improving Canadian Highways.

Five million dollars will be spent
this year in improving the main high
ways of Canada, through provincial
and dominion government grants.
Two-thirds of this amount is being
contributed by the federal authorities.
This is the first year of the scheme
and in view of the time occupied in
preparing plans the initial years out
lay will not be as heavy as in succeed
ing years. The Improvement scheme,
however, is general. Every province
from coast to coast has filed highway
plans for approval by the dominion
highways experts. This is one of the
conditions on which the money is vot-
ed for the purpose.

Gently presided at the opening of the
new Polish parliament, Is a distant
relative of the Hohenzollerns and one
of the pillars of the old Polish nobility.
The honor accorded Prince Radziwill
was declared to be absolutely without
political significance. but entirely u
matter of custom. The prince came
into the temporary presidency by rea-
son Of seniority only. He is eighty
five years old and Is the oldest member
on the floor of parliament. By virtue
of q similar custom the youngest two
members of the house, a socialist and
Catholic priest, neither of them more
than twenty-five years old. acted as
vice presidents and sat to left and right
of the old nobleman all through the
first session, assisting him in the carry
ing on of his duties.

How a Hero Died.

A dramatic incident in which a he
roic young officer faced death In sol
dierly manner is the climax of true
story that recently appeared In Stars
and Stripes, the official newspaper of
the American expeditionary forces.
He was Francis NJ. Leahy of Law
renee, Massachusetts, and he had
served in the ranks before he won his
commission. He used TO tell of the
days when he was orderly to Captain
Pershing in the Philippines. One day
While he was resting with his men by
the wayside a German shell came
whiZZing out of space just as the order
arrived that the regiment fall in and
move on.
The shell plowed up the earth and
stretched on the ground several men
who We're just getting to their feet.
1t hit the tree against which Captain
Leahy was leaning and snapped 1t off
like stalk of asparagus. A piece of
shell struck him in the back and tore
its way through his chest.
"Good-by. boysl'' he said, and his
head sagged forward.
Then it was as if, somewhere in the
universe. an invisible commander had
called. Attention." Captain Leahy
raised his head. With clearing voice
he called the name of the officer next
in command.
Lieutenant Hansen" he said, "the
command is Forward See the boys
through"
Then he died.

tages Over That to Which North
erners Are Accustomed.

Cobble stones may not appeal to the
uninitiated as ideal for eoasting pur-
poses. but they admirably serve the
purpose. It all depends on how steep
is the Hill the cobbles pave. In other
words, 1t isn't the material that makes
the "slide," but the pitch of the slope.
Those Of US who are accustomed TO
sliding down snow-clad hills, or tiny
ascents made slippery by ne know lit
tie Of the thrill slide may possess.
For some measure of the delight in the
sport is frequently minimized by the
frigid air that PUSHES past our tingling
ears and some measure of the enjoy
ment is entirely lost by the chills that
grip our shivering bodies.
Imagine-if you can-the thrill of
coasting down hill so steep that your
sled" flies over the cobbles much as
is would speed over crusted snow or an
ice glare. Instead of icy air that all
most chills you to the marrow at the
thought, picture yourself in springtime
garments and famed by summer
breeZes.
If you can imagine such a picture
you will have enjoyed at least some
part of the sport of coasting in an
island where there is no snow or Ice.
Down the cobble-paved road the sled
flies. For ten minutes you flash along
in breath-taking rush, then you begin
TO grow accustomed to the speed and
the novelty of the sport and you take

other enjoyments-just as you're begin

The association has had 348 overseas
workers of whom 265 were in France
Some of the workers in France have been
transferred to other countries since the
return of American troops and the work
among French girls is being taken over
by French leadership.
