Madonna and Child on Stamps.

Religious subjects are not commonly
used as the basis of stamp designs, al
though figures of the Madonna are
known on the early stamps of the Vir-
gin islands and more recently on the
high values of Bavaria. A set of three
special postage stamps, newly issued in
the small principally of Lichtenstein,
in honor of the eightieth birthday Of
the reigning prince, Johann II, repre-
sent the vision Of the Virgin and the
Holy Child appearing in the heavens
above the capital town Of Vuduz. The
stamps are Autographed in large for
mat, and comprise the denominations
so heller green, so heller carmine and
2 kronen blue.

Woman Best Hunger Striker.

Could a woman set the worlds rec
ord for hunger striking?
Reports from Vienna, where the
American relief administration Euro
pean children's fund is feeding 1GO,-
600 boys and girls day, indicate that
a woman can live longer without food
than man.
"Girls show more resistance in
fighting malnutrition than boys said
Ignatz Panzer. representative of the
New York Produce exchange, who has
Just returned from Austria. "Physi-
clans have found that a girl can go
longer on less food with less serious
results than a boy Of the same age"

ing the year when the roads are in
such condition, because Of mud, snow,
etc, that motor trucks cannot be
used, as the roads over which three
fourths Of the trucks had to travel
were unpaved dirt roads. But in spite
of bad roads the average life of the
trucks was placed ut 61A to z years,
and the largest single item Of expense
in connection with their operation was
that of depreciation.
Most of the owners of the one-half
md three-fourths ton trucks prefer
pneumatic tires, the owners of one
ton are about half divided between
pneumatic and solid tires, while those
owning larger trucks were favorable
to the solid tires.

Chief BENEFITS BY FARMER
Lower Cost Of Transportation, Witt
Better Markets and Higher
Prices for Products.

Perhaps one Of the chief benefits
which will be derived by the farmer
from the construction Of good roads
through his particular district is that
of an increased production coupled
with better market and higher price
for his goods and lower cost of
transportation. All of these things go
hand in hand with the construction
Of good roads and all of them have
sound economic reasons at their base

GOOD ROADS HELP CHILDREN
Larger Percentage Of Students Attend
Schools Regularly Where High
ways Are Improved.

While it is true that various factors
contribute to increase or reduce the
attendance at schools in given sections
Of the country, it is worthy of COM
ment that in the states having high
percentage Of improved roads a much
larger percentage of rural students
enrolled regularly attend the schools
than in the states having a small per-
centage Of improved roads.
