COUNTY ROAD WORK.

Detailed report shows that during
the calendar year 1921 the sum OF
$3.50, 100 was expended under the au-
thority OF the Levy Court OF New
Castle county for the construction OF
improved roads and new bridges. In
all, twenty-three miles of new road
were built, and six new bridges. Plans
are In contemplation for the expendi-
ture OF about a half million dollars
for similar purposes during the year
1922.
The figures for last year sound very
impressive, in consideration of what
appears, comparatively. to be n some
what small product In new roads. But
It must be remembered that II costs

the illiteracy in the United States was
as follows. per cent or 1,242,572 of
the native white population, 10 years

Q. How fast will the submachine-

A. You refer probably to the

Uncommon
Sense ;Saz slz;a
KEEP BRAKES IN ORDER

A 7 THE approach to every danger.
Gus turn of state road is sign
which reads:
GO SLOW.
The autOmobilist who has keen
sense and good brakes heeds the warn
ing. He gets around the turn with
out anything happening to him.
The speed maniac. or the man whose
brakes are out of order. keeps right
on. And we usually read of one or
both in the accident columns of the
newspapers, sooner or later.
The road we all must take is pretty
well marked with warnings. although
ii takes experience to read some of
them.
If we have the brake called will
power. and keep it in trim. we have
nothing to fear from the dangerous
places.
If our judgment is bad and our will
power likely TO give way we never get
where we are going except in very
badly damaged condition.
There is no occasion for such great
hurry that the warning signs must be
oyer-run.
On the road to wealth, and especial
~ the road TO pleasure, the warnings
are very abundant.
Yet thousands and thousands of
people run past them every day, with
the usual disastrous results.
There is little enough time i'm the
average life. We must all work rap
idly If we are to get good hfetime's
work accomplished in the working
years that are allotted us.
But we can always slow down at the
risky corner. provided we keep our
will power in condition, and use the
judgment that ought TO be a part of
our makeup.
The TOO much play" turn in the
road is more dangerous than the too
much work" corner, but it is well to
slow up at both Of them.
Then the "oyerindulgence" and "late
hour spots call for almost a halt.
Read all the signs and observe them.
II is delightful TO speed along the
road and feel that we shall get where
we are going in Jig time.
But many speeders who do not see
or heed the warnings, never get where
they are going at all.
And when they are piled up in the
hospital or the sanitarium or told by
grave-faced doctor to bid their FAINT
lies last good-by, thee begin to see
the sense in stringing these signs
along the road. and to wish they had
kept their brakes in order.

And representations two

She couldn't. climb Slumber Hill
So she rides a knee the journey

In the quaint old house they softly
creep
AS the sun sinks In the west;
And kneeling there in the silence deep
They whisper their "lay me down to
