In standing by the creation of q

throughout the United States among
road men, that the time has come
when transportation on the highways

ROAD
BUILDING
SEES NEED OF FEDERAL AID
Road Congress Favors Creation OF
Highway Transportation Bureau
Roads Lead to Wealth.

Creation of q permanent natonal
bureau of transportation, together
With continuance of state OrganiZa-
tions. has been recommended as one
of the most important steps In the
work of construction. Without at
tempting to seize any credit for them
selves, it is the opinion of highway
officials that such investigations as
had been undertaken in the several
states of the Union had disclosed an
immediate economic need for the con-
tinuance Of the work which has Tor
lis basis elimination of waste effort
in transportation, with resultant de-
crease of living costs, as an imnedl-
ate development of the vast potential
resources of the nation now lying dor
mant for want OF means of convey
ance.
As a result of the deliberations of
a meeting in Chicago the committee
went on record as faVorinS these
points: The enactment by congress
of an amendment to the present fed
eral aid road act, which would pro
vide SJ00,000,0O0 for work on the
reads of the United States during the
next seven years; the creation of a
federal highway commission OF five
skilled engineers who should have
Charge of the expenditure of this fund

miSoners of the various states; the
construction of a national system OF
highways, the location of which is to
be determined by the commission and
the supervision of which is 10 remain
in charge of the state highway de-
partments. and, finally, changes in the
present federal aid act which would
do away with the restrictions now
limiting federal aid to roads Oh 40
per cent of the mileage of which
there is post delivery and of the lin
itdtiOn of $4,000 per mile under fed
eral aid.
Reports from all sections of the
country showed that il has been pos
sible to bring about very marked
increase in marketing through i'm

road would stand the traffic. The con-

Paying in Dresden China.

Little pieces of red-brown china
bearing the usual Dresden mark are
being passed from hand TO hand in
SaxOsy. 1t is not that people are bar
tering their cups and saucers or are
getting rid of the contents of their
china cupbOards, nor are they making
each other presents of the delicate
porcelain for which the mark of Ores
den has been noted.
A new coinage in porcelain has been
put into circulation to suprsede small
paper money, and one of its valuable
assets is the fact that it can be
washed, so no one need complain OF
dirty money. The little red-brown
discs have met with hearty welcome,
and the factory of Meissen has never
sent out anything more popular than
these little pieces of china that are
too small for q plate, too shallow to
hold water and not adorned with any
thing but the most simple devices.

Something to

HARD-WORKING MOUSE

attracted to a crowd which had gath

As the crowd next to the window
satisfied its curiosity and moved on
| gradually came to see that fifteen or
twenty human beings of which l was
about TO become one, had been watch
ing the activities of q small white
mouse which was the temporary resi-
dent Of a new and shiny cage.
At the top of the cage was a sort of
nest attached to the wires and filled
with bits Of cotton. Below in the floor
of the cage was a feeding box and in
front of that a fat tin disk, some six
inches in diameter, so tilted upon a
pivot axle, that If you placed any
weight upon any part Of it that part
which bore the weight would immedi-
ately turn so that 1t would be the low

self would always be travelling uphill
and getting nowhere.
The white mouse pursued program
about after this plan: He would rest
for few minutes In his nest. Then
he would climb down the side of the
cage to the food box, nibble for a min
ute and then running around to the
front of the floor Of the cage he would
jump down upon the disk and as he
did so the disk would begin to revolve.
The faster he ran. In his attempt TO
climb, the faster the disk would re-
vOlve, with the mouse always at the
bottom.
For three or four minutes at a time
the mouse would run as fast as he
could. A human being running as
fast as that mouse, In proportion to
his size and weight, would have gone
ten or twelve miles at a marvellous
rate Of speed.
After his period of running the
mouse would suddenly stop, the disk
would cease to revolve, he would 20 to

only to repeat the whole performance
over again.
The mouse during the time that he
was running appeared TO be putting
forth every physical effort of which
he was possessed. He was doing
everything that he could so far as
running was concerned. BUT HE
WAS GETTING NOWHERE.
He landed right where he began at
the bottom of the disk.
He had burned out his mouse
energy, exhausted his mouse condition
and the result was NOTHING.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"MARM AlADE."

TT WAS early in the Fifteenth
l. century that French epicures
began TO take notice Of a new
and particularly delicious sweet
meat that was beginning to come
over the border from Spain. 1t
appeared to be a kind of thick
jam, well favored and with a
body which gave It distinctly
more of q taste than the rather
fiat preserves which were In
vogue at that time. Inquiring
into the source of this delicacy,
the Parisians found that 1t came
from Portugal, where the ma
tives had discovered the knack
Of treating ounces In such a
manner that they made a paste
or preserve of exceptional quail
ity and appetizing flavor. Be-
cause of the fact that the Portu-
guese word for ounce is mar
melO," the name ''marmalade"
was applied to this preserve
which, upon being introduced
into England, became extremely
popular.
During the Nineteenth CEN
fury the English became very
proficient in the making of Or
ange marmalade, and practically
captured the world trade In this
commodity until American ge-
MUS added a new tang and
flavor at an even lower price.
The fact that oranges were al
most universally used for the
manufacture Of this product OBJ
scured the original derivation of
the word, and today marmalade
is generally understood to mean
a thick jam made from oranges,
while, as q matter of fact, IL
should be applied only to that
which is made from ounces.
Even "orange marmalade" is a
misnOmer, as a literal transla-
ton of the term would be "or-
ange-quince preserve"

CLERICAL WORK

Turing the war women went into
II railroad work in large numbers,
and took over jobs that were unsuited
to them, because the need was there
to be filed. Since peace has come
they have left these positions. But
many women are still working for the
railroads in clerical positions and they
are liked for the work. The salaries
are good, and the treatment of the
women is said TO he excellent. Where
these are required the railroads have
provided rest and lunch rooms, and
there are matrons whose business ii is
to see that the women are comfortably
situated and cared for.
In the banks, too. women are going
more and more into clerical work.
They are working as cashiers and as
sistant cashiers, and in the branches

efforts which would end by leaving
them right where they started.

The mouse demonstrated good les
son. He taught those who watched
him-if they thought at all about the
thing they were looking at-that every
man and woman ought every little
while take a look around and see IL
they are going ahead, If they are ad-
vancing, if they are adding something,
however little, to what life and its eff
forts should accumulate In wealth, ex-
perience and wisdom.
The merchant who never takes ac-
count of stock, who keeps no books,
who has no way Of checking his bust
ness, is pretty much at sea as to
whether he is q success or a failure,
whether he is making money or losing.
The man who goes through life
without checking up his efficiency,
taking account of his accomplishments
or balancing his efforts against his &C.
emulation cannot have any very de-
pendable idea of what his efforts are
amounting to.
There are too many of us who, like
the mouse, let our lives consist of
working, eating and sleeping, without
knowing definitely what we are &C.
complishing.
If the mouse had the intelligence to
know that his great effort in running
on the tin disk really amounted to
nothing In results he would devote
himself to something more worthwhile.
Perhaps If we made an honest esti-
mate Of what We are doing and what
the results are We would stop being
foolish and turn to something more
productive and more to our credit.
the thing for us to do Is to make an
honest estimate of what we are doing
and what 1t truly amounts to and
guide our future endeavors accord
ingly.
