Health Magazine.
MYTH the advent OF the sum-
w mer season the craze for re-
ducing diets seems to be on again.
Not only the ladies, but the men as
well are counting the days Of dietary
systems which promise to take oil
the poundage rapidly and health
fully.
A Chicago hostess, anxious to
please her dinner guests, called each
of them to know which day OF the
eighteen-day diet they had reached
and served each Of them with the
materials scheduled for that par
ticular dinner. A butcher, provided
with an eighteen-day diet by a care
lessly speaking doctor, ate the flrst
nine days at single session. The
hot days make the silly season.
Origin of the Hollywood diet
seems to be unknown. 1t Sprang
undoubtedly from California, for
that state and the diet are strong
on oranges and grapefruit as basic
items. The diet has some scientific
background because, unlike many OF
the faddish diets heretofore pop
ular. it takes into account provision
of vitamins as we'll as diminution Of
calories. It has a fine psychology
ical background because actually the
foods are varied and no doubt they
will suit a variety Of tastes. What
more could one ask?
The answer is the old, old warn
ing: we all are constructed differ
entity. What is good for some Of us
may be all wrong for others. Some
people simply must not attempt to
reduce weight for the simple reason
that their nutrition is only suff1-
Gent to keep them healthful. Diet

Highway Waste

One of the oldest tricks Of circus thieves
vas 10 start fight in the street while one Of the
gang ran in the jewelry store, where interested
clerks we're intent on the battle outside, and get
away with the loot.
One of the oldest tricks of politicians who
desire TO distract attention from their real pur
pose. is to start fake fight about something
else and get away while the people are looking
IN another direction.
Il may be just as we'll not to get too excited
over the battle of the highway commission to
add few employees to the pay roll and raise
few salaries.
There are other transactions under the q
rection Of the commission, with its new di-
rectors. that should arouse more public interest.
The law was drafted with an idea that there
should be competition as to types of roads
with the purpose Of having competition which
would reduce costs, and perhaps the best type
Of roads
The law says that there shall be speciica-
tions for three types Of roads. AS a matter
of fact, by subterfuge, the board has limited
all construction to that of cement roads. The
cement trust has been very active, under diff
ferent aliases, in the politics of the state
Under one name it financed the Good Roads
movement headed by one John Brown, who is
the roommate and friend Of another John
Brown who is now the highway director.
The three types are offered, but two Of
them are so costly or 50 poor as not to be con-
sidered. The result is monopoly for the ce-
ment people in all road building.
The law also contemplated that the director
Of the highways should be competent engineer
who would not be easily imposed upon. 1t
presumed that he would know something Of the
science of building roads, as we'll as possessing
business and executive ability. The job de-
mands an engineer who understands how to
draft specifications demanded by law.
This state now turns over to the commits
sion $20,O0OOOO each year for the purpose of
getting roads. The people are entitled to the
best roads at the lowest cost 1t is more than
doubtful as to whether the people are getting
either the best roads or the lowest costs.
The condition of many of the paved high
ways after five or SIX or seven years of usage is
SQcO as 10 suggest JudL II Will W ucCSSSoIy ~
pay large sums every year for the repair of
these roads Many of them will have TO be
rebuilt at the end of fifteen years. That means
a continuing burden upon the people
That may be necessary. 1t is possible that
the cement highways are the best. It may be
necessary 10 rebuild and rebuild
If this is true, there is real solution. That
is the establishment of state-owned cement
plant to manufacture the material at lower
cost
One thing is certain. The law should be fol
lowed in spirit as well as letter. Putting in two
types of obsolete or prohibitivey costly roads
IS not a compliance with the law.
Adding a few laborers to the pay rolls
means nothing. Adding to the cost of road
building means everything.

1870. the enumeration OF the first
federal census began in the United
States.
The result Of this decennial cen

3,929,827, with only six cities having
more than $500 inhabitants
The counting Of population vas
an essential feature Of the new form
of government since it was to be
the basis Of the apportionment OF
representatives and direct taxes.
The congress which enacted the
law for the first census introduced
the distinction Of sex and color IN
the enumeration Of the free popula~
ton, and having in view. probably,
the importance Of determining the
military strength Of the newly Gre
ated nation. introduced an age dis

white male population.
Only three-ffths Of the slaves
we're counted in determining the ap-
portionment.

The VOGUE Future

THE difficulty of appraising the
L ability of any human being at
any particular time is great enough,
but it is small in comparison to the
difficulty of determining what the
ability viii be at some time in the
future
Bright boys often turn out to be
dull men. and vice versa. while sue
cess in a certain line may open up
unexpected by-paths.
Bobby Jones for instance, prob
ably did not look for a nomination
to congress. as the result Of making
himself golf champion, yet he is
likely to get it.

Objective of Thrift

THRIFT takes curious forms.
Il Some can not save if they break
a bill, others unless they take out
life insurance, and still others with
out an all-compelling objective.
John Jacobs of Bloomfield N. j.,
wanted a Ford car, and his idea Of
getting it ran to pennies.
For the last four years he has
been putting aside all the pennies he
could get.
On Tuesday, a nice new Ford was
delivered to him, He paid for it
with nine bags, weighing fifty
pounds each, full of coppers.
