If this should be made the
n. ional highway it would COM
mand he greater part of the
travel between Texarkana and
Little Rock for that very rea-
son, and as from Ogden east
would be above the high water
of the Red river it would al
ways command its part of the
travel from Oklahoma and
Southwest Arkansas. This
fact alone would make it a
popular route, not only for the
people of Oklahoma and South
west Arktnsas but more popu-
lar for the people of Texarka-
ma and Texas even than the
route through Fulton would be
as the higher up the river the
crossing curing overfows the
less the danger, of course. This
would be no little item to con-
slider in figuring on a national
highway. So by all means
let's have our national highway
for this part of the country
cross the river at Index instead
of al Fulton. Another thing
in favor of this route is that
the highway from Washington
to Columbus, and that from
Ogden to Texarkana, is already
built, lessening the expense on
construction of this national
highway just that much, per-
haps many thousands of dol
lars.

marriage has changed gradually
and radically-courtship in all its
old forms, remains the same. A
letter which was unearthed sew

The learned scientists took the
affirmative side. They could prove,

progressed by leaps and bounds,
and anyone who disputed this fact
was-Well, a fool!
The young man smiled and
awaited his turn. His opponents
pointed to the thousands of scien-
tific inventions which have been
introduced within the last few Gen.
turtles. They spoke of the new
forms of government and of the
higher social life which has
evolved slowly.
Then the young man pleaded
his cause. He said that new dis

no abnormal growth of the mind.

centuries longer the development

GOODNIGHT
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman|
DEAR MRS. BEEcKMAN:

EAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
~ would like to know
whether 1t is proper for a girl
not quite sixteen to stand in
front of her street door an hour
before bidding her boy friends
good night. This happened to be
1890. / reprimanded my daugh-
ter for doing this. and she did
not think / was right. She said
was narrow-minded. Kindly
advise me in the matter.
MOTHER
THIS young person (who doesn't
l. deserve to have such
thoughtful mother) is the one
who has the narrow mind-and
I suspect that the mind is so
narrow that it Is one-track
mind, that track being herself
and her self.will. Her ideal Of
herself certainly cannot he a
very high one if she will allow
herself to cheaper herself so in
the eyes OF the boys she knows.
OF course she really does feel
cheap in her own eyes. but she
tries to cover this fact by her
defiance and her rudeness to
you.
You should have an earlier
bed time rule for this daughter
SO that perhaps she could
sleep off some of this overflow
ing bad taste. Then talk over
with her an ideal OF good man.
ners Also she should be made
to see how her bad manners and
her "smart-y" ways look to ais
eliminating people, both older
people and the girls and boys
she knows.
