The New Roads

The importance of highway construction has so increased other factors must soon enter into it. than what in general terms we called good road building. It is coming to demand the care in the laying of roads and the same high class of engineering that have been bestowed upon the rail- roads, Roads are coming to be something more than mere thoroughfares over which people can pass with comfort and convenience. They are becoming avenues of business.
 There is coming departure from the calfs path
 aimless line of least resistance Our roads must se ways to somewhere. the most direct and practi- cable routes between points.
 This new place of the roads is forecast as follows by an expert authority highways;
 Traffic engineers will be essential members of the general staffs of national and state highway depart ments if the enormous and intensive needs of traffic are to be met Highway traffic is already at point where it overshadows railroad traffic and has given rise not only to the engineering problems building highways durably but traffic problems which call wider highways main routes and involve con sideration traffic questions as co-ordnating parallel roads, providing detours. economically To- eating roads with reference tonnage and passenger requirements routing traffic. sign posting highways and the conduct of construction and repair work to interfere little possible with the flow of traffic The federal highway commission wlen it is estab- Hshed can do more to bring order out of confusion u the handling of these great traffic problems than any other conceivable agency"

 Madamoiselle Nanderlyn, we have avoided telling you-but you would better get the news now and get over the shock of it. said Miss Dennis. And she unfolded the papers for me.
 Leave me" l said. Under her eyes, l could not face what was to be re- Vealed to me. Staring at me in big black print was an account of rail- road wreck in which Mrs. Robert A. Lorimer' had been killed!
 An engine had run into the rear Pullman of a standing train, and had ground half a hundred sleeping pas sengers to an unrecognizable pulp. Some of the dead could never be identified. Gold fittings of a dress case marked with Mrs. Lorimer's name had been collected from the wrecked coach and had been identified by mem bers of the Lorimer family as the property of the beautiful bride.
 By a trick of fortune, Chester the chauffeur who had taken young Mrs Lorimer to the train, and the last member of the household to see her, had brought his car back to the garage and had not been seen since. The mar was melancholy-owin to a recent attack of the flu, his fellow employee. stated.

THE DERBY HAT COMING BACK

Danbury, Conn.-Optimism predomi- mates among hat manufacturers here concerning the outlook for the fall hat trade.
 Some of the buyers for the wholesale trade have hesitated to place orders for the highest grades. giving as a reason that they anticipate somewhat lower prices. That they are destined to dis appointment is predicted by the manu facturers, however, for the reason that hare's fur, principal material used, continues comparatively scarce and high. In the lower priced hats. in which coney fur is used, prices have dropped somewhat iH anticipation Of a lower market in that fur.
 Manufacturers report an ircTeased demand for stiff hats. and indications are that the derby is coming back strong for fall.

The Approach of siccation

There has been a lingering. snealdng nope tn'' somehow wartime prohibition would not really pecoi' effective July l. there several apparent loop holes of escape The might be technically over Dy that time; the president might abrogate the law as he has power to do; there apparent machinery for enforcing it as had been admitted by the collector of internal revenue.
 Peace may be declared before July 1, but certainty the demobiizaton of more than a million men cannot be effected between the promulgation of peace and the date fixed for country wide siccaton, and the la" holds in the absence of action by the president until demobilization has been completed.
 It is true that the internal revenue department will have machinery for enforcing the prohibition law. That function of that bureau It's business collect the license tax and to prose cute those who evaded it. But after July there will be licenses for the manufacture sale of liquor to be collected The interest Of the bureau in the liquor business will have utterly ceased.
 But there will remain the department of justice which is supposed uphold all the laws of the United States punish the volators of them. Attorney General Palmer declared Friday that the wartime prohibition law would be so upheld He also said that contrary to popular opinion the department is al ways provided with money to discharge its functions.
 There would though probably be needed much more money than will be available to enforce the law rigidy. There would nave to be agents in every community to detect infractons of the law in order that they might be brought the attention of the federal courts All the work now done by the internal bureau with respect to investigations of the manufacture and handling of liquor would be thrown upon the department of justice and no doubt this investigation would be difficult The number of private stills would be multiplied. Blind pigs and speak easies would spring up and would be much harder to locate than the open saloon
 Enforcement too, would depend somewhat upon community sentiment But liquor traffic will be kept so much the by the pursuing department that the average citizen will be able only to secure feetng gllmpses of it. And if he should succeed in effecting contact with it. his pocketbool will be pretty badly @nicked" In short we believe it's going to be pretty hard to get drink after June 3o

GLENDALE GOES OVER
 THE TOP IN V LOAN

GLENDALE, April 2I.-L. Myers. president of the Glendale State bank. reported late Saturday afternoon that Glendale had exceeded it's quota of the fifth Liberty loan. This shows that Glendale is keeping up with the record set all during the war on all the bond issues and relief drives. It is not en- tirely due either to the fact that this is a wealthy community; many sacrifices were made by many of the people who bought bonds because they felt that we had a job to finish Glendale nas not stopped, she will doubtless double her quota before the drive is over.

MY ARIZONA HOME

Let me live where the days are grander, Grandest beneath Heavens dome. Where Love and Joy together wander In my Arizona home. Let me live where the sun is smiling, Smiling the whole day long; Where strength renewed is ever be-
 guiling
 My heart to a festal song. Let me live where the days are
 brighter,
 Bright with joy and mirth; Where the cares of a man are far far
 lighter
 Than anywhere else on earth. Let me live where the mountains are
 fairer,
 Crowned by virgin snow: Where the rock-cleft canyons to me
 are dearer
 Than my home of long ago. Let me live where the gold clad noun
 tains
 Enrich our nations store; Where the lure of many God given
 fountains
 Bring me back the dreams of yore. Let me live in that land of gladness, Though the cactus be no rose, Yet it bears on it's stem no sign of sadness
 To tell of Winters woes. Let me live where the days are grander, Grandest beneath Heavens dome; ! Where Health and Wealth forever
 wander
 In my Arizona home. JAMES A. POWER.
