A famous artist, who had art classes, had forbidden smoking in his studio. One day, after being out for half an hour, he re-entered the studio sudden ly and saw one student with a lighted cigarette in his fingers, which he tried to conceal With an air of assumed playfulness the artist approached the offender and said: “ A strange crayon you have there, my friend. May I ask what you propose to draw with that?” ‘‘Clouds!” replied the student. SALEM DAILY PAPER HAS INACCURATE ROAD NEWS A Salem paper publishes the report that the Salem-Aurora highway is being paved at the rate o f 1600 yards per day— about 1000 yards too high an estimate. The Salem paper also says Huber will finish his contract here by September first. Mr. Huber will doubtless be surprised and de lighted' to learn this. Another paragraph says that- the Blake-Compton Company is pushing work on its mile contract from Salem north to join the Huber 5 mile con tract- from Aurora south. I f all the other statements o f the Salem Journal article are as inaccu rate as the above samples, its readers are being dished up considerable mis leading road information. The H ubei contract may- be finish ed this fall if weather conditions are good.

Troops is used in the plural to mean the samè as soldiers, and not including in its meaning the number or whether [infantry, cavalry or artillery. The word as generally used in the papers has this meaning. Therefore 2,000’ troops means 2,000 soldiers.
