DIR ROADS BETTER THAN SOME
OTHERS

Chairman Lane of the Wilson
County Board of Commissioners
went over a number of roads in 9TH
er counties yesterday, and found
that our roads are much better than
many that he saw. He was rather
proud of Wilson county roads after
making the trip.
Mr.. Lane had an interview with
Mr. SnOwden the engineer in charge
of this Highway district yesterday
with reference to the resurfacing of
the old macadam roads in this town
ship.
Mr.. Lane desires to have the road
to the country club, at least as far
for the fair which opens Tuesday, the
25th He informed Mr.. Snowden
that the county had the material on
hand to repair this road at once.
Mr.. Snowden assured him that the
tarvia was on hand, and that the
rock was coming from Neverson and
that he contemplated finishing the
country club road in ample time for
the fair
With reference to the old macadam
roads in this township, Mr.. Lane says
that the highway commission in
forms him that the rock roads are
worth as much as when they were
first put down and will be used by
the state highway as basis for the
permanent road the commission eX-
poets to place. This road cost $4,000
per mile, and that will be quite an
item of saving when the highway
commission begins work on our
roads. 1t will be necessary to place
braces, or some sort Of cuTbing on
the side of the old macadam to hold
the rock together and prevent erO-
s'2n aad breaking off by traffic, but
that would be required on roads with
a concrete base.
Mr.. Lane has also signified his in
tention OF writing Mr.. Cameron and
request of him an answer to the let
ter addressed to him by the editor
of the Times relative to the amount
of money that the highway commits
sion Will spend of the money derived
from the sale of Wilson county
bonds for road purposes. The high
way commission, answering letter
from the editor of the Times relative
to this matter replied as to this
point. that we should enquire of Mr..
Cameron. So far we have not re-
ceived an answer to our inquiry.
We did not desire to publish any of
this correspondence until we had Sc
cured all the information desired,
and would have it all together from
reliable source for our people.

A GREAT STEP FORWARD

The Kiwanis Club of this city last
night took great forward step when
it put into operation a plan to erect
a. Y. NJ. G. A. building in this city.
A number of gentlemen agreed to
give $1,000 each. and others spoke
most favorably of the enterprise,
agreeing to back it with their money
srd assistance, and the motion to
erect a building was unanimously
passed amid rluch enthusiasm.
Highly comr1endatery remarks
were made of the work that Mr.. C.
3. West has acc ,nplished in this
com unity, and a building will be a
monument to his untiring efforts to
make the Y. II. c. A. organization
in this community a real factor in
tie upiift and development of the
mind and heart of the young folks
of Wilson as well as the older peo-
pie.
A com mmittee was appointed to con-
fer with the Rotary Club, and 9th
er organizations in the city, and we
bespeak for every man, woman and
child in Wilson the same hearty sup
port, as was indicated last evening
in the meeting of the Kiwanians.
The motion wat put and carried
unanimously after many expressions
from members of the club and Wis
itors and strong appeal from Pres
ident Lucas that Wilson could not
make an investment that would
yield greater returns.

Revelations of a Wife
fy Heart and Ny Husband
By ADELE GARRISON

AS 1 followed my mother-in-Iaw
and little Mrs. Durkee down the hall
20 Mother Craham's room paid
mental tribute to the poise of my
husbands mother.
IN her sons own parlance. sko
had proved herself TO be a "thor-
oughbred." and a 'corking good
sport" BY her action In leaving
the window Of Dicky's room open.
and giving him a chance to get back
into his room unobserved by little
Mrs. Durkee, she had saved ne from
the appearance OF a falsehOpd and
Dicky from the stigma of disc ourt-
esy toward his little neighbor.
Whether or not she would have been
so magnanimous if my reputation
alone had been at stake, I didn't
permit myself TO question. II was
enough for me that, in Chinese
phraseoIogy. we had saved our
face"
Little Mrs. Durkee became volu bly,
incoherent again as soon as we were
comfortably seated in Mother Ora
hams room.
You needn't look at me in that
reproachful fashion, Madge," she
began, making little dabs at her
eyes with an absurd little handker
chief. 'I suppose / am a big, but /
SIMPLY cannot stand being shut up
SO hours with Rita Brown, and 1
won't, not If l don't go 70 the we'd
ding. So. there. now! II Leila
would rather have Rita Brown than
me-well--she's welcome, that's
ALL"
After this childish and thoroughly
characteristic outburst, she took
refuge in her handkerchief again, a
proceeding which relieved instead
Of troubled me, for IL gave me q
chance to think carefully before
framing a reply TO her.
That Alfred and Leila had kept
the fact Of Rita Browns invitation
TO the wedding a secret from Her
F1ufiness" until the last possible
moment because OF the little wo-
mans aversion to the girl, well
knew. That the news had been
broken at last was very evident.
The rest Of the little woman's. griev-
ance 1 guessed, but resolved that I
would feign ignorance of the whole
matter.
1 gravely produced one OF Dicky's
old hankerchiefs from a pocket of
my bungalow apron--I always carry
one when working around the house
and bending over her, put it in
her hand.

John went to a German minister

he was 16 the boy learned Of his
real parentage and tried 10 run

IN 1918, he escaped, and sought pro-
lection as an American citizen at the

After months Of waiting while state

America penniless, worked his way

Local Musicians
Register Hit in
Initial Concert
BY MARY L. VITOU.


That South Bend is appreciahve of
good music we'll interpreted was at
/ tested Sunday afternoon ait the first
\ Of a series Of five concerts given by
the South Bend Symphony orchestra
in the Rotary room OF the Oliver no
/ tel at five o'clock.
Predominantly responsible for the
success OF the organizations presen-
tation Sunday afternoon is perhaps
I the conductor, Frederick Ingersoll.
under whose guidance the orchestra
was incepted more than a year ago
and who through his qualities of
leadership and fine musicianship has
been able to introduce to local audi
ences musical tr eils long desired.
Splendid Program.
The orchestra as a whole requited
Itself splendidly in a program re
plete with numbers Of delightful
melodies rich in variations. There
was precision OF attack and release
in the clear articulation Of the wind
instruments and the smoothness of
the strings. when one considers tbs
smallness OF the organization.
Three Cuban Dances" by Ger
vantes. opened the program with a
charming gasto as colorful and
lithsome as the movements OF the
dance. Three lyric numbers from
the pen OF Grieg and composed for
the piano were transposed for or
chestrauon with the utmost success
yesterday. The numbers were set
TO music sounding a purely Scandi-
navian burden.
Quartet PleaSes.
The solemn and regal music OF the
Russian National Hymn was rem
dered with intense sympathy by a
string quartet composed Of Harry
Cess, Abe Cohen. vioIins; r. II. In
gersoll. viola, and Louis Businger,
cello. An encore. Drink to Me Only
with Thine Eyes" was graciously
responded 20.
A particularly pleasing selection
was the Artists Life" a waltz by
Strauss. given In such a manner as
TO reveal completely the graceful
measures OF a haunting melody.
other numbers included "Serenta, -
by Baron, carrying rich, deep tones;
March Grotesque." by Sinding, a
composition almost rhapsodic in
character, and the "Algerienne
Suite" consisting OF Evening Rev
erie" and the stirring French Mill
tary March"
Another concert at the Oliver no.
tel will be held Feb. %.
