 All contracts, leases and rentals for new buildings will be handled by Miss Efith Austin of New York City. an Experienced architect and builder, who vii, work through this newly ere ated section.
 Plans for remodeling and decorat- ing rooms, clubs and hostess houses taken over by the Y. w. C.

 A cafeteria expert will have n place in the department to act as general ad- visor on restaurant and cafeteria proj- ects of the Association throughout France.

SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS ROAD
 LAW

The action of the Supreme Court of Arkansas in affirming the decisions in the Pulaski County road ease and the DeSha County road case Monday morn ing k of general interest to people of this county because the same questions are involved in those cases that are under consideration by the court in the cases which have been tried ill Nevada County.
 The Supreme Court also denied the petition for re-hearing in case of Sale vs Dalton, which k known as the Randolph County Case. The ques- tions at issue were the jurisdiction of the County Court, the censtitutionalitv of the clause in the road bills giving certain powers to the Board of Com mi>Sioners and the power of the Legis- lature to declare certain lands bene fitted and the constitutionality of the provision for the appointment of re- ceiver who could foreclose liens in Chancery Court. The court also de
 
 cided that the questions of the powers of the Commissioners and their au thority to fill vacancies in the Board was q matter entirely under the con trol of the Legislature.
 \ great number of other road dis trict cases are pending ill the Supreme court. involving similar questions. and the decisions in the above cases are looked to generally as conclusive of the questions involved. There is q great rush among the various counties in the state to advance the building of roads as much as possible.
 It k now certain that there will he even more State and Federal aid than heretofore estimated. by reason of the fact that it iS pretty certain that some of the counties in the state cannot build this year and cannot get their districts organized for the purpose of receiving the apportioned amount. The amount estimated for Nevada County k about $70000.00. This a. mount We would lose if we failed 10 build roads and it would he pro-rated among the other counties of the state who would build roads of certain re Guirements. On the other hand if we are allowed to proceed with the road work we will not only get the amount apportioned to uS. but in addition to that we will pro-rate with the other counties building roads the amount which has been apportioned to other counties and not used by reason of their failure to organize and proceed. It k possible that this amount may go near S100.00000. This fact k not or dinarily considered by the average man in talking about the expenses of the construction of roads.

HAVE STOOD TEST OF TIME
Quotations With Which All Are Fa miIiar Acquire Popularity Only
 Becauss of Their Merits.

The quotation worthy of the higf title of familiar" must have stood the test of time and passed unhur through the shifting tastes and fash ions of centuries. In its lofty or in iti humble way it must show that, like Shakespeare, it twas not for an age but for all time" l used the wore humble" because the rhymes of child hood, of the nursery, fulfill the re quirement of age in quotatior worthy to be called familiar. TheiI intrinsic, their abstract merits may appear slight, they may even seem ts be sheer nonsense, but they are passed on by mothers and nurses and by the children themselves from generation to generation. We may be assured that they would not thus have lived and prospered if they had not pos sessed some quality, however slender of genuine worth, of real humor or imagination, which gave them per manence.
 Then there are the popular sayings the folk tales and ballads and the songs of the people with an ancestry lost in the mists of antiquity, which stored In human memory and kept alive only by human lips, have come down across the centuries with thslr endless variants until at last they have been gathered up by the collector and the antiquarian and made safe from oblivion by print and paper. These tales and ballads are often rude in form and expression, but no curious inquiry Is needed to explain their long life and lasting familiarity. In them you find wit and wisdom, sparks struck from the hard flints of experi- ence by men and women struggling unknown through what we call lfe.- Henry Cabot Lodge in Scribners.

Marine Firehfes.

The bay of Toyama, Japan, Is the scene of a peculiar phenomenon that occurs each year in April and May. The cause of 1t is an almost limitless swarm of cuttlefish that shine like glowwOrms.
 The fish are tiny, says writer in the Boston Transcript, and when they meet with anything objectionable they emit a wonderful display of phos- phorescence. Every spring the coasts of Toyama swarm with these little creatures. and fishermen go out with special nets to catch them.
 When caught in the meshes the fish emit their light and cause the nets to sparkle as if charged with electricity. The people regard the sight as wOn- derful, and rush in great excitement to see it. Pleasure boats are in de- mand on those occasions, and it is a favorite courtesy to invite friend to an evening of entertainment in watching the sparkling cuttlefish.

"M artyrs."

The word martyr" has various meanings. Specifically, 1t is still con- fined to those who give their lives for their religious convictions. The Holy InnOcents" are notable example of ih- voluntary martyrdom. The word mar tyr" should not be applied to a person who loses mere property, but Is used to persons who have died while striving to attain their object. The dictionary gives as the primary deini- ton of "martyr"-"One who submits to death rather than forswear his re ligion: specif., one of the early Chris tians who suffered death for their re ligion." In general, the word is used also to denote one who sacrifices him. self for a cause. as a martyr to the pursuit of wealth.

Precious Salt.

Whatsis known as "radium" Is a radium salt, usually either radium bromide or radium chloride, some times radium sulphate. Tiny grains of these salts are extremely precious and are usually sealed up in little glass bulbs.
 The radium in one of the first bulbs that were received in London had a curious history. A physician in Port land place was applying the bulb to a patient when he accidentally let 1t fall, and a moment after crushed 1t under his foot. The value of the radium to the physician was very great. He re- moved his boots from his feet and cut out square of his valuable carpet. He had boots and carpet burned, and out of the ashes refined the original radium salt.

Burroughs writes, by the railroad track the school ma'am and her scholars were drawn up in line to see the presidential train pass. leaving the table rushed to the plat form and waved his napkin. When he came back he said: '"Those children wanted to see the president of the United States, and I could not disap- point them. They may never have another chance.

lou 10000 Years old.

Not so long ago a workman, 81 feet below the surface of Broadway, near Pine street. in New York city. found a piece of cedar wood that certainly presented a remarkable discovery. The wood was uncovered in excavating for the foundation of big office building. It was a part of the trunk of a large cedar tree that grew at least 10000 years ago, and more probably 10000 years ago!
 The wood was within a foot of bed rock, and 1t was covered with 80 feet of powder clay and glacial drift, which showed that the tree from which it came must have flourished before the last great age of Ice.

SAVES WASTAGE OF LIGHT
Device That Automatically Turns Of Power Has Been Found to 6e
 of Real Value.

One of the considerable sources of fuel waste Is the unnecessary burning of electric lights. A large percentage of lights are used chiefly for limited periods, as for instance in cloak rooms. They are turned on and then heedlessly left burning. Thus we are constantly recommended to shut oil needless lights as matter of national saving.
 An invention designed to remedy this condition Is the work of J. E. Lewis of New York. By pushing a button the light is turned on and glows for a predetermined period-say. five or ten minutes-and then Is autO- matically cut off. The device has been tested and found practical and seems useful in the way of checking electric light waste.
