trading for vegetables and fruit is cal
ried on, resembles a suffrage meeting
place, for among the crowded mass of
humanity not a man is to be seen.
"The straight backs and erect car
riage of the Loo Choo women are due
to the custom of carrying everything
upon their heads. No matter what the
object, be 1t large or small, it is
perched upon their thick, black hair,
and off they walk In the most non
chalant manner.
"The most striking thing about Naha
and Shuri are the high stone walls
which surround the houses. These
walls are generally covered by small
banyan tree, called the goja maru,
growing like great vine and sending
out numberless roots which sometimes
reach hundred feet from the original
stem.
''These also serve as hiding place
for a snake, kind of adder, six or
seven feet long, which is the curse of
the islands. Their bite is generally
fatal in few hours, and many people
are killed by them each year."

THE CHRISTOPHER: MUSI-
CLAN, MONSTER AND
AVIATOR

Once more the ravenOuS graSshOpper
wrought devastation upon Western
fields this fall, and the plague became
especially destructive in Texas.
Writing to the National Geographic
society, David Fairchild describes this
fascinating, if ruthless, creature as
follows;
1.-THE young king grasshopper is
probably twenty days old and it's wings
have not developed, but it can jump a
hundred times its length. whereas man
can scarcely cover three times his
length at leap. When its wings grow
and its internal air sacs fill with air it
can sail away for miles. One represen-
tative of this great family can sail for
a thousand miles before the wind, and
they go in such numbers that they
make a cloud 1000 square miles in ex-
tent.
''Its great front lip hides a pair of
jaws as effective as a hay-chopper, and
it has an appetite as voracious as that
of a hippopotamus. This voracious-
ness and these jaws are what have
made several of its relatives the
plague of mankind. They multiply in
such numbers as to battle all calcua-
ton, and every living green thing for
thousands of square miles disappears
down their threats, leaving the coun-
try they infest desolate.
"When the young grasshopper
energies from the egg it is very small
indeed-a wingless, helpless little
creature, all legs and mouth.

or stages, as they are called, each ON
of which is separated from the Other
by moult or casting of its outer
shell.
These mouths take place at fixed
periods, and as the insect finds Itself
restrained by its firm, inelastic skele-
ton. a longitudinal rent occurs along
the back. and the insect soft and dam
gerously helpless, struggles out of the
old skin inclosed in a new but delicate
cuticle, which takes some time to
harden and color up.
whether this creature has per-
sonality or not may be forever ex-
tremely difficult for humans to decide.
Its eyes, that look like cows eyes,
really cast a thousand images on
special kind of brain, so different from
our own that we cannot understand 1t,
and then besides these great big eyes
it has three others. Its short, ringed
horns are not horns at all, but sense
organs of so complicated a nature that
we do not yet know certainly whether
they are organs of smell or not, and 1t
is supposed that they may be the seat
of sense organs that we humans do not
have.
"In front of the great thighs imbed-
ded OF each side of the body are the
so-called ears, tuned no doubt to catch
vibrations of the air far too delicate
or too frequent for our ears.
1.-THE jumping legs of the creature
are filled with powerful muscles,
which, when they expand, can hurl it
through the air and enable it to es-
cape from its enemies. On the inner
side, along the lower rib, of the wing,
is the musical instrument 1t is row
of hard, bead-like projections, which
are very highly developed in the
males, but not at all in the females.
When the edge of the wing is scraped
over these projections musical sound
is made"

Ilent may reach $250,OO0000. In other
words, 1t will be necessary to plaE
for construction at the rate of at least
$1O0,000,000 and probably more per
year. Some appreciation of what that
means may be cleaned from the fact
that in 1915 the expenditure for all
roads in the United States, construct
ed under state supervision, was only
$S0,000,000.
"Since 1915, however, state highway
departments have been greatly expand
ed, and efficient machinery has been
developed which will undoubtedly be
able to handle the greater volume Of
work.
1.-The states have had four years in
which to prepare for the expenditure
Of the large funds which now become
available. They expect to be able to
handle them. What is of greater con-
Germ to them at this time is the con-
dition which may result If federal ap-
preparations are permitted to lapse.
The highway departments should know
at least year in advance what funds
are to be available in order that plans
may be made for future construction.
Unless, therefore, further federal ac-
ton is taken in the coming year, the
states will be left in doubt as to the
future policy of the government, and
the amount of money they must be
prepared to expend. Such contingent
cy would involve a serious setback to
the progress of road construction, and
should be avoided by early congress
sional action"

SANTO DOMINGO: FIRST
LOVE AND LAST RESTING
PLACE OF COLUMBUS

Christopher Columbus, in placing the
great western hemisphere on the map
of the world, left his impress more
deeply on what is now the Dominican
republic than on any other bit Of laad
In the New World.
The very name of the capital of the
republic, Santo Domingo, whose ward
ship under the United States has been
under public discussion recently, Is
family affair with the Columbuses.
The great discoverer named for his
father this first permanent city estab-
lished by Europeans in the Americas.
The same name is applied to the isl
and of which the republic is a part
almost as commonly as its aboriginal
name. Haiti; and finally the paternal
name is further perpetuated in that
Of the republic itself.
The remains of Columbus are be-
lieved by Investigators who have ex-
amined the evidence in the case to lie
In the cathedral In Santo Domingo
city. The body of the discoverer was

umphs from Spain. where he died and
was placed beside that of his son
Diego. 1t was thought that the Span
lards removed the remains of Chris
TOPPER Columbus when they trans
ferred sovereignty of the island to the
French in 1895. 1t appears from later
examinations of the burial vaults of
the cathedral however, that the casket
which was borne in such great state
from Santo Domingo to Havana at the
end of the Eighteenth century and
from Havana to Spain hundred
years later, contained instead the ashes
of Diego, the son.
The city of Santo Domingo grew to
be wonderful place during the early
days of Spanish dominion, but Column
bus did not live to see much Of the
development. His son, Diego Column
bus, however, engraved the family
name deeper on the city and the coun-
try of which 1t was the capital, setting
up there court of such regal splen-
dor that 1t aroused the envy of the
Spanish King.
Santo Domingo seemed destined to
become the bustling metropolis of a
Western empire. But 1t became the
victim of exploitation. After turbu-
lent history, during which the native
Indians were exterminated and thou
sands of African slaves were import
ed, the latter, assisted by mulatto free
men, rose, in the last years of the
Eighteenth century, abolished slavery
and drove their oppressors from the
island. Though the land of the Domin-
lean republic reverted for a while to
Spanish control, and later was con-
quered by the republic of Haiti, with
which it shares the island, it estab-
lished its independence in 1874 and
has retained its individuality since.

"The last apportionment of federal
funds to the state in road construc-

Mcdonald, chief of the bureau of pub
lie roads.

tiers of which is derived from the ap-
preparation of 1919 and S25,000O00

1916. A deduction of $3,000,000, or 3
per cent of the funds, will be made
to provide for the expense of admin
istering the federal aid act by the
Department of Agriculture. The bal
ance of $97,000,000 will be divided
among the states in proportion to their
population, area, and mileage of posi-
roads.
"Under the law the states are re-
quired to enter into formal agreements

MODERN TATOI AND
ANCIENT ATHENS

Constantine. whose return to the
throne of Greece was discussed after
the death of Alexander, had a famous
summer palace at Tatoi, before his abb
dication. There he spent much time
during the final uneasy months of his
reign.
Tatoi is 16 miles north of Athens by
way of Kophisia. In strong contrast
to the harsh and stormy political stu
alton which encompassed the members
of the royal family following the out
break of the World war, their physical
environment was wholly delightful, for
Tatoi is one of the most beautiful
spots of Attica. nesting almost at the
foot of the Parnes mountains. In the
distance towers the famous Penteli-
kon, from whose summit one may OBJ
tain the finest view to be had from
any of the Attic hills.
Historically, Tatoi is noteworthy for
being freighted with unhappy associa-
tons. In its vicinity stand the ruins
of an old fort, known as the Kastro,

line north of Athens, that the traitor
Alcibiades, he of whom Aristophanes
wrote that they (the Athenian SOL
diers) love. they hate, but cannot live
without him." counseled the Spartans
to construct strong Notifications in or
der to intercept the caravans of grain
from Euboea, which supplied the cap
ital with food. Alcibiades, by his be-
trayal of the Athenian navy which had
invested Syracuse in Sicily, had al
ready fulfilled the prophecy of the
misanthrope Timon who had said upon
one of the many occasions when the
young Athenian's rash proposals had
been Endorsed by the populace, go on,
my brave boy, and prosper; for your
prosperity will bring on the ruin of all
this crowd" His advice to seize and
fortify Decelea in 413 B. G. brought
irretrievable ruin on his native city
and resulted in an inestimable loss to
the human race, for it crushed Athens.
By one of the strange whims of "the
crowd" the Athenian army in its dark
est hour sent message to Alcibiades
inviting him to desert the Spartans in
to whose power he had betrayed his
own people. And by an equally strange
whim Alcibiades accepted the invita-
ton, rushing to Samos to assume
command of his old associates. But ii
was too late. Athens was doomed.
Lysander, commanding the Spartan
navy, administered a crushing defeat
to Athenian sea power at Aegospotami,
on the Hellespont. Three thousand of
the defeated Athenians were massa-
cred, and Xenophon, the historian,
with tragic simplicity relates that
when the news reached the capital,
THAT night no man slept"
Tatoi is reached today by railway
journey of eight and half miles to
Kephisia, and carriage drive of
seven and a half miles from that point.
The new summer palace was built for
the king and the old palace was de-
signed as the residence of the crown
prince. A beautiful park and a ven
cradle oak grove surround the royal
homes. A short distance to the north
is the barracks of the rural police,
known as the Chorophylakes.

Along busy highways of ocean trav-

But, although 1t has been 40 years
since there sounded the death knell
of this little hidden kingdom, Loo
Choo is not yet Japan. The traveller
realizes this even before he lands. The
pine-clothed, tomb-dotted hills which
form the background of the strange
little cities of Naha and Shuri have
an unfamiliar look and the pretty tiled
roofs of the diminutive houses, Just
visible over the surrounding gray
stone walls, give fascinating hints, of
what may be found beyond their lac
quered gateways. On their entire 900
square miles of land only one white

Naha, or Shuri, its neighbor across the
hills. The lacquer ware, when first

change to a beautiful ve-milion, be-

were greatly surprised to find that bar

Without exception, the first price
asked for an article was the one for
which 1t was sold. Never In the ORR

the women of Loo Choo conduct all
business and have charge of every
thing pertaining to money-with the
single slight exception of spending it..

Where bad roads prevail, farmers are
