HIGHWAYS BUILT

New York. Dec. I M1Opening Of

to the solution of one Of the great
est traffic problems common to cities
throughout the country-construc-
ton OF highways In suburban areas
to insure Z steady dow Of traffic at

lanes to insure movement Of traffic
at the rate Of IS miles an hour, and
by means Of grade separations cuts
out the old time crossroads conges-
ton.
The new parkway. II miles In
length, was created by the Westches-
ter county park commission to re-
lieve congestion on the Boston Post
road, which Is the heaviest travelled
thoroughfare between New York and
New England. The route permits
the motorist to avoid the congested
centers of Rye. Harrison. Mamaro-
neck, Larchmont and New Rochelle.
while the old road led through the
business centers of these communi-
ties, slowing down through traffic.
Automobiles travelling on inter-
secting roads do not halt traffic on
the main thoroughfare since they
arc sent across the road on over
head arch bridges. All railroad
grade crossings have also been
eliminated In this way. There are
no heavy grades or sharp curves
on the new highways.
Attractive landscaping has been
considered an integral part of the
project. Trees and plants have
been put in along the road to aid in

Dog Must Catch Fish
or Go Without Meal

The Anus of Saghalin, off the
Siberian coast, have a unique meth
cd of fishing for salmon-trout with
dogs. The waters about the island
are wonderfully clear and from a
boat the bottom of the water Is
distinctly visible and innumerable
salmon-trout may be seem swim
ming.
The Anus, when about to fish,
take with them number of dogs.
At certain point all the men and
dogs come to a halt. Then half
the men and dogs move farther
along the waters edge, about 2OO
yards. At concerted signal, the
dogs are started from their respec-
tive points, and swim straight out
seward in single file in two
columns. At cry from the Anus,
the right column wheels left and
the left column wheels right, until
the heads of the columns meet.
Then, at a another signal, all Of
them swim in line toward the
shore.
AS the dogs near the shore, in
creasing numbers of fish appear in
the shallow water, frightened by
the splashing of the advancing COL
umn of dogs, which, as soon as
their feet touch bottom, pounce
upon the fishes with lightning ra-
pidity. The animals promptly bring
the fish which they have seized to
their masters, who cut off their
heads and give each dog the head
that belongs to him as his share
of the catch. The dog that catches
nothing gets nothing.
1t is believed that this dog-drill
of the Anus is entirely unique. 1t
is the more extraordinary when it
Is considered that the dogs, many
Of which have been captured from
the forests, are still half wild.

Only Un,uise Persons
Lose Test of Living

It Is a fairly common experience
to see life 60 stale.
Every one has known people who
have reached a point where they
have lost their zest in living. They
feel they have had all the thrills.
Nothing is left except boredom.
Young people who have been spoiled
by indulgent and unwise parents
often are in this plight. They are
eager to find a new kick and no
kick is forthcoming.
There are two preventives OF
such a frame of mind. One Is to
practice self-denial for self-denials
sake, just as an athlete keeps lit
by exercise and restraint of diet.
The other is to get interested In
doing something worth while; to
forget the pursuit of happiness and
take happiness as a by-product u
useful living.
An athlete needn't 60 stale If he
takes sensible care of himself to
prevent it. Neither need any person
in the ordinary business Of living

Executive Today Not
=, Model of Aloofness

Mergers are many. One thing
I've noticed, namely, that whenever
there is an. executive in one of the
companies who has become favor
ably known to the public he is
chosen as the active head of the
combination. The Old-fashioned
type Of ultra-dignified, alOof ex-
ecutive usually is shelved to make
way for a man whose personality
has favorably impressed itself
upon the public. The frigid ex-
ecutive rarely is popular with the
employees. He regards himself as
the master and regards them as
his servants. The more modern ex-
ecutive convinces his men that he
regards himself simply as CO.
worker for the building up of the
business along lines which will
benefit them all. If you aspire to
come out on top in this era of
mergers, strive to earn the good
will of employees and the public.
Mix heart with head.-B. c. Forbes,
in Forbes Magazine.
