people with your wet umbrella.
In many homes there is an umbrella
receptacle in the vestibule and when
entering you can very conveniently
leave your wet umbrella there. Your
rubbers can also be slipped off in the
vestibule. In other houses there is an
entrance hall in which it is more con-
venient to deposit your wet umbrella
and rubbers, but whatever you do, do
not cling to these wet possessions
when you go into the living quarters
of the house.
If friends come TO your house on a
rainy day 1t is only the part of hospi-
tally to offer aid in removing their
damp garments and in urging them to
take a chair near the fire or other
heat.
IL you have accepted an invitation
for certain day and it chances to be
rainy you should not permit that fact
to keep you from being present unless
by so doing you would actually be en-
dangering your health.

Fifteen TO twenty years of building
good roads lie ahead of the United
States. Under the program which the
country has adopted there will be
built, during that time, 10000 miles of
improved highways which will consti-
tute the federal-aid highway system and
an equal or greater mileage of state
and local roads. When the great job
is done, the transportation facilities
of the country will far exceed those
of any other nation, past or present, in
the world. The highways of the an
cient Romans, whose fame has come
down through the centuries, will pale
by comparison.
Details of this vast bodybuilding
program were placed before the High
way Education board at its recent con-
ference in Washington by state high
way engineers and officials of the
bureau of public roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, to whom
has been entrusted the work of plan
ming and supervising the construction

of federal-aid highways. The plan
was presented to enable the board to
proceed authoritatively with its work
of devising aids for schools and col
leges to which road-builders Of the
country are turning for competent
highway engineers.
Aggregate Cost $4,000, 600, 900.
Officials of the bureau place the ag-
gregate cost of the federal-aid program
alone at about $3,OOO,OOO,OO0, spread
over the twenty-year period. They
base this estimate on an average cost
of $4,000 per mile. The average cost,
in turn, takes into consideration all
classes of improved roadways from
the cheapest to the most expensive
types. Approximately one-third of the
proposed system, or 10000 miles of
improved highways, already are either
built or building.
The program is a new one. Up to

the root of that word is ''perahta." How

that Perahta, or Bertha, was a sacred

FARM CONVERTED INTO LAKE
Kaw River, When 1t Goes on RAM
page, Evidently No Respecter
of Personal Property.

The ravages of the Kaw river In
Kansas were brought forcibly to the
attention of the Wyandotte county
commission recently when one of the
commissioners, Samuel Clarke, ac
cOmpanied a farmer to the latter's
farm to be shown the need of new
drainage district applied for.
When they reached the farm site
the land, $50 acres, had disappeared
and in its place was lake of water.
The owner, who was interested in
the drainage district by reason of the
danger TO his farm because of the
kaw river cutting through near Lor-
ing, Kan, had not been to the site
for several days and supposed his
place was still safe. AS they came
upon a hill, where it could be viewed,
he said, ''There it is. My goodness,
it's gone!"
1t was. All that remained was a
small hill and an island, and the water
was still rising.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BUxOM"

WHEN Milton, in Paradise
w Lost" speaks of ''winging
silently the buXom air." it is at
once apparent that the word
''buxom" must have had some
meaning at that time different
from the currently accepted one
of rosy and plump. We might
refer to strong healthy woman
as buxom, but we would never
apply the adjective to the air.
In Millions time, however, the
word had just changed its spell
ing from "boughsome," form
which gives clue to its primary
meaning Of yielding or bending
like the boughs of tree.
"Buxom," TO Milton, was prac-
tically the equivalent Of our
present-day plant" The first
change, merely one of form,
came when the "gh" began to
lose its cultural sound and
cough" was elided into the SIM
gle letter "x." Then, after the
lapse Of a number of years,
gradual alteration of the word
began TO take place, probably
due, as Doctor johnson suggests.
to a too liberal construction CT
the brides promise in the old
English marriage ceremony TO be
"obedient and buxom Tor yield
ing) in bed and in board" In
time, therefore, it came TO be
applied TO full-bloOded women
who were enormously thought
likely to be careless of virtue.
Hence it now means plump,
rosy, alluring, and is applied only
TO women who combine these
qualities Of figure. face and ex-
pre- ssion.
