shouted something back. Thinking
his quarry must remain within his
reach. the old man quickened his
pace; the boy ran forward couple
OF steps. and then turned 10 jeer. to
egg his pursuer on. Old age, how
ever. realizing the advantages OF
youth stopped. shook his head, and
began TO call down anew maledic-
tions on the head OF the lad. In his
anger he shook his fist and cane at
the empty air and in the direction
of the lad alike. The boy, down the
street Always, warily advanced to-
wards the threatening figure. The
soldiers who were watching the
comedy roared their approval. The
old man once more gave vent TO his
anger, and nearer the boy came, just
daring him to take after him again.
1t was sight such as one would
see in almost any village or town

the boys in khaki were taken back

SNOWFALL had dumped new hat off
a patrteiep head, or sent a shower OF
snow down necks unused to such
chiIls.
The old man seeing sympathy on
the faces of the bystanders for the
little plebeian down the street who
was knocking him. shrugged his
shoulders and turned to go in the
door. Perhaps he felt as those old
gIadiators did in the Roman arena,
when thumbs we're turned down. At
any rate he silently started on his
way, then began to mutter, as If to
offer sympathetic condolences TO his
own wounded feelings.
Pop, a SNOWFALL flung with the I'M
erring aim that only a khaki clad
arm could boast caught him in the
neck. He turned to splutter and
curse. Down the road childish yell
of JOY greeted him, and nearer at
hand the silent chuckle of happy
big boy met his ears. 1t was the
freemason symbol Of boyhood. 1t
proved that it was the same old
world wherever you went.

HIGHWAYS OF TOMORROW.

One hundred and ten millions of dol
lars to be spent on permanent roads In
Ave years-such is the allotment
made by the states of Illinois and
Pennsylvania in the recent elections,
with similar sums likely to be voted
soon by many OF their sister states.
says Harlan H. Edwards in an Illus
trated article in the April Popular
Mechanics Magazine. Sixty millions
was Illinois share, to be paid en-
tirely by automobile and motor-truck
owners during the next twenty years
without resorting to general taxation.
This is just one indication Of the
great interest in good roads aroused
by the transportation needs during
the great war just past. People are
now awakening to the fact that the
best investment they can make is In
the construction of good roads, per-
manent roads, and roads wide enough
to permit two automobiles or trucks
to pass In safety. Along with this
tremendous increase in popularity of
good roads has come the develop
ment of new and better types Of
pavement, each singularly adapted to
the varying needs of heavy and light
city and country traffic. At Detroit,
Mich, new type Of pavement par
ticularly adapted for the use of auto
mobiles has been developed. 1t is
called rubber stone" and is a crush
ed limestone varying in size from
one-half inch down to dust, impreg-
mated with deliquescent or moisture
collecting and retaining chemicals.
1t Is placed loose on the road to
thickness OF five inches, and rolled
to smooth, compact surface-elas
tic, dustless, noiseless, and NEEDLESS.
and easy to take up and replace when
1t is necessary to get at pipes or
wires beneath the pavement.
With the adoption of efficient
methods of construction and mainten-
ance for all the roads soon to be
built by the various states. and also
for those built by the large federal
appropriation for interstate roads
under the federal aid act, our roads
OF tomorrow should be Of maximum
value to everyone. They will be built
much wider and stronger than any
we have now, and of he Nest dur
able materials, for they viii have to
lear greatly increased notor.truet
traffic IL the growth in use OF such
trucks in the past few years is any
criterion.

A DEPLoRABLE SITUATION.

A situation icrebodcd, or forescen as pos
sible, by many Americans and probably by mil
lions Of Europeans seems to have been precipi-
tated in the peace conference. Italy finding
her national aspirations implacably opposed
has declared her intention OF withdrawing from
the conference unless the city Of tiume is rec
canzcl as belonging to her. No definite state
nent as to how the great powers are aligned
upon this question has come TO hand; but the
general understanding is that our ENJOYS have
nut America III the position Of antagonism to
the Italian claim. Early in the conference
nearly three months ago, news came from
abroad that Colonel" House had been study
ING the italian frontier question with the aid Of
maps and looks and had reached conclusions
at variance with those Of the Italian govern
lnent More was heard of this from time to
time and all the limitations that came across
represented our ENJOYS as withstanding Italy's
demands If it shall prove that this is the fact
and that the American attitude is responsible
for ItaIy's indignant ultimatum to the confer
ence, it will be deplorable in the extreme and
ALLEVIATE a heroic nation without whose aid the
war could not have been won and for whom
Americans have high regard.
What moral right has America to interfere
in border line disputes in Europe? How inf
niteK wiser and better it would be to leave
such questions to the powers in Europe who
understand them, as we do not, and to the peo-
ples vitality concerned! How bitterly should
we resent Italian interference in a boundary
dispute between the United States and Mexico!
Our assumption of right to delimit European
states against their will is indefensible. Every
consideration of propriety should move us to
keep out of such disputes as are no concern of
ours.

freedom in May of 1915, nearly two years be-
lore the United States took action; and when

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an oId-t;me
Recipe that Anybody can
Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
er's time She used 1t to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of
'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients, which can be
depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the. hair
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears, and after
another application or two, 1t be-,
zones beautifully dark and glossy.
