To Harriet, who turned to Longfellow
and other pretty writer's for consolr-

to the last & figure Of perfection. The
girl was developed and nourished in
an atmosphere OF psternal platitude
and literary posies.
Harriet existed always within the

The intelligent employment Of one S
savings constitutes quite as import
ant part of thrift as the practices of
saving
Current newspapers are constantly
recording the dismal stories of poor
people whose savings have been lost
through various schemes of fraudul-
ent or worthless investment and con-
slant allurements are being held out
by INSCRIPTIONS persons who make
offers of fabulous returns TO those
who are willing TO entrust their hard
earned savings to them. 1t should De
borne in mind that any form OF invest
menl suggestive OF abnormal returns
should be viewed with suspicion.
In Chicago, New York and several
other cities quite recently men have
been brought before tue bar of justice
for defrauding the unwary in amounts
aggregatiGg hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. These operations work terrible
hardships. Those who are robbed are
quite often poor widows or elderly
persons who through these misfort-
unes are made paupers for the rest of
their lives, 1t is not enough that the
eharletaus who invent and execute
these fraudulent schemes are given
the penalty of the law.
Every possible step should be taken
to prevent repetitions of these lamen-
table conditions.
Greater public along prac-
teal lines is necessary. Those WHO
come in contact with the poor and
Iilliterate should become qualified to
discuss these matters intelligently
with them and be able to point out the
dangers of entrusting their precious
savings 10 persons who offer eNtraya-
giant rewards.
There is not enough general under
standing of the most simple funda-
mentals of finance 1t is too easy fer
the mountebank to appeal to the inn
aglnatiCn and creduGty of his prey
The greatest barrier against fraud
ispractical education Those who as.
sumo leadership in public thought
have not discharged their duties when
they teach the thrift that consists only
In saving money and those who are in

/ ions on personal economies should

Should Use Given Names.

With the approach Of election wo-
men would do we'll to take note 81 the
decision of Judge q y Risjord, OF
Ashland, that they must use their Civ
en- names in voting or in signing papers
in order that the signature viii be le-
gal. It's not sufficient that they use
the first name or initials Of their hns-
bands. The decision Of Judge iiisjord
was occasioned by petition for the
formation Of a new town in Ashland
county which came before him for le-
gal Interpretation 1t reads
IF insuhiciency Of name upon the
petition appears, it must be rejected
when it comes to determining whether
a majority has signed the petition.
That is true also as to the signatures
purporting to have been made by
married women, where they have
used not only the husbands surname
but also his given name or initials.
doubt that those names can be
counted on the petition. II seems to
me that the point is well taken that
those are not names at all.
"The use of such name Is, to say
the least, indefinite and uncertain,
and II would be very difficult to get
at the fact as to whether they are,
what they purport to be, freeholders
or electors, and who they are, IN the
cases where the women are freehold
ers.
IF their given name appeared upon
the petition it could be easily deter
mined by anyone interested, and IN
preparation for.
ITO ascertain from the records, for
instance, " neither Mrs. A. b Jones
is resident freebooter, one going to
the record and finding number of
Jones, with female names, might
have some difficulty in determining
who of those was Mrs. A. b Jones.
lin these modern days of complete
business independence OF women, IT
is essential that their identity be
maintained by the use of their own
names.
Not only must the women realize
that they must use their own given
names, but also must other persons in
community learn to know married
women by their given names. w hen
questionnaires were sent out to find
out if women wished to serve on the
jury, many women did not receive the
letters addressed to them by their
given names, because the postmaster
did not know who they were.

Four Types of Street Paving

More than half of the street paving
in cities between 5000 and % 900
population in the United States is
limited to- four types, according to a
survey the results of which are pub
lished by the City Managers Associa-
ton.
Information gathered from city en-
gineers reveals the character of street
pavements in cities of this size, and
shows the respective mileage and
average age of the oldest pavement
of each type in use.
The survey covers total of $50
miles, the following types comprising
"a per cent of the total:
Asphaltic concrete 1872 miles, Gem
ent concrete $40 miles, sheet asphalt
452 miles, vitrified brick 2O2.3 miles
The remaining 46 per cent is com
posed of nine miscellaneous and less
durable types, half OF this proportion
being of the macadam family.
The average age of the oldest pave
ment of each type still in service is
reported as follows:
Asphaltic concrete years, cement
concrete rs years, sheet asphalt Il
