ROAD LEGISLATION OPPOSED
Engineers, Dairy Farmers, Fruit and Vegetable Growers Making vigor-
 ous Protests.

All industry and great portion of the agricultural interests of the coun- try are up in arms against the nasty and ill-advised legislation already en- acted by few states and pending in others which threatens to strangle one of the nations most essential indus tries, motortruck transportation, says a writer in an exchange.
 The protests come from highway engineers, dairy farmers. fruit and vegetable growers, grain belt shippers, all lines of industry and commerce and other operators of motortrucks and their patrons.
 They say increased license fees and restrictive legislation have been eff. fected without sufficient investigation and without conclusive evidence.
 A sensible solution is being worked out by the state of Illinois. The state highway department has under con- struction an experimental road con- taining GA test sections, each section differing from the others in design.

IMPROVED ROADS
PROPER WIDTH OF HIGHWAYS
Eighteen Feet Should Be the Mini mum, Not the Maximum on Main
 Travelled Roads.

Through all the years we have been trying to maintain from forty to sixty foot roads in large percentage of our public highways when such a width was wholly unnecessary. The road sides have not been cared for because they were waste land and this lack of care has made them spreaders of weed seed and hay fever. A narrower roadway, well kept, would in most cases serve all the purposes required, drainage and safety, says the Successful Farming.
 Now that the roads are to be hard surfaced the tendency is to go to the other extreme in order to save taxes for paving. We must look ahead. If we put down a paving that will last fifteen or twenty years, we must esti- mate if possible the amount and kind of traffic it willg bear at that time.

GETTING AROUND THE TRUTH
Little Helen's Shrewd Scheme for Sugar Coating Fabrication Her
 Mother Crowned Upon.

Little Helen, one of the youngest set of Scipio society. was missing her sister. who was old enough even to go visiting and stay away from home three whole days and nights. She was getting more lonesome every hour and after having been told sev eral times by her mother that Louise wouldn't be home until Friday, finally hit on n plausible pretext for getting sister home.
 Mother. let's write and tell Louise that we have new baby at our house. I know she would come home then"
 But we could not write that--that wouldn't be the truth, and it isn't nice to tell things that are not true"
 That apparently settled the mat ter, but Helen added: Well, we could tell her it was d new baby doll when she got home-that would be all right, wouldn't it?s-Indianapolis News.

"SAM' TAYLOR OF
 ARKANSAS DEAD
PLEURISY AND PNEUMONIA ARE CAUSE OF CoNGRESSM MANS
 DEATH.
WIFE AND SON AT BEDSIDE
At Time of His Death Was Ranking Democratic Member of Rivers and Harbors Committee-Memher
 of Congress Since 1912.

Washington and pneu- 'nonia caused the death of Represen- tative Samuel Mitchell Taylor of Ar kansas at his apartments in the Con- gressional, almost within the shadow Of the great capitol. His wife and son, Chester, his private secretary, were present at the bedside. The re- mains, accompanied by committees representing the House and Senate, were removed to Pine Bluff for inter- ment.
 Representative Taylor, who was elected to Congress from the Sixth Arkansas District in 1912 to fill out the unexpired term of Joseph T. Rob- inson, who had been elected governor of his state, was 69 years of age. He was born in Itawamba County, Mis- sissippi, but removed to Pine Bluff in 1887, where he was shortly afterward elected prosecuting attorney which office he filled for three successive terms Mir. Taylor's health began to fail about two years ago. but it was not till last spring that his decline occasioned any solicitude either on the part of his family or his intimate friends.
 He was unable to take the oath of office upon the converting of the ex- tra session of this Congress, and was not sworn in till the latter part of May. From that time till he was at- tackled by the illness which was the direct cause of his death, his attend ance on the sessions of the House was irregular. Throughout the de- cline of his health, however, he was courageously hopeful, never once saddening his friends in the House by voluntary expression indicat- ing mournful consciousness of a los ing fight. He was made member of the committee on rivers and har- bors in the first year of his service in the House. as his district was largely interested in legislation with which the committee dealt exclusive ly, and he died it's ranking Democrat ic member

COULDN'T KID THAT STUDENT
Youths. Comment on Professors Ad- mission of Author Was Dis
 tinctIy Uneomplmentary.

George Philip Krapp has not always been professor of English at Columbia. For two years he held the same posi- tion at the University of Cincinnati, where his modesty, as usual, was so pronounced that his great scholarship was not evident to the typical under classman. One day chap who had just been promoted from the freshman class bounded into his study and said
 Professor Krapp, I found something strange today; there's book over in the library written by man who has just your name"
 "Is that so?" said Professor Krapp. What is the book?'
 Why said the student, 'it is an ac- count of an Anglo-Saxon work called 'Andreas and Elene ;
 But I wrote that book" replied the author of Modern English, and half a dozen other volumes"

A dimming of electric lights each night at eight o'clock as a national time signal is being urged as meas ure that will distribute the correct time regularly to all who are within sight of an electric light In the same way that the time ball is dropped down the staff at noon and clocks are regulated by telegraphic or radio signals from the naval observatory in Washington, it is suggested that pow CT plants regularly flash the correct time daily over their electrical sys- tens.

Putting the Finishing Touches on Hard
 Surface Road.

If the road is dangerously narrow now, as is the case where less than eighteen feet is paved, what will it be in twenty years?
 Eighteen feet should be the mini mum. not the maximum, and on main travelled roads a greater width will seem narrow in twenty years. In Eng land and France the roads are paved clear to the fences or sides of the highways, unless a curb and sidewalk or bicycle path is maintained between the road and fence. Every foot is kept in good condition. Good drainage is as much part of the European highways as is the case with our city paved streets.
 We are at the beginning of motor transport. Unless we look ahead and provide wider pavements. we will find the highways crowded and our pos sible relief from railway congestion annufled. A few dollars saved now in narrowing our paved highways will prove a short sighted policy
 We have already seen the folly of constructing our canals too narrow and locks too short. The great lakes boats needed in Atlantic transport dur ing the war had to be cut in two and taken through the canals in pieces. Ocean ships cannot reach interior ports until the canals and locks are en- larged. This is highway lesson to us. Look to the future.
