What Hard Road Miles Stand For

The United States has it is announced, hall
a million miles Of hard-surfaced roads. Twenty
five years ago, there not mile. Forty years
ago, there were only few miles Of asphalt pave
Inent in cities, and there paVemcnts
Of any sort outside Of cities
The water bound macadam road vas the best We
had in the country, and there was little enough OF
that European roads were the marvel OF Amer ict,l
Travellers by their contrast with the dust ruts and
mud to whcih submitted. Even after the auto
mobile came, American machines were all built
high and awkward, to straddle the ruts, snags and
bumps Of American roads, while European were
hung low, for the smooth roads OF their countries
But the motor car, to everybodys surprise, sucked
up the hard roads of Europe and blew them away
in dust After three thousand years of road build
ing, they had to start even with us. Now we have
outbuilt the world.
The good roads movement luxury desire
for the rich mans automobile while it still the
privilege Of the few put on the farmers the
plea OF moving the crops. It has turned to su,
pass all the talking points, sincere bluffs, OF its
original promoters
1t has made the motor vehicle the convenience o.
the poor rather than the luxury of the rich 1t has
isolation insanity Of farmers wives, and the "hick
verdancy OF their sons. 1t has lessened the pro
vincialism OF city dwellers
1t has made good schools accessible to everybody
IL has given rural delivery Of mail and newspapers
1t has made fresh meat no longer a monopoly o
cities 1t has, in fact, transformed life thought
culture and civilization. 1t has been the most start
ling thing OF the century

COLDS MAY PRECEDE
CHRONIC CATARRAH

or deep in the bone beneath the
eyes.
If any one offers to treat your
case by mail, just remember the
complicated nature Of a catarrhal
condition, the careful examination
and study required Of any physician
before your case can be diagnosed
properly and the folly of wasting
your money on treatments by mail
will be readily apparent.
Nor should you attempt to treat
yourself. There are many people
who are chronic invalids today SIM
ply because they at some earlier
time have indulged in the practice
Of treating themselves for disease.
Years Of painstaking study and
preparation are required before a
physician can make an accurate
diagnosis and prescribe a scientific
treatment.
Leaving II to a Doctor
IL would be far better for all con-
ccrncd if the layman would leave
the practice Of medicine to those
who have tried by years Of endeavor
to- fit themselves for the practice
Of medicine.
1t is always the course of wisdom
to consult a specialist when serious
disorder in the nose and throat is
sustained but be sure the man you
consult is specialist in these dis
eases and not a quack. This is
usually easily determined if you
can find out where the specialist
received his medical education and
how much time he spent in the
process.
Perhaps in only one other branch
of medicine has there been more
abuse of the liberality Of laws than
in this field which pertains to the
nose and throat.
Obtain the services of the best
snecialist available instead of
adopting the haphazard method OF
, allowing any one to experiment
with your case, or the more COM
mon method of allowing an infec-
ton u develop without attention
into a serious, chronic condition
and you will find that catarrh ir
particular will hold less of fear fol
you.
I Remember, in conclusion, tha,
catarrh if properly treated can bt
cured, and that proper treatment Of
catarrh requires careful diagnosi.
and the aid of reliable physician
and preferably one who has spe
cialized in diseases of the nose ant
throat.

LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT

Sorry, old boy, I had to come
home and leave you but | knew that
you did not need me and some bust
ness has come up in connection with
an expedition am joining that
needed my attention Immediately
know | am breaking the news to
you rather abruptly but not even
to you, cid friend, could l confidc
the secret intention | have had for
T over year Of joining, if possible,
the Mantel expedition into Africa
in search of some sign Of the tradi-
tional pygmy life.
| I'm glad, however. | was over at
your house and saw you, Jack, for
, this last time without either Of Us
knowing it was farewell visit.
Goodhyes of any kind are such
CHASTITY things.
| think that at last, Jack, you
are realizing the responsibilities of
your position. You vii! not need
me as a balance wheel IN the future
Seeing Paula. too, has cleared up a
great many things in my Elind that
| had been pretty hazy about, Cne
Of which is the confirmation Of my
theory that in this world most OF
US have another chance TO rectifs
any mistake We may hayc made
That seventy times seven we ar,
asked II forgive means not only
forgiving our enemies and those
that have hurt US, but ourselves
and ouf own mistakes as well.
If, after we have made these mis-.
takes, we c)uld always remembe,

New York. Dec. 26.--Sce- saving up

Dikran kouyoumdjan fastening for
Il ship heading for dear OF England.
Doubtless you know, long ere this,
that the jawbrcaking monikcr is that
Of the grccnhatted Michael Arlen,
who hath made more shckels than the
steel corporation in novels and plays.
There were four kouyoumdjian
boys, sons of Il shrcwd Balkan trader.
And one did take over the fathers
business, and one did become Il deal
er in rare books in Paris, and one did
| become broker in South America
and one did become Michael Arlen,
| he of the immaculate afternoon coats
and best selling tales.
by carelcssly opening the pages Of a
telephone book and jabbng his fin
ger at name. Be this as it may, he
useth still II third name when travel
| ing. This is Martin Herman, which
he did bodily lift from the brother
Of Al Woods, his manager. Which.
in turn. reveals that Al Woods is
really named Herman.
Surely, it becOmeth n most vcxing
feat to keep up with names in this
village, what with pen names and
stage and sailing names.
Saw Prince Anga, Of Denmark.
watching the negro dancers at the
Plantation Club, and why so hand
some a royal youth should cause less
commotion than the Prince of Wales
lcaveth me baffled. Surely here is
one to flutter the pulses of the young
| ladies and mean foXtrOt he shakes,
am told.
And it do seem that there be quite
as many crowned heads rs bobbed
ones in this town Of late for in 4
single evening did see also Prince
Paul of Greece, with monocle in eye;
the Due de Memoirs. de Orleans, de
Chartres doing the night clubs and
the Prince and Princess Murat.
Saw Mistress Dorothy Gish in mid.
morning, and She wearing one of
those scarlet turtle-necked sweaters
and dragging her prize spaniel. .....
Saw Traffic Cop james Kelly, who
is so expert ut waving his arms on
the street corner that he ranketh
among the great handball players of
the land. His partner in the New
York Athletic Club doubles is none
other than Robert Warwick, the ac-
tor. who Of stage cngageth much in
athletics. Saw Leonard Mer.
, rick, English author who doth write
the most charming tales, and strange
to say he hath not come to lecture
but to really look at America. And
with him his daughter and a fine
footloosc pair they are. ........

What Is "Yiddish"?
(kansaS City TiMcsl


"Yiddish" is from the German word ''judisch,
which means Jewish. Yiddish is the language
spoken by large proportion OF the Jews 1t is A
High German dialect which developed under he
brew and Slavic influence. Roughly speaking, Yid-
dish contains about 70 per cent OF German words,
20 per cent of Hebrew and 10 per cent OF Slavic.
Hebrew characters used in writing Yiddish thus
giving the written language more the appearance OF
Hebrew than German. 1t is now widely used as
the language for intercommunication by the Jews
OF different nations.
Yiddish had it's origin in the migrations OF Jews
from Germany into Russia and Poland in the NJ
teenth century. These Jews spoke and wrote Ger
man with facility But In the Slavic country they
were compelled TO learn new language Several
centuries later the descendants of many of these
Jews returned to Germany. In each country the
Jews absorbed part OF the local language which wai
mingled freely with the original Hebrew. Yiddisf
has an extensive literature &sF
