CONGRESS ON GOOD ROADS HELD TODAY Plea For Federal Aid in Improving National Highways Made.

LIFE'S "LITTLE IRONIES"

1ST ANNUAL MEETING

Joint Committee Is Composed of Congressmen and Senators.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, March 6. A plea for Federal aid in improving national highways was the keynote of the first session of the 2nd annual convention of the Federal Aid Good Roads Congress which convened here today under the auspices of the American Automobile Association. Delegates to the convention from all parts of the United States stated that only, through the aid of the Federal Government could the roads of the nation be brought to a high degree of efficiency. The movement -was set afoot at the first annual convention of the congress. Later the United States congress, acting on its recommendation, appointed a joint committee to investigate the subject. Those in charge of

the convention were confident today that favorable action would be takea by the government in the near future. The joint committee appointed by Congress consists of Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, chairman; Senator Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania, Senator A. J. Gronna, of North Dakota, Senator Lee F. Overman of North Carolina and Senator Claude A. Swanson of Virginia. Representatives D. W. Shakleford of Missouri, Gordon Lee of Georgia, Daniel J. McGIUicuddy of Maine; Martin B. Madden of Illinois, and Richard W. Austin of Tennessee. This committee has been collecting information on the subject of Federal aid in road building and will report at the extra session of congress. The Federal Aid Congress will adjourn tomorrow night. The National Grange will have a spokesman in the person of C. S. Stetson of Maine. Mr. Stetson is the chairman of the executive committee of the Grange and is one of the most important figures in the country identified with the road building movement. Mr. Stetson has devoted much of his time to the consideration of country roads and it is expected that he will talk along the lines of rural highway construction. The National Chamber of Congress

"will more than, likely, be represented ty its president, Harry A. Wheeler, who is said to have already prepared a very able addresB on the relation of the Chamber of Congress to Good Roads. The position of the American Automobile Association in respect of Federal aid in road building was set forth in a recent interview by chairman George C. Delhi, of the good roads board of the A. A. A. Mr. Diehl said: "There are certain main roads in every community leading to country seats and very populous centers, the cost of which it would be unjust to tax upon townships, for the usefulness of these roads under the new conditions includes the county as a whole. Consequently each township and each property owner, should only pay his proper share In the improvement of this class of highways. The wider area of travel makes necessary the opening of Improved . highways between country seats leading to populous centers, and important marketing points. "The same relation which exists between town and county, and between the county and state, in the improvement of certain classes of highways, should exist between each state and the Federal Government. Highways of an interstate character, those leading from the capital of one State to the capital of another those trunk lines leading to great centers of population, to points. of public Interest; to popular resorts; in fact any highway and major portion of the mileage travel over which originates outside the state, should properly be constructed at the expense of the Federal Government.

And, so far as we tack the nomenclature to the thing it symbolizes, it may be. That is, may be "high life." In any event it is of those conspicuously in the famed public eye. And of one of our compatriots. In other words Lady Randolph Churchill has secured a divorce from her youthful George Cornwallis West. Divorces are frowned upon in England. The puritanic Mary, Queen of the Britons, and flaunting kingly domesticity from the high places, looks not upon the divorcee with complacence. And the English church is more or

Lady Churchill, however, is not animadverted upon here as a horrible example of how to do it when you know how and have a pull. But because she is a shining example of matrimonial folly. When the beautiful Lady Randolph ChurchllL married Mr. George Corn

wallis-West In 1900, she was forty-six, looked thirty and was old enough to be her husband's mother. The former was, indeed, but a few months older than Lady Churchill's famous son, Winston Churchill. But "love will find a way." At forty-six a woman may have all the seductiveness of twenty plus the fascination of experience. In thirteen year3 time, however, when forty-six is fifty-nine well, that's another thing. And so George Cornwallis-West found it. There is no folly as great as the marriage of youth and age, either one way or the other. Although the truth is that it is not so perilous when the balance is on the man's side. A woman ages about ten years faster than a man, under normal conditions. And frequently faster. In an even race, the woman generally gets the worst of it. But with a handicap of a generation she is, in the last analysis, the loser. And the tragic loser. There have been glaring examples of this.

The Style of Sticks Used by the Sluggers Varies Greatly. TleaTy hitters of the past and present hav always been of widely different opinions regarding their bats. Dan Broutbers. the veteran slugger, expressed the feelings of most players when he said the bat makes little difference to a batsman as long as It feels comfortable and the owner looks upon his favorite stick with something like affection. It can be well added that tbe style of the batter sometimes has little to do with bis hitting, whether it be the
