Federal-Aid Roads Are
Progressing Steadily

Federal-aid road building during the
fiscal year beginning July /, 1922, has
progressed steadily toward the goal Of
almost 100000 miles to be included in
the federal-aid highway system, re-
ports the bureau of public roads, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
On March 81, 1885 miles had been
completed since the beginning Of the
fiscal year, and with three months of
good construction weather still remain
ing it appears likely that the 10000
miles completed in the preceding fiscal
year win at least be equaled. At the
same time prospects are good for rap
i'd progress during the coming fiscal
year, as on March 81 there was under
construction 14,010 miles and slightly
more than 10000 miles in projects ap-
proved but which have not yet reached
the construction stage.

sEDATE OLD WOMAN SHOCKED
Article Hung on ClothesIine Brings
Many Laughs From Persons
Passing Yard.

She is a nice, dignifed old lady, liv-
ing in Suburbia, with an unquestioned
reputation for righteousness, and is
renowned for her stand on prohibition
and her antipathy for anything avor-
ing of gambling. She recently engaged
the service of a maid from "the old
country"
The maid, a fine, strapping girl, was
anxious to give satisfaction, and when
instructed to put the attic in order she
more than did the Job well, for not
only did she tidy 1t, but old rugs,
blankets and the like that she came
across she put out on the clothesline
to air. The line was In full view Of
pa~ssers-by.
It was with an alarmed ~suddenness
that the dignifed old lady noticed
that those going by her house after
gazing supposedly at her backyard
should burst out laughing. Finally
she ventured out to see. On the
clothesline was hanging among other
things a roulette table cloth, the prop
erty of a sporty brother of hers, long
since gathered to his fathers.-New

LEGITIMATE USE OF CHAINS
Many Drivers Find Ways Of OVERRIDING
Things and Get in Habit of
Driving Too Fast.

Chains have their legitimate use,
but as usual drivers find ways of over
coming it. The latest is the habit of
driving too fast. Even the chain man
u~facturers don't advertise that their
articles will guarantee motorists
against accidents, but drivers seem to
have a notion that the chains justify
greater speed. AS a matter Of fact,
the chains simply make the normal
speed of the car for wet weather safe.
II 10 to 20 miles an hour is the limit
for wet weather driving the chains will
make this speed practically safe. But
If the driver clips off 80 miles per
hour or over he must remember that
in event of need for a quick stop con-
ditions are about the same as though
ne were caught going 20 miles per hour
without chain protection. Too much
confidence in chains is like getting
careless with the gasoline just because
there's a fire extinguisher in the car.

TANGLED UP BY PHONE CALL
Colonel Gives Remarkable Denoue-

Interrupted by the Chief.

The colonel had only two types Of
stories, one concerning his amorous
adventures, the other his adventures
while tiger shooting. 1t was night in
the mess and the colonel, as was his
wont, began to tell an exciting story
Of an encounter with a wounded
tigress which sprang at him before he
could reload and bore him to the
ground. At the critical moment an
orderly entered to report that the G..
o. c. wished to speak to the colonel
on the telephone, and the colonel was
compelled to break off abruptly.
He was absent for ten minutes and
on his return had forgotten which of
his favorite stories he had been tell
ing.
'sWhat happened, colonel?o asked
one of the guests. you were telling
as OF your dangerous situation"
"Oh, I kissed her" responded the
colonel airily. "She simply couldn't
resist me and we dined together that

STEP ON STARTER If CAUGHT
Few Motorists Realize What a Source
of Emergency Power Electric
Device Can Be.

Few motorists realize what a source
of emergency power an electric starter
motor can be.
When caught on railroad tracks with
a stalled motor the thing to do is to
place the gears in second" and step
on the starter. The car will move off
the tracks slowly but surely, and in
half the time that would be required
to crank the motor. Some starters
make so much noise that a train
couldn't be heard approaching while
the motor is being cranked.
A practice of relying on the starter
motor, of course, is a good way to
get acquainted with the repair shops,
but it is assumed that stalling on rail-
road crossings is not a habit. Many
abuses of the car r justifable in
an emergency the point is to know
what ones al be relied upon as life
savers.

Good Roads Are Adding
Years to Battery Life

Several eminent physicians have
within the past come forward to ex-
press their opinions to the effect that
the great increase In motoring on the
part Of the general public has brought
increased health and has added sew
eral years to Mr.. Average Mans
length Of life. This, too, In spite OF a
naturally increasing number Of acci-
dents incidents to driving automobiles.
"But back of this daily increasing
number of people who are riding in
automobiles is the fact that good
roads are daily making the motorcar
a more enjoyable means Of recreation
and transportation says Irwin A
Kuhn, a Cleveland electrician.
"The day is still within the memory
of a great many when an automobile
was something of a mixed blessing.
Only the rich were favored with the
advantage Of jolting and Earring over
bumpy, rutty roads. 1t was then con-
sidered a luxury to be able to boast
that you made a 500-mile trip without
any trouble except a couple of blow
outs, a broken spring, a burnt-out con-
Meeting rod and a few such trifles.
To-day the automobile is no longer
considered a luxury. It has become a
necessity and, as necessity mothers In
vention, automobile engineers have
therefore eliminated just about every
discomfort formerly an integral part
of the motorcar. And hand in hand
with the automobile engineers have
come the automobile associations to
father good roads.
Good roads have done for the auto
mobile what the automobile has done
for the people" comments Mr.. Kuhn.
They have heightened it's useful life
by several years. Poor roads cost
many millions of dollars to the pioneer
automobile owners and drivers. But
those days are gone forever. Today's
equivalent of horse sense is auto sug-
g~estion, a state Of mind which has
within the last few years insinuated
and ~impregnated itself into the intelli-
gences of our state legislatures, not, of
course, until they had themselves be-
come motorists and experienced the
800 separate jars and jolts on every
mile of road.
Good roads are increasing battery
life as well as making for increased
health and comfortable riding"

Hollanders Keep Roads
in Excellent Condition

One cannot travel for long in Hol-
land without becoming aware that the
roads are kept in excellent condition,
a delight to motorists, cyclists and pc
destrians. Raised in the center, these
roads are there oyerlafd with level
pathways of brick. From thence they
slope downward and outward. With
the increase of motor traffic during re-
cent years, this system Of road build
ing is to be changed for what is con-
sidered to be a better method, but
even now travelling in a car moving at
full speed, the motion is as nearly per-
feet as could be desired. Apart from
the main roads there is a wonderful
system of roads and pathways for the
cyclist.
The fiat nature of most Of the coun-
try makes cycling a natural and easy
mode Of travelling. Every one In Hol-
land cycles and, thanks to the enter
prise Of the Dutch Cycling club, every
one can cycle everywhere. In the
Guelderland and the country border
ing it are great stretches of %heathland,
and " miles of this often wooded
moorland n can ride in almost every
direction on fine sandy paths cut
across the heath and through the
woods. These paths are kept in good
condition by the cycling club, of which
any n may become a member. 1t Is
amusing and interesting to watch a
whole party Of cyclists threading its
way in single file through the midst of
a wood-passing round and about and
through the trees and underground,
with the greatest ease.--Christian Sci
ence Monitor.

PortuaaIs National EpIc.

The national epic of Portugal is the
"Lusiad," written by Luis Vaz de
Camoens Q524-15S0) and published in
1872, says the Detroit News. The great
poem, which has been translated into
many languages, was begun by
Camoens while he was in exile in In
dia and was completed shortly after
he was allowed to return to Portugal.
Before 1908 80 editions af the "Lusiad"
were printed in Lisbon. Although the
"Lusiad" was, as a piece of literature.
a tremendous success, it Melted its au-
thor little financial gain, for, as his
epitaph, destroyed in 1775, read, "He
lived poor and neglected and so died."
