OUR ROAD INVESTMENT
Commenting on the necessity for
building permanent highways, the
Portland, Oregon Telegram says:
An automobile has a life of not
much more than four years. At
loast it goes into the used class at
that age and is from thenceforward
at greater expense for repairs. If
our absorption point in automobiles
is, say, 24,000,000, we shall be mak
ing annually about 4,000,000 auto
mobiles, which is about the present
output. We shall then have an av
erage of one automobile to every
family, and every head of a house
will be buying a new automobile
every six years, besides paying for
gas, oil and repair bills and his li
cense tax. The average car can
hardly be maintained at less than
$300 a year.
It seems impossible to build an
automobile that will profitably live
to be venerable. If while we must
so quickly scrap our costly cars,
we also build impermanent highway
paving, we shall very shortly come
to the end of our means for mak
ing more roads. For this reason
we should demand that, whatever
paving is laid, it shall be laid to
last.
A REMARKABLE SITUATION
The following remarkable comment
was recently printed in financial
publication, in a review of the con
dition of European countries, and the
State Market Agent thinks the con
dition applies to this country, as
well as Germany:
"In Germany, strangely enough,
depression appears to be primarily
due to the fact that the country had
puch good crops last year that the
prices of farm products were reduc
ed and the farmers' purchasing pow
er thereby curtailed. This reduction
in 1 farm purchasing power has been
at Amherst, who is fond of the
gloves, lost a three-round amateur
bout the other evening. A New
York promotor has offered John's
opponent, Matty Silverman, $5000 to
box in that city, on the strength of
knocking out the President's son.

. From time to time this newspaper
has taken pleasure in noting the lit
erary advancement of George B.
Marquis, a former teacher in the
Athena schools, but now in the exe
cutive department of Whitman col
lege. George has landed space in a
Magazine for another good story of
adventure.

hankering to shoulder the democrat

Weird Coffee Recipe
FichoIi coffee, Turkish coffee, Rus
sian coffee, nil have liad their vogue
among lliose who are constantly Keek
ing tin; bizarre; but In "All About
Coffee" we Unci a recipe which should
be weird enough to satisfy anyone's
taste. It Is "Judge" Walter Rumsey's
"new and superior way of making cof
fee" as given In 10.")7.

cause of these conditions Germany
is not expected to offer as large a
market for exports in 1926.
If this bo true, if big farming
yields have resulted in depression
and bankruptcy, the remedy to bring
back prosperous conditions would
seem to be crop failures.

Bankers' organizations have been

TIPS FOR THE TEA TABLE
We are becoming more and more In
fuvor of the afternoon tea habit.which
Is such a custom
In England. There
Is something very
cheery about a
cup of tea served
in a pleasant
room with a snap
py, sociable fire
burning In the
It Is not necessary to be en
wlth much of this world's
goods to feel thut a cup of tea to a
friend Is not an extravagance. The
housewife with no maid will not find
such entertainment burdensome, with a
tea wagon one trip from the kitchen
will be sufficient. If one can brew the
tea on the tea table, It furnishes enter
tainment, for we all enjoy things In
the process of making.
In most homes there Is a cooky Jar
and one of doughnuts; a few of the
doughnuts sugared Just before serv
ing, will be all that Is required with
the cup of tea. Sandwiches are al
ways nice and if one has time, tii
open sandwiches prepared and ready
to serve are most attractive.
It Is wisdom to eat very lightly of
nny afternoon repast, so It will not
spoil the appetite for dinner; so very
small servings of. any dainty food are
the rule In most homes.
If Inclined to advolrdupols, omit the
cream and take the lemon, pineapple
or a bit of sliced orange In the tea.
As sugar Is always used by some, try
rubbing the cubes on the well-washed
skin of an orange or lemon and grat
ing out the essential oil of the fruit
Into the sugar. It will add a most at
tractive flavor to a cup of tea.
Lemon Butter. Into the upper part
of a double boiler put two cupfuls of
sugar and one cupful of butter with
the grated rind of three lemons.
Cream together, setting over the hot
water. Add the juice of the three
lemons and stir until well mixed.
Beat with an egg beater until smooth.
This makes a delicious spread for
slices of sponge cake, buttered bread
for sandwiches, and Is a well-liked
pudding sauce. It will keep In the Ice
chest and be ready for any occasion.
Lighting Scheme
Speaking of modern conveniences
and Innovations, somebody who helped
design the new Infants' ward nt the
Children's hospital, St. Antolne and
Farnsworth streets, used his or her
Imagination. About knee-high above
the lloor are recesses or slits In the
walls fitted with lights. When a nurse
enters during the night to tuck the
babies In, she doesn't have to turn ou
the overhead lights and run the
chance of wuking the tiny patients
up. The low wall-lights furnish her
enough illumination to do her work
without disturbing the babies. Out-of-towu
visitors have commented more
on this little arrangement than on
more important features of this great
Institution. Detroit Free Press.
