TJ JL JL r 1 s , ; $ How to Get Good Roads When Caesar took a westward rldo And grabbed tho Gauls for Rome, What was tho first thing that ho did To make thorn fool at homo? Did ho lncreaso tho people's loads, And liberty forbid? No, ho dug in and built good roads That's what old Caosar did. Did Caesar put tho Iron heel Upon tho focmnn's breast Or did ho try to make them feel That Roman's rule was host? What did ho do to make them glad Ho camo their lands amid? Ho built good roads In placo of bad That's what old Caesar did. Ho built good roads from hill to hill, Good roads from valo to valo: Ho ran a good road movement Till old Romo got all tho kalo. He told tho folks to buy at home, Build roads tholr ruts to rid, Until all roads led up to Rome That's what old Caesar did. If any town would mako Itself Tlio rnnlnr nf the man. Whoro folks will como and settle down And Hvo in plonty's lap; If any town Its own abodes Of nnvnrtv would rid. Lot It go out and build good roads-- Just like old unesar uiu. Ohio Motorist.

Twenty un trained persons were divided into threo groups. One group shot live arrows with the English longbow per day; another twenty shots per day and tho third forty shots. The result showed conclusively that the group shooting only live times a day Improved In ac curacy with loss expenditure of time In practice than was required by either of the other groups for the same amount of Improvement. A report on the experiments says: "The relntlvelv greater elllcleney of short periods of practice continuing for mnny days Is In accordance with tho results' of the ntudy of animals and of speech habits In mnn'nnd Indicates that In training to muscular feats, In botb.'anlmnls and men, the length of practice periods re quired Is usually too great, for max imum efficiency."
