 Birmingham has never seen Ash. ton Donza. splendid little Cres- cent City featherweight, thoroughly licked, officials of the B. A. C. state, and they add that Birmingham fan dom has been hankering after that self same sight for q couple of years now.
 Furthermore, B. A. c. boxing au- thorities believe they have the man to do that act of chastisemAnt in Jimmy Proto, who meets Donza here next Monday night.
 Jimmy Proto, a short. sturdily built little box fighter, possesses that lighting blood' that makes him bore out, both fists pumping like pistons, ever seeking an opening to shoot through to land . finish ing blow. Proto Is aggressive, and that selfsame aggressiveness proved too much for Tim ODowd, Atiantas great young fighter.
 The way Dave Evans explains it Proto will use his speed and ability at following up to step in and catch Dcnza off his guard as Ashton is backing away after . fussiIade ot his lightning but light blows. And Proto has never been accused of hitting powderpuff punch, says Dave.
 Donza has fought some good men n ' Sy h Q zI tie Crescent City battler has held his own, or very nearly succeeded in doing so. The man who whips Don "a in decisive fashion will impress Birmingham fans as being the man to step right in and stage a whirl- wind campaign after somebody's title or something. That's the verdict that awaits Proto if he can succeed In doling out to Donza the maulins Dave Evans and company have q hunch he will.

How to Have Good Roads

William II. Cameron of Napa, Cal,
issues the following letter on good
roads and how to pay for them:
Varying usual practice l will state
my conclusions first; my reasons fol-
lowing.
California as state has spent about
$6OOOOOO0 ON highways. There are
nearly one million automobiles in Op-
GRAFTON in this state. Owners driving
their cars over these improved high
ways as compared with unimproved
roads save enough money on tires
alone TO pay the entire cost in one
year
No more bonds should be issued to
build highways.
A gasoline tax should provide for
amortization of bonds issued and for
future building.
Is there not something In these con
clusions which, il they are sound,
shonld interest taxpayers, lawmakers
and economists?
! drive an Essex Cab, using 32x4
inch best cord tires, costing about
S160 a set. drive from California to
Montana over all kinds of roads.
Over unimproved roads the best serv-
ice experienced has been about 5000
miles for the set. Another Essex Car
ON improved highways has set now
Pocahontas star herald., 1923-08-24
Supplement to The Star Herald POCahOntaS, Arkansas

in use that has run $4,000 miles
without retreading. Can the two
records 10000 and 10000 miles in
stead of 5000 and 24,OOO. Both cars
will run about 10000 miles a year.
Here is a clear actual saving of $16O
per car on tires alone for the car
using the improved highways.
If California cars average the same
weight as Essex and average service
is equal to the two cars referred to,
the improved highways would save
California owners the almost unbe-
lievable sum of $16O,OOO,OOO in one
year on tires alone. Experienced mo-
tOrists can make their own subtrac-
tiOns from this sum as well as l.
In view of the significance of above
analysis, should we not cease issuing
bonds, pay off those issued and make
gasoline do the work? Incidentally
this would make it unnecessary TO
further consider a special license tax
on stages and trucks.
Gasoline would again do the work.
There is tremendous lot of sequen-
tial thought that impinges on this
proposition. 1t is not worth pursuing.
Thrift began with civilization. it be-
gan as soon as man realized that it
was necessary to provide for tomor-
row as well as for today.

WHAT IS LOVE?

a full-moon that sang of romance;
And the full-moon answered:
Loves the spirit of trees and flowers,
Loves the song of mild April showers,
Loves the land of castles ana towers;
Ihats what love is, my son."
what is love?" | asked of the winds:
Winds that We're moaning and sharp;
And the sharp winds answered:
Loves the help that comes from the
strong,
Loves the hope that battles the throng,
Loves the vision that cheers with a
song;
That's what love is my SON.
What is love?" l asked of the sun;
sun full of passion and warmth;
And the warm sun answered.
Loves the call of the flesh that de-

Loves the message of warm cinging

Loves the caress hot as hot desert

That's What love is, my SON."

FEW APOSTLE SPOONS LEFT
Only Two Complete Sets of Ancient
British Plate Are Known to Be
in Existence.

The most ancient piece of hall
marked British plate in existence is
the spoon.
In the reign of Edward ", the
spoon is mentioned in English ltera-
ture. Apostle spoons came into fash
ion during Edward VS. time and be-
came very fashionable as christening
presents.
Until the time of the commonwealth
it became the custom for wel-to-do
godfathers and godmOthers to give d
child a complete set of these spoons,
or less, according to their means.
With the poorer classes the child very
often got only one silver spoon, with
a figure Of his patron saint or that of
the giver
There are only two complete sets
of thirteen apostle spoons in existence
smiths company and the other is in
the possession of Corpus Christi col
lege, Cambridge.
In both these sets Our Lord is rep
resented. but not Judas lscariot; his
place is taken in one set by Paul and
in the other by Matthew.
The Oldest hall-marked apostle
spoon that is known to be in existence
was made in 1893.
1t does not seem to be the fashion
to present them any more ut chriSten-
ings The custom dwindled at the
time of the Puritans, who were great
image-breakers.
