The Advantage of Good Highways . ,t There are 2,457,334 miles of public roads in the United States of which only 296,290 miles, or about 12 per cent, are surfaced. The rest are earth roads. If all the automobiles were evenly distributed over the roads of this country, it is

esumatea mat tnere would dq live motor cars to every two miles of road, and if every car were loaded to its limit with passengers, one-half the population of the United States could be hauled at one Joad. - . A t. X. OPT m n m m t

adoui oi per cent oi an tne motor vemcies m the world are on the roads of the United States. Of the 7,000,000 automobiles in the world on January 1, J919, 6,146,677 were in the United States, and the motor owners paid in' license arid other fees $51,477,416. The department of agriculture estimates that these 6,000,000 motor cars when theyTrun on unimproved roads pay about twice as much for gasoline and tires as when they run on surfaced roads. . Owners of automobiles, therefore, should be intensely interested in expenditures' for road construction, which in 1919 will reach about $500,000,000. Virtually all the states are planning continuous! systems of connecting highways and there is indication that the various states will co-operate 'among themselves so that hard surfaced roads will not terminate at the state lines but continue. We find a good example of this

m our own country where the old National Koad has been improved beyond the Ohio line so that one may travel almost the entire distance between Indianapolis and Dayton on hard surfaced

it that all the income is not spent on the first needs or desires lest other more urgent needs or desires appear. The determination of what is wise spending must rest with the individual, but he must be helped to overcome the temptation to satisfy present needs to the neglect of future

needs. On the other hand urgent necessities of today must not be neglected for the petty ones of tomorrow,. Provision1 must be made for the

rainy day and unforeseen emergencies, but

ecpnomic stability implies also some capital with

which to turn around, or to take advantage of op

portunity.

(2) INTELLIGENT SAVING. This consists

largely in foregoing ill-considered or foolish pres

ent expenditures in order to be able to secure in the future either necessities or ever the more substantial luxuries. Such saving is the opposite

of miserliness in that it involves chiefly the post

ponement of expenditure until small sums, which

would purchase little in themselves, have accumulated into substantial buying power. Such saving contemplates the maintenance of family, efficiency, meeting of real necessities as they arise, and, at the same time, capitalizing a part of the individual's earnings and placing the family on a sound financial basis. (3) SAFE INVESTMENT. With War Savings Stamps an absolutely solid and attractive investment, and also the most effective mechanism for saving small sums regularly, stress naturally will be placed upon investment in these and other government securities. Money saved in War Savings Stamps directly aids the government. The ownership of such government securities also gives the individual a personal share in his government that is helpful to practical citizenship. :'Z ' ' (4) AVOIDANCE OF WASTE. Waste, whether of commodity, time, or money,, benefits no one. .The war taught us to combat waste as a means of helping our army and navy and winning the war. Incidentally what was saved undoubtedly contributed directly to the well-being and happiness of each family. Avoidance of waste, of course, is as important to the nation or to the individual in peace as it is in war. The work of

the division, however, will be concerned princi-

roads.

- The United States has entered upon an era of J pally with helping individuals salvage waste in road construction that may parallel the tremen- j forms that directly result in monetary savings, dous expansion of railroad construction a number j susceptible of investment or wiser spending, of decades ago.. The development of our nation! Although this definition primarily is intended has been attributed, and rightly so, to the ex-j to assist the government in its sales of savings pansion of our railroad systems. The events of i stamps, nevertheless it holds true of all forms of

the last four years have demonstrated conclusively that the railroads running through the dense

ly settled sections of the United States are unable j

to cope with traffic that has been offered them, forcing shippers to find recourse in shipments by

serve as an auxiliary means to relieve the ship

ping tension. With the development ol the motor truck, the highway has come back into its own, and it is safe to predict that those states and communities which first realized the advantage of : harjd surfacing all roads, so as to facilitate shipmetftwill reap a corresponding harvest-in

new trdereiatipns. just, as tne raiiroaqs tnat penetrated new regions brought wealth to the ifioa tVipv tniipriprl anrl to thfi neonle who lived

in the surrounding districts, so good roads will nowadays bring money to the districts that appreciate their value. Definition of Intelligent Saving The savincrs division of the United States

treasury, after a study of thrift, says the keynote of the definition of intelligent saving is that

wise spending is the basis of intelligent saving

and that waste, whether of commodity or time,

profits no onel Under this theory, intelligent

savers utilize saving as a means of postponed en

ioyment with added interest. As intelligent

.saving, it is opposed to mere hoarding or miserliness. It states its definition in this expanded form: ;" : ;. . - "(l)-'WISE SPENDING. This means spending preceded by thought to make, certain that the purchaser gets his money's worth in comTmodity, comfort, service, recreation, or advancement. It implies the balancing of all needs, present and future, and of the means of meeting these needs, and then spending in such a way as to meet the most urgent needs, in essence it is a sort of budget making! Wise spending sees to

government investments, the Victory Loan not excepted. If a person has saved any- sum of money in excess of $50, he can find no better form of investment than a Victory Bond.

Ghosts of the Argonne (By Grantland Rice In the Saturday Evening Post) You can bear them at night when the moon is hidden; They sound like the rustle of winter leaves, Or lone lost winds that arise, unbidden, Or rain that drips from the forest eaves, Ae they glide again from their silent crosses To meet and talk of the.ir final fight, Where over the group some stark tree tosses Its eerie .shadow across the night.

If you'll take some night with its moonless weather,

I know you will reason beyond a doubt

That the rain and the wind and the leaves together

Are making the sounds :you' wiU hear about: , The wintry rustle of dead leaves falling, , " .. The whispering wind through the matted glen; But I can swear it's a sergeant calling The ghostly roll of his squad again.

To show in striking, dramatic manner that the present world unrest merely repeats chapters in history is the purpose of a stately, inspiring pageant which has been arranged by Dr. James E. Crowther of Seattle, Wash., for presentation at the bigr Methodist Centenary Celebration of June 20-JuIy 13 in Columbus, O. Understanding and comfort to the man bewildered by the trend of modern events are the . essentials Dr. Crowther desired to convey when he chose this most dignified form of public presentation.

Good Evening BY ROY K, MOULTON

"The old-fashioned mother may not oe very common these days,! observes the Richmond "Mlssourlan, "but then, God bless her, she never was."

A Coffeyvllle woman urging her need of a new hat was told by her husband that it would be a sin to spend so much money on just one hat. A compromise was effected, the "Journel" says, wherein the woman agreed that the sin should upon her own head.

"Some of these, guys In Wisconsin have a funny way of doin their bit," wailed the gob from Waukesha. "Here I blows home on a furlough and finds this guy rushin' my girl. I nails him and wants to know what the big idea Is. "Taint nawthin wrong,' the hick allows. 'All the time you was on the other side I simply took her down to the news , office every day to see whether you got killed or not. "

Who Was First School Teacher In Richmond?

Miss Lizzie kill, of North Tenth street, has come forward with information as to the identity of the first teacher who ever taught In Richmond, after reading The Palladium's article saying the first teacher was unknown. Temple Unthank, who taught here in 1818, on South Fourth street, near

tne river, was the first teacher, says Miss Hill. He did not remain in Richmond lcng, leaving in less than a year, and the second teacher was Beulah Pucket, who taught in 1822 and 1823, in a building in the square where the courthouse now stands. Miss Hill says she has often heard her father, Charles Hill, speak of the two pioneer teachers, and that he would often talk of the old-fashioned ways of the two. Her grandfather was Robert Hill, a Richmond pioneer, and a "conductor" on the "underground railway" by which slaves escaped to Canada during the Civil war.

We take it the prison Is fireproof, so let him flame. The main point is that he enters prison.

The Russell "Record" reports two

regrettable but preventable accidents in its last week's issue. One of them involved a young woman who burned herself In the eye with a curling iron, and the other a man who injured his

lip In splitting kindling.

A slight Increase In teachers' salaries, depending upon the length of their service with the county, was decided upon by the trustees, but they are not certain that the Increase can be granted, as it means more taxes, which -must be asked, for by petition before the state tax commission., Schools of the county wiU open on September 1. next fall, the trustees

decided. Appointment of a county at tendance officer was discussed but because the office can pay only 52 a day by law, the trustees decided it would not be of any use to ask for applications for the place. Purdue has not yet recommended a man for county agent, said Bond. -

They talk of war and its crimson glory. And laugh at the trick which Fate has played; And over and over they tell the story Of their final charge through the Argonne glade; But gathering in by hill and hollow With thein ghostly tramp on the rainsoaked loam, There is one set rule which the clan must follow: They never speak of returning home.

They whisper still of the rifle's clatter, The riveting racket machine guns gave, Until dawn comes and the clan must scatter As each one glicfes to his waiting grave; Put here at the end of their last endeavor However their stark dreams leap the foam There is one set rule they will keep forever: "Death to. the phantom which speaks of home!"

The professor of a certain medical college asked a student how much' of a certain medicine should be administered to the sufferer. "A tablespoonful!" promptly answered the young man.

doctor took out his watch. "My young friend," he observed gravely, "too late! Your patient has been dead forty seconds." The Turkish armistice led Playwright George Cohan to say at a dinner: "The Turk has well been called un

Jobs For Ex-Soldiers Not a New Problem

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. ?MpHB questions raised by the release of the soldier "; I from military service to civilian occupation are not - new.- They have been raised at the end of every war in which the United States has been engaged. Finding a job for the demobilized, keeping the wounded from becoming "hospitalized," helping the man newly from the -front back to a self-respecting status of, industrial independence, these big and burning issues that confront us in the present hour engaged the attention of the ' public spirited folk who at the close of the Civil War were doing for the returning warriors just what we are trying to do today. -The words that follow were written at Washington May 6, 1865. They might have been written yesterday. . . "Now that the excitement of actual war is over, : 'people are turning their attention to the question of how best to provide permanenUy for those soldiers who have been disabled in the service. ? "There Is a .feeling in the community that too much cannot, by any possibility, be done for the men who have ' become disabled in the war; that do all we may for their i comfort, we shall never half repay them for the sacrifices :they have, made or half balance pur debt of personal eratitude. - - - '.

"AH this is true, provided what we do for them is done in the right way. "But on the other hand, if we make these soldiers the recipients of an indiscriminate charity; if we seize upon them as the objects upon which we may work off this nervous philanthropic excitability and count the benefit rendered by the number we .get into asylums, where they can live without cars- or labor on their part, then we shall do more harm than good. "To keep ten men who naturally, almost necessarily, drift that way out of an asylum of ease and comfort, by teaching them how to use for self-support what muscle they have left, is a far- better work than to provide, year by year, food and shelter and liberal care for ten other men equally disabled. "Yet this is just the point which the community in its generous earnestness Is In danger of overlooking. "We want to lose sigh tf entirely of the questions of whether marble towers look better than pine barracks, while we keep our eye on the larger thought of how we can best and soonest restore these disabled men, so far as .is possible,, to their homes and into the working com

munity." "' - ' -

URIC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS

Alterations Free

iMlillll!!

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her

hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home Is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.- , i A well-known downtown druggist

says i.t darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two. It ' becomes

J beautifully dark and glossy. Adv.

Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back hurts or Bladder bothers you Drink more water. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, .but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms

uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become., sluggish and weaken, then you buffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and nush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for geenrations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, and makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink. Adv.
