Why shouldn't the nations of the

HIGHWAY OFFICIALS

New rulings brought about by the
new federal aid law will be threshed
out at the annual meeting of state
highway officials which will be held
in Omaha the coming week, accord
ing to Thomas Maddox, state en-
gineer, who accompanied by Merrill

Among other matters that will
come up for discussion will be the
regulation of traffic. 1t is believed
that at this meeting, which will be
held at the same time as the con-
ference of federal aid engineers. en-
dorsement will be given to move

eminent refusing to contribute to any
road construction involving pavement
unless the state agrees to protect the
pavement from traffic which destroys
it.
Another question that will come UP
for discussion will be whether it is
necessary to secure the approval OF
states on forest aid roads. Mr.. Mad
dock contends that in View of the
fact that the states do not contribute
one cent TO the construction, the
state should have no voice in the
matter.

RABBITS INSTINCT AT FAULT
Probably Would Have Died In Trap From Which It Might Have
 Escaped With Ease.

I have, seen a bird tethered to it's breeding place-its feet held fast by the hairs which lined It's nest-but, until the other day had never known or heard of a rabbit being caught in a snare of its own devising, writes an observer of nature. Tn an old pas ture in Middle Teviotdale, where the grass grows rank beside the old haw- thorn hedge which fences the field, a rabbit was seen to be struggling as If striving to escape from a snare. On going up to the spot, found that the hind legs of the rabbit were firmly bound together with ropes" of grow ing grass. Apparently the little cap tive had been rolling itself among the grass, and, In the process, had un- willingly woven It's own bonds. The rabbit had evidently been a prisoner for some days, being thin in body and feeble from the effects of its fruitless struggles for liberty, while the ground around the tufts of grass to which it was fastened was closely crdpped
 though seemingly instinct had never suggested that it might have eaten away its "chains. ."-The Weekly Scots. man. tr,l~n

Wall of praaons of PekLn.

The dragon screen of Pekin is hid den behind a hillock in the winter pal ace grounds. It is a wall perhaps 20 feet high and 100 long, faced completely with tile cast to represent nine large-size dragons in bas relief, of various colors-yellow, purple, buff, maroon, orange-dancing gayly above emerald pillows against a pale blue sky. Most sculptured Chinese dragons are lifeless, angular beasts; but here there is an almost un-Chinese vigor and audacity in the spring and twist of the 1.-the bodies. They leap, whirl, lunge, and writhe until the spectator steps back, half afraid that they will come tumbling off the screen, striking at the unwary with their sturdy claws. There are, believe, critics who teach that plastic art should never under take to portray moments of activity. If this be correct, the dragons stand condemned; but if the sculptor may ever rightly give us life in Its vivid, moving moments, here is a master piece.-Exchange

BURGLARS IN NORFOLK
Two Summer Residences Entered
 and Ransacked

Norfolk had a burglar scare Satur- day night. Fred Preston of the mo- tor behicle department was passing along Laurel Way when he saw light in the summer home Of Amos Barnes of New Haven, situated next the property of the late Theodore Lyman of Hartford. Thinking that burglars were operating in the house, Preston hurried to the village, gath cred together about 20 eX-service men and others, and returned to the Barnes place. The house was sur rounded and Shen several men en- tered the dwelling, the door of which was opened with the caretaker's key. Examination revealed that the sput- tering light seen by Preston and others was caused by a loose electric lamp connection.
 Unidentified parties entered the summer residence of Lawyer H. T. Parmalee of New Haven last week and thoroughly ransacked the place. Whether anything of value was taken is not known.
 The discovery was made Monday that the summer residence of Dr. E. H. Peaslee of New York city had been broken into and ransacked. The intruder used candle to light his way, the floors being dotted with grease marks. The housebreaker is believed to have been the same party who entered the summer home of Attorney Henry F. Parmalce of New Haven, because floors in the latter house also were spotted with candle wax. Entrance to the Peaslee house was through a window by means of a chisel which was left behind.
