STREETS ONLY BY COURTESY
Readways In European Cities unpavsd
and Filthy Up to Comparatively
Few Years Ago.

The Oldest pavement Of which there
Is any record In modern cities is that
Of Cordoya, Spain, which was paved
with stones by the Moors in the mid
die of the ninth century. Modern
travellers think the original pavement
cannot have been replaced, 1t Is SO
bad. The Mo0rs also caused water
to be conveyed to the city in leaden
pipes.
Paris was the next city to pave its
streets; but this civic betterment did
not take place until the year 1854, on
which occasion an historian says. "tht
name of the city was changed from
Lutetia. which it had been previous
ly called on account of its filthiness.'
Those old streets must have been
very bad indeed, as 1t was the general
practice OF the citizens to keep swine
which roamed at large and wallowed
In the mire of the public ways.
The streets of London were unpave6
in the eleventh century, and it is un
certain just when the work did begin
Holborn was not paved until 1417
though it was frequently impossible
from the depth of its mud.
Berlin allowed Its streets to go with
out even a clearing or cleaning unit

and until 1851 1t was popular prac

RIDE ON SUNBEAM EXPRESS
Journey That Would BE Remarkable
for Speed and fer Wonders
Seen Along the Way.

Emile Belot, the French astronomer,
suggests that, II one were able to
straddle light ray (which travels
10000 miles a second) and thus voy-
age through space. observations along
the route would be exceedingly inter-
esting.
It would take only little more
than a second to reach the moon and
in 4 minutes and 20 seconds one would
arrive at the planet Mars. One would
get as far as Jupiter in 80 minutes,
to Saturn in 70 minutes, to Uranus In
2h hours and to- Neptune in 4 hours.
On the way one would come across
a great many comets without tails
nebulous bodies Of spherical shape
which are rarely seen from the earth,
It would take two years to get out
side the sphere Of the suns attraction,
and by that time our orb OF day
would look like nothing more import
ant than a big star.
The star nearest to rs. Alpha Gen.
tauri, would meanwhile be looming up.
and the wayfarer through space might
expect to arrive there In little more
than four years By this time he
would have journeyed 24.00o 600, 600
miles.

Lettuee and conversatIon

Lettuce to me Is most interesting
study. 1t Is like conversation; 1t must
be fresh and crisp, so sparkling that
you scarcely notice the bitter in It. Like
most takers lettuce is apt to run rap
idly to seed. Blessed is that kind that
comes to head and so remains, like a
few people know, growing more salts
factory and at the same time whittier
In the center and more crisp. Lettuce,
like conversation, requires good deal
Of oil, to avoid friction, and keep the

dash of pepper, a bit of mustard and
vinegar. but so mixed there will be no
sharp contrasts.

The American Short s,orx,

The secret of the American short
story is the treatment of characteristic
American life, with absolute knowl-
edge of its peculiarities and sympathy
with its methods; with no fastidious
ignoring of Its habitual expression, or
the inchoate poetry that may be found
hidden even in its slang; with no
moral determination except that which
may be the legitimate outcome of the
story itself; with no more elimination
than may be necessary for the. artistic
conception, and never from the fear OF
the fetish Of conyentionalism. OF such
is the American short story of today.

come.-Bret Harte, "The Rise Of the

FAMINE FUND WORK

The American Committee for China

millions of starving famine victims In

rs much more Is needed to carry "the

cessor, President Wilson, has resulted
In such prompt distribution of relief
that the threatened magnitude of the
