by the Associated Press.
Secretary Houston agreed today with
the Senate judiciary committee not to
make any additional loans to foreign
governments, no matter how pressing
the demand might be. until he had
consulted the committee and given 1t
full time for deliberation.
The Treasury Secretary previously
had declined to give his promise that
he would make no further advances
to the allied governments under COM
mitments which. he declared, bound
him in honor to advance money when
1t was requested.
Mr. Houston appeared before the,
committee for questioning as to all
the details Of loans already made to
foreign nations. and particularly az to
the legality Of each transaction. He
had with him great mass OF corre-
spondence and other data and was ex-
Missouri, author of a pending bill to
prohibit further advances to foreign
nations.
Senator Reed said he would take up
each loan in turn and call for the
correspondence relating to Ii. He also
explained that he would ask three
principal questions in each case. the
first to ascertain the authority given
for credits advanced, the date OF the
advances and the purpose of each. and
the balance and obligations against
each advance.
Hearing In Postponed.
Loans to Czechoslovakia were hrst
inquired into. The Treasury Secretary
produced a letter to President Wilson
under date of October 4. 1918. asking
IL Czechoslovakia had been recognized
and whether the Treasury was author
fzed to make loans to it, The White
House, he said, approved the letter
on the next day and the first commit
ment to that nation to the amount Of
$7.000.000 was authorized on April 8,
1919"
The examination OF Mr.. Houston got
only as far as the loans to Cxecho-
slovakta. the hearing being adjourned
until Monday after it developed that
Mr. Houston had not brought with
him all the data sought. COMMITTEES
members indicated their desire to IN
quire into how foreign loans were
made before and after the armistice

STATE ROAD HELP OLD IDEA
First Money Paid for Highway In- provement Made by Kentucky
 75 Yeara Ago.

It is often said that the use of stato money for the construction of roads is of quite recent origin, says bulIe- tin from the American Highway asso- clation The New Jersey state aid law of 1901 is sometimes referred to as the first instance of such use of state funds ln this country. As matter of fact, state money was spent for such purposes more than D years ago. Kentucky paid out over $2,000,- 900 for road improvements between 1920 and 1S40 under the direction of state highway engineer. who drew salary of S5,000 year, very large sum for those days.
 The roads built then were 24 to 30 feet wide between the ditches. Tho surfaces were constructed of broken stone, and the bottoms were of largo stones wedged together to make what road builders call telford foundation. About 1850 business conditions in the country became bad and this work stopped. When 1t was resumed in 1908 such long period had elapsed since the earlier state aid work that 1908 is usually fixed as the begipning of state road work in Kentucky.

T HOSE who have postponed the ac-
 \ quirement of a spring coat until now, may congratulate themselves that the styles are crystalized and that therefore it is easy to make choice. Coat styles have gone from good to better and it will take a captious and hypercritical person to journey far in the displays without growing enthusi- astic over the last offerings of the designers. There are several good, distinct styles to choose from, with those showing the influence of the cape, dominating the season.
 This feature is given prominence in the handsome coat shown at the left of t)le two illustrated here. The body of the coat is full and hangs straight with ripple at the bottom, ill the man. ner of long cape, the sleeves simu- late a shorter cape and the embroi- dery. used for establishment. follows the lines of still shorter cape, or deep cape collar.

GOOD HIGHWAYS
IMPROVED ROADS ARE URGED
Permanent Highways VIII Turn Tide to Rural Sections and Increase
 Production of Food.

"Propaganda urging change of the present method Of federal aid in the construction of good roads has made its appearance,' said Thomas ]. Gu sack of Meriden, Conn, to Washington Post reporter. Tt Is now proposed to establish national highway system, to be wholly constructed and uIain tained by the national government. It is doubtful r. such Il change would ever be advisable. but it is certainly not expedient at this time in view Of the condition of the treasury.
 ''It Is desirable to have a system of hard-surface roads throughout the country, and this result can be ob- tained under the present system. Highway use is very largely local matter. The growth and development of community is greatly Increased by the construction of permanent roads in ar adjacent thereto. No system

 I've are told by competent authority that freight can be transported cheap CT on short hauls by motor trucks than by rail, but on long hauls the cost of transportation by truck is pro- hibitive.
 "In April, 1917, the declaration of war caused all road building to cease. All bond issues that had been voted for road construction were held in abeyance, and nothing was undertaken until after the signing of the armlstice to resume construction of highways. The war awakened the people to tine necessity of permanent road building and demonstrated that 1t would Do necessary In the future to build roads that would withstand the heavy truck traffic.
 "The present system of federal aid has not been given fair opportunity to demonstrate its merits. It began operation under abnormal conditions, which grew worse. The road to be improved must be rural post road, as defined in the law, to be any public road, major portion of which is now used, or can be used, as a connecting link not to exceed ten miles in length of any. road or roads now or hereafter used for the transportation of the United States malls.
 Nothing will turn the tide Of hu- manity back to the rural communities more effectively than the construction Of permanent highways. Nothing will encourage the production of food prod- ucts more than roads that can be traveled all the year"

LECTURE-TEACHING

IN PARIS, when our soldier boys \ were on leave and seeing the sights ol the great city, it was common to meet an American girl taking a punch of the boys through one or the other of the museums that make part of its glories. They made these 'ilps interesting by telling stories apout many of the famous pictures and statues.
 Anna Curtis Chandler is doing some nins of the same sort in her Sunday story Hour for children in the Metro poiitan museum in New York city. She ,ohllhes her work to the lecture hall, however, and illustrates what she says "ilil stereopticon slides.

RUBBING THE LAMP

nF ALL the stories that out of a ~ far-distant past have come down te entertain and teach us none Is more compelling in it's interest than that of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp.
 There are several versions of the fact. bat one feature remains the same in all the variations-in order to get the benefits which the lamp had pow or to confer the possessor had to rub 1t.
 Tn other words, it took WORK to qef the desired results and to enjoy the benefits.
 The greatest disgrace in this life is to be idle. To produce nothing, to feed upon the mental or physical labors of others, reduces man to a rank lower than the animals, for they strive at least for their food.
 "He is not only idle who does nothing" says Seneca, '.but he is idle who might be better employed"
 The thing to do is to find that task for which you are best fitted, which YOU can do with the greatest efficiency and the greatest pleasure, and do that task with all your might.
 
 Count your efforts by results.
 The punch that does not land never overcones your opponent.
 The bullet that sl-Snds it's energy in the air never helped to win q battle. Production, RESULTS, is what truly measures endeaEor and fixes it's value. likeness is emptiness. Emptiness as to the present. emptiness as to the future.

A DNIITTEDLY necessary "A part of everyone's diet, salt, was formerly much more of a luxury than it is at pres ent. Deposits of it were com paratively scarce and the com modity was distinctly high priced. It was for this reason that salarium or "salt money was included as part Of Roman soldiers pay-much as, in the Sixteenth century, pm money" was given to wives for the purchase of pins, then made by hand and quite expensive.
 From his allowance of salt moneyn the word salary, as applied to payment for services rendered, was gradually evolved and it is to the same source that we owe the common coilo- ouial expression that a person "is not worth his salt" Owing to the fact that salt is now ob- tainoble for few cents hound. this phrase is under stood to mean that a person IS practically worthless. But, a few centuries ago, it was un- derstood to mean that, while not much above the average me ,,orson referred to was worth at least something.
