ROADS TO NATIONAL FORESTS
Millions Of Dollars In Federal Aid Are
to Be Spent for the Benefit
of Tourists.

The motoring public has forced rec
ignition from congress of the recrea-
tional value of the national forests,
states the San Francisco Bulletin. APP
preparations for the construction and
maintenance of roads within the ma
tional forests, totaling $19000,000 of
federal road funds, are now available.
OF this sum, according to information
obtained by the California State Auto
mobile association from Federal For
est Supervisor r. w. Ayres, approx
mately $2300,000 will be spent within
short time in providing additional
automobile roads for the tourist and
traveller leading to the 100000 acres
Of national forests in California.
For the last two years all road prof
ects which did not contribute directly
to winning the war We're dropped.
Now the road building program of the
forest service has been resumed and
by the appropriations recently passed
this program las been greatly en-
larged.

VERM!N OLD PEST OF ARMIES
Reference to Them Found In Writings
of the Romans, and in English
Literature.

The newspapers have had much to
say about the "delousing" of the re-
turning troops, Philip Hale writes in
the Boston Herald The word is not
a pretty one and 1t is not to be found
in the dictionaries, but the war has
brought with 1t many new words, some
Of which will disappear, some of which
will soon be regarded as orthodox and
of good and regular standing.
No soldier need be ashamed of nee
essary submission to the process. It
may console him to recall the case Of
Thomas Otway, an oxford man, the
author of "Venice Preserved" and
"The Orphan" As a cornet in regi-
ment Of horse, he Joined in 1878 the
army under Monmouth in Flanders
1t was reported that he came back
from Flanders "mangy and covered
with vermin." Rochester tainted him
with this in his Session of the Poets"
II should also be remembered that
when the troops were dSbanded and
recalled, the money voted by the com
mons for their payment was misap-
propriated. The soldiers were paid
only by debentures and the credit Of
these was so low that they were hard
ly salabe.
1t was observed in the sixteenth CEN
fury that 'lice cometh also of that
cloth that is trained in the wool with
the fat or grease of horse or Of a
swine, and therefore the northern
cloths worn of a sweating body do
breed lice in 10 hours" The "humor'
Of an individual had much to do with
the character of the pest. Lice gen
dered of sanguine humor were red and
great; of phlegmatic, white; Of choler-
ic, yellow, long swift and sharp; of
melanchOlic ashen colored, lean and
slow in moving. Anyone of these pests
"grieveth more in the skin with the
feet and with creeping, than he doth
with bitin. And the leaner
that a louise is, the sharper she biteth
and grieveth." There were many APP
proved remedies even in the elder
Pliny's time, thus: 1.-THE old skin or
slough that snakes do cast of in the
spring, whatsoever drinketh In his or
binary drink. it will kill all tie YER
min of the body within three days"

Story of a Dog.

Marathon races I'm the woods Will
never become universal for the reason
that speed and stamina like that of
Buell. Crannell's dog are not universal
in the four-footed hunters" says War
wick S. Carpenter, secretary of the
conservation commission. "Mr. Gran
nell lives at West Glens Falls, and
while hunting near there recently his
dog picked up a fox track. The dog
was picked up next day near Gran
berry lake, more than seventy miles
away.
Accounts do not state whether the
dog was still going strong or whether
he might have taken the fox back to
Mr.. Crannell but simply that identiti-
cation of the dog was made by the
conservation commission license tag
and that Mr.. Crannell went after the
dog.
THE moral of all this is that if one
owns a dog good enough 70 run fox
through two counties she should sure
ly be protected by an identification
disk."-New York Times.

Statutes.

Some clever Englishman, comment
ing on French politeness, once remark
ed that when a Frenchman bows two
thirds of the bow is to himself. That
may be true, and we have to admit
that even the other third is quite a
fraction more than most Anglo-Saxons
offer.
Saluting is the same proposition. A
snappy salute pulled by buck to the
most second of second lieutenants
draws heavy interest; and the colonel
who jerks his hand a few centimeters
from his still affixed cigar is only in
sulting himself and the army.
If some privates were little more
polite to themselves, the salutng trap
never would be sprung and the joke
would all be on the other side of the
military fence.-Stars and Stripes.

clothes, but l haven't found that it
pays at all"
AS Mrs. Stanton leaned forward to
answer, the other women Of the club
leaned back comfortably in their rock
ing chairs TO enjoy more fully this dis
cussiOn of clothes, the subject so dear
to every feminine heart.
"You and l surely have had differ
ent results, then. Everything l am
wearing today has been made over, or
at least changed in some way from
its original style, and | am sure this
suit and blouse are wearing as well as
any | might have bought this spring"
Mrs. Stanton answered.
"What makes the difference? Your
clothes look wonderfully well and those
which l have remodeled have that
rather fOrlorn, made-over look at first,
and show worn places and holes be-
fore I have worn them more than a
month or So"
Good Workmanship Counts.
"Perhaps 1t is because, while I buy
fewer clothes than you, l get better
material in the first place and always
take better care of them than you do.
You know you are always looking for
bargains and argue that buying cheap
things does away with the necessity
of brushing cleaning regularly, and
hanging up your clothes carefully, as l
do mine.
81 remember, when / bought this
suit, there was another one which |
liked almost as well for less money,
but since l realized the material in it
would look shabby by the end of one
years service, l decided on this one,
l wore this one quite steadily for two
years and then remade it this
spring. 1t can easily be worn another
year. In the meantime, have enjoyed
wearing the suit because l have al
ways felt well-dressed and comfortable

tion of good material and good work
