Au ' tomobtle owners have followed the opposite method. They have got their cars first and then looked around for roads to run them over. - , That is whfitf ' makes the great American highway problem. Figures presented by Philip S. Rose in The Country Gentleman makes the com parison of highway and railroad Illu minating. . It is a perfectly fair comparison, for as transportation .agencies the two are nearer .together than most persons suppose.' The highways take care ' of more people than the rail roads do. Automobiles are estimated to have carried last year nearly 7.000, 000,000 passengers while the railroads carried 1,034,000,000. The automobile hauls were shorter; yet reckoned on a passenger-mile basis, the automobile record for the year is 70,000,000,000 to the railroads' 37,000;000,000. i In the matter of freight, even, the railroads have nofcuuch overwhelming . superiority as might be expected. In actual tonnage they carried only , little more than trucks, though their , average hauls were far longer and their ton-mileage about 50 times that 'of trucks."; - - ; . . f The -important fact is that motor ; traffic is rapidly assuming as much , importance as steam traffic, and the building of roads tracks for the 1 motor can started late and is not keeping pace with the Increase of rolling stock. Five years ago there were one and one-half motor vehicles to a mile of road. Last January there were four. i Motors are destined evidently to surpass locomotives in importance, but they can never achieve their des tiny until adequate trackage Is pro vided for thera. And the best road paving can be built for less per mile than it costs to build a railroad track, wtU-making, adoption, aruardlaaahip of children, property protection, legal status of husband and wife, and mar riage provisions might prevent many of tho mistake made by the mass of cltliens in ordering their affairs. It ma be tha,t a slight knowledge of law would be as bcneficlul ns a little grasp of banking, arithmetl geography, civics and tho like, but It is an open question. In nothing more than legal matters is a little knowl edge "& dangerous thing," and as rule It la Infinitely better for the av erage cltitcn to seek competent ad vice in questions of. legality than to try to be his own lawyer. DOIAAIt WHKAT Wheat lately has been selling around a dollar again. And "dollar wheat, once a famous slogan, no longer stands for agricultural pros perity. Moreover, it is not at all what the wheat raisers hoped for and expected when they induced congress to place a high emergency duty on wheat Im ports. The duty seems to. have had very little effect on the price of wheat. Many observers assert that it has had no effect at alt In any case, the doc trine long urged vainly by disinter ested economists is now being driven home to the farmers themselves i that the price of wheat Is determined ! not by legislation In any country, but j y world market conditions. This Situation, the economists say, is bound to continue as long as America ex ports more wheat than it imports, be cause the price of all wheat in this country, for domestic use as well as foreign use, depends on the price that can be obtained for the export surplus. The Sunset Magazine has an article on 'Transforming Useless Wood Into Pencils." This interests us strangely. We always did wonder what made so many of 'em splinter all the way down and prove useless when we were in a hurry. Twenty Montreal girls have formed a league to resist the edict of fashion that they don longer skirts. It is re freshing to learn that these dashing damsels are determined to uphold their rights. Should the railway labor board ever emerge from the mystifying mazes of the problem, "what is a liv ing wage?" they might tackle the equally intricate poser of "how old is Ann? ; The . fact that Tie has gained 51 votes in the..recountwould indicate that Coffey -has "grounds" for. his contest of districts counts in the re cent primary election. - The jazz dance is doomed, according to the decree of ballroom arbiters. We shall be reconciled in case this means that the melancholy drone of the saxophone Is stilled. Too bad it had to come out that there are official chaperons on ship ping board liners. Now all American girls will want to cross on foreign ships. THE VANDAIj CAMPER The knowledge has been driven home to a good many thinking citizens 1 that It Is possible to -exterminate wild fame or flowers of trees. It took a ! long time and much bitter experience to teach - America that lesson, and there is another not wholly learned ; even yet. I Our forefathers on this continent would have said anyone was crazy ' who foretold the extermination of pas , aenger pigeons, the killing of .more : than a million buffalo a year, the de- t structlon of 60 per cent of the orig inal supply of merchantable timber, dangerous reduction of the numbers . of elk, antelope, sage hens, and so on. ' We know today that this is all only too possible, and we pass game laws and other restrictive legislation in a hasty, last-minute effort to preserve whatever remnants we can for pos terity. - The unlearned lesson is that the marvelous natural scenery and beau ' tlful wild spots of the nation can be spoiled just as easily and lastingly, by - a continuation of the present careless treatment. Already echoes from for- - eat and mountain are bringing to the city the news that many ideal camp sites and regions of scenic beauty and wonder are practically ruined by the thoughtless action of sojourners In the out-of-doors. Smoldering camp , Hres which frequently become dis astrous conflagrations, unsightly rub bish thrown about, trees unneces sarily felled or hacked into deformity lie in the trail of the vacation camper. !

Parents as Educators "The Child's First School Is the Family." Froebel. Nature Study for Mttlo Cluldrclt By Augusta M. Swan When Froebel wns looking for a name suitable for his system of edu cation, he did not call it "child school," or "child house," but "child garden" and he intended that the "gardener" of the klndergurtcn shoulu be the teacher herself. Nearly hulf of Frocbel'a Mother Plays deal with things of nature. At ono time ho said, "A little child that freely seeks flowers and cherlHhes am! cares for them in order to wind them Into a bouquet for parents or toncher cannot he a bad child or become a bad man. Such a child nan ennily be led to the love and to a knowledge of his Father God who elves him such girts." LOVe Of nature In n horilnfrn nf cniiunoou. it Is a tendency In every child of every land, be ho black, white or yellow. All nature Is nkln to childhood; birds, anlmnls. flowers.

There snemH to lie n silent hut mut- unl understanding among young nnl mnls of nil kinds whether they have mur ii-kh or iwo. As primitive man onened tho enrlv scenes of his life among the wonders of nature, so the child needs the ex perience ot the rnee In nature wnrwlnr and nlny. All nature phenomena nre mntters of personal Interest to tho young child; end towards the mnnn. mars, sun and rain he feels Iho In- nereni interest Of the rnco. it is well to be nhle to lell the ehlld. ren the names of the nlnnts nnd flow. ers they brlnr. and tn iwnb.n in ihnm n longing to know moro of the won derful life of tho bird, bee and othor insecis. , Children' love iho stories of nnlmal and plant life; they love nature lie- cuuso iney are a part of It.

Wo need not he surprised If miexllons of rca scion tlflr value nre asked by the children "Why do peoplo call Iheso whllo llowers dogwood " was the thmiuht fill Inuulry of ono of my klndorgnrten cfiiiuren. "Mow do birds fight snakes?" "Whnt Is I he grease Inside tho liut Icrcuii used for V" "Is It truo thnt only femnlo polur benrs hibernate?" "Why does tho mullein havo such a fuszy cost?"
