GOOD ROADS MOVE
STILL IN INFANCY

Because Of the great amount of
publicity which has been used as a
good roads propaganda, many people
are apt to be deceived as TO what has
already been accomplished and what
remains to be done" says General
Sales Manager John Tainsh. OF the
Mitchell Motors Company, Inc, Of Ra-
cine, Wis.
This IL not to disparaEe the excel
lent work which has already been
done, and is now being done. but TO
point out that we have just scratch
ed the surface Of good roads pub
hcity and to encourage those back Of
good roads movements to even gerat-
er efforts"
There is every argument, OF
course, for good roads and none
against them. Experience has shown
that good roads increase farm profits
by lowering costs"
Living conditions are always i'm
proved where good roads are the rule.
Attendance OF children at school-the
very foundation on which national
welfare must be built-is increased
and the schools themselves improved
where good roads exist Libraries are
made accessible"

DESCRIBES ENDOF
QUENTINROOSEVELT

The much garbled accounts OF the
circumstances of Quentin Roosevelt's
death as they appeared in the New
York press. are cleared up in Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker's story, Fighting
the Flying Circus" He says:
Nobody saw Quentin's last night
except the Huns who shot him down.
The fight itself occurred ten miles
back Of the German lines over Fe.e-
en-Tarden. Quentin did not shoot
down two ehemy planes nor did his
comrades desert him in time OF trou-

The others were utterly uncon-
scious OF his departure, since Quentin
flew in the last rear position in one
OF the wings. 1t was a cloudy day and
the aeroplanes were up near to AMI

the clouds. Suddenly Lieutenant Bu-

realizing whose machine IL was, Blu

his hands full in the present company.
Signaling his pilots to follow him, he
broke of the contest and recrosseJ
the lines. Then he discovered the Alb
sence OF Quentin Roosevelt.
That same night a wireless came
from the Germans saying that Quen-
TIN had been shot down by Sergeant
Thorn OF the Richthofen circus. The
additional information was received
that Quentin had been buried with
military honors. No honors. however,
could have compensated our group

FREE MOTOR TRIPS
TO FIGHT REDISM

Why all this talk about Bolshevisn
gaining a foothold in America? Why
should not a bit OF common sense be
applied every day by every citizen
similar to the rule OF the Boy Scouts
do at least one good act each day.
Do not merely talk about it. Apply
the golden rule" to everyday life.
Bolshevism is based on ignorance
dissatisfaction, envy, and greed, more
than on poverty and hunger. although
the latter do cause desperate acts. IT
cannot thrive in the open air and
bright sunshine OF Gods country"
One suggestion to help make the
poor happier. is that automobilists,
including truck owners. organize free
picnic trips al frequent intervals and
take parties into the country for a
happy day. requesting the guests to
bring their own lunch baskets, though
these might be supplemented by con-
tributions This is on the same
broad and generous principle OF CIV
ing a lift TO men in uniform at all
times. and taking their relatives tc
visit them at camp. Last year many
visitors also took Sunday papers to
the camps.
One "0rEaniEerT Needed.
II only requires one "organizer" in
each locality to start the plan and
keep il going. Then occasional news
paper announcements calling upon
motor owners to cooperate for a
fixed time. place. and journey would
bring many volunteers. Have friend
ly RRlks with the passengers" but
no long. stilted speeches. Guide their
pleasures without a lot OF dictatorial
"don'ts." ri.
II is well. in organizing such trips,
to interest at least one garage man
who can direct operations should any
OF the cars in the fleet" become
stalled" otherwise some OF the party
might miss the days pleasure.
One frequent cause Of trouble IL
ignition going wrong where batteries
are used, but cars equipped with
magnetic ignition are always found
to be dependable. Tire trouble would
not be serious, as these Journeys
would only average ten or twenty
miles. In fact, car owners would
only need to take their party to the
agreed place and call again for them
at the time fixed for returning.
Plan Would Bring Happiness.
An incalcuIable amount OF happi-
ness could be given to the workers
of this country if this could become
"a National Volunteer Movement for
Weekly Automobile Outings" for
there are over five million available
cars in the country.
Giving strangers a lift in isolated
cases is no part OF the plan, but
community motor picnics" would go
far toward eliminating Bolshevistic
tendencies anywhere, il we'll organ
lied.
The Y. N. c. A. the knights Of
Columbus. and other organizations
have given thousands Of our soldiers
and sailors treats of this sort. Why
shouldn't the home workers be given
similar pleasures by the voluntary
action Of citizens who possess cars?
Il is not money the workers want
as much as an occasional day in the
country to enjoy themselves as they
otherwise could not.

CLEAR YOUR
 COMPLEXION
Of Those U,,sightly Skin Blemishes. Use the Guaranteed BLACK and
 WHITE Beauty Treatment.

Some people dislike to use face powder, creams or rouge, but they cannot suffer the embarrassment of a dark, sal1ow, blotchy, pimply skin. They therefore depend on powders and rouge to cover up or hide their embarrassing facial blemishes, little realizing that the longer their use is continued, the more aggravated the trouble becomes.
 Why don't you clear your complex ion, remove those unsightly skin blemishes which so distress you? It's easy-no more trouble than applying cold cream or rouge. You cleanse the skin with Black and White Soap just before retiring and then apply Black and White ointment. In the morning you wash off the Ointment. No trouble, and the results are so satisfactory.
 Go to your nearest drug store, or toilet counter today and get you package of Black and White Oint- ment and a bar of Black and White Soap. You can buy both for soc. Beauty Parlors would charge hun dred times more for the same results. If you cannot find the Ointment and Soap, accept no substitute but send Soc to the manufactures for the com plete treatment.
