Rev. 21:4. NARROW ROADS Smooth, all-year highways have been built to connect city with city, but the traffic problem is as acute as ever. Such states as New York, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois boast of their complete systems of improved roads, ' but the traveler finds those roads badly congested. The motorist can go almost anywhere without encounter ing roads impassable because of mud, but he cannot approach a large city, nor drive far on Sunday or a holiday, without finding roads nearly impassable because of traffic congestion. Road construction in recent years has gone on at a rapid pace in every section of the United States, but few roads are wide enough to meet present traffic needs. That highway which can carry peak traffic without congestion is rare indeed. On a 20 foot road, with one lane of traffic proceeding in each direction, a car travelling 20 niiles an hour can hold ' up a long line of cars for miles. If traffic in the other direction is heavy, cars coming from the rear of a slow I moving vehicle cannot pass without endangering life and '. traffic. A;! Twjo-track roads are not adequate for present day needj. ; In the motor age they occupy the same relative position as the one-track 'roads of the horse age. ' With the number of vehicles constantly increasing, and cities constantly growing, 1 ' it is becoming evident that there will be a return to the rail , road as the most economical means of fast and comfortable transportation. : l AIR MAIL DEFICIT ; When the federal government first subsidized commercial gviation by paying air transport lines, for the delivery of mail, more than the government received for carrying that mail, it was expected that some day the air transports would bo self-supporting and able to carry mail at a profit for the government, or at least at cost. g. Postmaster General Brown and his assistant in charge pf the air mail, W. Irving Glover, have just told the air mail contractors of the government's dissatisfaction with the progress thus far made in the efficient and economical operation of mail planes. They also expect the contractors to go out and secure more air mail to carry. These are not unfair demands on the part of the post office department. Of its minimi deficit, $20,000,000 is occasioned by air-mail contracts. Moreover, it is the depart ment which must go to congress for money to make up this deficit, or, in oilier words, fight the battles of the air-mail carriers. Congress has been generous in this subsidization, but it expects results. Perhaps the air transports have done all they can to make the service- they render efficient and economical. If that is true, it is up to the public, if it wants fast mail delivery, to patronize the air mail delivery better than it has in the past. It is a preferred service which may have to bo maintained by more general use for ordinary mail. Once the volume of mail equals the capacity of the facilities the air mail will cease to be a burden upon the government. WAGES OK CRIME Does crime pay? Available figures say it does not.. Crim inals must think it does, else there wouldn't bo so many of them and so few who reform. The probability is that crime pays largo dividends as long as the criminal is out of jail, but not when the lawbreaker runs afoul of the law. It is known with certainly that crime does not pay for the time the criminal spends behind the bars. The point with which the public is concerned is that no figures, however conclusive of the economic failure of tlio convicts, will have much effect on the criminal. If there is one thing that is impossible, it is to mono n nnrii.,.,.i,i character, or even a potential criminal, into obedience io law. The crook is by nature a gambler, and ho is willing t take the chances of making good his escape after a robberj'. He recognizes that ho will be a loser if caught and convicted, but it is the large chance he has of escaping with no punish ment that helps to make crime prevalent. 1 ; Law enforcement officers point to the fact that certainty of punishment is what the United States most needs. There is always room for the man who can be relied upon to deliver the goods when and as he said he would. It is important to cultivate good habits. P.ad ones seem to grow like wild dandelions.

Chapter 10 HUNTING THE WILL HASWELL considered Rich mond's brcscntaMon of Blake's nosltinn. "Am vou succestinc." he asked Anally, "that the nephew mur dered Miss Quordling, that he stole tho will or both?" "What do you tnink?" 1 "Well," be began, "It Is not easy to see how Vincent could have known about tho will, it the girls did not. and If only the aunt and her lawyer knew. It be is in it, he rust she added suddenly. -When did you see It? Where?" asked Richmond. "She was reading It. It was like the gentleman says large sheets o' paper, written over, and tied with green ribbon." Janet could not be sure, but this was on either the Mon day or the Tuesday before her mistress died. At the insistence of the lawyer, who was sure Miss Quordling had not destroyed it. every corner of the house was ransacked, but nothing was found. Tug desk at which Miss Querdling hed done most of her busi ness yielded nothing, except an empty secret drawer, behind which there was an unsuspected panel. This slid back and revealed a faded photograph of fifty years before a man with sldo-whiskers, whom Mar jorie and Evelyn guessed to be their father a ralcntlno and some dust that once had been rose leaves. But there was no v. ill. Richmond received the girls' promise that the search would be re sumed next day. Ho and Jlmmle drove over to lioscoe's home. Ros coe was still on duty, but Mrs. Ros coe asked them In. The superintendent was glad to accept the beer served by Mrs. Ros coe. "It's tho most haOling, con tradictory, affair that ever came my way," he ezdalmed. Insist It Is the correct one. Garner went to the White House dinner honoring the speaker of the house not to get practlc. at because of his crony Nick Longworth. ' rniExni.Y foes Garner's friendship with Long worth dates from the time they first came to congress, more than 25 years 1 ago. Both were put on tnc loreign ' affairs committee. Garner was the . last democrat, Longworth the last republican. They sat beside each other at meetings of the committee, and a friendship sprang up between the two that has extended to the present time. "Darned peculiar that a silver spoon aristocrat like him and one of the common people like me should hit It off," says Garner, and then he adds with a grin 'but we've been trying to outsmart each other ever since." But going to the White House is no new experience for Garner. He says the most pleasant experiences of his whole career occurred during his visits to the executive mansion. "It was during the World war, when I had to go to the White House every night and discuss problems with President Wilson. ... We talked sometimes from 5 o'clock In the afternoon to 1 o'clock In the morning. ... I liked that fellow." Income Tax Facts tlon and extension ot boundaries of cities. HB 63 By Chlnnock, J. H. E.

"Pair market value." Is defined by Income-tax regulations as the amount "which would induce a willing seller to sell and a willing buyer to pur chase." The regulations further state: "What the fair market value of prop erty was on March 1. 1913, is a ques tion of fact to be established by com petent evidence. ... In the case of property traded In on public ex changes, actual sales at about the basic date afford evidence of value, but In each case the nature and ex tent of the sales and tho circum stances under which they were made must bo considered. Thus, prices re cleved at forced sale or prices rc cleved for' small lots of property may bo no real indication of the value of the property." The basis for determining gain or loss from the sale or other disposi tion of property acquired after Feb ruary 28, 1913, is, In general, the cost of the property.
