On the roads light blond little oxen tugged mountainous loads of hay-pulling against head bands instead of yokes. Everybody waved from fields and doorways. It was my first drive through a peasant coun- try and all of us somehow were un- usually thoughtful and quiet.

 We lunched on the verandah of an ancient hofbrau at Fulda. Across the street was the gold-fronted town hall, once the palace of Hesslan prince. The best restaurants in rural Germany are always in the shadow of town halls. Count on me to find that out.

young damsel who has entered in a bathing beauty contest.
 You know that guys lucky ru- minated Rufus, handing one of the editors cigars to the Herald staff photographer as the latter unllm- bered his camera, prepared for a shot at the bathing girls.
 There are some things l can ap- prove of, and a beauty contest is one. If girls weren't supposed to be looked at, they wouldn't be so good looking. And besides, you know the old gag that woman is as old as she looks and a man isn't old until he stops looking.
 Then, looking over the headlines of the weeks accumulations of Her. aids, Rufus continued:
 T see our old friend Adjutant Frederickson was in town. Too bad, Freddie was a good scout. but he played the game too we'll. Led to believe the local advisory committee would back him up, he was strictly on the square. But the Salvation Army officials came in, bluffed the local committee to fare-thee- well, and Freddie, whose only offense was that of being too conscientious, was disciplined by being handed a star vation job. and the New Britain Community chest was left holding the bag.
 Now, with few friends left, the  army hasn't following enough tc get a large meeting, which after all is its prime object. l can't understand why the Community chest heads don't divert that money to where it will do the most good. Ten per cent of the Sallies' appropriation, given by New Britain people for New Brit ain relief, goes to New York head quarters. New York cares less than nothing about New Britain.
 New York now owns the build ing. purchased by New Britain money, and New Britain must keep up the payments on the mortgage.
 With the exception of free soup and beans to buns, the Salvation army in this city is doing nothing that the Welfare association is not doing, while the Hartford Sallies rent a store on Lafayette street and collect cast off clothing for the needy of Hartford.
 Its time the Community chest officials got wise to themselves and invited the Salvation Army to stand on it's own feet.
 The Community chest has just about half the money it needs. The fresh air camp must Curtail it's pro- gram a whole week. Hundreds of men are out of work and hundreds of families need food. Why not keep faith with Freddie by inviting him hack, giving him a job doing well fare work and asking the Salvation Army officials to take their leave and go where they are more well

THAT DANBURY FAIR

The Danbury Times comes for ward with q cutting observation re- ,arding fairs-those gatherings of the agricultural and amusement clans which have been thought to be on the decline The thought has been quite correct, too-with respect 10 all fairs except the one held an nually in Danbury.
 The Danbury fair is not only an institution which holds it's own in these troublesome times for fairs, but 1t consistently has Q larger at tendance than all the remaining 30 fairs in Connecticut combined,
 Consequently the Danbury Times makes bold 10 say there is nothing the matter with fairs 50 long as they are run like the Danbury fair

Now all these other fairs get -tate support" remarks the Danbury editor. and still have hard wort, 10 hold their own. Wouldn't II he an eX- callent idea TO turn them over 10 the men who for so many years haV@ successfully managed the Danbury fair? After the first year or two these fairs would need no state support. They would be paying fine profit in another two or three years, and at the end of ten years they could be turned back to former manage ments, which would make a suitable allowance 10 Danbury for showing the way. Something is wrong in the fair game when 80 state supported fairs in this populous commonwealth can't do as much business as the Darbury fair alone does when the business of all of them is added up"
 The Times IS too optimistic about the 30 "other fairs learning much from the Danbury method. The fact is the Danbury fair is an institution that has been built up over many years; it stands as high in the fair game" as the Metropolitan opera stands in the opera racket. Its high reputation is recognized in the amusement journals throughout the land and there 1t rates with the best fairs in the country. The boys in Danbury are to be congratulated or having attained such prominence in a speciality that has nothing in common with hats.

NOGAlES-GUAYMAS ROAD

An Associated Press dispatch
from Mexico City yesterday to
the effect that work on a Nogales
to Guaymas road would start
soon, was confirmed today by
Jose A. Valenzuela, Mexican
consul here, who has received a
bulletin from Mexico City to that
effect, says The Herald.
The road, which will be mo.
dern 10 every respect will event
ually be built through to Mexico
City, Valenzuela stated.
According to the consul, trac
tors and other bodybuilding
machinery have already been
delivered to Hermosillo and
Guaymas. Construction will be
started simultaneously in several
places so as to expedite the work.
About 200 men will be given
employ ment by the project, which
will take over year to build.
according to Valenzuela.
THE road will fill a long felt
need" Valenzuela said. The
country between Nogales and
Guaymas besides being rich in
minerals, is a hunters paradise.
Owing to lack of roads it has
been almost impossible for Amer
leans to reach this hunting
ground.
with the new road thousands
of square miles of land will be
thrown open. Land which has
never been hunted, and lakes
in which every type of game
fish abound, will become availa.

"Starting from Nogales the
road will 60 to. Hermosillo, and
then to the coast city, Guaymas.
From there it will lead to Culia
can, Mazatlan, Rosario. Guada
lajara and Mexico City. 1t will
take years to complete the en-
tire project, but the Nogales.
Guaymas section will be first"
According to Valenzuela work
will commence on January 2.
Crews will work north from
Guaymas and in each direction
from Hermosillo. The road will
be broad enough for three cars
and will be graveled with chat
from the many mines in the dis.
trict.

WHAT MINING DOES

Mining is unique among in.
dustries in that, instead of EN-.
ploying outside capital upon
which to build prosperity, it,
creates new wealth. It takes
ores from the ground. where
they are useless, and changes
them into taxes, dividends, wages
and the necessities and luxuries
of life for hundreds of thousands
of people.
II is a major factor in the pro.
gress of related industries and
every citizen in q metal produc.
ing state, whether farmer. Ia.
borer, teacher or grocer, benefits
directly from mining operations.
Without mining, there would be
no industries, no automobiles,
telephones, stoves, surgical In.
struments, motion pictures or
any one of millions of services
and commodities we now enjoy.
In short, mining is a great in.
dustry aud an essent tial factor in
the building of civilization. If
we, as nation and as individ.
uals. are to progress to the limit
OF our possibilities, mining must
be encouraged.

only slightly exceeded q billion
ounces, approximately 1908, ,50O,.

in the form of monetary stocks,
while 536, ,5b3, 329 ounces repre-.

The scarcity of gold may be-
illustrated by the fact that if the

development of commerce among

hardly be doubted that United

Was It the Homing Instinct ?

Perhaps it was what in science is
known as the homing instinct that
caused a woman to set out afoot from
Baltimore for Kansas with her paralyzec
husband in a child's small express
wagon. Possibly the maneuver was a
shrewd method of attracting helpful at
tention. One will never know for a
certainty. The case, however, is in
teresting because of the utter folly OF
the attempt of a woman to walk more
than fifteen hundred miles with q
trailer" She could perhaps make ten
miles day in such circumstances
which would, without Interruptions
make the trip cover one hundred and
fifty days, or five months. Ten miles q
day would not be too low an estimate
for a walker in this condition. And
moreover, it would be almost a certainty
that she could not have kept going, day
after day, at that or any other rate
especially without funds. Illness, foot
trouble, hardship would check her ad-
vance. Five months, moreover, would
bring her into the late Autumn, virtually
into Winter, with its hard going on the
road and its rigors of weather.
Assuming that the undertaking was
genuine, it must be that the woman was
quite unaware of the magnitude of the
task she had set for herself. She and
her crippled husband had come East in
friends motor car and, staying longer
than was at first planned, the family
funds had been depleted beyond the
point of buying transportation back
home. This circumstance suggests that
the trailer trip afoot was a publicity
gesture, to elicit sympathy and aid. At
any rate, the brief start yielded results
and now the police of Baltimore are
endeavoring to secure the assistance OF
relatives in Kansas. In no circum-
stances could the spectacle of this
woman walking the roads across country
hauling her husband in a childs cart be
permitted.

No Use.
What's the use o. kickin'
When the air is soft an warm,
An the sky is blue above you
Without hint o. storm?
When the waves are softly singin'
AS they sparkle in the light;
What's the use o. kickin'
Cause the fish don't bite?
The fun of goin' fishin'
Is to find a good excuse
To sit and watch the ripples
When the line is hangin loose;
To feel the breezes BLOWN
An sense such calm delight
That you never think of kickin'
Cause the fish don't bite.
There's many an ambition
Which is but a fruitless quest.
But this world Is full of sunshine
An of beauty an of rest.
An we've had the fun of livin',
Though we amt successful quite,
An there amt no use o. kickin'
Cause the fish don't bite.
