BETTER ROADS
SAFETY FIRST FOR CHILDREN
Many Requirements Furnish Variety of Topics for Essays and Oral
 Discussion.

(Prepared by the United States Depart.
 ment of Agriculture)
 The many requirements for safety will furnish a variety of topics for school chiIdren's essays and oral dis cGssion. The dangers of railroad crossings at grade, the economic jus dfcation for abolishing them, the im- portance of an unobStructed view up and down the track as vehicle approaches, and the disadvantage of sharp turns, etc, are suggestive subjects. Similarly there might also De mentioned the questions raised by street intersections and turns. In every town there are many crossings where the autoist's view is unnec- essarily limited by fences, shrubbery, or buildings; or where sharp curves with limited visibility invite serious accidents. Guideposts, markers, and other signs for the most efficient guild ance of traffic through thickly settled communities also are part of the bigger and more inclusive topics of the economic importance of safety and gufdance-the actual money value of human life and of accident prevention.
 Another question, in solving which the engineer and economist will need the help of enlightened public opinion 
 in the public schools), is that of the relation of the public highways to railroads and canals. The advantage of long hauls by rail and short hauls by motor truck; feeding into main terminal points by radiating systems of highways; division of the trans portation burden by parallel systems of water, rail, and road transporta- tiOn, are some of the subdivisions of this general heading.
 This listing of topics is not intended to be complete or exact, but merely suggestive. Those which refer to con- structiOn could best be utilized when construction work is in progress in the vicinity of school. Many of the other topics may be studied from maps, of which the students might be required to make tracings or free-hand sketches showing the particular features for which emphasis is desired, or regarding which the exercise is being written. State highway depart ments often feel the need of a better popular understanding of the problems of road construction, and their officials would doubtless cooperate in hearty Looking ahead, it is easy to see an actual shortage of men qualified to carry on the work of highway de Velopment, so rapid is the growth of the good-roads movement.

BREAKFAST AT HOME

ID BREAKFAST in most homes Is ID gloomy meal, and yet unless some fearful disaster impends or has ai- ready fallen, cheerful countenance and pleasant good mornings are far more natural than the blues.
 So the mistress of the house must frown down bad morning manners, just as she must insist upon the polite Excuse me- when anybody wishes to leave the table before the meal is over. She must see that the maid wears a clean apron while serving and. that she goes about her duties quietly, and all this must be done be- forehand, as it Is not in the polite nesses to correct the servant at table. Reading the newspapers at breakfast time is a distinct breach of manners, although the break is allowed in many homes. eff you please" and mo, I thank you,'' are phrases polite persons accord any member of the family when asked to ha%s something or other, and the same civility Is re uuired when dealing with a servant.
 At breakfast and luncheon a large tray is generally set for the mis- tress of the house, from which she serves the tea and coffee. Fruit is served before the meat, and in order that the napkins may not be ruined with the stains finger bowls are then

1 shall be back very early n the spring to repay it-'
 Miss Rosebush had no idea how Robin could repay her, and she did not think she had done anything for which he shoulc, so she hugged the wall closer, falling asleep for the winter.
 When she awoke in the spring she was very much surprised to find Robin already back from the south, around her roots with his bill in a very busy manner.
 You see, am keeping my promise,'' he chfrped. 'I am quite sure I know why you have never are too many worms around this wall but this year you will not be held back by them, I promise you"
 Every morning and evening Robin came and worked to repay Miss Rose bush'S kindness of the fall day when he was caught in the snowstorm, and when June came all the flowers in the garden looked with surprise upon Miss Rosebush's beauty, for she far outgrew them all.
 Up to the top of the stone wall she grew, and then above it, and her beautiful pink roses were so large that everybody passing that way stopped to admire them.
 ''Now, what do you suppose hap pened?' said a big red rose5ush who had always been the pride of the garden. NO one ever noticed Miss Rosebush before this summer
 No one could tell, but if they had asked Robin he could have told them that it was kind deeds that made her so beautiful, but though it is said that little birds tell a great deal, Robin did not tell what he knew about Miss Rosebush, and so no one in the garden found out why she grew so tall and beautiful that summer.

As every housewife knows eggs have a way of dfscoloring silver spoons and there is no reason why they should not be eaten with the small bone spoons that come especially for that purpose.
 It is now taken for granted that the persons gathered around the break fast table have none too much time to spend; therefore more leniency is permitted in manners perhaps th1fI at dinner which is the 1eisurely meal of the day. For instance, if one per son does not care for fruit, it is not dtscourteouS for him to proceed to cereal or eggs or whatever his break fast consists of.

ana who should she see but a little Robin pulling off her dead leaves.
 "Oh, I am so sorry to disturb you," said Robin, ''but you see I have been caught in a snowstorm. I did not think it would come so soon, and I have crept into the opening in this wall to keep warm"
 "Just help yourself to my leaves" l" said Miss RoSebuSh. "I wish I could help you to keep warm.'
 Robin pulled off all the leaves that were left on the bush and snuggled himself into the crack in the wall un- til the snow went away and the warm sun came out again.

ANGELICA

A NGELICA, a name of much more is still one of the angelic names'' which feminine fancy delights to be- stow on its girl children. It means, of course, angelic" and seems diffi- cult to reconcile with the behavior of some of the small daughters whom one finds bearing the name.
 Angeles was a Greek word meaning heavenly messenger" hence "angel." It first became a name in the Byzan- tium empire when it was bestowed as an epithet upon persons of surpassing beauty
 It was applied most often as a mas culine name and there was a Carmel ite saint called Angelo, who estab- Hshed it as a baptismal name. In his honor, the feminine also became popu- lar and Italian history records many instances of its use.
 Angelica sprang to fame since it named the faithless lady of romance for whose sake Orlando lost his heart invention of Boiardo and Ariosto, the romantic flavor. which the story gave her name brought Angelica to instant favor. England liked the name and adopted it. In France 1t became An geliQue, and Italy produced the other forms of Angioletta and Anzioleta, thought Angelica continued the reign ing favorite.

"PERSoNS" AND ~PEoPLE."

THE word persons" used to in- ! dicate a number or a gathering of human beings, is numerical; the word people" is collective. The diff ference in the use of the words may be illustrated more easily by giving examples than by discussing the gram- nautical principles involved
 We say, correctly, Three persons entered the theater," not, Three peo- pie entered the theater." But we should not say or write, There was crowd of persons in the theater": say, There was a crowd of people" The rector was asked, How many can be seated in your church?'' He replied, we can seat comfortably about one thousand persons, but if an unusual crowd of people wishes to at- tend the services we can accommodate more than a thousand" The Standard Dictionary says, "It would be quite out of place to say, The pastor de sires to meet the young persons of the church. |"

ROSEBUSH'S KINDNESS

T TITLE MISS ROSEBUSH grew by A the stone wall in the garden where there were so many beautiful flowers that grew so much taller than she that no one noticed her.
 Little Miss Rosebush was a pretty, dainty looking little bush with pink roses, and if she could not be tall and beautiful she knew she must be very sweet.
 So she grew in her place in the gar den, sending out all the sweetness she could, and when the fall days came she leaned against the stone wall and went to sleep.
 But one morning she was awakened by feeling something tugging at her,
