l was in q cleaning up detail the
other day. We had just finished
our job and happened to be near the
depot when the train came in. Then
began an odd procession. The first
thing I heard was something which
sOundede like a baby crying as II
it's heart was broken. l thought it
was a baby nutil it got right up to
us when I discovered 1t was a kid
in a baby carriage. A long line of
Nthem followed but they weren't all
fortunate enough to have a carriage
to ride in. Numbers Of them had
their legs tied together and were
uncerimoniously carried along with
their noses dragging on the ground.
Every now and then a couple Of old
ladies'. both with kids, would stop to
gossip for five minutes, and never
think to lay them down; and all the
time the poor little kids would be
crying at the top Of their voices.
These kids are Of the mich goat
variety. and they raise quite a few
OF them here. They are all sorts Of
colors and quite pretty when young.
The farmers also bring in hundreds
of rabbits. little chickens. ducks,
pigs, geese, calves. vegetables and
everything you can imagine. All
congregate in the town plaza and
spend the day buying and selling

are donkeys of the same size and
they seem to be always hitched to a
great high wheeled cart. as big as
the hind wheels of a lumber wagon,

be very scarce in France and you
hitched to anything. | think the
roads account for this for there are
fine stone roads everywhere. They

II think we show the least
amount Of intelligence in the con
struction ind administration Of our
roads than we do in anything else"
said General Moody. zone trip over
the highways I have been on the
past few weeks would convince any
one of that fact. Instead Of con-
filming our road construction to q
main artery road we scatter our
construction effectiveness by build
ing q section Of highway that be-
gins nowhere and ends nowhere.
The result IL that we do not have
continuous good highways when we
might Just as we'll have them as
not.
II am firmly convinced that our
highway district system Of build
ing roads does not give the results
we should have for 70 large IN ex-
penditure Of money. Much of the
work is done In the hot. dry wealth
er and I have seen the gravel sur
facing Of the roads at that time,
when 1t should be done in damp
weather. Gravel will not set prop
erly on a highway in hot weather.
Many Of the roads could be kept in
much better shape II a King drag

GOOD AND BAD ROADS.
There are some wonderfully fine
constructed highways In southern
and eastern Idaho, and some roads
that are about the worst to be
found any where. The highway from
Boise to Mountain Home Is certain
ly fine. The most beautiful drive
l have been over anywhere is from
Owsley's Ferry to Hagerman. / do
not believe this scenic route can be
surpassed. The highway from Black
foot to Pocatello is also worthy of
praise. There are also many other
good stretches of roads in that Sec
tiOn Of the state.
Some IF the very bad stretches
Of road are from Arco to Blackfoot,
from Pocatello to American Falls,
from Hagerman to Glens Ferry, from
Picabo 60 Carey and from Carey to
A,ce. The latter stretch is. l be-
lieve, positively the worst stretch
of oad in the world. All of these
bad stretches could be improved by
little expense and labor and they

Speaking of crop conditions. Gen
eral Moody said that they We're ex-

the irrigated but the dry farm sec

greatly the latter.

REINFORCED CONCRETE
SHIP PROVES SUCCESS

A Pacific Port,.-So successful
was the launching here to-day of the
worlds largest reinforced concrete
ship that her builders announced they
Immediately would begin construction
of "a similar ships of larger size and
expect that all would be completed
within / 8 months.
Six weeks from the day the con-
crete was poured into the forms, the
7,9OO-ton ship, christened Faith,
took the water. Not hitch married
the operation and engineers declared
themselves so satisfied with the
launching that it would be unneces-
sary, in their opinion, to give the
Faith a trans-PaciGc towing tryout,
as intended.
Engines will be installed at once
and the Faith put into commission as
rapidly as she can be fitted out, it
was announced.
Experts who witnessed the launch
ing predicted that concrete construc-
ton would mark new era in ship
building and that the speed with
which such ships could be turned out
undoubtedly would have an impor-
tant bearing on the allies successful
prosecution OF the war.
Untility rather than grace is ex-
pressed in the concrete ships lines.
She looks as if she might have been
carved out of rock, so massive is he1
build.
The launching was from a broad
meadow, with none of the usual ap-
purtenances of commerce except a
spur track and a couple of construc-
ton sheds. 1t is the contention of
the builders that concrete vessels can
be built with no greater preparation
wherever land and water meet, and
that material always is at hand or
nearby. This obviates the necessity
for costly yards required to handle
wooden and steel ships, and long
hauls of material.
Engineers for the company also
said that reinforced concrete had,
contrary to popular impression, not
able fiexibility under strain and
would, therefore, be able to stand the
stress of sea duty. The reinforcing
is expected to prevent possibility of
a hole in the side from collision or
other sources except dynamite. The
worst that could happen, it was de-
clared, would be crack.

PARISIANS KILLED
ATTENDING Church
Shell From Huns Big Gun
Crushes Into Good FRI
day Services.

Paris. March %. - seventy-nve
persons were killed and ninety
wounded, most of them women and
children. when a shell fire by a Ger
man long range gun fell on a church
in the region of Paris while Coco
Friday services were being held, &C
cordmg to an Official communication
issued this evening.
Among those killed was II. Stroeh-
lin. counselor OF the Swiss legation in
Paris.
The same church was struck by a
she'll during the celebration of high
mass last Sunday, and many causual-
ties resulted.
The killing of the women and chill
dren who were praying in the church
this afternoon has caused feeling of
horror and intense indignation in
Paris. The German explosive missile
fell amid an assemblage of peace
loving people, who were beseeching
heaven to send an enduring peace on
the day they were commemorative
the greatest sacrifice ever offered that
peace should reign on earth.
Feeling runs high in Paris tonight,
II is no peace crowd that walks the
streets or songregates in the cafes
theaters and churches. The stern
resolution to conduct the war to a
successful termination is written on
, the face of everyone.
The American Red Cross once more
distinguished itself in rescuing injur-
ed persons from the edifice.

Where violations are reported the
Administrator were instructed TO
hold open hearings to the public and
the press 50 that persons failing to
cooperate in the nations hour of
emergency may be known to their
fellow-citizens.
Punitive measures, the nature of
which will be determined by consula-
tino with authorities in Washington,
must be imposed by the state Admin
istrators Immediately on proof of vio-
lation of the regulations.
Wheatless meals and days are OPP
tional in private homes, but Admin
istration officials expect a whole
hearted response to the plea for cut
ting wheat consumption to one and
one-half pounds per person per week.
The method Of curtailment is imma-
terial, provided consumption here is
diminished sufficiently to allow the
hipment to the fighting forces abroad
of the bare amounts needed to tide
them over until the harvest. If re-
duction can be obtained without en-
tirely giving up wheat at any meal,
the Food Administration will consid-
er that its programme is being fol-
lowed. Hope is expressed, however,
that even greater reduction than that
requested will be effected If possible,
especially among the well-to-do, who
have large variety of nourishing
foods, and among the rural popula-
ton, who are acquainted with many
wheat substitutes not available to
the dweller in an industrial commu-
nifty.

The youth did so.
Can you hear this?" asked the

"Can you hear me now?" This was

No response.
Now put your hand over your left

voice.
The order was promptly obeyed;

meekly submitted to the rest of the

insisted he was deaf and who evaded

which the demure miss flashed at him
