ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
Small Girls Efforts to "Fudge" on Un-
fortunate Remark Could Not Be
Called Successful.

number of women were discussing
Liberty bonds one afternoon in neigh
boris house. Almost unnOticed little
neighbor girl had entered. At this
point in the discussion she exclaimed !:
"Well, my aunt says she might just
as well buy Liberty bond as to be
taxed"
Her remark caused a good bit OF
comment. One guest. who has son IN
the service, became very indignant,
and exclaimed:
THE idea! Buying a bond to es-
cane taxation. That's patriotism for
YOU! That makes me tired-anybOdy
as able as she is to buy bonds. or any
thing"
With that last remark the speaker
slew" out of the house.
The little girl. beholding the strife
and bad feeling she had stirred up.

plaining that it wasn't her aunt who
made the remark. but some other wom-

her s.st remark, and were making 1t

she finally burst out with:
well, you don't know how much 1t
costs my aunt to live; and how much
its costs her to take that trip to Nj
agara Falls!"
The laugh with which the women
greeted this innocent remark was suf-
ficient to send the loyal and innocent
girl running from the room. Truly. her

There was considerable hesitation on

They will also. in contact with the
railroad administration, aid in secur-
ing, so far as practicable, facilities for
the transportation Of road materials

of public roads and rural engineering
will act as the medium for furnishing
information and assistance on highway
problems, especially to state highway
authorities in meeting the various diff
ficulties which they encounter.
When the United States entered the
war the work Of planning state high
way systems, so that, as far as neces-
sary and feasible, they would connect
with the systems of other states, was
we'll under way. This resulted from
efforts to administer the federal aid
road act. so that the roads Of vital i'm

other purposes should first be dealt
with. The federal aid road actin

ture, directly and from state and local

least $2OO,OOO,OOO spent independently

the states must maintain the roads
and that before any money can be ex-
pended the roads must be selected and
approved and plans, specifications and
contracts submitted.
The secretary also calls attention to
the fact that road engineers have been
provided by the department for each

Governmental agencies dealing with
highway problems fully recognize the
vital military and economic importance
of the country's roads, according to
letter from Secretary Of Agriculture
Houston to Arthur H. Fleming. chief Of
the state councils section, council of
national defense.
The secretary. whose department ad-
ministers the federal aid road act,
stated also that the government recog-
nizes that 1t Is necessary to construct,
reconstruct or maintain roads essen
tial for military and vital economic
purposes and to defer action on roads
not of this class; and that 1t is desir-
able, wherever possible. to use local
materials for road building and main
tenance in order to relieve railroad
traffic.
Important highways, as described in
the secretary's letter, include only
those utilized, or to be utilized. by the
military establishment, those which
carry considerable volume of mate
rails and supplies essential to war In
dustries, and those which have bear
ing on the production and distribution
Of food supplies. connecting popula-
tion and shipping centers with sur
rounding agricultural areas.
Attention is called to the formation
of the United States highways council.
This body was suggested by the secre-
tary to coordinate federal agencies in
terested in highway problems. The
council Is made up of representative
each from the department of agricul-
ture, the war department, the railroad
administration. the fuel administration
and the war Industries boards. 1t will
form a unified agency for dealing, on
behalf of the federal government, with
highway construction, maintenance and

stamp. something like an elaborate

how to get over that difficulty.
Fortunately. however, Huyiger had
half of Il rubber stamp which had evil

mans, and he planned to construct the
other half out of the cork from wine
bottle. He was very skillful with Il
penknife, and although he spOlll a
score or more OF corks before he sue

result he was after, the finished article

expectations. Indeed. after we had
pared II over here and there, and re-
moved whatever imperfections our re-
peated test disclosed, we had Il stamp
which made an impression so closely
resembling the original that without a

that 1t was a counterfeit.
