Women Will Center Campaign tta

Rdnratlon at Towasjatera.
Mra Robert Faker, chairman of the re
cently created Woman's Auxiliary De
partment of th American Highway asso
ciation, has announced that aha had
completed her preliminary plana for or
ganising the women of the United States
Into a strong organisation which will
work continuously for the Improvement
of the roads of the nation, especially
rural roads.
At a reoent meeting of the executive
committee at which Mr. Ieonard Tuna,
chairman, Hon. Logan Waller Page, di
rector United RtaVa Office of Publlo
Roads, and President American Highway
association, Mr. Fairfax Harrison. Presi
dent Southern Railway. Mr. A. O. Batch-
elder, Chairman Hxeouttve Committee of
tha American Automobile association.
Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, Editor Manu
facturer's Record, and others were pre
sent. It was decided that a Women's
Auxiliary Department ahould be estab
lished to aid the women who have been
working individually for better roads In
their various communities.
Tha women of the country should learn
the value of good" roads, not only to the'
nation as a whole, but to individual wo
men and children. It Is th opinion of the
officials of the American Highway aaso
elation that if the women had an organ
isation through which they might ob.
tain all needful Information concerning
roads and tha most effective means ot
organisation, Inquiry and propaganda,
they would become a pownrful Influence
for efficient handling of road funds and
adequate road building and maintenance.
Help llr hoot- Children.
"Millions of children In the United
State," aald Mrs. Baker, "are educated
In -rural schools and yet at certain sea
sons, because of the deporable condition
of the roads, the children are unable to
get to school. Discipline la destroyed
and tit continuity of study la made Im
possible. Good roads will bring consoli
dation 'of the one room schools Into
graded schols and the us of school
wagons."
The country churches are not as a
wbole showing healthy growth and de
velopment, and it is upon three churches
at th virility of the city churches de
pend. Women' all over the land ahould
rally to the support of the good roads
movement when Its vital Influence upon
the home, tlv school and th church Is
so plainly shown,"
Arrangements are being made to bold
conference of prominent women under
the auspices of ths Woman's Auxiliary
Department In conjunction with tha
Fourth American Road Congreaa, In At
lanta, Ga., during the week beginning
November I.

The Boaea of t'olnmbas.
The iroroaal to lake the hones of
Columbus to the Panama exhibition will,
if carried out, add to the postmortem
mlleaue of that dead hero. Neither in
life nor death has Columbus known
peace. He died on Ascension Lay, W3.
and served a sort of seven years' ap
prenticeship to being buried at Valla
dolld. Then he was removed to the
1 VHhii.lttn nni'Anl .f I ..a 1 1 1 1 V In
Seville, and In 1M6 hia body was ex- !
humed and carried arroas the Atlantic, I
to be burled In the Cathedral of San !
Domingo.
Kor 2 years he lay in peace, but In I
ITHn part of the Island waa ceded to i
France, and it was deemed unfitting that 1
lie should sleep anywhere but In Hpantsh I
soli. The coffin waa accordingly re-
mov ed to Cuba, and burled In the cathe- i
dral of Pantlago. , It la aald that the j
benea of the explorer were divided, and
a piece of the skull and a few bones
left in Ban ' omlnxo. After the cession
ot Cuba to the United States, Columbus
once more set out on hla travels, and
what Is left of him now rests in the
cathedral of Seville.

lot of quail following a hen up the road,"
said the aummer boarder.
"Yea." repltod Farmer Corntossel.
"How do you explain It?"
"Various ways. Sometimes the phe
nomenon Is due to the fact that lots of
people don't know the difference between
a quail and a young brown leghorn."
