Good Roads Problem National, Not State

n ECLARING problems of highway
~ construction are national rather
than the concern of the individual
state. the report of the war depart
ment TO the highways committee OF
congress summarizes conclusions
reached as a result of the army con-
yOy of seyenty-three trucks which
blazed trail from Washington TO
the Pacific coast last summer. These
conclusions are. in part. as follows:
First-That the necessity for a COM
prehensive system of national high
ways, including transcontinental or
through routes east and west and
north and south, is real and urgent,
as commercial asset, to further col
onize and develop the sparsely settled
sections Of the country, and. finally
as defensive military necessity.
Second-That the existing roads
and bridges, especially in the sparse
ly settled sections of the middle and
far western states, are absolutely In.
capable Of meeting the present day
traffic requirements and until mod
ern types of roads and bridges are
constructed which will permit the
rapid movemen, IF heavy motor car

respective Increases or decreases dur
ing the 1910I92O and 19O0-19lO peri
DDS are available.
These comparisons show that the
1914 cities and towns made an ever
age gain of 81 per cent between l9oo
and 1910. but during the 19lO-lS-O
period the average gain for the same
places was only 90 per cent
The increases in rural districts IN
variably are smaller than in the cities.
This is shown by the fact that, whiie
the 1874 cities and towns gained 30
per cent from 1900 TO 1910. the entire
country showed a gain Of only II per
cent.
The percentage gain of the entire
country from 1900 10 1901 per
cent-was but three-fifths of the per-
centage gain by the cities and towns
So per cent. II the same ratio pre-

by the war of 1912.
Monroe's administration probably
will be longest remembered by the
doctrine that bears his name. Jack
sons administration will always be re-
garded as the one in which the out
standing event was the fight against
the national bank idea and the specie
circular. Folks administration will
be remembered by the Mexican war
Lincoln's administration. among
other things that will mark 1t, will be
remembered by the great Civil war I;
Grants by the reconstruction effort !;
Hays. by the resumption OF specie
payments and the introduction of the
civil-service system. Garfield's admin
istration was short-lived because of
the assassination soon after he took
his seat.
Cleveland's first administration will
be remembered by the creation Of the
interstate commerce commission and
the tariff law known as the Wilson
tariff bill; his second by his stand for
the integrity of the Monroe doctrine.
Harrison's administration will always
be remembered oy the antitrust law Of
1890, known as the Sherman Antitrust
act, and the Mckinley bill of the same

emeralds: numberless rings, bracelets
and anklets for women. There is a
wonderful diamond necklace called
the Garland of Delight" the largest
stone of which measures one and one
quarter inches in diameter.
The Garland of Delight has
blazed an imperishable trail through
the history of eastern romance. which
is ever akin to tragedy. 1t was worn
secretly for brief span by Gul Saffa,
the white Rose" beautiful dancing
girl whose story bears repeating. She
was the mistress Of Dara, who was
brother of Emperor AurangZeb, the
last of the fou1 great Moguls. Dara
and Aurangzeb. sons of Shah Jahan,
were both ambitious to sit on the Pea
cock throne. But Aurangzeb, nick
named the white Snake" because he
was born with curiOusly white skin,
after he had removed all obstacles, in
Guiding his brother, managed eventual
ly to coil himself on the cushions of
the Peacock throne. After Dara's death
the emperor seized his brothers pos
sessions. including the Garland Of
| Delight and Gul Saffa. She was said
! to have in her veins blood of the Hin
du Rajputs. the race long noted for
the beauty and chastity of its women.
So, when AurangZeb demanded her,
she said she belonged to Dara and
asked on what grounds ne claimed
her. The emperor replied that her
long tresses had bound him as in a
net. That night a messenger brought
a package TO him, wherein lay coil
upon coil of perfumed hair. Again
the emperor sent back word that ii
was the moon-like beauty of her face
! that had CENTRALIZED him. Then the
girl took a knife and slashed her face
until ii was hideous TO look upon. She
wiped the blood from it with a cloth
and sent it to the emperor. as a sign
that nothing was left of the beauty he
had desired. He never troubled Gul
Saffa again, who soon died of grief for
her lover.

who wanted to hear the sermon.
The pictures included views OF the

ner referred to the fact that the Brit

Palestine Is again In the hands OF It's
friends after centuries OF crusadlng.
Reference was also made 10 the fact
that when the late kais r OF

Sultan Of Turkey ordered a hole .orn
IN the wall Of the ancient city that tn
Kaiser might enter that way rather
than through the Gate OF JOppa.
