YOUR GHOST

Make the most of your ghost, and let
him be your guide before you die. That's
the idea of the people who have just opened
laboratory at Leeds, England, for the
study of the spirit entity of man.
The tour of America by Sir Conan Doyle
set the country buzzing once more over the
old question of survival after death, and
the return to earth of ghostly visitors Ger
tainly the question is yet far from solution,
but the pursuit of scientific methods in at
tempting to solve it seems much more
reasonable than categorical acceptance or
categorical denial.
1t is the aura that is to be studied at
Leeds. A dim outline of light is to be seen
about the human frame under certain
lighting conditions. Whether this is an
optical illusion remains to be proved. Ac-
cording to those who think it is spiritual
emanation, the aura should be pink for
one in good health. Varying colors re-
fleet varying moods and states of spiritual
being, and these in turn are said to have
their effect upon physical health and men,
tai habits.
If the Leeds experiments find out any
thing new about us, body and soul, their
addition to our knowledge will be well
come. The world waits with suspended
judgment.

OUR VAST ROAD PROJECT

The bodybuilding program OF the fed
eral government includes about 100000
miles of improved highway and it will re-
quire from Is to 20 years to complete the
project With about 10000 miles built or
in process of construction tWo-thirds of
the mileage remains to the future. 1t is
great job which has been undertaken, the
most stupendous in that line in the history
of the world
The Roman highways, extensive as they
were, were lilliputian in comparison with
such an undertaking. These roads are
only such as fit into the national system,
chief thorouglfares. They have nothing to
do with vast amount of mileage which
serves purely local needs 1t is estimated
that when complete automobile saturation
is attained there will be 100000 cars
Were cars to stand still on the highway no
insignificant length of road would be re-
quired to give them space The more cars
the more good roads will be demanded, for
car is of little value unless there is a
road on which it can run. With the in
crease of cars will come demands for in
crease of road Improvement and that will
go on and on.
In the seventies and eighties of the last
century there was tremendous craze in
railroad building. Almost every COM
munity had project for a new railroad
regardless of how many they had already,
yet the eagerness in those days to have a
railroad is not marker to the insistence
in this day for good roads. Every center
wants roads in every direction and every
farmer wants one by his farm, if he owns
an automobile. For generations Ameri-
cans gave little attention to the highways.
For the most part the most primitive in
road construction would do. 1t required
a powerful incentive to arouse the coun-
try to desire for good roads that would
not be denied The automobile provided
the impulse and what improved highways
are built are probably but starter for
what the next score of years will see
realized.

the matter of interruptlng. Every

persons guard against interrupting

a good many husbands and wives who

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

1T is not yet too late to shop early, y
was the way downtown merchant put
it today; by which he meant that the early
part of the day is the best for the Christ
mas buyer. Then the stocks are assorted
and in order, the sales-people fresh and at
tentive, and the crowds are not so dense.
Due consideration for clerks and store
employees in general, and a selfish interest
in the saving of ones own time and temper
bespeak for all who have gifts to buy the
early hours of the day.

PARTNERS

PARTNERS
-Four years without a labor grievance
-Four years with no threat of strike or lock-
out!
1T would be great" comments the
manufacturer. "But it doesn't happen any
more"
"We'd all like to see it." chimes in the
laborer, "but things aren't run that way
nowadays"
But it is being done right here in Ameri-
ca, in the town of Wappingers Falls, New
York.
Capital and labor in the Duchess bleach
cry industry of Wappingers Falls have
reached the equality so much talked of,
so seldom achieved. They are actual, not
visionary partners.
The experimental stage has been passed.
The Duchess bleacheries are a success.
There is capital of 81, 100000, and there
are 600 employees. Managerial control is
divided equally between capital and labor.
Every penny of profit is split into exact
halves too.
The workers of Wappingers Falls are
contented and prosperous. The manage
ment has no labor worries. The problem
has been solved in one industry. Perhaps
others may take leaf from the book of
these pioneers.

HOME BOOKKEEPING

DON'T tumble your accounts.

with the management of home ex-

err happiness If he keeps books. Not In
frequently greater worries are expert
enced by wives and husbands as re-
suit Of home management than come to
the executives of ne biggest CONNER
eial and Industrial concerns. This for
no other reason than that they never
know where they stand or where they
are coming out financially.
More than 1900 years before Christ
came into the world, crude methods Of
bookkeeping we're employed. Searchers
in the ruins of ancient Babylon have
come across movable clay tablets, upon
which accounts were kept with exact
ness. Improvement In methods of
bookkeeping has come through the ages
and there is no excuse for anyone In
this day having their happiness blight
ed by jumbled statements or no rec

all. But that old nuisance. Careless
ness, results in inaccuracies, uncertain
ty and unhappiness for thousands who

Pussy and Snookums ran toward
