BY DR.. Frank Crane

The first thing I shall do will be to read

Nothing so imLTesses me with the brevity
of life as to enter a Iibrary-oppresses I

In heaven time being no matter, I shall

Now, the sciencestory-tellers say that we
see the light Of certain stars that may have
been extinguished centuries ago. Rapidly as
light travels, it takes ages for it to cross the
universe, if it ever gets across at all. Hence,
travelling with thought rapidity I can overtake
light anywhere along its road Consequently
all | need to do, in order to witness with my
own eyes anything that ever happened on
earth, is to wish myself at such distance as

The Cost Of Poor Roads

TVHE economy in good roads and the ex-
trayaganceE in poor ones have been
strikingly demonstrated by the high
way department Of Kentucky. An experiment
made with sixty-two Fords over a period of
months revealed that the average cost per
mile for cars operated on good roads was 422
cents, and for those operated on poor roads
672. "These figures" it is explained, Include
the cost Of gasoline, oil and grease tires and
repairs, but do not include storage or deEre-
ciation." The gasoline cost was IL cents per
mile on good roads. against 2.3 on poor roads
Repair expense was only Is cents on good
as against 20 on poor roads.
These average differences in cost multi

would amount in the course of year to
millions of dollars. For America as a

whether the machines will be formally and

A roll call in the lower house of congress
is a slow and tedious undertaking, and
much valuable time is consumed in getting

such machinery does away with roll calls

1t is we'll enough to argue that legislators

lot of school children. In the first place,
their duties will not permit of their remain

But there is still another argument

The keeper of lighthouse off the coast
Of Ireland got married to a London girl and
his wife had, among other effects, small,
light pianette sent to her new home.
News reached the island that the instru-
ment was on the mainland and two islanders
were dispatched in q lugger to fetch it
across. The lighthouse keeper and his wife
were awaiting the arrival of the pianette
which was to brighten the long winter eve
nings, but to their disappointment they saw
the boat returning without the instrument.
"Wheres the pianette?" shouted the light
house keeper when the lugger was within
haling distance

men. "Shure, were town it just behind
