BETTER ROADS HELP BABIES
Farm Is Made More Accessible to Doctor and Nurse-Danger in
 Travel Is Reduced.

It may seem long way from good roads to better babies, and yet the two are closely connected.
 America has great rural popula- tion, throughout which babies are be- ing born every day.
 These babies and their mothers need care, the visit of the nurse, the services of the physician, often of the surgeon, and how are they to have it if between lie miles of road impossible alike to automobile or buggy?
 Of what use is the little hospital at the county seat if the woman whose life depends upon it's care cannot be taken there swiftly and comfortably?
 What difference does it make that the town physician may be a very wiz ard at treating diphtheria, if long be- fore he can arrive at the farm the lit tie throat has been closed by the deadly film, or the little heart stopped by the depressant poison?
 Medical and surgical honors are generally claimed for the city-when as a matter of fact the country doctor is often possessed of skill as com plete as his heart is big.
 Make the farm accessible to the doc tor and nurse, make the hospital and the health center accessible to the farm. Nature and skill will do the rest.-Concord Monitor.

THIN ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Ordinary Rock Surface Under Motor Traffic Coming in Next
 Few Years.

MacAdam was years ahead of his age and years behind this one. The builders of the Appian Way knew more about building a road for mo- tortruck than MacAdam. strange as it may appear. It is the general opinion among road builders-an opinion greatly quickened and altered by the war-that the light stone road, be it surfaced or oil treated in what way you will. is not the road to build in the face of an avalanche of motor trucks that is coming in the next few years. The motorcar brought oil to the road as a necessity. The water bond, which worked so well with iron tires and iron shod hoofs, is useless against the suction of the pneumatic tire. But the oiled stone road that holds the 3O00-pound car with ease will not carry the five-ton truck-and last.
 The railroad builders have found that for heavy traffic it pays to use the heaviest steel rails. the finest wood for ties and the best broken stone, and plenty of it, for ballast.

paused in surprise. Why, surely it's Captain Drummond P
 Drummond nodded pleasantly. ''The occupant of a car is hardly like ly to change in a mile, is he?" he re- marked "Pm afraid l forgot to wave as you went past. but l got your smile all right. Are you likely to be long, because if so, I'll stop my engine?"
 The other man was now approach ing casually. and DrummOnd regarded him casually. "A friend of our little Phyllis. Peterson" said Lakington. as he came up.
 Any friend of Miss Benton's is, hope. ours" said Peterson with a smile. You've known her a long time, I expect?"
 Quite a long time," returned Hugh. we have jazzed together on many occasions"
 (Which makes it all the more un- fortunate that we should have de layed you" said Peterson. "I can't help thinking, Lakington. that that new chauffeur Is bit of a fool"
 q hope he avoided the crash all right" murmured Drummond politely.
 Both men looked at him. "The crash! !" said Lakington. There was no question of crash. We just stopped"
 Really" remarked Drummond. "I think, sir, that you must be right in your diagnosis of your chauffeur's foI fr,r fO Peterson. "When something goes wrong, for fellah to stop his car. by braking so hard that he locks both back wheels. is no bon, as we used to say in France. thought, judging by the tracks in the dust. that you must have been in imminent danger of ramming traction engine. I won- der if I could help your man." he continued. "Pm bit of an expert with Rolls"
 How very kind of you," said Peter son. "I'll go and sec" He went over to the man and spoke a few words.
 Isn't it extraordinary remarked Hugh. "how the eye of the boss gal vanizes the average man into activ- ity. As long, probably, as MT. Peter son had remained here talking, that chauffeur would have gone on tinker ing with the engine. And now-loO&, in a secOnd-all serene. And yet dare say MT. Peterson knows nothing about it really. Just the watching eye, Mir. Lakington. Wonderful thing the human optic"
 He rambled on with a genial smile, watching with apparent interest the car in front Who's the quaint bird sitting beside the chauffeur? He ap- peals to me immensely. Wish to heaven I'd had few more like him in France to turn into snipers."
 May I ask why you think he would have been a success at the jOb?" Lak- ington's voice expressed merely per functory interest, but his cold. steely eyes were fixed on Drummond.

"As long as you laughs like 'ell yourself, sir. I don't see as low it makes much odds," answered James.
 '"The first sensible remark you've made this morning." said his master hopefully. 'I will go prepared to laugh"
 He picked up a pipe from the man. telpiece, and proceeded to fill it, while James Denny waited in silence.
 "A lady may ring up today" Drum mond continued. Miss Benton. to be exact. Don't say where I've gone, if she does; but take down any mes sage, and write it to me at GOdal- ming postoffice. If by any chance you don't hear from me for three days, get in touch with Scotland Yard, and tell 'em where I've gone. That cOv- CTS everything if it's genuine. If, on the other hand. it's hoax. and the house-party is good one, l shall probably want you to come down with my evening clothes and some more kit"
 'Very good. sir. I will clean your small Colt revolver at once"

The words "Pole, Mexican, Rus sian," etc. are proper nouns designat- ing the countries or nationalities from which white men come.

Then he shut the door and locked it, and again stared at me fin silence.
 "'AIl copies he said quietly. won derful copies. And should you ever be tempted to think otherwise-ask your father. Miss Benton. Be warned by me: don't do anything foolish. Ask your father first"

 She shuddered. "That very eve nIng." she answered. And daddy flew into q frightful passion and told me never to dare to meddle in things that didn't concern me again.

HINDU IDEA OF "SEvEN SEAS"
Writer in Boston Herald Shows That Expression Is Older Than the
 English Language.

The question as to the origin and meaning of the term "The Seven Seas" having been raised in this column. am surprised, says a writer in the BoStCn Herald, that as yet no one has called attention to the fact that the expression is far older than the Eng fish language, antedating even the science of geography as we under stand it. In prehistoric Hindu thought our world consists as to its solid parts of seven concentric. continental Dvi- pas, whose names are Jambu. Plaksha, SalmaIi, Kusa, Krauncha, Saka and Pushkara. According to the sacred Vishnu Purana: "They are surrounded severally by seven great seas-the sea of salt water Uavana). of lsugar-cane juice (Ikshu), of wine (Sura), of clari- fled butter (Sarpis). or curds fDadhf), of milk (Dugdha), and of fresh water (Jala). Jambu-dvipa Is the center of all these, and in the copies of this is the golden mountain Meru." Jambu is the dvipa occupied by human be- ings. Meru the indescribably glorious north polar mountain by which the portal to the heaven or heavens is at tainable.
 In oriental literature. therefore. the expression "the seven seas" has no ref erence to the bodies of water named seas by our geographers, but is an in teresting survival of the geocentric world view which we of the western nations have lost, but which all ortho- dox Brahmins and Buddhists still hold sacred and true. Its recent appear ance in occidental literature is doubt less more due to Kipling than to any other writer.
