So the messenger told about Baldur's
dream and Woden's visit to the land
Of night and the plan to save Baldur.
Come! Promise !" said the messen-
ger. "All the world is promising"
Il will not PROMISE" said the mistle-
toe. And he didn't, in spite of all
the messenger could say.
But who cared? What could uny-
thing so fraiL as the mistletoe do to
harm Baldur? His refusal was for
gotten in the general rejoicing over
the fact that all the world had prom
ised never to harm Baldur.
And the rejoicing was great. And

the gods. just for a lark. began to
throw things at Baldur. knowing moth
ing could hurt him. What fun they did
have! One would throw a rock. an
other spear, another a BAH of fire.
and two or three getting together
would hurl whole tree trunk; but
as soon as anything drew near him,
it leaped to one side or the other,
and refused to strike him. Now,
wasn't that wonderful?
One day, as the young gods were
shouting over the way they couldn't
hit him, an old woman, seeing Friyga
ct her spinning wheel, asked what the
laughter and noise were about.
"Oh." answered Frigga. proudly,
"the gods are amusing themselves try
ing to hurt my boy: but they can new
err do 1t. for all things have promised
never to harm him."
"Is that so?" exclaimed the old
woman. "Everything?"
ayes. everything in the world except
the little mistletoe, who. of course,
couldn't hurt anybody"
"Well. am glad to hear It." said
the old woman. rs she turned away.

requiring a type of construction be- yond the means of any single local unit, the federal action would not be paternalistic, but would be merely a recognition of a duty which had become national in character.
 Those who view with alarm see in the building of a system of federal highways by the federal government an unlimited invitation of states and counties to make a raid on the national treasury and an indiscriminate scram- ble to have al highways included in the federal system. Thse alarmists also have visions of states and coun- ties folding their arms, so to speak, and waiting for the federal govern ment to build their highways.
 These alarmist views take no ac- count fthe fact that a national high way system would be based upon the fundamental promise that only main highways meeting a given standard of importance and limited to a given percentage of the total mileage would be included in the federal system. They overlook the fact that the federal measure could call upon the states to build an equivalent mileage of sec ondary roads to for man automatic check upon the demands for federal appropriations. They overlook the further fact that with a federal system probably not exceeding two per cent of the total mileage the states in view of the enormous requirements of local traffic could not adopt any policy of folding arms and waiting while they neglected the other 9S per cent.
 Except for the amusement of those who love to argue these questions of constitutionality,' states rights, pork barrel, and 'paternalism' they may be considered as laid on the shelf. The federal government is committed to appropriations for highways: the state governments are in accord with an active federal policy; the only question of real importance relates to the form in which the federal high way policy can most practically benefit the nation

HOW OPPOSITION ID FEDERAL HIGHWAYS
 SYSTEM COLLAPSED

WASHINGTON, D. CIV h en President Wilson, July Il, 1916, ap- proved the federal aid road act, and d consequent federal appropriation gof sS5,000, ,000f says President David Jameson, of the American Automobile association, "the long controversy over the constitutionality of federal high way appropriations, for all practical purposes, was settled. Congress again, in the closing days of the recent ses- sion, by another appropriation of S209,- e00, 900, emphasized thelay ing away fthis question of constitutional pow CTS. Its further discussion must, therefore, be classed as academic.
 When 4S states assented through their legislatures to the federal high way measure, they buried that further disturber known as 'sates rights so far as it had any bearing upon federal participation in highway improvement. Any national highway act, the benefits of which may be had only when the state legislature assents to the federal measure successfully meets any con- tention that the federal government is invading the rights of the state.
 "'Pork barrel can only be applied to a federal highway measure when the federal funds are so expended as to produce inadequate or negotiable re suits. The building of an important highway in an appropriate manner through the medium of federal ap- propriations in these days of motor travel and transportation can never he termed as pork barrel expendi- ture, for the benefits are so imme- diate and far-reaching as to be ut- terly inconsistent with what results from customary pork barrel ouHays. It is necessary, therefore, merely to frame the federal measure to insure building the right roads and to build them right to remove any taint Of pork barrel
 Paternalism' is a term loosely used, but if it is to be regarded as describing a policy fundamentally un- sound, it must be used to mean the doing of those things by the federal government which the states and To- calties could do better for themselves. If under this definition a purely local highway is to be built, the federal government would be paternalistic if it took upon itself this purely local duty. lf, on the other hand the federal gov ernment undertook to build a highway used by several counties or states and

THE NIGHT RUN IF THE NAVAJO'
 BY OLD-T|MER

An old timer in the railroad business is Jess Holm, who pulls No. ?, the Santa Fe's Navajo, east from Wins low, in the morning hours. He knows the business from A to z and has been opening throttles for the past ? years and can tear one of the big compounds completely down and assemble her again, which to the layman is remark able. He also has the record of hay ing been stuck on the road just one time and couldn't get in under his own steam, which is again remarkable. A friend of his describes one of the early morning departures of the fast train of the desert:
 "A rapping is heard on the window pane, the call boy sings out, No. 2 due at 4:23' Jess answers the call, o. K.,' and without hesitating we crawl from our warm bed, shivering in the crisp Arizona air, and start dressing. We walk down through the quiet, dark the Harvey house, and from there on up to the round house.
 We find the round house full of big Baldwins, roaring and steaming, all trying to outdo the others in an ava lanche of noise. Everything IS precise systematized is the first impression, as we pick our way among the hissing steel speedsters over to where our big 356 is standing. Jess looks her over carefully, although she has been worked on for four hours. She looks fit as I walk around her by his side for inspec- tion. It is almost useless to try and ask questions, the noise is so deafening. He stops here and there, turning grease and oil cups-apparently nothing es- capes his critical eye. He turns and shouts into my ear Nothing is so inn portant as the grease-must have it everywhere and I strain my ear to catch each word. I am learning some thing.

THE FINISH

AII japanned bodies get dull In D painfully short time after they go into actual service, and this is true of some rather high priced cars. It is a good plan when the car is new and before it has lost its first bloom, to take it to a good carriage builder and have him give it a coat of high grade var nish. Give him plenty of time to let it dry. This will preserve the lustre for much longer than it would ordinarily last.
