Peter and Paul Were in Rome.

According to the evidence and dis
coveries of two famous archaeologlsts
Of Rome, Professors Grossi Condl and
Orazlo Maruechi, there no longer re-
mains any doubt that the Apostles Pc
ter and Paul both went to Rome and
suffered martyrdom there.
That doubt has been raised several
times IN controversies between various
schools of archaeologists.
"The Apostles Peter and Paul." pro-
fessor Marucchi said, "did go to Rome.
| have found traces Of their burial in
a catacomb hewn out of the rock on
the Appian Way, behind the ancient
church of st. Sebastian.
"There are graves In this under
ground burying place., which Of course
prove nothing. But there are also writ
ings on'the wall, and these writings all
invoke the aid of Peter and Paul. de-
scribed as lying there"

Richmond, Va.-Voting for the first
time in the history of the State in a
general election, women OF Virginia
will have an opportunity on November
2 to cast their ballots for the I'M
provement of roads and schools-two
things long neglected and vital to the
welfare and progress of the Old Do
mihion.
Announcement has been made at
the Office of the. Secretary of the Com
monwealth here that separate ballots
will be provided for voting on the
amendments to the Constitution and
separate ballot boxes provided for the
depositing of the amendments vote.
Nor will it be necessary to scratch
but one word tolyote FOR the good
roads and school amendments. Run
ming a line through AGAINST will
register q vote FOR the amendments.
This information has just been sent
out to election officials throughout the
State. -
The good roads amendment inserts
six words in Section 1874 OF the Con-
sstitution. These words are: TaGcon:
struct or reconstruct public SFoads.
Passage of this amendment will per-
NIT the General Assembly to issue
bonds for highway construction. 1t
will not issue any bonds, but will
only give the Legislature the power TO
do this. -
State Highway Commissioner Cole
man has stated that if the amendment
is passed, Virginia can have high
way system in six years instead OF the
eighteen it will take under the pres
ent plan of building roads on the pay
as-you-go system. He also states that
the issuing of bonds will not increase W
the taxes of the State one penny and
that the bonds can be retired in TWEEN
ty years. @f I
Feeling that the women Of the State
would be so yitally interested in good
roads that they would want to vote
FOR the good roads amendment with
out confusion on their first visit to
sthe polls, Virginia Good Roads As
sociation issasking newspaper through
out the state to print guide ballot
on the amendment to, Section 1874. This
they are doing as patriotic contribuuI
tfon to the cause Of better highways
and greater progress in the Old DO
minion. 49,

Mr.. Dobson came home early In the

In which he failed miserably, he hap
pened to look over his shoulder, and
discovered the woman next door
watching him.
"Wash you wan'?" he demanded.
u don't want anything" she replied,
but didn't go away.
The man made another attempt to
find the keyhole, but being again un-
successful turned in disgust and asked
the neighbor If she had borrowed the
keyhole.
"Of course not. l don't know any
thing about your keyhole except that
you can't find It," said she.
"Well, you've borrowed everything
elsh we've got, sho I thought maybe
you borrowed our keyhole," came the
reply. -,

ONES JOB MUST COME FIRST
Salary Should Be Secondary Object
for the Man Who Is Anxious to
Advance.

I have never known young man 10
advance far when he thought much
about his salary while at work, or who
let that salary have anything to do
with the interest he was putting into
his job. The job is the chance, the op-
portunity, to show what you are made
of, to show what you have for sale
your ability, your personality.
If you have something unusual for
sale you may be sure you have what
every employer Is always looking for.
tt you are alert, enthusiastic, original,
II you try to stamp everything that
gces through your hands with superior
ity, you may be sure that you will
soon find q place at the front with
commensurate salary.
On the other hand, the man who
drags through just enough work to get
by, who gets to his job when he has
to and watches the clock for time to
go home will not see his salary enyel-
ope fatten very rapidly.
Quibbling over ones salary has
spoiled many a career. 1t is not what
you are paid for doing, but what you
do that you arc not paid for that is
the key to the position above you.
This is almost invariably the case.
The service you render which you are
not obliged to give is the thing that
attracts your employer-Orison SWEET

IDEAL SERVANTS IN MEXICO
One May Get Descendant of the lit-

descendant OF the Incas making my

after your interests. <o

AS Chairman of the Good Roads
Committee of Virginia Bankers' Asso-
citation, H. N. Phillips, president Of
the Broadway National Bank, of Rich.
mond, has just addressed an open let
ter to the women voters of the State.
He declares that the good roads
amendment is one thing all of the new
voters can agroe upon, regardless IF
creed or party aflil.ation. Bad roads
are now heavy handicap to pleasure
travel, to rural education and social
intercourse, and a source OF great ex-
pense and loss to the agricultural In
terests, he says.
The letter of President Phillips to
the female electorate follows: .-..
"On November End, many thousands
of the women OF Virginia will cast
their first ballot in a general election,
and to you this appeal Is directly ad-
dressed. y
There will be many differences Of
opinion among you as to the policies,
platforms and candidates. 1t is well
that it should be so. 49,
But there is one thing to be voted
on at that time upon which all can
agree regardless Of creed or party
afiliatlon, for it Is a matter In which
all are Interested and In the same way.
All of us travel, more or less and
know the bad condition OF Virginia
Roads-a heavy handicap to pleasure
travel to, rural education and social
intercourse, and source of great ex.
pense and loss to our agricultural in.
terests.. ri -".-,e.-.
4 "BetterSroads mustabe had. @,l-
"At the coming election you will
vote on an amendment, to the consti.
tuition which II passed will give to
our State Legislature the authority to
issue bonds for road construction
when and as in their judgment an is.
sue seems advisable. !eeJ y 2hfLt4 !
, nrWithout a bond issue, most of us
who are now beyond middle life Will
have passed away before any com.
prehensive system can be completed.
With an issue, large sums Of FED
ERAL AID become available, work can
be pushed to early completion, and
Virginia s roads will cease to be the
plague spot of tourists, the 'shame'of
her people, and the source Of great
loss to all engaged in rural pursuits
please cast your vote FOR the con.
stitutional amendment" -, #

Famous Mine May "con,e Back"

The Comstock lode, once known as
the richest silver mine in the world,
and from which millions Of dollars
were taken during the height Of its

Italians Melt Up Small Change.

The secondhand dealers all over
Italy have cornered the bronze 10 and
centime pieces, which they have
melted down. and sold as ingots for
soldering ut two and three times the
price the pennies cost them. This has
caused great deal Of annoyance, as
small change is scarce, and In some of
the cafes stamps have been given 4s
change. The government has reduced
the size of the new 10 and 5 centine
pieces, but even that has done little
good, so it has now decided to coin Tie
new pennies out of a composidd
metal which cannot be used as soloeY

SHOWING GROWTH OF DOLLAR
How Benjamin FrankIn's Bequest Of
$4,000 to Boston Has Increased
In Century.

How the dollar invested works for
the individual himself has been best
illustrated by that first great Ameri-
can teacher of thrift, Benjamin Frank
lin, remarks Worlds Work. In 1791
he bequeathed $1,000 to the common
wealth of Massachusetts and to the
city Of Boston as a mark of his appre-
citation for having appointed him as
agent in. England at the "handsome"
salary of $4,000. And to make his be-
quest really valuable, with his great
foresight Franklin provided In his will
that this E1,G00 should be put out at
per cent interest for 100 years; that at
the end of that time 31-131 Of the fund
accumulated should again be put out
at interest for another hundred years
and then the fund be divided one
