State Supervision of Roads The condition of the National road, main artery of travel east and west through Wayne county, does not flatter the attention which the maintenance department of the state highway

commission is giving to thoroughfares which

have been placed under its supervision. For many months the road ha3 been in sad need of repair. It needs to be resurfaced in many places and requires considerable attention to bring it back to a high state of repair. One' of the persuasive arguments of the friends of a state highway commission was the promise of keeping the roads in uniform and good repair. It was argued that a centralized l)ody of road engineers would put an end to inefficient road supervision, and that a patrol system, well organized and wisely directed, would detect holes and surface irregularities before "highways were almost impassable. The condition of the macadamized National road east and

west of here indicates that the present system is far from being as good as the old one, directed

by Superintendent Jones, was.

The commission cannot excuse the. condition

of the road by saying that money to make the

repairs is not at hand. Wayne county pays about $24,000 to the state for the support of the state road system, and it is highly problematical if more than $15,000 is spent on the roads of this

Luxury Craze Over That the American public is emerging from its orgy of reckless and extravagant spending is apparent from reports gathered from various government departments. The treasury department says Liberty bond sales are on the increase, many banks reporting an unprecedented demand for smaller denominations by their customers. Luxury taxes show a decline on many articles, according to a statement from the internal revenue bureau. Importations of cut and uncut diamonds

have dropped and 5,000 diamond cutters are idle

in Antwerp because Americans have decreased

their purchases, says the commerce department.

A comparison of luxury taxes this year with collections in 1919 shows a drop on the following articles: Taxes on sales of perfumes and cosmetics decreased 30 per cent ; collections on automobiles for hire, 8 per cent; candy sales, about 100 per cent; soft drink sales, about 100 per cent. Speculation is tapering off, according to tax receipts, on brokerage business. Economic experts do not agree in their explanation of the waning epidemic of spending.

Some assert that the excessively high prices for food, clothing, heat and shelter take such an abnormal amount from their wages that there is nothing left for luxuries. Others believe Americans are beginning to save money. A complete economic readjustment seems impossible, however, until the necessities of life attain a normal status. Few families are able to

save much money these days, even with the strictest self-denial. Commodity prices have shown little tendency to drop, despite predictions made early in the year that the peak had been attained.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

MAPS What wonderful ihings maps are! In my office Is a large one showing all the cities where there are those with whom I do business. And I doubt

whether there are many In that office who appreciate how fascinating that map is to me. I watch it from day to day. It is my mind's playground the inspiration of my future plans. And the entire world is clear in my mind, because I have studied the maps of its many parts. I have noticed that good travelers are all the time studying their maps, and seeing themselves nearer their Journey's end mile by mile, as shown on their maps. The general sits for hours and etudies his map, and that way plans his battle. Few victories would ever be won without a map of the situation. But the most interesting and important map in the world, to you and to me, is the map that each of us must prepare for ourselves if we would know where we are to go and what we are to do. The aimless and purposeless man or woman has no map. That is evident. iBut if you could uncover the brain of the builder, or inventor, or business man, or any forward traveling person, you would see as definite a plan in map form as you see when you look fLt your railroad map. People who know where they are

going, always carry maps in their Ipockets or in their minds. ; Have you a map? Do you refer to it each day? Can you see by following Jt that you are just a little further ,onward at the close of each one of -your days? Maps are of little or no value just US decorations. They must mean eomething, or else they take up valuable space. Have a map of your entire life plan. :JCeep adding to it as you grow. The "bigger the man or woman, the bigger find more carefully must the map be worked out. ! Do nothing, without seeing the step ahead on your map!

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

"Why not call Richmond "The Bankrupt City," instead of the "Panic Proof iCIty," suggested Attorney Will Bond At council meeting when the mayor fljiade a speech opposing a resolution '.Attorney Bond drew up asking for an impropriation of $200 for band con(Oerts at Glen Miller park. Mr. Bond Said that there were many people in iRlchmond who were financially unable to take a summer vacation and must bo furnished amusement at home. Final papers were signed which Urould give Richmond's Fall Festival one of the best hippodrome performances offered any place in the country. The exact location for the hippodrome had not been decided upon but it was mutually agreed that it should be centrally located.

Dinner Stories

THE FAMILY PICNIC. The first thing to do when organizing a family picnic is to select a day when it is reasonably certain that a large thunder cloud full of rain will chase all over the state looking for this picnic and then will finally settle down at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The next step is to invite 37 relatives who do not speak to one another on account, of an old will feud in the family. Then pick out a picnic ground that is five miles from the end of the trolley line over a dusty road. Some people do not make a success of family picnics because they don't go at it right. They try to make everything come out right and to ar rango a fool-proof picnic. As a result everything goes wrong and none of the relatives ever speaks to them again. The right thing to do is to arrange for the worst in every possible way, including the traveling arrangements, the food, the entertainment and the weather. Then, on account of the general stubbornness and perversity of picnics something Is liable to go right. One of the best ways to arrange a family picnics to carefully plan all

details except the place. Invite all the various branches of the family, but do not tell them where the picnic is to be held. Make them look around for them

selves and then it is certain that every branch of the family will go to a different place without a riot, and every bedy will vote to have another one just like it next year. There was once a kind-hearted man who got up a family picnic and paid all the expenses himself. He hired automobile buses, called for everybody who was invited, took everybody to the picnic grounds, served a dinner prepared by a high-priced catering company, hired a symphonic orchestra to play, and made every person present a gift of a gold watch or a diamond brooch. It was a fine affair, but the relatives got to talking about him-and about each other, and before the dinner was reached and ever since then he has been accused of every crime from carrying hooch to murdering Joe ElwelL

in Seattle and Portland, he will hear of something greatly to his advantage. Anybody giving proof with regard to his death will be handsomely rewarded.

Oh! The Tunes the Old Village Band Was Guilty Of Ohio State Journal The man whose boyhood years brought no opportunity for membership in the village band missed a real experience and a world of fun. There

is no other experience, in all that comes to boy or man, like it; no other supplies what it brings. It comes at a time when youthful ardor spurs the individual to the hardest work where there is least reward in substantial things. But it is not profitable, it is lory for which the youngster in the band seeks. The appeal to effort is supplied by the glamour that surrounds the task. The spotlight makes an appeal, quite as certain and irresistible to the lad in the village as to the prima donna. How the heart of young America swells when the new brass horn is

first his! Later, when the band gets new instruments, all brightly silverplated, another new swelling of the heart is experienced. Then when the uniforms are secured, when the band makes its appearance at some gathering of more than local prominence, then the cup of joy is filled. With what eagerness do the members tramp along the streets on a long march, no matter how rough may be the streets or how the sun may blister; If they lead the parade, If the streets are filled with wide-eyed wondering boys ?nd girls, then the cup of the member of the village band member is filled to the brim. To the youngster who gets in it is a never-to-be-forgotten event. It marks the time when he steps away from the things pertaining to boyhood and takes part with men in the important affairs of life. It is a great experience to those who have had a share in it. It is in the heart of every live boy to be a member of the band. He is licher in pleasant memories and better in his knowledge of the world if he realized his ambition.
