Naturally Frightened.
Decayed and fungoid wood is alsc
‘fox fire.” On one occasion some oi
this was used for a camp fire, and
many of the broken fragments were
, scattered over the ground where the
men were sleeping. The fire died out
| during the night and one of the party
j awoke, and In his fright woke the
rest, who were equally terrified, be
lieving that they were lying amont
live coals.
At Least Knew His Value.
A native, named Appu, of Kotahana,
Ceylon, recently attacked his father
and mother with a mallet while they
were asleep, and nearly killed them.
The excuse he subsequently gave
was that he was disgusted with his
‘‘miserable parents for having such a
| low-down son.”

European Road Building.
By Clarence A. Kenyon.
(From Municipal Engineering,
August, 1913.)
Clarence A. Kenyon repre
sented the American Highway
Association and the Indiana
Good Roads Association as a
delegate to the International
Road Congress, held in London,
Erg., June 23, 1913. Mr. Ken
yon is a practical highway en
gineer who has been engaged in
road and street building for
many years. He has studied
and watched the rapid develop
ment of the science of road
building in America in a man
ner so thorough as to mark him
as an authority. For this rea
son he is particularly fitted to
point out the many interesting
facts brought forth at the re
cent London Congress, where
three thousand delegates rep
resented thirty-nine different
nations.
From every country comes
the cry, “What are we to do
with our roads?’' The increase
of the travel on them has so
multiplied that roads that were
strong enough and good enough
a few years ago are no longer
adequate. What is to be done?
Shall we neglect the roads until
the public no longer uses them
except when it is imperative?
If we do the country falls into
decay, tenants and workmen
will not stay on the land, and
the towns and cities adjacent
thereto lose prestige and popu
lation.
Again, many of the roads
were so poorly constructed and
of such inferior material that
the cost of upkeep is so great
we cannot raise the money to
pay the expense of adequate
maintenance. Must we recon
struct them, and if so how and
with what materials, and how
can we convince the taxpayers
of the necessity and utility of so
doing?
Such are the questions that I
have heard engineers and road
authorities ask in Spain, Italy,
France and England as I passed
through those countries, and
such are the questions that are
on everyone’s lips here in Lon
don at the International Roads
Congress, at which there are
thirty-nine countries represent
ed by over three thousand dele
gates.
France has been, up to five
years ago, the leading good
roads country of the world, but
France has passed to second
place. Great Britain has pass
ed her, and why? With the
great increase of automobile
traffic of various kinds it has
been found that those macadam
or gravel roads over which pass
considerable traffic, no matter
how well built, cannot be main
tained except at a cost far in
excess of any amount that the
taxpayers will pay or the road
authorities will levy, and yet
these are the very roads that
the public desire to use the
mAof • *■
In France the roads are
practically as good as ever, but
the surfaces of the heavily tra
veled roads are wearing out,
not one or a few places, but
over the whole surface. What
can the patrolman do in such
cases? He is not adequate for
the task.
In England the taxpayers wel
come road construction and im
provements as a means of bet
tering local conditions and add
ing to local wealth.
The English taxpayers have
come to see the necessity for
greater appropriations for re
construction and upkeep, de
claring that without roads their
country will be almost uninhab
itable. They say that they have
long since passed the point
where it does any good to rail
at the automobile; that vehicle
is Here to stay. Then why not
make the roads good ? Make the
auto owners help pay the cost,
i
and treat them so well that they
will come into your country, for
the reason that they always
leave some money there. Let us
get them and their money and
not drive them away, is the cry.
We were in one small town in
the interior of Wales that, five
years ago, they told us, was
dead. It is now quit alive. We
saw signs on practically every
house offering “afternoon teas”,
luncheons, dinners or some ar
ticle for sale- *•
Safety In Friendship.
An Intimate friendship is at once
a safeguard in recreation and social
enjoyment, for a man thinks twice be
fore he plunges into surroundings
which he knows his best friend would
condemn. It is a stimulus, because
In work or business, or even play, a
man does not willingly lag behind
while the friend is forging ahead. In
common endeavors for good causes,
religious or social or political, friend
ship Is a powerful Inducement to self
forgetting activity.
Cheerful Men Succeed.
The men whom I have seen succeed
best in life have been cheerful and :
hopeful men, who went about their
business with a smile on their faaeB, I
and took the changes of this mortal j
life like men, facing rough and j
smooth alike as it came.—Charles
Kingsley.
■ . ■ ■■ —
Humility First.
We shall never be the “light of the
world” except on condition of being
the “salt of the earth.” You have to
do the humble, Inconspicuous, silent
work of checking corruption by a pure
example before you can aspire to do
the other work of raying out light Into
the darkness, and so drawing men to
I Christ himself.—Alexander McLarea.
