HEAVY EMAIL" IN THAT BOX
Incident Once More Proved Truth Of
Saying Concerning Satan and
the Idle Hands.

Three small idle children sat upon
the curb, and without doubt Satan
was seeking mischief for six idle little
bands. Perhaps Satan did put the
thought in the mind of the smallest,
or perhaps it was just the impishness
of childhood. He sat with his eyes
upon the letter box beside him, and
when they had wandered from that
they rested upon two refuse cans in n
basement entry. The cans were full
to overhowing.
Suddenly he scrambled to his feet,
tottered to the cans, filled his hands
with various juicy matter, returned
to the letter box, and, stretching on
tiptoe, just managed to get his cargo
into the top of the box. His compan-
ions saw, comprehended, and sprang
up with yelps of joy. They being
bit bigger and quicker, followed his
example with great success. There
were many busy trips to the refuse
cans; loud, hurried changing of the
letter box. Orange peelngs. potato

NEW LEAFLET ON CLEAN MILK
Liquid of High Grade May Be Easily
Produced by Following Rules
of Carefulness

A leafet on clean milk, showing that
milk of high quality may be easily
produced by following a few simple
rules, has been issued by the dairy
division of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. To produce milk
clean enough to meet all the require
lnents of city inspection is chiefly q
matter of carefulness, and the methods
are not difficult to understand OF
especially hard to carry out for any
one who has the inclination.
The leaflet consists of four pages

tion of milk utensils, (3) use small-top
milking pals, and (4) cool milk
promptly. Each subject is illustrated,
and references are given to bulletins
which explain it further. Keep milk

ing advice.

The board has recently held in
Washington its second national con-
ference on education for highway en-
gineering and highway transport.
There was a large attendance from
all parts of the country and three
days program, In which noted special
lists took part.
The big subject of the conference
was the federal governments pro-
posed program for good roads con.
or fifteen years will be built about
10000 miles of improved highways of
the federal aid system, and the same
mileage of state and local roads. The
cost will be about three billion dollars.
| The discussion was to enable the
board to proceed authorltatively with
its work of devising aids for schools
and colleges to which the road build
ers of the country are turning for
competent highway engineers.
The activities of the board in the
last two years include the following: {:

and colleges in promoting the study
of highway engineering and trans

It undertook the preparation, pub

highway transport, by Lewis w. Nc.

gineering, University of Pittsburgh.
It has worked to bring about re-

highway engineering, with the result
that seven such conferences have been
held-at the Universities Of Pitts.
burgh, Michigan. Yale, Maryland, Ten
nessee and Kentucky and at the Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical college.
Printed copies of the proceedings of
these conferences have been distrib-
uted.
A highway transport exhibit has
been prepared, consisting of good
roads exhibit and a rubber exhibit and
textbook.
Problems of highway economics
have been presented to about 100000
high school students through the
means of a national essay contest on
highway economics conducted in 1921
and 1922.
A national safety campaign was in
augurated by the board in 1921 and
is being repeated this year.
