REALLY GOOD sH0RTsER
World Would Be Better IF More OF
Us Had the Ideas Of That
Little Newsboy.

A bright-eyed,l barefooted, shabby
little fellow was working his way
through a crowded car, offering his
papers in every direction, in way
that showed him well used to the bust
ness and of temperament not easily
daunted.
The train started while he was maxi
ing change and the conductor, passing
him, laughed.
Caught this time, Joel" he said,
"You1l have TO run to Fourteenth ST.
'Don't care" laughed Joe in return.
II can sell all the way back again"
A white-haired old gentleman
seemed interested in the boy and
questioned him concerning his way of
living and his earnings. There was
a younger brother to be supported,
it appeared. Jimmy" was lame and
could not earn much himself"
"Ah, see. That makes it hard; you
could do better alone"
The shabby little figure was erect
in a moment and the denial was
prompt and somewhat indignant.
mo, l couldn't! Jim's somebody to
go home to; he's lots of help. What
would be the good of havin' luck IL
nobody was glad? Or of gettin' things
if there was nobody to divide with?"
Fourteenth street ~ called the con-
ductor, and as the newsboy jumped
out into the gathering dusk the old
gentleman remarked to nobody in
particular: i've heard many poorer
sermon than that. Maya

SOHO MAY BE SWEPT AWAY
Picturesque Part Of London Seized
uIed to Yield to the Demand
of Commerce.

Two picturesque slices of old Lon
don, known to tens of thousands of
Americans, may soon be scooped away
to satisfy the demands of commerce.
Soho and the parish Of st. Giles-or
Seven Dials, as it is better known
are about to begin their passage into
history and be converted into the most
modern business district of the me-
tropolis. possibly a second city Of
London.
Soho, which probably derived its
name from the duke of Monmouth's
famous battle-cry 'Soho" at Sedg-
moor, has experienced many vicissi-
tudes of fortune. In the olden days
regarded as one of the fashionable
quarters of London, 1t gradually be-
came the home of bohemianism and
the haunt of Sam Pepys and Gold
smith.
Today its dingy and unlnviting
streets are lined with French, Italian
and Swiss restaurants, where London
ers and visitors may learn what the
much-praised foreign cooking really is.
The whole district is now almost
entirely inhabited by foreigners and
is the. favorite meeting place of the
anarchists of the tame" variety. For
long it was looked upon as the equiv
alent of the Montmartre, but never at
any time has 1t attained the attrac-
tiveness or liveliness of the gay Paris
ian quarter.

And EallombroSa's leafy scene
That posed for Millions eye.
Now. all do is jest to watch
The resurrection of the year.

Would charm immortal eyes;

FEDERAL AID ROADS

quirements as to how each state shall Sc
lect its federal aid roads constitute the
principal new feature of the federal
highway act enactment of which has just
been completed as differentiating from
the federal aid act of 1916, according to
an analysis of the bill by the federal farm
bureau federation.
To secure part or all of its allotment of
the $4,000. 900 of federal funds appro-
priated for road construction for the re-
mander of the fiscal year, a state must
select a connected road system not ex-
ceeding Z per cent of its entire road
mileage for Improvement with federal aid.
This system is to be divided into two
classes of roads. one consisting of inter-
state roads, which shall not exceed three
seventies of the system selected and upon
which not more than GO per cent of the
states allotment can be expended with
out the joint approval of the secretary of
agriculture as administrator of the act,
and the state highway department. The
other class. consisting of inter-cOunty
roads. will compose the balance of the
system and receive the remainder of the
allotment.
/ The amount of federal aid received on
any project however. is not to exceed
in states where more than : per cent of
the area is unappropriated public land,

centage in 10 states. ranging up to II
per cent for Utah Where any state fails
, to properly maintain federal aid high

30 days notice win maintain it out Of the
