GREAT 1920 ROAD PROGRAM
Necessary for Many States to Post
pone Expenditure of Federal
Funds for Building.

David +. Houston, secretary Of agri-
culture, in his annual report, calls at
tentiOn to the fact that the 1919 pro-
gram for federal aid road building Is
greater than any previous annual
road-bullding accomplishment in this
country. Ii Is so great, I'm fact, that
II undoubtedly will be necessary for
many of the states TO postpone until
1920 the expenditure of the federal
funds, because of the necessity OF de.
veloping experienced contracting and
engineering organizations from the
stagnant conditions brought about by
the war. Under the terms OF the fed
eral aid road act. the apportionment
to a state for any one fiscal year re
mains available for expenditure until
the close OF the succeeding year. IL
Is estimated that funds already pro-
vided will be sufficient to finance next
year a program more than four times
greater than any that has ever been
undertaken.

In the road they stopped to talk. One

they went to call on Karel verbeek.
II was then that Andre realized
Their hesitation after they had entered
his house, their stammering embar
rassment and exchange Of glances
their INDIGESTION and their consultation
In the road after they had left-all
meant one thing. There had been nc
idea OF candidates; they had intended
to give him the position till they saw
how he lived, how his house was kept
Then they had taken the kindest way
out OF the situation.
He was not surprised to hear the
next day that verbeek was appointed
but. for a long time. he could not make
himself 90 home. When he finally do
open his door 1t was very late. Ma.
thilda was asleep. He awakened her
"verbeek was elected"
"Uh-huh." She closed her eyes
again. apparently u~ninterested.
"Do you know whyr" demanded
Andre almost fiercely. at was be

He stood s;ifiy. staring down at her

and tenderness for her as she used tc

well. she would Just look the other
way and answer an uncomprehending
''uh-huh" that stabbed him to 81
lence. What had happened to her?
With their money. not only her self
respect but her whole self had gone.
Why couldn't she keep their little
house tidy? Why wouldn't she keep
his children clean? Leonie vas eight
and the twins six. They were old
enough to know how to behave to
people. Why wouldn't she teach
them? Poor little yOungsters-hud-

He rose and went to the window.
There was a light In verbeek's cot
tage. Suddenly his mind pictured the
interior. His home should be like
that. They had exactly the same
things but their dishes shOne on the
cupboard shelves, their beds were al
ways made when he called. and the
children had excellent manners. They
were well washed. too They looked
healthier and happier than his little
ines. Was the difference his fault?
Surely not-he and verbeek were in
the same positions-they did the
same things. But Madame Verbeek
did not say "why bother" 1t was
true she worked all day long to keep
things going and make ends meet.
She did it because she had not lost
her pride and it was the work that
kept her from losing herself. Mathil-
da-but he must not think that way.
He began TO prepare for bed.
Though the lamp was burning low. he
could still see his wife as she lay
asleep. She had been pretty once, but
now somehow her face had changed,
the skin was sallow, the expression
different-that was 1.-THE expression.
She had not taken down her hair;
wisps Of 1t made a ragged fringe about
her forehead and neck. Hairpins
stuck out at %grotesque angles. He
wished she would brush it as she used
to do. The bed-he turned out the
lamp and finished undressing in the
dark and took his place beside her. 1t
was easier so.
1t was toward dusk n evening
after he had come home from work
that IeOnie answered a rap at the
door. "Yes, he's here" she said, hold
ing the door half shut.

ROOM.
He gave the priest his chair. Ma
thilda removed some dishes from the
other one. wiped 1t with her apron,
and gave 1t to Monsieur Rameau. The
third man sat gingerly upon the edge
Of the bed. "We've come to ask you

Mathilda van Straelen tucked the
blanket about her three sleeping chill
dren and, for q moment. regarded thu
touseled little heads. Maybe If the
oedclOthes had been clean, she would
have noticed how dirty the children's
faces were and washed them. But she
only pulled the soiled blanket up to
The small, grimy chins and left dirt.
The harmonizer Of all things. undis-
turbed. Across the room was another
cot, Its coverings heaped in the midst
Of IT as they had been left in the
morning. She started toward 1t,
stopped halfway. then pushing some
newspapers from a chair, sat down
and DULY regarded her husband. He
was writing at a small table, the top
Of which was clear save for a pile OF
neatly written pages. The Pickering
light from the lamp OF the cluttered
dinner table rear him emphasized the
sharpness of his ascetic features and
ieepened the shadows under his eyes.
Mathilda's gaze followed the move
ment Of the pen in his long slender
fingers.
II don't see why you go on with
that writing, Andre. You'll get
anywhere with it now. The war
spoiled every chance anybody had at

looked up the light in his face cloud
I'd. 1T spoiled just about everything,
