Cautious Prisoner
The following conversation betweei
i prosecuting attorney and a prisonei
vas heard in a courtroom far up ir
he mountains of West Virginia:
“Prisoner, do you know this man?’
“I’ve seen him.”
“Did you maliciously assault him?’
“I hit him.”
“Did you use a dangerous weapon?'
“No, I had a club.”
“Did you knock him down?”
“He fell.”
“Did you hurt him?”
The prisoner smiled for the flrsl
time. “Ask him,” he replied.—Youth’s
Companion.
No Harm in That
Doctor—I forbid all brain work.
Patient—But I am a poet.
Doctor—You can go on with that.

Poor motor roads stifle
industry and agriculture;
waste huge sums annu
j ally in high maintenance

There is not a state, not
a county, not a commu- j
nity, that isn’t paying a
heavy price for having
too few permanent roads.
There are still many sections
of the country—even whole
states—that are trying to operate
twentieth century traffic over
nineteenth century roads.
This is costing millions of dol
lars every year, and will keep on
costing millions until we have
well developed permanent high
way systems everywhere.
Even what we often call the
\ more progressive communities
are far behind the demands of
modern highway traffic with its
, 16,000,000 motor vehicles.
From the Atlantic to the Pa- f

Have Gained in Volubility.
Ella Hep*,orth Dixon, In th<*> West*
minister Gazette.
The women of the last generation
were, as Miss Mayor, that observant
novelist points out, "incapable of
discussion. They were as inartic
ulate as the uneducated, though
often almost erudite.” Certainly
those women were better read than
most girls are nowadays; they knew
several modern languages, painted
tolerably in water-colors, played
Beethoven, and read their Robert
Browning. But the mass of upper
middle-class women did not talk well.
They bored their partners at din
ner. The late Sir Victor Horsly used
to declare to young women that only
*s the twentieth century dawned did
he begin to enjoy dining out. Before
that time it was considered "not
quite nice” for women to air their
opinions at the dinner table. Like
children, they were there to be seen,
not heard.
How many of us can remember a
mother in pink silk flounces who ac
cused some feminine guest at a
dinner party of having "talked for
effect?” To talk for effect was as
much a crime in later Victorian so
ciety as to “dress for effect.” Neither
was in the best taste. "My dear, eat
your dinner and do not talk so much"
was the parting advice handed out,
later on, when the daughters took
their mother’s place at London dinner
parties. How odd it would sound
now, when most of the talk issues
from feminine flips, and the men sit
round, amused and listening!
The chief drawback of conversing
with the young nowadays is that
they all talk at once and seldom
listen for a reply. It Is something
of an achievement to get a word in
edgeways, and even then you may
be proud if it is taken up and argued
about before it is dismissed for good.
The Voluntary System.
From the London Times.
The figures on the Income and ex
penditure of British hospitals situ
ated outside of London as ascer
tained by Dr. Kay Menzies, acting on
behalf of the Joint Council of the
Order of St. John and the British
Red Cross society, deserve the close
attention of the public. They are re
markable both in their magnitude
and in their relationship to each
other. Thus income exceeded expen
diture last year by the amount of
£213,694, while a sum of more than
£7,000,000 was actually obtained
from voluntary subscriptions.
This large volume of support has
flowed not from a few wealthy men
or women, but from the whole people,
rich and poor alike. It represents a
national impulse to serve the weak
and the disabled which, without
doubt, is as strong as it Is inspiring.
In face of this expression of good
will, statements to the effect that
the "voluntary system” has failed or
outlived its usefuless lose their point
The voluntary system, as these re
turns clearly indicate, has given to
a whole people the means of ex
pressing continuously its kindest and
most unselfish feelings. It has
organized the spirit of service on be
half not only of the sick, but also of
humanity; and the greatest gain is
to the givers. Indeed It Is no exag
geration to say that, as a people,
we owe a great debt to all those who,
by Inviting help for the hospitals,
have made vast numbers of their
feilowcitizens partners In the noblest
of enterprises. The advocates of med
ical socialism overlook this aspect.
At a heavy charge on the National
Exchequer they may promise larger
institutions equipped with more cost
ly apparatus—though it Is possible
that even this promise may not be
fulfilled. But it is hard to see what
they can give to compensate for the
lost of that sense of comradeship In
misfortune which is the most pre
cious of ail the elements of a free
will offering.
Oup Debt to Children.
By Norman Hapgood, in Hearst’s
International.
Better teachers, fuller school equip
ments, it matters not what they cost
We owe them to our children. And
we owe them more. We owe them
our own example. What we do, and
the lives they live with us, will affect
them most. Give them a chance to
be careful in their childhood, to prac
tice thorny, to do for themselves.
If the greatest men have usually been
born In the country and later gone
to the city, there Is a reason. Hux
ley warns us not to let a child’s
schooling interfere with Its education.
It ought to have the best schooling
our brains and our purses can pro
cure. But its deepest education Is In
the hands of Its parents.

BLAZE CAUSES
A IVY LOSS
Masonic Temple and Hard
ware Building at Worth
ington, Minn., Burn
Worthington, Minn., Dec. 7. (Spec
ial)—A spectacular fire, discovered
shortly after midnight Sunday morn
ing, destroyed the Masonic Temple
and the building occupied by the
Rickbeil Hardware company, caus
ing a Joss estimated at $46,500 and
, insurance of but $31,700.
The fire was discovered in the
Rickbeil store, where explosives, am
munitions and oils were stored. A large
quantity of dynamite was removed

oil containers and of ammunition
shells frequently sent flames high in
to the air and caused much excite
ment. The loss to this establishment
was estimated at $18,000. There was
$13,000 insurance.
The Masonic lodge lost Its building
and paraphernalia, valued, at a low
estimate, at $20,000. It carried but
$15,700 in insurance.

first floor of the Masonic building
had a total loss of stock and fixtures
valued at $8,500. There was but $3,000
i insurance on this establishment.

beil store escaped and managed to
save most of their furniture. Their
losses and insurance are not known.
Tho fire was prevented from
spreading further Into the block by
the fire wall which separated the
Rickbeil store and the Geyerman

New York Solon Introduces
Bill to Assure Future
Of Service
Universal Service.
Washington, Dec. 7.—Despite its
splendid record, the United States air
mall service Is, technically, but a
temporary organization, living a hand
to mouth existence, and could be put
out of business at a moment’s notice
without the consent of congress, Rep
resentative F. H. La Guardia of New
York said Sunday.
La Guardia is In charge of a bill,
due for action in the House Wednes
day, which proposes to give the post
master general definite statutory
authority to transport the mails by
airplane. Just as he now has authority
by law to employ the railroads.
"This may not seem Important at
first glance,” La Guardia said, "but
as a matter of fact it Is vital. Un
less that authority is granted an un
sympathetic postmaster general could
stop the air mail at his will and
pleasure.
“The air mall service needs this
definite guarantee of permanency to
remove forever the feeling of enter
talnty that now exists.
"The air mall is no longer a ven
ture. The trans-continental service
has Justified itself. They are flying
by night with 96 per cent, efficiency.
We are developing first class avia
tors who will be trained and ready
for any call that may come for na

Study Decay of Stone
Granite and marble and the other
kinds of stone used In buildings an*
not nearly so eternal as most people
imagine. The surface gradually de
cays and cracks off. On many old
buildings in England this has already
become a serious danger. Now the
United States bureau of standards is
studying this problem on buildings in
New York in the hope of finding some
way to protect the stone before the
damage becomes serious. The decay
is believed to be due to the action of
gases and moisture of the air.
