Now that revolutions are going out of style in Mexico, good roads build ing is being taken up in earnest Armed with picks and shovels instead of man killing paraphernalia, the the "heroes of countless bloody battles" are now linking the cities together with hard-surfaced highways. Work on more than 400 miles of roads is now being completed.
 Every 35 minutes throughout the year person is killed by an automo- bile somewhere in the United States. Every seven minutes a person is in iured. This appalling accident toll is caused by reckless driving and care lessness on the part of the pedestrian. Help reduce it from now on by being careful-not occasionally. but at all times,
 Nebraska is employing convict labor to build up a system of good roads. Each man receives $1.50 a day with food and lodging. Of this sum, the states gets half and the mans de- pendents the remainder. In case the convict has no dependents, he receives his share when released.

There are FIVE times as many peo-

publishers OF London. He suys war

az books, and shown them the JOY Of
reading. When air raids were numer-

there still remained the inner room.
the light and books. There was
quick demand developed for light
reading. but IL has changed and grown
so that now the best books are most
in demand. When air raids were ended
and lights and social activities were
used again, the habit OF reading was
continued and has grown rapidly the
past year.
There is an inslstent demand, this
publisher says, for books that deal
with real life. II Is his belief that
out OF the experiences OF war has
been born deeper appreciation OF life
and understanding of how tremendous
ly worth living II is. On this new con-
sciousness he bases the demand for
books that deal sincerely with prob
lens OF life.-Ohio State Journal.

Humidity.

Humidity Is the moisture or aqueous
vapor In the atmosphere. The vapor
is really an invisible gas. When this
vapor becomes visible II is called dew,
fog, mist haze. clouds. rain, snow. hail,
etc, according TO the size OF the drops
OF water or the method by which the
vapor condenscs. A given space ~ n
given temperature can contain only n
definite amount Of moisture. When n
given space contains all of the moIe-
ture 1t Is capable Of holding II is said
to be saturated. The percentage OF
moisture In the mir to what Il would
hold II saturated is called the relntive
humidity. When the air is saturated
with moisture the humidity would be
100 per cent. and II half saturated 30
per cent three-Guarter saturated 75
per cent The Increased humidity has
much to do with the effect of the tenn
perature on the individual. which Is
the reason the subject Is so commonly
discussed during hot periods.

Of it President Wilson's position sup
ports that of France for nonrecogni-
tion Of the Bolshevist Goaenment, ]
have reason to think 1t will arouse no
resentment in British offxll circles
on the score Of antognizing Lloyd
Georges policy 1t is known that
the Russian councils Gre divided, and
there may be split at Minsk on the
method Of dealing iwth Poland. The
Presidents open denunciation Of the
Moscow regime and his appeal over
its head to the Russian people and the
promise Of the moral support of the
United States in preserving Russia's
territorial integrity when the country
shall throw off the autocratic and
adopt a democratic government, will
strengthen sentiment in Russia, which
only needs organization to challenge
the present rule. American pro-
nouncements may thus have great
influence on the Minsk conference.
Moreover, it is expected 1t will have
the tonic effect in England, where GER
tain labor elements nave been giving

The American position won't be
very comforting to those who think
the time has come to recognize the
