MOTHERS MAKE MEN.

G AMUEL MATTHEW'S VAUCLAIN
- head of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works in Philadelphia, has had wide
experience in the selection as we'll as
the handling Of men.
He admits that he has a method, a
secret, in making his selections.
HE FINDS OUT WHAT KIND OF
A MOTHER A BOY HAS, and pays
no attention to the father. In the
course of long business life he has
made few exceptions to this rule.
This theory of Mr.. Vauclain has q
negative as well as positive side.
1t explains not only why so many
undistinguished fathers have distin-
guished sons, but also why SO many
fathers who are failures have sons
who are successful.
There are two sides to the question.
For one thing there is a tendency on
the part of boy to derive his pre-
dominant traits from his mother
For another, the mother is obvious
ly more instrumental than the father
in creating the environment which
plays large part in the development
of the sons.
In the average home the problem
Of providing minimum of income
which is the duty of the father-is
much less complicated than the prob
lem of making both ends meet-which
Is the problem Of the mother.
Long before statesmen ever dreamed
of budget system, that method was
familiar to the women. In one gen.
GRAFTON after another they have had
to pay their way with resources that
did not increase in proportion as the
families grew.
The carefulness, prudence and fore
sight that woman displays in run
ming her house naturally show them
selves in the bringing up Of her men,
children. II she is incompetent and
shiftless in one direction, she will be
the same in the other.
The mother, as distinguished from
the father, has played leading part
In the formative period Of men Of con-
spicuous genius who have lifted them
selves "by their bootstraps" into places
of great eminence.
The mothers of Abraham Lincoln
and Napoleon Bonaparte supply the
only available explanations Of the rise
to leadership of two men who are
types Of success, under the most diff
flcult circumstances.
In each case powerful, dominant
character made possible the passage
from log cabin to the White House
and from Corsica to the leading place
In Europe and an imperial throne.

SCOTS USED FIRST MACADAM
Experiments About 1914
Roads Now Common.

Macadam roads are so common In
America that national pride may well
lead us to look upon them as q do
mestic product.
But John MacAdam was a Scot. resi-
dent in Ayrshire, where he made his
first experiments about 1914, accord
ing to the New York Sun. Five years
later the first public roads were laid
with the pavement and a grateful par
lament awarded the inventor a grant
of $4,000.
In 1927, after the new pavement
had been thoroughly tested, MacAdam
was made surveyor general of all
metropolitan roads in and about Lon
don and the use Of his method became
general throughout the United King
dom.

Of labor, and wages reached the high
est levels attained In the history Of
the country. In 1917. competent labor
could be secured for from $1.5O to s.
per day, but the corresponding wages
In 1920 were from So to SIS for a short
sr days work.
In proportion to this demand there
was also pronounced scarcity Of con-
structiOn materials. Sand, gravel,
stone, and cement, and materials COM
monty used in road work increased in
price between 1917 and 1920 from so
to 100 per cent. Naturally. these in
creases in cost were reflected in the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
$4,535 to $3.50 per mile; concrete
from $21 ,165 to upward Of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile.
AS funds available for road con-
struction are largely limited by stat
ute, or by the returns from taxation,
a majority of the states this year have
deliberately withheld work, the plans
for which had been completed, until
they could obtain a greater return for
their expenditure.

LYRICS OFLIFE
By DOUGLAS MAILocH
LADY SEEKING BEAUTY.

7 ADY seeking beauty, who
~ Beautiful would be,
Where is beauty? Near to you
Waiting quietly
II you will but see.
Nature is articulate;
Can't you hear her call?
You need only initiate
Beauty by your wall,
Nature, that is all.
Here is beauty: "Tis a rose,
'Tis rose of red;
Yet she does not all disclose
Beauty, be it said,
Shown too much Is fed.
Only dignity may dare
Crimson harmonies,
Only women wise may wear
Colors such as these,
Lady, if you please.
Here Is beauty: Quietness,
Modesty, repose;
Beauty Is not fair unless
Dignity 1t knows
Lady, here's a rose.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN 1920

Shortage Of Labor.

Agriculture)
Every kind of road cost about twice
as much to build in 1920 as 1t did in
1917, according to the chief Of the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department Of Agriculture. and high
way construction suffered more than
any other class of work through rail-
road congestion, strikes, labor troubles
and material shortages.
After the war there was a great
public demand for improved roads.
Many roads had been seriously dam
aged by war traffic, and 1t appeared
that the return Of men from military
service would provide an abundance
Of labor. The army Of laborers which
was expected TO apply for the work
did not, however, materialize. On the
