FOOLED THE JUDGE

The juryman ran breathlessly in
to the courtroom.
ooh, your honor" he exclaimed.
''If you can excuse me. please,
please do! l don't know which will
die first-my wife or my daughter"
Dear me, that's sad" said the
judge. Certainly you are excused"
The next day the juryman was
met by one of his fellow jurors, who
in sympathetic voice asked: "How's
your wife,"
"She's all right. Why do you ask?'
"And your daughter?"
"She's all right, too. Why do you
ask"
'Why, yesterday you told the
Judge that you did not know which
would die first"
Nor do I. That is problem that
time alone can solve" Pittsburgh

The University of Wisconsin has

Wisconsin Conservation commission
and will erect a number of buildings

more or less students to the lake for
field work and in the past they have
occupied tents. Buildings will be a

PRESIDENT URGES YOUNG
MEN TO ENTER TRAIN
ING CAMPS

Washington.-President Hard
ing urges every young man who
can possibly arrange to do so to
attend one of the citizens military
training camps to be conducted by
the War Department this summer.
In statement just made public
he expressed the hope that during
his administration arrangements
will be completed for giving mill
tary training to at least 100000
young men each year.
The text OF the statement said.
Il hope every young man who
can arrange it will attend one OF
the citizens military training
camps to be conducted this sum
mer by the War Department in
each of the nine Army corps areas.
In this way he will increase
his worth to the nation and OBJ
tain individual benefits of price
less value TO himself and to the
community in which he lives.
Il hope to see established during
my administration a comprehen-
sive system Of voluntary military
training for at least 100000 men
each year. Every young man who
is willing to prepare himself for
the defense OF his country should
be given an opportunity to do so.
Our present National Defense
Law established an economical
and domestic military policy thor
oughly consistent with our ma
tional traditions. 1t provides for
small regular army to be aug
mented by great citizen forces in
the event of national emergency.
This is our traditional military
policy But whereas in the past
these larger war forces have
been extemporized after the occur
renee of an emergency, the new
law provides that the framework
of their organization shall be es-
tablished and developed in time
of peace in so far as this is prac-
ticahle through the voluntary
5viVi6e Of 0uf pdtriOuIc young men.
The Army of the United States. as
defined In the new law, comprises
the regular Army the National
Guard and the organized reserves.
Every patriotic citizen should en-
courage the development of these
forces. each within its proper
sphere"

state Faces Loss Of Road Funds.
Annapolis-While Congress daiiies
with bills to provide Federal aid for
road construction, time Is slipping BY,
and State officials express the fear
that the result will be no appropriation
at all for 1921.
This would be a grave setback to
road building in Maryland. Chairman
Mackall Of the Roads Commission has
said as much; so has Governor Richie.
The reason that Maryland is especially
Interested in the passage of a Federal
aid bill is this:
Maryland is one of the few States
four, according to figures given Gov
ernor Ritchie which has matched
every dollar of previous Federal ap-
preparations with State funds. II
Maryland is to employ Federal funds
in road construction this year, the
money will have to come from a 1921
appropriation.
With the great majority of States
the case is different, it is pointed out

ing programs far enough to have ex-
hausted previous Federal approprla.
tions. they will have a margin of Fed
eral aid to work on. even If no 1921
appropriation is made. 1t is explained
But Maryland has laid out its 1921
program and the execution Of this
program is based to a considerable ex.
tent on the assumption that a Federal
appropriation would be received. Such
an appropriation would amount to
about sS5O,0OO and the State is pre-
pared to match the Federal appropria-
tion dollar for dollar

were designed to prevent excessive

committees is likely to result, it is
said Such a conference would take
time, the deliberations of statesmen
being truly deliberate Meanwhile
July l. the beginning of the Federal
fiscal year Of 1922 is approaching. If
there is much more deliberation about
