Middle-aged Londoners who went to
and fro in the capital in the sixties
and seventies merely smile when we
ask if London could possibly be nois-
Ter than IT is at the present day.
For they say it was a far noisier
place then, when nearly all the main
streets were granite paved and all the
wheels Of the vehicles iron bound.
There was a continuous roar then to
which the present day sound is a
mere whisper.
One such Londoner says he often
heard in the old days the roar of Lon
don's traffic from as far away spot
as the Crystal Palace parade. The
sound was like that of continual very
distant thunder. He has many times
in recent years listened for the sound
from the same spot. but has never
heard it.-London Chronicle.

Just year ago we were printing our Oood
Roads edition advising the people to vote the
road bonds for the county commissioners to
expend for what we call bond roads. We ad-
yised that we had faith in the ability of the
board to manage the road construction, and
thru storm and sunshine thru days of doubt
ing and hoping, amid help and hindrance, they
have worked toward the same objective with
purpose superb and strong.
Tomorrow the county commissioners will
be in session, dealing with questions of finance
regarding good road construction for gravel
ing the road from Blackfoot to Gibson, and
for making bitulithic paving of the present
narrow Fort Hall macadam. They will also
be placing orders for imperlshable metal
signs to place at turns in the road leading ov-
er the Presto bench, thru Wolverine canyon
and over the range into the great scenic play

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair Is well
kept to judge of a woman's neat
ness, or good taste. If you are one
of the few who try to make the
most Of your hair. remember that II
Is lot advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all pur-
poses. but always use some rood
shampoo. You can enjoy the very
best by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, dissolve teaspoon
ful in a cup of hot water. This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it Is easy to apply II TO
all the hair instead of just the top
Of the head. Dandruff. excess oil.
and dirt. are dissolved and entirely
disappear, Your hair viii be so
fiuffy that It will look much heavier
than 1t Is, Its luster and softness
will also delight you, while the
