"It Is because feather beds are

Atito Influence.
Robert P. Hooper, chairman of the
Good Roads Board of the American
Automobile Association, was one of
the speakers at the automobile con
vention at Springfield, Mass. Mr.
Hooper was appointed by the direct
ors as one of the A. A. A. delegates,
nnd he told what Is being done under
automobile influence throughout the
country for Improved highways. The
A. A. A. Good Roads' Committee in
the paBt have usually been so only In
name. This season, however, has
been characterized by genuine work,
and the national board has been en
abled to organize several hard-working
committees in a number of States.
Mr. Hooper told the directors of an
important move recently started in
the South, a plan which, if success
fully carried out. will be exactly In
line with the practical results that
the Springfield convention hopes to
accomplish that Is, uniformity In
tho building and maintenance of
Slate roads.
Mr. Hooper takes a very sanguine
outlook of the work that farmers are
going to do and the influence they
will exert for better roads In the fu
ture. Reports lately received by hlin
from Wisconsin. Missouri, Minnesota,
Indiana, Ohio, and other States show
hat a far. more favorable view for
good roads is being taken in the rural
districts than was the case a year or
two ago.
"I wish to emphasize ono thing
which Is becoming mero apparent
every day," said Mr. Hooper, "and
I that Is that farmers all over the coun
I try are at least realizing that there
I Is a good side to the automobllist,
i and with very little work on our part
I we can secure their co-oneratlon. "
In Missouri an active campaign has
recently been started to build a State
highway from 8t. Louis to Kansas
City. At the State Fair in Milwaukee
the State Geologist was requested to
I construct a piece of good roads on
j tho grounds as nn object lesson of tho
I benefits to be gained by Improved
I highways.
That the subject of improved high
ways in America Is still In its infancy
Is amply demonstrated by the first
exhaustive report recently Issued by
the United States Government Office
of Public Roads. Statistics have been
secured from every State and county
in the country showing the respective
road conditions for 1904. This shows
that there were In use at that time
2,151,570 miles of public roads, of
which only a fraction over seven pev
cent., 153,664 miles, could be termed
Improved roads. Indiana has the
largest mileage of improved roads,
23,877, Ohio coming next with 23,
460, Wisconsin third, 10,633, and
Kentucky fourth, 9486. Illinois,
Michigan and Massachusetts have
about 7000 milts each.
The fact that these Western States
excel in their extent of good roads
may be a surprise to many Easterners
who have regarded Massachusetts,
New Jersey and other States as be
ing the leaders in good roads work.
In proportion, however, to Its total
road area, Massachusetts It ads with
about forty-six per cent., Rhode Isl
and being second with forty-three
per cent. Of this total of improved
roads only a small proportion is mac
adam, 108,232 miles being surfaced
with gravel, 38,622 miles with stone,
and C810 miles of special materials
as shells, sand, clay, oil and brick.
Misdemeanor of Bad Roads.
It is heard that twenty-four town
ship commissioners, or supervisors,
have been Indicted In Venango Coun
ty for permitting the roads under
their charge to become bad. The ac
tion Is unusual; but Its theory is evi
dent. Road supervisors are consti
tuted to keep the roads in good re
pair. No man Is forced to accept a
public ofl!c3, but if he does take it he
is bound to discharge the duty. If
a road supervisor takes the office and
lets the roads become impassable ho
falls to do what he is under obllpa
1 do, and Is guilty of a ralsde
maanor. The doctrine is tart and far-reaching.
For there are other offices In
the State of Pennsylvania to which
this principle of law might well be
applied. Not to bother over local
and petty examples, consider the In
surance commissioners who through
two administrations have confined
their activities to periodical vUlts o
the office for the purpose of drawing
their exceedingly plump political In
come. If the Venango County prin
ciple spreads, and all officeholders
who loaf on their jobs are to be in
dicted, there will be a woeful stirring
of the dry bones among tho Pennsyl
vania politicians.
Tho innove'.ion can be welcomed.
The idea of indicting gentlemen who
regard political office aB the suste
nance of a leisure class Is alluring
and promises liveliness. But If put
Into universr'. practice It involves one
Inconvenience, It all officeholders
who neglect their duties, and espe
cially all supervisors ,who let the
roads become impassable, are to be
sent to prison there must be u general
provision for the enlargement of tho
Jails of Pennsylvania. Pittsburg

BARGAIN HUNTERS ARE
THE SENSIBLE WOMEN
The Woman Who Boca NOT Hunt Bar.
gains MISSES Opportunities,
By Arthur llrlslmne
Some foolish friend has asked us:
"Why do you not denounco the bargain-counter
mania? Is It because
you are delighted to have the adver
tising that the bargain counters
brlngT"
We are delighted to have the ad
vertising thBt the bargain counters
bring, or any othor honest advertis
ing. We believe that the newspapers
are Important to a community and
that, they do good. And we know
thnt a newspaper like this, which
costs a good many millions a year to
produce, and which is loM to the
buyer for a good deal loss than It
costs, could not. possible live except
for tho energy of merchants and
other advertising men.
At the same time, advertising does
not influence our opinions. Business
men know that, and others can find
out by experimenting.
We do not oblige our correspondent
by denouncing the bargain counter,
"for instance, because we believe and
we know that the wise woman ac
tually profits by bargain advertise
ments Invariably we assume that
she does not buy what she does not
want because It Is cheap.
Bargains are published sometimes
In order to bring women to (he store.
A merchant Is willing to sell them
one or two things at a very low
price, even for less than the actual
cost, trusting that while buying the
bargain they will be attracted by
something else on which he makes a
reasonable profit.
Ono department store always sells
and delivers sugar, one of life's sta
ples, for less than It actually costp
the merchant to buy It wholesale.
Another merchant sells another
staple, a necessity of everyday life,
for less than it actually costs him
always with the idea of bringing
women to the store.
Often merchants have extraordi
nary opportunities of purchasing be
low the usual market rate. They
give their customers the advantage of
these opportunities, nnd while they,
tho storekeepers, make a profit on
the transaction, the customer gets
valuable supplies for mcuh less than
the ordinary cost.
In other cases merchants compet
ing with one another cut prices re
gardless of actual cost, In the effort
to show more staying power or com
mercial courage than a rival.
The intelligent woman is able to
Identify the various bargains offered
for these reasons and others, In good
stores, and she combines with all the
Joys of the chase the excitement of a
stopping trip and the eiercise of
judgment, the pleasure of getting
something for a very reasonable price
or for less than it Is actually worth.
The woman who does not study the
bargains, compare prices and seize
opportunities, especially If she has
a family to provide for with a limited
Income, Is neglecting one of the duties
and one of the amusements of a wo
man's life in America in the twentieth
century. From an editorial in the

COAST DEFENSES LACK TEN THOUSAND MEN
etter Opportunities In Civil Life Have Drawn Thousands From Army
-Commissions Not Taken--Graduates of Technical Schools
Ignore Proffer of Seoond Lieutenancies-- Many Vacancies.
Washington, rj. C. The coast defenses of the United States are facing
the most serious condition of recent years. Reports received by the War
Department show that with an authorized force of 19,321 men the Coast
Artillery on October 15 was able to muster only 9628. Ten thousand re
cruits are needed to fill the ranks, and tbe question is whore to get them.
An official report prepared last year in connection with the Aritllery
Increase bill showed that the actual strength of the Coast Artillery waa
11,450 on October 16, 1906. Congress passed a bill authorizing the addi
tion of 5000 men. but not only have the officials of tho army failed to get
these extra men, but they have lost 2000 of those they had.
Every month reports are received of men quitting the Coast Artillery
to accept more lucrative places In civil life. Men of five, ten, fifteen years'
service privates, sergeants, first sergeants, non-commissioned staff officers
are leaving by the hundreds. Their electrical and mechanical training
In the Coast Artillery especially fit them for good Jobs in civil life.
Common civilian laborers at military posts ure making more money
thnn the highest grade technical non-commissioned officers under whom
they are employed. Teamsters, plumbers, firemen, engineers and elec
tricians get rations, quarters, fuel, medical nttention, etc., practically all of
the allowances of soldiers except uniforms, nnd In addition they get from
$45 to $ 1 2 ", a month for eight hourB' work a day.
SoldlerB performing the same duties at the same posts get from one
third to one-half of the corresponding pay, are subjoct to all the rigors of
military discipline, nnd are frequently on duty all day and all night.
More remarkable is the difficulty of getting officers. For the first time
In the history of the army vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant are
going begging. The urtlllery bill of last year authorized the appointment
In the Coast Artillery each year for five years of sixty second lieutenants.
The appointments wero to be made: First, from graduates of West
Point; secopd. from qualified enlisted men, and third, from civil life grad
uate of technical colleges and schools. Invitations were sent to tho presi
dents of 125 of the principal technical schools and colleges requesting them
to send in the names of graduates who desired to be appointed. In six
months no names have been submitted. Elghty-flvo vacancies in tho grade
of second lieutenant of Coast Artillery exist to-day.
SMALL GUNS WON JAPAN'S NAVAL VICTORY
French Admiral Says Huge Artillory Was Not Effective-- Dreadnoughts
a Mistake--Light Calibre Guns With Deadly Explosives Won
Togo's Suscass on Fleet Ships of th6 Line.
Paris, France. Admiral Germinet, the newly appointed commander
of the Mediterranean squadron, totally disagrees with the naval experts of
England, America nnd other countries who advocate the heaviest battleships
and the heaviest guns M most serviceable In future naval warfare. He ar
gues for not larger ships and bigger guns, but smaller, fleeter vessels capa
ble of great mobility and armed with guns of smaller calibre capable of
more rapid fire. This, he contends, Is tho real lesson of the Russo-Japanese
war. The English admiralty, he says, built the Dreadnought on a misap
prehension of the reasons of the Japanese successes.
"Before obtaining complete Information," cays the Admiral, "the Eng
lish attributed the Russian disaster to Togo's tactics and the big guns with
which his ships wero armed. It was not true. I have recently obtained the
proof from official documents. I do not question Togo's ability. I say only
that the big artillery did not produce the effect, expected. At the beginning
the Japauese used projectiles loaded with a comparatively small quantity
of explosive. They soon realized their mistake and commenced the manu
facture of shells capable of holding an enormous amount of explosive. All
their ships carried that ammunition at the battle of Tsushima. To that
tltcy owe their victory. The projectiles exploding on contact gave off a pro
digious amount of iieat, which melted the hardest steel and produced a vol
ume of gases which asphyxiated all who breathed it. The gases penetrated
the interior of the Russlun ships and suffocated men even In tho hold.
"In tho reports from which I obtained this information a case is cited
where the ammunition hoist suddenly ceased working. Upon examination
It was found Intact, but every mini at the bottom of the hoist was dead,
without a vislblo wound; in other words, asphyxiated. Upon the same ship
the electricity suddenly went out. The (Ires wero found uninjured, but the
dynamo crew was doad, nuftocated to a man. Projectiles exploding against
the ship's armor outside had Introduced gnses which put two big guns out
of action and plunged tho ship in darkness. It was not Unit the Japanese
shooting was marvelous. It was good. But the efficacy of the projectiles,
many of which, by tho way, exploded in their flight, was the real secret of
the Japanese victory."
Profiting by this experience, Admiral Germinet contends that the
French navy Bhould arm the ships with a good gun capable of firing shells
carrying the maximum quantity of explosive. The 305-niilllmetro gun o(
the Dreadnought class, he says, cannot do this, as the pressure of the dis
charging load would create too much danger of tiling the explosive.
Must Stop Wasting if Prosperity is to Continue.
Washington, D. C. After an extensive investigation of the country'?
natural resources, conducted in the West at tho instance of the Government,
Professor J. A. Holmes, Chief of the Technologic Bureau of the Geological
Survey, who has Just returned, has mado an official statement warning the
American people that the present prodigious waste of these resources must
stop at once If the country is to continue to proster.
Professor Holmas made tho Investigation to determine how serious the
situation Is. He declares that In the mining operations of the present time
nearly one-half of the total coal supply Is being left under ground; that
water as a Bourca of power is being wasted day after day and year after
year to the extent o millions of horse power, and that forest fires have
burned ni'oro lumber than has been used In the building of homes or In the
industries. Professor Holmes says that the waBto of coal Is appalling.
Every possible means should be adopted, he declares, for reducing this
waste to an absolute minimum, In order that the country's fuel resources
may suffice for tho future, as for tho piasent needs of the nation.
"At the present rate of Increase Hi consumption," says Mr. Holmes,
"the better part of the fuel supply of the country will be gone by tho end
of the present century, unless the proper steps are taken."
Would Hang Promoters of White-Slave Traffic.
Washington, D. 0. That tho laws should be altered ao aa to make the
Importation of women for immoral purposes a capital offense was emphati
cally declared by Secretary StrauB. A national crusade against the white
slave traffic has been inaugurated by the Federal Government.
"Many innocent women and girls are brought to the United States un
der promise of bettering their conditions," said Mr. Straus, but they are
deceived and are mndo to lead lives of Bhame. This is ono of the worst
crimes known to man. and any one guilty of it should be hanged.
"In the past It his been im possible to break up the practice of bring
ing women here for Unmoral purposes, owing to tho claim that tboy had
been here so long that they could not be dopcrted and they were allowed to
remain. Under the new rule of assuming they have not been here three
years and requiring them to produce proof, the department will be able to
send many of them back to their homes."

Nurses Dread Lightning,
Of all people who are'glad when
the season or thunderstorms is past,
none are more thankful than profes
sional nurses.
"It Isn't that we are so afraid ot
lightning ourselves." said a nurse In
Roosevelt Hospital, "but it has a
harmful effect on our patients Most
sick people have an unreasonable fear
of lightning. In cases of extreme
weakness or nervousness a dozen
flashes of blinding lightning reduces
the patient to such a state of pros
tration that lt takes evtrnnrrli tl h rv
efforts on the part of the nurse to j
bring him around. If one sick per- j

Colors Seen In Dreams.
Red and yellow are the dream col
ors. If Dr. Havelock Ellis Is right.
No other hues come to the dreamer
of dreams. Slmroth has declared
that red Is the most primitive of col
ors, and long ago protoplasm from
which human beings derived their
origin on the new earth probably
responded, to or was affected by red
color waves.
Red strikes the note of Intense
emotions. It la the color of joy. ex
ultation, jubilation. Savages paint
themselves red and rejoice at n-i iug
each other In burning hues. Ger
man women of the early ages daub
ed their bodies with brilliant red
and yellow, and considered them
selves most beauteotisly adorned.
