to 500 We
hicles; 16-foot macadam roads with
bituminous surfacing, 500 to 1000
vehicles; 16-foot concrete roads, 500
to 1000 vehicles daily.

misunderstanding lies in the differ
ent points of view regarding road
maintenance costs which are held by
some road officials and the advo-
Gates of special forms of surfacing.
The road official usually considers
only the maintenance charge against

WIDE TIRES IN MISSOURI.

Wide tires are not popular with
many uf Ehe citizens Of Missouri. yet
the needs of them is so evident to
the officials who have to keep the
roads in condition that gentle means
of bringing about their introduction
are being sought. In some other
states the owner of a wagon having
wide tires is rewarded in some other
way as by rebate in taxes. This
method Of encouraging their use has
been developed in a novel way in a
proposal made by Col. Frank w.
Buffum, state highway commission
er. He suggests giving a rebate OF.
50 per wheel in 1917 for each wheel
having a wide tire, $1.75 in 1918.
and 25 cents less annually until 1t
is 81 in 1921, and for five years
afterward; he advocates making
wide tires compulsory during subse-
quent years. He has developed a
system Of reports and checks for
putting such regulations into effect
without giving an opportunity for
fraud, and of allowing the owner OF
a wide-tire4 Wagon to present Ger
tificate Of such ownership as part
payment Of his taxes.
