ku%IE bill before congress to Gre
IN ate the Mount Desert National
park upon Mount Desert Is
land, Maine, has called spe-
cial attention TO one of the most dis
tinguished scenic places in the coun-
try. Already it Is national reserva-
ton, President Wilson having pro-
claimed it the Sieur de MOnts National
monument two years ago. The move
ment to promote it to national park
hood marks the appreciation of New
England and the country generally re-
sultlng from the public attention de-
voted to this spot in consequence of
the presidents act.
Sieur de Monts is the only spot on
the Atlantic coast where sea and noun
tain meet. Also it is typical in the
best sense of the magnificence of the
deciduous forests of the East; these
are not elsewhere represented in the
national scenic group. Mount Des-
ert will be the only national park
east of the Mississippi.
Many thousands of persons who do
not identify this splendid group Of sea-
girt mountains under its present title
of Sieur de Monts will place 1t at
once under the title proposed for the
national park, as the granite heights
which rise behind Bar HarbOr and the
other resorts of Mount Desert Island
The rounded SUBMITS of more than a
dozen low mountains and the beautiful
lakes which nestle at their feet are
inclosed in the reservation. Nowhere
else may the pleasures Of seashore and
rock-bound coast be combined with
those of a wild mountainous wilder.

significant sum to u total well over
quarter of billion dollars.
To date probably not more than
1919 per cent of the country's road
mileage has been surfaced. Consider
ed merely as percentage, this
showing is not encouraging, but when
1t is remembered that this one-eighth
means an actual mileage of something
over 100000, the magnitude of the
work accomplished is better appre-
ciated.
Another fact that must be taken In
TO consideration is that large ma
jority of the traffic of the country Is
carried on small proportion of the
total mileage and the greater part of
the work of improvement has been
done on these more important high
ways.
Some of the money spent for road
betterment has been wasted. Some
of it has been used for permanent
work, the amount involved represent
ing an investment that cannot be
lost. A very large proportion Of the
total expenditure has been used for
the construction of pavements and sur
faces of varying durability and of diff
ferent needs as to maintenance. The
money they represent is an investment
also, and one that can and will be lost
If the upkeep of the roads is neglected.
The country's roads are worth bill
lions of dollars, even If nothing more
than their first cost is taken into ac-
count. Their present value, in terms
of service rendered, is literally meal
culable, for without them every ac-
tivity would have to cease.
The successful prosecution Of the
war is the chief business of the
American people today. But that
doesn't mean that every American
should be fighting or working in
munition plant or on a farm. There
are countless other activities that are
contributory to the three obvious es-
sentials, and every one Of them in
turn is absolutely dependent upon
transportation.
The nations highway system Is the
foundation of its whole vast and COM
pllcated machinery of transportation.
The public highways are indispens-
able and they must be kept in con-
dition unless all the work we have
done is to avail us nothing and the
work yet before us is TO be left I'M
done. Money must be spent and labor
and materials must be used-now.

EIahtIna With Smoke.

Smoke is a valuable weapon in this
war; 1t is extensively used on both
sides to mask military and naval move
ments, and elaborate means have been
devoted to throw up clouds of smoke.
A very interesting use of smoke is de-
scribed thus in Scientific American :
During a poisonous gas attack smoke
is employed to ward off the fumes. Be
ing considerably heavier than the poi
sOnOus gases generally employed, a

Little Ernst, cropping around In the

that pretty well express his meaning.
In fact, he seems to have put across In
fairly effective shape the idea that the
Germans don't care much for the Eng

But If he hated before, what must
have been his fury at the reception his
outbreak got In England? Instead of
covering I'm fear, laugh went up from
the British isles that was heard round
the world. The Tommies In the

Poles rescue and they drove Off the
German patrol. but, unfortunately, a
German had carried off Polish cap
and this identified the unit on the
sector.

The bareheaded Pole, failing to find
his garment, became very angry and,
risking capture again, started alone
for the German line, but his COM
panions, by surrounding him and
holding his arms and legs, prevented
this journey and carried him back.
The Polish cap, incidentally, is of
horizon blue. like the French. high
in front. with a fiat top jutting
out in four corners. something like
an American commencement day cap
with a visor. The Polish eagle. EN-.

The Polish Legion is organized on
the French system, the division con-
tanning three regiments, total
strength of 10000 men, and their
equipment ana training Is French.
Gen. Heller is in command, having
taken charge on October 6. He is a
Pole Of Austrian birth. He received
command of division in the Rus
sian army, fighting valiantly on the
side Of the allies.
When Russia failed Gen. Heller
being a friend of the allies, knowing
that the future of Poland lay in
their hands. not in those of the boil
sheviks or the Germans, escaped from
Russia. found his way to Holland
and finally to France, where the
French gave him command of a
French division.
The Polish Legion received its pre-
liminary training in Canada in Camp
Borden and Camp Niagara, and came
to France from Montreal, one regi-
nent arriving six months ago. In
June this regiment was put into
action with the French near Rheims
and In an advance Of seven kilo-
meters it took 500 prisoners and gave
this earnest of Polish valor. For
three months it remained on this
active sector and when the two other
regiments arrived the division was
formed and served under French COM
mand. Two of the coloneis are Poles
and fought with Russia, and the third
a Pole who fought with France in
the Foreign Legion since the begin
ning OF the war. Ninety per cent Of
the junior officers are American Poles.

The reason the Germans and Aus

ors was because each had n family

pires. and not only would captured
Poles be executed but whenever their
names could be learned and confirmed
their families would be made to suf-

TENDLER GAINS
PUBLIC FAVOR
Philadelphia Freak Con-
tinues to Poke Top
Notchers Out.

Eight months ago the fistic world
knew little or nothing Of Lew Tend
Ter, Philadelphia lightweight, for the
very good reason that Lew was a
Philadelphia newsboy without a rep
utation in fistic circles.
Tender is a freak Of the ring. He
IS taller than the average lightweight
by several inches and ne has a
greater reach. But the freakiest thing
about him is the fact that he is a left
handed boxer.
There have been few good left
handed boxers in the history OF the
ring. The side OF Tender today is
perhaps Greek Brown, Of Chicago.
But Greek Brown is not clever. He
is merely stand up and take it and
pull EN- off the floor battler who
manages TO keep on making a living
in the ring because he is tough as
leather and always gives a boxing
crowd all the action there is in him
Has II All.
With Tender Il is different. This
frealty Philly lad is clever. a hard
puncher and a good ring general. He
has developed rapidly within eight
months and now has the esrmarlzs Of
finished lightweight who has
fought many battles and whose move
ments in the ring bespeak a thor
ough knowledge Of the game.
In eight months time, Tender has
cleared more than $4,000 and has
reached a position in which he viii
command thousands more. He IS be-
low the military age. being only 10.
In Philly the fans viii back Lew for
any amount, and they don't care who
his opponent may be. The better they
come the better Tenders chance TO
prove his class, is the way they look
at It.
