INCOME FOR STREETS.

When it is realized that nearly TO-
900, 900 trucks and automobiles are
dashing over the highways OF this
country every day it behooves moi
only the nation, but the states, the
counties, and particularly the munich
p~alities 10 take the road question into
serious consideration. Most munich
palities experience great trouble with
their roads, always in the early spring
when the frost is leaving the ground
In man sections of the country local
roads are all but impossible. When
the earth is soft and is then churned
into mud following rain or snow and
forced into impossible ruts by heavy
automobile traffic, a frost to harden
the surface is looked forward to with
dread. In sections where streets are
permanently improved the destruction
of the roadways by heavy motor
traffic spells heavy expenditure for
upkeep, and on the other hand where
lack OF sewerage prohibits the con
cretine of roads the situation is even
worse. Unfortunately most of the
states prohibit the municipalities from
fixing license fees. The states prefer
to gather in the money themselves.
In return, however, they do nothing
more than keep in repair the state
roads and so the authorities in mu-
inequalities are placed on the horns OF
a dilemma. They must bear the de
struction of the motor truck without
having any means to repair the dam
age.
The motor truck is here to stay. In
1916 the trucks numbered $4,000; IN
1918, $50. 600; in 1921, 1896 900, an in.
crease of more than 100000 in five
wears. The short haul for the railroad
has gone, and the people face the
problem OF an open franchise over the
roadways without providing a proper
income producing machinery to take
care of the w~reckage. National action
is likely to come in conjunction with
the states, but unless the country
awakens to the situation the farmer
and the dweller in the vast expanses
of country America will once more be
made the goat.

MIXING BRAINS WITH STEAK.

An e%nterprising butcher in a little
town close to the big city of New
York has demonstrated at least to his
own satisfaction that the brains he
uses in his business are better money
getters than the brains he sells over
the counter. He sells ~porterhouse
steak Just like his competitor, but he
sells twice the quantity, and all be
cause he found a way to turn into
appreciation the silent protest of the
housewife who always has been re-
sentful at having to pay a high price
for the end of the steak which, when
cooked, ordinarily is waste. Sensing
this resentment our thinking butcher
found a way out. He cut off the end
and left the body of the steak thick
and compact. Then he put the end
through a meat chopper, patted it
into an attractive form and made of
it an additional tenderloin. The eff
feet on the housewife buyers was cleo
trical. Now our friend is known as
the butcher who speeializes in the
best quality of steak, and he gets and
holds the majority trade.
Plus the brains to think out the
plan he had the brains to carry his
idea to local attention through his
local newspaper instead of waiting
for the slow mouth to mouth method
of spreading the news. Hence his
financial reward came to him over
night. Mixing brains with merchan-
disc is as necessary to successful
trade as mixing brains with ink is
necessary to successful writing.

WON FAME AS SEA FIGHTER
Scandinavian Hero Also the Center of
Many Legends That Have En-
deared Him to Posterity.

One Of the great Scandinavian
heroes of modern times was Tordenks-
jold, who rose from the rank of naval
cadet to admiral in eight years, and
died at the age of thirty, and is ac-
counted today as naval strategist of
the first order 1t was TOrdenksjOld
who, by his operations against Charles
MI of Sweden, preserved the freedom
of his native Norway and saved the in
segrity of Denmark.
All his experiences were exceed
ingy cOl0Tful and picturesque, so much
So indeed, that legend has been busy
in providing him with an array of adj
ventures which undoubtedly never hap
pened. One of these is the story that
when a boy, he sat down on a grind
stone to wear out the leather patches
which had been put on the seat of his
trousers as a punishment for tearing
his clothes. Once he pursued frigate
much larger than his own until his
ammunition gave out. He sent word
to the enemy, inviting the commander
to come aboard for a glass of wine and
asking whether he would lend some
powder to continue the fight 1t was
this sort Of bravado which his age
delighted in. He was killed in duel
in 1920.

VOICE RETAINS ITS QUALITY
Fixed Feature of Human Vocal Or
gans Which Is Regarded as Some-
thing of a Phenomenon.

The changes that come with age,
observes the editor Of the New York
Medical Journal, are 50 manifold and
striking that we are inclined to over
look the persistence through the years
Of the quality of the voice, and yet
this one fixed feature is remarkable.
Even those who have lost most sem
blance to their former selves have not
lost to any extent the peculiar organs
of their voice.
When one notes that the organs
which, in their functioning and, hence.
in their structure, have SO endured,
are relatively small and delicate and
in very frequent use, the phenomenon
is Of create iG'r" I. A vocal appar-
;tus may b. Injured e. worn BY over
use, and the power / a singer does
not last for life. But, though its tieHl-
bility, power and range may diminish,
for ordinary purposes the quality of
speech remains easily recognizable
and apparently but slightly influenced,
compared with the all-tOo-apparent de-
cay ard destruction which has gone
forward with the passage Of decade

Oldest Known Paint,

White lead is the very oldest light
colored paint of which anything is
known. 1t was mentioned by the
Greek general, XenOphon, who wrote
some 400 years B. c. 1t was made by
putting vinegar in jar then some
twigs to support the layers Of lead
above the vinegar. After the lead was
placed on the twigs the jar was COW
cred to keep out the dirt and buried
in stable manure. The manure fer
mented, produced gentle heat and
also carbOnic acid gas.
When the jar was opened after a
considerable period the lead would
be cOrroded under the influence or
the heat and gas. Thus a large pro-
portion of the lead would be changed
into a fine white powder which would
be purified and used as a pigment for
paint.

This Fits Most of Us.

Henry Ward BeeCher so the story
goes, was once asked by a young
preacher how be could make his con-
gregatiOn keep wide awake and atten-
tive during his sermons. Bcecher re-
piled that he always had Il man watch
for sleepers, with instructions, us soon
as he saw anyone start nOdding or
doing, to hasten to the pulpit and
wake up the preacher. Aren't you and
/ usually less sensible? Would we
not be inclined to have the watcher
wake up, not ourselves, but the fell
lows caught sleeping? In other words,
aren't we disposed always to blame
others? When things go wrong in an
organization the president usually
feels it is necessary for him to shake
up his associates. His associates, in
turn, usually start kicking up ructions
with those under them. And workers,
when they are dissatisfied, usually lay
the blame, not at their own door but
at the door of the foreman or the de-
partment head or the big boSs-some-
body, anybody, except ourselves.
How about adding this Beecher
squib to what we always carry around
with us in our mind?-Forbes Maya

HAVE KEPT GALLO QUALITY
People of AnatoIia Believed to Be Sur
Vivors of Those Who Founded
Ancient Galatia.

Below the surface of the general
Turkish Moslem unity of Anatolia Of
today singular strains appear, both
religious and racial. In the central
ranges of the Pontiac range, for in
stance lie the villages of Il people
called in Turkish, "ki3ilbashes"-
"Redheads." They differ markedly in
physical type from the other AnatO.
liam peasants about them, being either
light brunette or blond. The boards
of the men are light brown and curly,
unlike those of the Turks. They are
in all probability the survivors of old
Gallo tribes who hewed their way
into central Anatolia in the Third CEN
fury before Christ. founded the Gala
tian Kingdom, and later accepted Chris
tanlty. They now profess to be EI?-
hammedans. But they do things that
no orthodox Turk will do, writes w.
J.. WeStermann in Asia Magazine.
Their women, for example, go I'M
yelled; and they eat with the men.
Once q year a priest appears among
them and in secret they partake of
the communion. These Kizilbashes
represent a case of incomplete CONVEX
sion to Islam, as well as incomplete
racial mixture. Throughout the Near
East many such strange survivals are
TO be found, broken bits of ancient
peoples of primitive Christian beliefs,
even of Drp-ChriStian nnran religions
rtes-curiOus relics of the past.

HORSE "CEMETERY" IN EGYPT
American Expedition Has Uneartheo
Graves of Steeds That Once
Bore Proud Royalty.

Objects unearthed at El-Kur'uw, on
tie Upper Nile, by the Harvard uni
versity, Museum of Fine Arts eXpedi-
tion shed new light on the early his
tory of Ethiopia, the tombs Of all the
kings from $50 b. c. to 250 3. Z. hav-
ing neen recovered.
1t is known that King Piankhy was
q great connOisseur of horses. In his
account of his besieging the Egyptian
city of Eshmun he tells of his anger
at finding the horses of King Namlat
starved thin as b result of the siege.
Hence it is reasonably conjectured
that Piankhy started a cemetery g.
horse graves which was found at e.
Kur'uw-the only burylng ground or
its kind that has been discovered in
the Nile valley. Here, in four rows,
are the graves of the steeds of several
mOnarchs. They have been plundered,
but not so thoroughly as to prevent
finding some of the trappings; Il
plume carrier, a silver head band four
strings of very large bronze balls,
beads, amulets and other objects.
These horses Wee manifestly sac
rihced at the funeral Of the king in
order that their spirits might accom-
pany his into the other world. The
sacrifice of men and animals at fu-
nerals is now well established as an
ancient Ethiopian custom by eXcava-
tons in Kerma. But the sacrifice of
horses was thousand years before
the beginning of the Ethiopian mon
archy, and in all the royal tOmbs of
Napata no other survival of the Gus
tom was detected.
