Prior to the development of the automobile, and ’lie building of our yood roads, most of the Inhabitants of our rural districts led comparatively 'solated lives. The difficulty met in getting about the country, and the strenueusness of farm work, kept most of the farmers, their families. aUu their employees, tied down to ths ! farm the greater part of the year. A* i a result of the monotony and cocstanl | toil, men and women eaiiausteu their i strength and energy early, became prematurely old. und were often inI capacitated through lack of proper reci roatlon and relaxation. ROADS IN NATIONAL FORESTS Government Ha* Appropriated $34,542,062 for Building Highway* and Trail*. A total of $34,542,062 has been appropriated by the government to the states for roads and trails within or adjacent to the national forests. Total expenditures of federal and co-opera-tive funds amounting to $22,216,724 have already been disbursed. To date, 4,786 miles of reads and 6,711 mile* i of trail have beau constructed and I 8,744 miles of road and trail have been repaired and Improved, says the forest service, United States Department of Agriculture. i GOOD ROADS BUILT IN '.222 1 Total of 28,000 Mlles Conatructed Last Year—Half of It With Fedora) Aid. A total of 28.000 mile* of good roads was built In th* United States last year, or a distance equal to ten times the width of the country. Half of this mileage has been built by the state governments in conjunction with federal aid. The remaining 14,000 mile* were constructed independently of federal assistance. Pay for Service Rendered. If the public surfaces a road and saves the owner of the rolling stock a 1 large percentage of the cost of operating bls car, the owner should be required to pay back a fair share of the savings. This should not be called a tax, It would be a charge for service j rendered. Concrete Paving Pricee. Concrete paving prices during 1,922 have been averaging on contracts for 125 miles of 18-foot pavement, approx imately $26,400 a mile.

Every shopkeeper along the Via si>lula in -Naples knew hl* lordfehlp. aud every one us them admitted that a more repretentative*member of the British uristacracy hgd never vleiteiji Italy. Lord Herbert was nut only lavish with bls money, but it was whispered around the Grand Hotyl di Napoli Unit id* daughter, Sylvia, syou was to be married to one of tl>e richyst men in England. Therefore when fbe English uobieluau wandered into the establishment of the largest jeweler In Naples some two month* after his arrival in the city and asked to be shown some diamond necklace*, (here was an iiuiuediate scurry to wait upon him. Finally the proprietor himself requested l.urd Herbert to come into Li* private office he took from the safe a necklace valued at 45U.l*At francs, the ; property of a client who was in financial straits. “1 would like tu purchase something to give my daughter for a wedding ‘ present.’’ explained the Englishman, and the jeweler nodded, for tne rumors of the engagement had already reached his ears. “I’m afraid, though,* continued bis lordship, “that thia necklace Is a little more expensive thun 1 can afford at the moment. 1 duii’t doubt Its value, but I’ll have to have a little time to think it over.” “Certainly,” agreed the jeweler. “I will be pleased tu hold It as lung us you wish and, should you desire to see and examine it again. 1 will be very glad to bring It to the hotel at your convenience." "That would be excellent,’’ assented the visitor, “but 1 naturally do not wish my daughter to know anything about the transaction. The whole mati ter is to be a surprise to her.” A few days later, in response to 1 Lord Sheffield’s request, the jeweler took the necklace to the Grand hotel and found the Englishman alone In i the room. After a very careful ex--1 amination of the diamonds terms were agreed upon and Lord Sheffield bad Just produced his letter of credit from hl* wallet when a girl’s voice was beard ia the corridor, just outside the : door. “My daughter!" exclaimed the Engi Hshman. “She mustn't know any--1 thing about Uiis.” and he swept the necklace and the wallet Into the dravv'er ofTfiß <fesW'fief.>fe which he ifkt. A uiument later Sylvia Sheffield came in and announced that her father's tailor had arrived and wished to see him at once. Excusing himself with the statement that be would be back very shortly. Lord Herbert left the room and his daughter followed him immediately. When half an hour had passed the Jeweler began to wonder whut was detaining his client, but be didn’t worry in the least because his ueckluce and his lordship's wallet were there in the drawer of the desk, right under his hand. The transaction luvolved too much money to warrant any Impatience. so it was not until two hours had slipped by before the Jeweler rang for the hotel clerk and requested to know what was detaining Lut'd Sheffield. “His lordship and Miss Sylvia left ■ the hotel nearly two hours ago,’’ was | the reply. “They had received a cable- ' gram from England.” Sensing that he had beeu robbed, the ' Jeweler tugged at the drawer of the desk only to find that It wits locked, ' hut a mumeut's examination of the | next room sufficed to show that the - wall against which the desk was placed bad been pierced and that the whole procedure hud been a plot to lift the necklace and make a quick getaway. Lvigl Bonfi, one of tbe shrewdest detectives In Naples, was immediately placed tn charge of the ease and telegruplied to Rome to have the pair arrested. Sheffield, anticipating such a move, bad planted two confederates In the capital, and by the time that the pulice hud found that their alibi wa* ' Ironclad the real criminals were well on their way northward. Then followed oue of the longest chases in eoutlneutal detective history. Finally, after more than eight I months, he located them in London, ' only to be met by tbe downright denial of the Eugiiabmau that he had ever used the name of Sheffield or had ever been in Naples. He accounted for his' possession of a number of unset diamonds by the statement that he had bought them In the Argentine and exhttdted a bill of sale covering the gems. To this Bonfl made no reply, but whipped out a jeweler’s magnifying glass and commenced to examine the diamond*, oue by one. Then, before the Englishman knew what he was doing, he leaned forward and snapped a pair of handcuffs on him. “Bills of sale,” -said the Italian detective, “are easy enough to forge, but you can't forge a diamond —and oue of those In your possession has a triangular flaw In precisely tbe same place as did one of those in the Motitori necklace I” "Lord Sheffield" spent the uert twelve year* iu prison. The girl escaped.

. IMPROVED ' - ROADS I WWW « ««« « > COUNTRY OF GOOD HIGHWAYS New Federal Act Will Qtv* United States Bast System of Improved Road* in World. The uew federal highway act will give the United States the beat highway system Ui the world. This menu* greater comfort* for sightseer* as they motor over the country, and it means direct public benefit* in better transportation of farm product* to shipping point*. Money expended for improved highway* is mousy wisely invested, providing the program I* kept within the ability of taxpayers to pay the bill without burdenlug themselves unduly. About IWJ OUU miles of road ure included in the system being mapped out by federal and state engineer* The federal highway act requires that all federal aid be spent on a connected system consisting of not more than 7 per cent of tbe road mileage iu each state, and that this whole scheme shall consist of interstate and primary roads aud intercouuty and secondary loads. Several states have adjusted somewhat difficult problems from neighboring state*. For example, the Nebraska system show ed a big gap in au important highway along the northern boundary. South Dakota has agreed to follow with a road plau which will tit like picture* on toy blocks. Under tiie federal act, only road* certain to be un the general system have been approved for construction. The days of highway building by the .armers in their spare time is becoming a thing of the past. The Job Is being done on a Mg scale now. HIGHWAY NEEDS OF FORESTS To Complete Necessary System 13,560 Mlles of Road* Must Be Constructed. (Frfepu*C fey tb* t’nltsd D*p*rtm*nt er A*nouUur« ) A comprehensive study 1* nuw being made of the road need* of the national forests, according to the annual report of the forest service. United States Department of Agriculture. The figures available Indicate that to complete the necessary system of forest development roads and trails, 13,560 Ij4 ll mW Hi Forest Roast In Oregon. miles of roads and “7,114 miles of trail* must be constructed at an estimated expenditure of $64,683,000. For the system of forest highways of primary importance to the states, counties and communities the rough survey indicates that $107,658,000 must be expended for construction or improvement. If the present current appropriations are continued, it appears possible to complete the development of an adequate road system within the national forests covering all requirements in from 20 to 28 years. REPUBLIC’S FUTURE IN ROADS Together With Railroad* and Water Route* Highway* Ar* of Tremendous Importance. Development of the Far Eastern Republic through more highways Is predicted in the booklet “Trade und Industries," published by the special delegation of that country to the United States of America. “Together with the railroads and water routes,'' says the report, "highways are of tremendous importance. The purpose of highways, among others, la ou the one band to carry through the territory of the country commodities sot export, and to direct these commodities into the principal routes, and ->n the other hand, to distribute among the population the Imported good* received from the principal routes. By these highways it will be possible to reach the known v**t mineral deporlts. In the near future It will be toastble to organize, either through the government or by private means, automobile and tractor transportation of freight on the same commercial basis existing at the present time on tbe railroads and water routes.” Common Sense With Road*. Common sense knows It is better to put a good, but Inexpensive covering on a road and maintain It than to lay the best, but most expensive surface and uilow it to deteriorate through lack of maintenance. Surfacing Saves Fuel. Comtng off dirt roads onto gravel you unconsciously loosen up on the throttle, the car goes faster, less gasoline Is consumed, und there Is less wear and tear on the car, with greater comfort to the users.
