Peculiar Lawsuit.

Here is a queer cause for a law ac-
ton. A man who was insane deter
mined to throw himself out OF the win
dow Of an asylum. He made several
attempts and was prevented by the
servants. Put in a new apartment,
he tried again, jumped out of the win
dow, fell on the lawn and injured him
self seriously. but strange to say, the
shock cured his mental disorder. At
once he sued the officers vi the asylum
for negligence. The plairstifi was nom
suited.

BOOSTS GOODS ROADS WORK.
Hunt Tells why They Arc Real
Necessity.

fright now we are to see an UNUSUAL
highway building campa ign in the United
states says James J. Hunt general
mapager of the REQ Motor Car Company
OF New York. "In fact II is said that
the total amount to be expended this
year OH roads In the various States will
be over $3.50, 200, 900.
There was a time not 50 very Ions
ago when 1t was next to impossible to
get money for the building OF roads be-
cause of the prejudice in some sections
against the motor car. To-day the entire
world knows the value of'the motor
transportation and see In II the means
of moving the worlds goods. When
railroad strikes threaten, wnen there is
shortage of freight cars. when horses
fall down on their Jobs and when speed
and certainty of delivery is required the
motor truck Is called upon and it never
shirks duty.
Several factors have been responsi-
BILE for the present highway expendi-
lures and prominently among them was
the attention the war focused on the
need of good highways throughout the
country. The incentive for individual
States to match the Federal aid appro-
priation and the passage of big bond
issues for good roads also figured proml-
nently in the work of securing highway
improvements"

niand from abroad for Maccar trucks,
an export Office has been opened by the

poration.

ing houses. Henry I. Jacobson its head
is known as the Morgan OF Russia"
The order was accompanied by cash
and called for delivery at the rate of
fifty per month--evdence that business
in Russia is by no means as dead as is
generally supposed.
About half the trucks will be used in
tho various enterprises controlled by
Mr.. jacobson. These include extensive
coal mines and oil fields.
Among the other export orders re-
Gently closed is one for forty five-ton
trucks for Norway. Delivery has al
ready started on this order.
