in bill introduced in the House.
Appropriation for $100,0O0,000 for
public roads during the next fiscal year
is proposed in a bill reported by the
House roads committee.
Acting Treasurer Allen has announced
that total of $13,SS3, 3,S19,S26.36 two
thirds in cash and securities was
found in the treasury as result of
the count necessitated by the resigna-
tion of John Burke as treasurer.
Legislation proposing q so per cent
reduction in the retainer pay of mem
bers of the naval reserve force when
not on active duty would practically
sound the death knell of the naval re-
serve, the House naval committee was
told by naval officials and officers of
the reserve.
The House agricultural committee
voted to take up the Senate bill for
regulation of the meat industry, and
keep at it until disposed of.
Half a billion dollars in revenues
from back taxes probably will be paid
into the treasury this year, officials
said. This unexpected revenue source
made possible by new audits of the
returns for preceding years, is ex-
pected to partly offset the loss ex-
pected in the slump in excess profits
taxes. Some officials estimate that
the excess profits taxes may fall off
$1,000,000,000 due to the drop in war
business.
One man in the United States had
an income of more than $5,000O0O in
1918, according TO statistics made pub
lie by the commissioner of internal
revenue. The identity of this billion
aire was not disclosed, the commission
er explaining that the law requires
that returns be held confidential. In |
1917 there were four individuals in |
the United Stotes who paid taxes on |
incomes in excess of $5,000,00O. tn .ir |
net income was $57,OOO,O0O, |

Now, while we shall not attempt to
say who Is to blame. we can point out
where the fundamental cause OF the
condition must lie. Either the insur'

too high for the protection they give,
or else the risk has been allowed to
grow out OF all proportion. The is
suing Of insurance policies today Is a
purely casual proceeding.
Any one, criminal. idiot. habitually
careless driver, what you will. can
insure his car. 1t may possibly be
that the insurance companies can re-
duce rates by some system of classi-
flying drivers to exclude the careless
from the benefits of protection.
II 1t were possible to obtain a class
Of preferred risks and exclude the
habitually careless altogether, 1t would
cut two ways. The absence of pro-
lection would make the innocently
careless take heed of his behavior
and would enable the careful end con

M endeIiSm.

Mendelism, a branch of the study of heredity, is concerned with the facts and theories centred upon the discoveries made by Gregor Mendel from his experiments in plant hybridf- Zation, and announced in 1865. Its importance is due to its bearing on stock breeding, and of it's possible bearing on the development of the human race. The essence of Mendel- ism-of the Mendelian hypothesis is that certain chara cteristics in a plant or an animal remain by them selves (unit characters), and will not blend with other unit characters when the two are brought into juxtaposition in breeding.

 Every man who is the head of a family has somewhere in the back of his mind a desire to own a home of his own for himself and his family That this desire has not been grati- fled may be due to any number of things, but the one that prevents most people from owning the house in which they live is that they never really started to acquire q home.
 For the average person, buying home is a considerable undertaking, one that means the taking on Of an obligation that will require a number of years to pay. The investment looks large and will probably require some sacrifices, but once start is made the satisfaction more than repayS the effort.
 No man. however, should undertake to buy home that costs more than it is reasonably certain he will be able to pay for. This error is the reason that has caused many to lose their homes after a start toward own ing them has been made Good judg ment in picking the site and in erect ing a home that meets the needs of the family and at the same time will not require a larger investment than can be handled, are two essentials in successfully acquiring a home.

Learn to Tell Children Stories.

Stories interest children to such an extent that they absorb the entire attention for the time being. Mothers should learn to tell their children stories of kindness, unSelfiShneSS, truth and dishonesty, so as to help them distinguish the good and evil of their actions. Storytelling will also go a great way in developing the imagina- tiOn, which is an essential in woman hood and manhood.

 Home building costs vary consid- erably in different towns and cities and are controlled by the cost of la Dor and the distance from source of supply of building materials. How ever, the local building contractor and building material dealer can supply pretty accurate figures on this or any other house that a prospective builder may want to erect. Also these men are experts in building materials and can offer valuable suggestions to the home builder.

as the darkness pressed around him, that he was to be tried in the fire. And the horse staggered beneath him as he tried to hasten.
 He showed no mercy to his mount. Horse-hesh isn't made for carrying a heavy man over such a trail as this, and she was red-nOstriled and lath- cred before half mile had been cov- cred. He made her leap up the rocks, and on fairly level stretches he loosed the reins and dashed her into a gallop. Only mountain horse could have stood that test. He gave no thought to his own safety. His courage was at the test, and no risk of his own life must interfere with his attempt to save Snowbird from the danger that threatened her. He didn't know when the horse would fall with him and precipitate him down a precipice, and he was perfectly aware that to crash into a low-hanging limb of one of the great trees beside the trail would probably crush his skull. But he took the chance. And before the ride was done he found himself plead ing with the horse, even as he lashed her sides with his whip.
 The lesser forest creatures sprang from his trail; and once the mare leaped high to miss a dark shadow that crossed in front. As she caught her stride, Dan heard a squeal and rattle of quflls that identified the crea- ture as pOrcupine.
 By now he had passed the first of the worst grades. coming out upon a long, easy slope of open forest. Again he urged his horse, leaving to her keen senses alone the choosing of the path between the great tree trunks.
 Then he heard Snowbird fire for the fourth time: and he knew that he had almost overtaken her. The report seemed to smash the air. And he lashed his horse into the fastest run

home builders who are determined to have a home, but who are not able to make a very large investment, the ac- companying building design is shown. This is not large house, neither will it cost much to erect. At the same time it is attractive in exterior ap- pearance and contains seven good rooms. It will fit nicely on 5O-foOt lot and leave considerable space on either side for light and ventilation.
 The design of this home is what makes it so pleasing to the eye. The sharp gables of the roof, together with the long slope makes it a story dnd-a-half house. but by putting broad formers in the roof at both front and back, three large bedrooms are pro- Nided on the second floor. These dormers also help to make the ex- terior attractive. The house is of frame construction, set on concrete

I hibit when hunting new game so that he didn't attempt to strike Snow bird down at once. But as the chase went on, his passion grew upon him. Ever he crept nearer. And at last he Sprang full into the thicketS beside her.
 At that instant she had shot for the first time. Because the light had left his eyes before she could find aim, both shots had been clean misses. And terrible as the reports were, he was too engrossed in the chase to be frightened away by mere sound. This was the cry the man-pack always made-theSe sudden, startling sounds in the silence. But he felt no pain. He crouched a moment, shivering. Then he bounded on again.
 The third shot was miss too: in fact, there had been no chance for hit. A sound in the darkness is as unreliable a target as can possibly be imagined. And 1t didn't frighten him as much as the others. He waited, crouching, and the girl started on.
 She was making other sounds now queer, whimpering sounds not greatly, different from the bleat that the fawn utters when it dies. It was a fear sound, and if there is one emotion with which the wild beasts are ac- quafnted in all it's phases, it is fear. She was afraid of him, then, and that meant he need no longer be in the least afraid of her. His skin began to twitch all over with that terrible mad ness and passion of the flesh-hunters.
 This game was like the deer, and the thing to do was lie in wait. There was only one trail. He wasn't afraid of losing her in the darkness. She was neither fleet like the deer nor courageous like Woof the bear. He had only to wait and leap from the darkness when she passed.
 When Dan Failing, riding like mad over the mountain trail, heard the third shot from Snowbird's pistol, he felt that one of the debts he owed had come due at last. He seemed to know,

The old plan of offering a burglar a cigarette and asking him to take a chair while you telephone to the po- lice is not now so successful as in the past.

This statement was made while both
sides were awaiting decision Of supreme
court Justice Morschauser on alimony

1t was understood that competent

presented either at referee hearings or
before a court by several witnesses,

it was understood, by servants in the
