In a Library

The world at large is spread before mine eye;
In poetry and in prose its volumes lie
Within the library of aeons past:
! read and study to my hearts content.
And find Natures own books paternal bent
OF woods and hills, and valleys plentitude
Where rivers passion bounds in lyric mood
Till through the gates Of sapphire they conclude
And there are songs and sonnets i'm the sky
rich collection the clouds sail by
Their background deep with astronomic art:
While works in nautical expressions be
But sweet majestic sermons of the sea
And volumes full of hidden lore, behold,
of gold and silver mines these treasures told
When brought to light we read their means old
Immortal works! your lessons do unclose
A signature self woven through your prose
Creator? Yes Thy wisdom and Thy word
Created every source Of life and good
Yet, in Thy greatest work is understood,
Made Man the speaking book so blessed is he
His mind and soul will speak of faith to Thee
And trust salvation through Thy glory be-

Sweehearts Foreuer

Forgetting everything for my sweethearts smile
over the borderland, straight down the hill
Together travel hand In hand still
Last days the sweeter for suffering much
Forgotten long ago for my sweetheart's toucl
Eyes that speak volumes eyes full of love
Gaze on me tenderly like mated dove
Back in the shadows we've left each mistake
Forgotten long ago for my sweetheart's sake
Who's at the River the Ferryman tall?
Thine you were crossing" we hear his loud call
Somehow linger for to rest awhile
Forgetting everything for my sweethearts smile
Soon We'll be over but still hand in hand
Sweethearts forever in Gods Beulah land
mansion awaits with love at the door
And sweet baby faces, and rest-evermoie

The latest and most startling
highway project is that of New
Jersey which is building a great
surer.hfchwav leading away from
New York city's Holland Veh1cuiar
tunnel, 1t is estimated that TINS
roadway. when completed. will carry
90 900 900 automobiles in a single
wear. or nearly as many as the
entire registration in the United
States.
Travel to and from the sun-bathed
Fairgrounds scattered along the New
Jersey coast will be accelerated oy
this super-highway with its I'VE
traffic lanes. Long distance travel
will also be accelerated in as much
az the Lincoln Highway will soon
incorporate this high speed road
and the Holland tunnel. Thousands
OF New YORK. city's people who have
given up all hope of comfortable
weekend travel will soon have an
express route for Is miles through
Jersey City, Newark and Elizabeth
without hindrance from a single
street or railroad crossing; ramps
provide local connections.
Double.decked through most OF
Jersey City and portions of Newark
and Elizabeth. the new highway viii
eliminate the congestion now ex-
pected when the motor owning
herd is free to break away from
the cares of business. The super
highway starts with a gigantic
concrete viaduct suspended over The
maze of railroad tracks at the
New Jersey entrance of the Holland
tunnel.
After spinning along for few
moments the motorist will find
himself at the beginning of the
double-decked portions. The through
motorists will shoot down the ramp
onto the lower level while local
traffic continues on the surface, for
here the lower deck is submerged
and the upper deck is flush with
the streets of Jersey City.
The two-level thoroughfare merges
into a single roadway just prior to
crossing the Hackensack River at
the western outskirts of Jersey
City. The modern thought behind
the project is again illustrated by
the construction of huge tunnel,
through which the roadway passes,
midway between the Passaic and
Hackensack rivers The roadway
now proceeds practically at street
level until Newark and Elizabeth
are reached. Street and railroad
crossings in and near these towns
are avoided by means of elevated
structures.
Extraordinary as this super high
way is, it gives a definite indica-
ton of the steps. that must be
taken by both large and small

traffic congestion. The builders

RECORD SET FOR
CHEVROLET

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 15.--All
previous January production records
were shattered here last month by
the Chevrolet Motor Company when
the total output for the 30-day
period reached 91,5S4 units. W. s.
Knudsen. president and general
manager, announced today.
This figure topped by nearly
10000 units the 1855 cars and
trucks produced in January, 1927,
and more than doubled the outlet
for the corresponding month in
1925 when only 46,437 units were
manufactured.
AS q result of this tremendous
volume, production in January was
exceeded by that of only four other
months in the entire history of the
company. Every indication points
to new Chevrolet records in the
coming months of 1928, Mr.. knud-
sen said.
The tentative production schedule
for February is 112,475 units, as
against $4,000 units last February,
while actual production for the
month this year is certain to ex.
coed the tentative schedule by a
comfortable margin, Mr.. Knudsen
said. Tentative plans for Marcn
call for the building Of more than
$4,000 units, which will establish
a new all-time monthly record for
the manufacture of gear shift cars,
according to Mr.. Knudsen.
This huge volume has been made
possible by the enormous sales
gains registered since the introduc-
ton Of. the Bigger and Better"
Chevrolet on January i. r. H.
Grant, vice president Of the com.
pany in charge of sales, stated thai
more than $4,000 units were sold
for immediate delivery at retail in
the limited States to date.
