LINKING UP STATE SYSTEMS
Progressive Step Attributed to Re-
quirements Of Federal-Aid
Legislation.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agrtculture.)
A recent meeting Of New England
state highway officials and engineers
OF the bureau of public roads Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, marks an important point in tho
development Of highways In this coun
Try. This Is the first meeting ever helt
between officials empowered to act, fol
the purpose OF laying out a system OF
highways to serve an area larger than
single state. 1t is the first Of a Sc
rles OF similar meetings which will be
held between the federal officials and
OF states, the object of which will be
the solution of the problem for the
whole country
This progressive step, long wished
for by all users Of the highways, can
be attributed to the requirements Of
federal-aid legislation. 1t is required
that all federal aid be spent on con
nected system Of highways designed
to serve the needs of the whole cOun-
try. Tentative systems have been sub
mitted by all except eight states, and
now the series Of meetings Is being
held to connect and coordinate the
proposed state systems.
The bureau Of public roads intends
to push this work as rapidly as pos
sible, so as to lay before the people
the plans for what will be by far the
greatest highway system in the world.
At present only roads certain to be on
the system are being approved for

CALOMEL Good
BUT NEXT DOSE
MAY SALWATE
It Is Mercury, Quicksilver, Shocks
Liver and Attacks Your
Bones.

Calomel salvation is horrible. 1t
swells the tongue, loosens the teeth
and starts rheumatism. There's no rea-
son why person should take sicken-
ing, salivating calomel when a few
cents buys large bottle Of Dodson's
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t Is a pleasant vegetable
liquid which will start your liver just
as surely as calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and can not salivate.
Calomel Is dangerous drug; be-
sides, 1t may make you feel weak, sick
and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a
days work. Take a spoonful Of bod
sons Liver Tone instead and you will
wake up feeling great. No salts neces-
sary. Your druggist says If you don't
find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better
than treacherous calomel your money
Is waiting for Observation-Disclosures.

Alexandria during the first half of the
last century, failed to throw the
slightest light upon the mystery.
The facts in the case are few. but,
such as they are, they are supported
by the unassailable evidence of num-
to the brief public appearance of the
female stranger The brig Four
Sons locked at Alexandria on July
%, 1916, en- route from Halifax TO the
West Indies The Virginia city was
not port of call on the regular route,
but the captain stated that one OF his
passengers had been taken dangerously
i'll and that her husband had demand
ed that she be put ashore at AleXan-
dria, where boat was lowered, ana a
man and woman, the latter apparently
very i'll. were taken ashore.
Despite the heat of midsummer, the
woman wore a heavy black veil, and
her husband secured the best suite In
the Inn of the Bunch of Grapes, as
well as the services of well-knoWn
physician whom he engaged only after
pledging him to strictest secrecy. Even
In the presence of the doctor. however,
the woman's face was kept yelled, and
the husband steadfastly refused to
hire nurse, saying that he was en-
tirely capable of handling the case
and that he was able to do anything
that q nurse could do.
AS the weeks Of scorching hot
weather progressed, however, the man
began to wilt under the constant strain
Of watching beside the bed, and finally
agreed to permit two Of the guests
in the Inn to help him-but only after
they had taken an oath that nothing
they might learn would ever be
divulged, an oath which was kept as
sacred trust.
During the ten weeks which fol
lowed the woman's arrival in AleXan'
dria, she grew steadily worse. and at
last, at dawn on October 4. her nus
band announced that she had died
Then, for fear that someone might see
the face which he had kept hidden
from the world, he himself prepared
the body for burial, sealed the lid OF
the coffin and, after attending the
funeral and ordering the headStone
with the strange inscription, dsap
peared.
On October 4 of the following year
Alexandria was surprised at the SUD
den and unheralded return Of the nus
band, who remained In the city only
long enough to place flowers on the
grave of the female stranger" and tC
see that the plot in the cemetery was
| well taken care of. Once year fol-
| twelve years, he returned. Then his
visits ceased and the grave was neg

spoke. in part, as follows:
There was A controversy in the
primitive church respecting meats of
fered to idols and the duty of CHRIS
tians in the case. Many of the dlsci'
pies brought with them their Jewish
traditions about the matter and sought
to impose them on the church as 81
abiding obligation. The Gentle dis

greater freedom and held the Jewish
tradition as no longer binding; and
some of the more radical spirits would

This. naturally. bred friction and mis-
understanding and uncharity. st. a

New Duties Arise
This problem. which is perennial.
is essentially the problem between con
sentative and progressive morality. 1t
is the problem Of changing codes of
conduct. 1t concerns. also. the meas
ure Of individual liberty and individual
subordination. the extent to which the
individual may assert his freedom. and
the extent to which he shall subordi-
nate it out of consideration for others.
Old customs are outgrown. Traditions
become obsolete. new duties arise. and
our concrete codes of conduct demand
revision.
Without this revision conscience
falls behind social and intellectual de-
velopment, and may wen become an
enemy of truth and righteousness. Not
without reason has a French writer
declared that virtue is more danger
Gus than vice. as the excuses of viz
tue are subject to no restraints of
conscience. When fanaticism is joined
to religion, then we have all the con-
ditions for the prosecutions and rel1-
gious wars which have covered the
pages of history with infamy. Unless
properly directed, virtue may indeed
be more dangerous than vice. The plea
of orthodoxy has been the most blight
