ident, he said. He disclosed that
an unique approach to the prob
lem is under review. Instead of
the usual procedure that calls for
the condemnation of land to en-
able construction of a highway,
he said the possibility of employ
ing excess condemnation princi-
Piles is being studied.
Under common procedure, he
explained, there are many oppor-
tunities for unjust enrichment
from condemnation orders. He
cited a case in Columbia county,
New York, where one farmer was
enriched by $4,000 when a road
was operated through his property
which formerly faced -on a dirt
highway.
The excess condemnation plan
calls for the contemplation of
more alnd than is actually needed
for the actual highways. This
would have the effect of eliminat-
ing land speculation by owners of
property abutting the proposed
highways and at the same time
would enable the government to
sell the improved property and
thus defray part of the cost OF
the highways.
The road problem also is being
studied from the view that tolls
would be imposed to cover that
part of the expense of construc-
ton not met by the sale of the
improved land.
Shortly before the president
met newspapermen the senate
banking and currency committee
agreed to appoint a sub-commlt-
tee to hold hearings on bill by
Senator Robert j. Buckley, D., o.,
which proposed to inaugurate an
$8,OO0,OOO,OOO highway building
program.

MARRIAGES RISE
IN ITALY 20 PERCENT
DURING PAST YEAR
By JOSEPH D. RAVoTTO
Press Staff Correspondent

ROME, Feb. I6.-(UP)-Like
MANY European countries, Italy
has more women than men.
It is estimated that there are
100 female births to every 96 male
in Italy, This means that there are
roughly 22.OOO,OOO girls and wo-
men in Italy out of total popula-
ton of slightly more than 49,
100000.
TN the United States the reverse
is, true. as there are 103 male
births TO every 100 female births.
The Italian womau'S chief occu-
patton is marriage. In the last
available complete figures the
Number of married women be-
tween the ages of Is and 81 was
7,370.535. There were another
2'2SO.OOO over the age of GA liy-
ing in wedlock.
NEARLY 100000 WIDOWS
To these totals must be added
1898. 324 widows, which is almost
three times the total of widOwerS.
This would seem to indicate that
Italian women live longer than
their SpouSeS.
Italian women marry young,
the average wedding age being %.
There are 116 women per thou
sand in this country who marry
between the ages of p and "a.
If the country were to be divld-
cd into sections. the average mar
rhge age would be somewhat low
eE in southern Italy than in the
north, where girls mature more
sI6wly. In all there are approx
matelv 100000 girls here of the
nhrriageable age.
In the last few years nine girls
married at the age of Is; 260 at
tie age of IA, and T3,340 at the
aye of 10. These figures find no
ebual in the Anglo-SaXon, Scandi-
nhvian or even the Teutonic ma
tibnS.
, While divorces are not granted
IN Italy, there are nevertheless
2F,475 separated and divorced
women here. The divorced are

On the whole, the average of sue
cess is higher where hardy lilies are
planted in the fall. They begin at
once to make roots under the most
favorable conditions; in the Spring
they develop normally and they bios
som at their normal season with
vigorous flowers. Provided, of course,
that they are planted in the proper
place.
Drainage is necessary for Japan
lilies; they come from a mountainous
country, where the soil is gritty and
not like our cold, wet clays. They
need a place that slopes and soil
through which surplus water passes
quickly.
In the summer it is better if their
roots are shaded, and they have no OBJ
lection to the company of shrubs
Slightly acid soil is preferred by the
Japanese types and oak woods soil
is fine for them.
The Japan lilies are stem rooters,
which means they make roots not
only below the bulbs but along the
stem above the bulb so they should
be planted eight to twelve inches
deep.-National Garden Bureau.

The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Someone ought to write an essay
on the value of postponing. Now
know well enough that postponing is
usually a miserable human trait, hav-
ing its root in laziness and indecision
An honest and energetic person never
leaves till tomorrow what he can
do today, and with this viewpoint
have no argument. To the contrary
wish that not only all the rest of the
world but also I, myself, could have
more of the honesty and energy OF
the slogan. Many are our ills that
have been caused by postponement
of things that should have been done
But there might be another side to
the situation, or there might be other
situations where we really should
learn to postpone. This takes moth
ing away from our school-day maxim
of never leaving till the morrow what
we can do today, because it concerns
itself with the things we cannot dc
today. We could save nervous energy
and we could achieve much better
results, if we could learn to postpone
when necessary. Or should we say
waiting instead of postponing.
1t does not hold true, of course
that everything comes to him who
waits, but many things do. There is
often a happiness which is in store
for us, if we can only wait for il
and do not try to occupy it before
it is ready for us. Young men and
women will often experience this in
their relation to each other. And
parents often have to be very pa
tient in waiting for certain develop
ments in their children. This is a
hard thing to do, but unreasonable
harm is often done by rushing a
growth that naturally comes slowly
When we have come this far, each
reader can undoubtedly think OF
many situations where patient wait
ing is better than sudden action, and
they can remember instances where
they have erred by anticipating. Some
will try to argue that we should
not forget to do the things of today
but we must remember that we have
no argument with the above men,
toned maxim.
Life is a growth, and spiritual life
is also always growth. Let us not
forget that a Christian life should
be considered under the same view
point. A plant can suddenly burst
into bloom, but that which makes
the blossom and the fruit possible
is the steady growth. Let us therefore
not tamper with that which must have
time and peace for natural growth;
let us postpone our desire for sudden
fruits. Christian life grows from a
seed that is sown, and we must have
faith in the growing power within
the seed.
