increased during the past several

tend to run up the cost of living

Good Roads as Military Measure.
From the standpoint of duty the
military element probably takes first
place. When it became necessary two
years ago to concentrate great num-
bers of men in environments, it was
found that the r0adways connecting
the environments with the surrounding
cities were in no sense adequate. For
the most part new roads had to be
constructed. There is always the pos
sibility of another such emergency,
and the only means of insuring facile
communication is by the construction
of surfaced roads over which motor
trucks can operate.
While the security of the nation in
such an emergency might depend upon
good roads for military uses, their serv-
ice to the nation would not be con-
fined to military matters. For a great
portion of the time during the past two
years 80 per cent of the railroad ca
pacity of the country was required for
military purposes. The transportation
of food, fuel and the like had to- be
accomplished largely by means other
than rail. Some hardships were en-
tailed. The motOrtruck, however, over
such roads as were passable, rendered
excellent service. When the present
bodybuilding program is carried out
and the total of improved roads Is
several times larger than at present,
the service possibilities of the motor
truck will be correspondingly in
creased and the safety of the nation |
and the comfort of the people more
fully insured.

looked upon this prospect with ironica1
patience, and now and then asked
himself the unanswerable question
why he had remained In the army.
Eleanor was grown up and doEniciled
permanently In Colonel Howard's towl
house. and her letters had grown morG
infrequent and perfunctory, until theil
arrival became a quarterly affair ID
stead Of monthly event, and not %

DIFFERENCES SEEN IN HENS

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment OF Agriculture)
Among general-purpose fowls nIi are
not equal In respect to either meat or
egg production. The difference is not
due to size. or to the shape Of birds In
like condition. but lies in those things
which keep one fowl In good laying
condition when another goes out Of
condition, that enable one to lay con-
tinuously through a long period and
still keep In good condition. while an
other loses flesh. becomes poor and
thin, and incapable Of further egg pro-
duction--until she has had rest--nft-
er a comparatively short period Of lay

Mark mumbled something to con-
ceal his agitation. "And, do you re-
member me coming and picking you
up?" he asked.
She shook her head regretfully. II

answered. "Notliing until that dinner

looked at him earnestly. "Uncle

times to think that have no memory,
no clear memory Of my parents. l am
sure that some day all this mystery
will he cleared up. Don't you hope
| so?"
"Yes," answered Mark, miserably.
He had always wondered what the
child would be like. Howard's half
yearly letters had always assumed too
much for granted. Mark had practl-
cally relinquished Eleanor to the Ma
jor, and he had never learned anything
about her that he had really wanted TO
know. He had not imagined the pre-
cocious, high-strung. idealistic girl
whom he now saw. He knew that the
disclosure of her fathers dishonor, II
ever 1t came about, would shock her
into revulsion of feeling that would
be fatal to the true development OF
her character.
| He had often wished that he had moi
pressed that Idea Of the reglmental
mascot upon the major. 1t had been
born in mind attuned to the victory
Of tat bloody day; In normal mo.
ments he would never have enter

been more impressed than he had ad
mltted to Mark. The idea hat
