Excerpts That Stand Alone

In 1.-THE Over-Soul" Emerson, in excerpts,
says, 1--WE grant that human life is mean, but
how did we find out that it was mean? What is
the universal sense of want and ignorance but
the fine innuendo by which the great soul makes
it's enormous claim? Man is stream whose
source is hidden What we commonly call man,
the eating drinking, planting, counting man, does
not, as we know him, represent himself, but mis-
represents. himself A man is the facade of a
temple wherein all wisdom and all good abide.
We are nothing but the light is ALL" The Over
Soul is that overpowering reality which con-
flutes our tricks and talents and constrains every
one to pass for what he is, and to speak from his
character and not from his tongue
"We see the world piece by piece, as the sun,
the moon, the ANIMAL the tree; but the whole, OF
which these are the shining parts, is the SOUL
Only by the vision of that wisdom can the horo-
scope of the ages be read, and by falling back on
our better thoughts, by yielding to the spirit OF
prophecy which is innate in every man that
we can know what it saith Every mans words
who speaks from that life must sound vain to
those who do not dwell in the same thought on
their own part.
The learned and the studious of thought have
no monopoly of wisdom. Their violence of direc-
ton in some degree disqualifies them to think
truly" In other words the specialized thinker
or student immersed in his speciality, lacks per-
spective to grasp the meaning of the whole. I'VE
owe many valuable observations to people who
are not very acute or profound, and who
say the thing without effort which we want an6
have long been hunting in vain
''The action of the soul is oftener in that

reality to them than to all other experiences.

Road Building A Big Industry
BY FREDERICK J. HASKiN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - Road
building in the United States is one
of the nations largest industries, a
million men being employed last year
throughout the construction season at
building and repairing the country
highways. The roads completed of all
classes totalled nearly $4,000 miles,
all most enough to girdle the earth at
the equator 1t was the banner year
in road building in the United States
'We are accustomed to thinking OF
manufacturing of steel, iron and the
making of automobiles as tremendous
productive enterprises" said Thomas
H. Mcdonald, director of the Federal
Bureau of Public Roads, "but these
institutions, great as they are ARE still
not as large as the business of high.

of Public Roads calls for construction

Of at least 10000 miles of federal aid
highways during the 1922 road build
ing season. Programs of 16 states so
far submitted to the bureau call for
as much more new or improved high
ways.
According to the government fig
ures, there are 100000 miles of i'm
proved highways or roadways in the
United States, and about 100000
miles of mere roadways.
The construction of a national sys-
tenn of highways, which is now in full
swing, was provided for by an act of
congress of 1916, and an amendatory
act of 1921. Both acts call for a ma
tional system of connected roads, each
road a link in the national chain,
bearing it's due proportion of Interstate
traffic, serving with well-placed lateral
roads to distribute and collect the traf-
fic of the rural section.

consciously or unconsciously, for the purpose Of
exalting yourself while you debase your fellow
citizen.
Gossip with evil intent does not spring from
pure fountain head or a genuine desire to help
the person whose character is besmirched and
his or her good name tramped in the gutter.
If men and women really sought to reform
and uplift the objects of their venomous attacks
they would confer privately with them, seek first
hand information, give them the benefit OF the
doubt, and put the best construction on every
thing, provided the facts warranted it.
Malicious gossip usually is the child of hasty
! judgment and superficial knowledge. The char
acter of man and woman often is defiled by
gosspers whose only proof is information that
rests on the flimsy basis, Il heard it, Try to
trace back scandal yarn to it's source, and you
will seldom be able to find person who actually
saw the occurrence or heard the statement which
has given rise to the gossip.
| The damage done by idle gossip is incalcul-
able. If it caused heartaches and worry only
to the persons who directly affected, its eff
fects might be mitigated, but the whole commun-
| ity is made to bear the brunt of the attacks Of
the scandal mongers.
The malicious spirit back of gossip the de-
structive factor which poisons the mind and
warps the judgment, precludes absolutely or
hinders papably the development of constructive
agencies in the community. If our minds are
! filled with punitive thoughts and malicious sug-
gestions, their capacity to entertain and cherish
uplifting thoughts and policies is curtaied. The
good finds no opportunity to plan and execute,
/ because the evil predominates and has mastery
; OF our minds.
An entirely different social atmosphere pre-
walls in cities where the good in men and women
is constantly stressed as compared with those
where their faults and weaknesses are eagerly
sought for and exploited. You find true neigh
borlness and community cooperation in cities
whose inhabitants do not constantly mpugn each
others motives search for chances to assail each
others characters, and maintain centers of il
feeling, rancor and bitterness.
No city can go ahead so long the brakes
are kept locked by persons, who, in misguided
zeal, find fault, denounce and condemn their fel
low citizen without ascertaining the facts, ano
who seem to revel in unalloyed joy when they
are able to say something derogatory of their
characters.
! We wonder by how many degrees the happi
. ness of our own city could be increased if we
stopped gossiping? Suppose all of us would
trace back to its source every bit OF gossip that
came to our ears before we repeated it. How
many of the yarns involving the good repute oil
many of our men and women would be substan
tiated in fact? Would we not be performing :
genuine service to our city?

Il Federal Aid for States.
H The national highway act was pass
ed by congress in 1913. 1t required
the creation of a highway department
in all states as a condition of the al
iotment of Federal aid Seventeen
states created highway departments as
the result of that act and many others
were strengthened and given larger
funds.
The 1922 program of the Bureau OF
Public Roads calls for construction
work in all of the 4S states. Under
the system, where the state agrees
on project and to the type of high
way to be built, the federal govern
ment spends dollar for dollar with the
state. Some of the states, such as
New York. Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois, while taking federal
aid on some projects, independently
