W A DAvAuLr.

The statewide movement 10 con-
struct durable roads with state and
federal aid under the new law,
which has been in force less than
four months, Is ALREADY yielding re-
suits beyond the expectations of the
sponsors Of the measures With ap-
proximately $40,000.000 in bonds
voted and proposed in the different
counties In the near future the apex
of the movement TO submit projects
for state and federal aid will not be
reached until later in the year
The State Highway Board at its
last meeting approved eleven road
projects calling for an estimated ex-
penditure Of S93S.55 on fifty-eieht
miles OF road At previous meet
ins it approved projects in six coun-
ties that will cost about $1,000, 900.
Now that the Federal Bureau Of
Public Roads has assigned a resident
engineer to Missouri to expedite the
road building movement, these prof.
scts will be speedily passed upon
~ the Federal government and the |
for the building will be let
'hortly. The end Of the year will
ind Missouri building more desir-
lble roads than ever before in her |
history.

American FOOt-Binding

TFrom the st. Paul Dispatch1
Women's foot dress in stylish cir
cles-and. OF course. all America is
stylish-has progressed backward to
n point where the foot-hnding fash
ion is being compared with the foot
binding of the "heathen Chinee.'
and where ii has aroused move
ment for reform among physicians,
girls schools and the Y. w. c. A.
The case against the high heeled.
sharp toed shoe is that it causes a
walk which puts n strain upon the
spine and throws the internal or
gans ont of place. The danger to
the foot itself is that the fashionable
shoe cramps and paralvZes the toes
weakens muscles which normally
should be exercised, and generally
units the foot for physical exercise
which is so essential to the general
health.
Efforts are bein" made 10 have
stores and chains Of stores all over
the country carry lines of hygienic
shoes, and some progress has been
made. sad to say. however, this
mode of shoes is resorted TO in most
cases only when the feet have
broken down through long abuse
and refuse longer TO function ac-
cording to style.

tions of the new German attitude.
especially toward America. At
Frankfort / dined one night with
a group of eight business men. They
represented a half dozen large in
terests and as many important COM
munities.
One member of the party who
happens to be the head of Il pdwer-
full iron and steel group, made this
remark: Economic conditions in
Germany could not be worse. In
deed they are so bad that, speaking
for myself and my associates, /
should be perfectly willing to see
Germany become an American col
ony, provided that we were guar
anteed protection against French
revenge and rapacity."
OF course, it was conversation for
my particular benefit and to create
a good will for Germany. But it did
have the germ of truth in it. cer-
tainly as illustrating the German
feeling about France. These two
nations will do business together be-
cause they must. but so long as time
lasts there will be bitter hatred be-
tween them. And France has good
reason to hate.

Those scent Days

[From Birmingham Ase-Heraldl
once upon time n nickel was
real money-but those days are
gone.
In the days of our youth, water
melons could be purchased from the
passing farm wagon for the sum
of cents. but now not even the
transparent slice can be obtained
for this sum.
Enough bananas could be bought
for cents to give three boys indi-
gestion. but that was long ago.
There was a tine when small
boys were wont to do chores around
the home for the coveted nickel
but not now.
Who can forget the man who used
to walk into the cigar store and say,
in a loud voice, GIVE me a good
nickel cigar"
There was a time when nickel
bought a loaf of bread. or Il dish of
ice cream, paid for shoe shine and
even made a sizable tip. Some of
the old citizens, in their more rem
iniscent moods, can recall those
days-or at least they say they can.
But gradually, one by one, the
uses of the "iitney" passed away. 1t
would buy nothing to eat, nothing to
drink. unless .re-enforced by the
once despised penny, until only "A
ride on a street car remained to be
secured in exchange for the nickel.

Our Bond Common Tongue

GLathrop Stoddard in Worlds Work
t The eminent English litterateur
John Galsworthy, while asserting
the existence of wide physical and
empcramental diVergences between
the English and American peoples,
believes that these are more than
offset by their common possession of
the English tongue. In an address
entitled The Community of Ian
guage," recently delivered before an
American audience in the Academy
of Arts and Sciences, Mr.. Gals
worthy said:
Il do not think that you Ameri-
cans and we English are any longer
strikingly alike in physical type or
general characteristics, no more
than | think there is much resem-
blance between yourselves and the
Australians. Our link is now but the
community of language-and the in
fnity which this connotes.
We. who possess in common the
English language-'best result of
the confusion of tongues" Lowell
called it-that most superb instru-
ment for the making of word music.
for the telling of the truth, and the
expression of the ina gination, may
well remember this: That in the use
we make of it, i'm the breadth, Justice
and humanity of our thoughts, the
vigor, restraint, clarity and beauty
of the setting we give to them, we
have our greatest chance to make
our countries lovely and beloved, to
further the happiness of mankind.
and to keep immortal the priceless
comradeship between us"

The Ceiling of He Earth
IFrom the Colnrnbns Disnntch |

[From the Columbus Dispatch
Air experts say the next war Will
be fought on "the ceiling of the
earth" and in the saying they give
us Il new expression. They fix the
limit of altitude at $4,000 feet
thereby establishing the height of
the ceiling above the ground.
There is no reason to doubt the
statement of the aviators. Indeed.
military men generally express the
belief that the next war will be
fought largely in the air. The nation
that dominates the air in the begin
ming of the struggle will be the VIC
tor they say. just as ii used to be
the case that the nation which domi-
mated the sea was the victor.
But, this ceiling of the earth.
What a picturesque expression
These airmen crawling over. the cell
ing of the earth as flies used to
crawl upon the ceiling of the home
before the advent of screens. That
is exactly what they are like-tiny
insects far above their abode on the
earth, twisting and turning in the
air. swooping through and sweeping
above the clouds.
Up there, out of sight from below,
where all is eternal blue, there is
where the next war will be fought.
But let us believe that the genera
ton now anchored to the ground
will have passed away, and its inn
mediate successors succumbed to old
age, before the ceiling of the earth
is splattered up with human wreck

The Origin of Woman
BY BRIGGS


From the Columbus Dispatch
A magazine writer consumes con-
siderable space in trying to prove
that it is wrong to teach that woman
was made from Adams rib. He says
the proposition is ridiculous, ana
while it may have been well enough
to teach it in the dim and distant
past, we ought to be ashamed OF
ourselves for sticking to the super
stition."
If our own idea or belief of the
origin of woman is a superstition,
then it is quite as good superstition
as other people have. For ours is
not the only theory of the origin of
woman. Many other people have
many other theories or superstitions.
The Australian natives believe
that woman was once Il toad-and
that isn't very nice. If it is true,
however it shows what n wonderful
I'creature the toad was transformed
into and I'VE can rejoice thereat.
| Then, the Laplanders believe that
woman was once "a rabbit, and since
rabbit is more likable than II toad,
we prefer the Lapland superstition
to the Australian.
The Japanese believe that woman
grew upon a tree-and that is get
ting along still better. The feathery
! blossoms of the trees, with their
/ color and their perfume, seem more
4 nearly approaching the realm of
womanhood than do rabbits OF
toadS
But if we are compelled to give
/ up our idea that woman was made
from the rib of man, we are going
I to accept the Persian theory. That
is by all odds the prettiest one, and
, the one We could more easily believe
! than any other. The Persians assert
that woman fell from heaven.
