"I was look ing over -a post office guide or direc tory today," he said, "and while oth - er cities of the land. have small towns scattered about the country named for them, New York is without a single namesake- If I had the New York conceit I might say there could be but one New York, but I haven't, and I wonder if the absence of namesakes Is due, to the fact that New Yorkers are so enamored' of their city that none has ever gone forth to colonize, or that those who have gone are- of so small consequence that they have been * nable to de as much as to give the mie of their native town to any that they have assisted In founding. Whatever It Is, the result remains, -and there is but one New York men tioned in the post office directory." Clever Deception. Men who craned their necks and bus tied against each other to get a look at the girl on exhibition in one of the store windows were given the laugh by women in the crowd. The flutter ing of the girr's parasol, and the blow ing of her dress convinced the men that they were looking at a "living model," and it was not until- they had gazed at it for some time that they discovered they had been faled. By arrangements of fans the breeze gen tiy blew the gown worn by the wax figure, and also her parasoi. Her hair was blown about her face in a most bltcfW fashion and more than one man exclaimed, "Isn't she a peach!" and discovered his error when the women in the crowd snickered. Worcester Post. Jam, From "Jamaica." Jam seems to take Its name from Jamaica, and Is comparatively a mod ern luxury. Galt, in his -"Annals of the Parish," states that the fashion of jam making was Introduced into Scotland about 1760, when berry bushes were planted by "some of our young men that had been sailors com ing from Jamaica," and the condiment 'was valuea In the first place chiefly as "an excellent medicine for a sore throat." A writer In Hone's "Every day Book," in 1826, deplored the fact that jam could not be "purchased at the shops as other articles of con sumption s're." Worth Knowing. The laurel was much in favor in olden days, as it meant "love tri umphs." The Greek bride wore a wreath of myrtle. A bride of today may choose her own. flower If she wishes, stamping It with her individu ality. Some girls take the flower al lotted to the month, especially If the time happens to be June, with Its wealth of roses. Widows usually wear violets, either white or purple, or a combination of both. 0 PLEA FOR WIDER ROADWAYS 7our-=n-Foot Road Will Outlast Three o-Foot Roads and is Much E:Atter in Every Way. I ave not our counties and townships ewast.,ni- a good bit of our money C;); -foot roalbeds on 24 by rcet wide road grades? A 24-foot .,e grade is plenty wide encugh for : 4oot roadbed. Then why spoil _-e.Cd ,grade by putting on a 9-foot 1:e - t costs less than one-third =rc to make a good job of it? Four n'h ioCt ir scficient width for two' eks; tha -.-vould meai just one of the wear on the road. Then socan drive so as to have a wNheel on: ach side of the canter and that makes' one more track and will be equal to a 9-foot road. So you see we have three times the wearing surface on a 14-foot roadbed that we do on a 9-foot. Then we have a chance to pass other rigs without one or both going into the ditch. Now this is claiming quitel a lot for one-third more expense, but 1 think a 14-foot road will outlast three 9-foot roads, has a handier surface and is better in every way, writes John D. De Cou in Michigan Farmer. If you come up behind a rig you have a chance to get by. If you are driving an auto you do not have to go outside i of the hard roadbed and take chances on skidding into the ditch. A 9-foot roadbed has but one track. Where the wheels run it gets packed perfectly solid and a heavy load will crush all small stones into dust, and the first auto that comes along sucks it up on the front side of the wheels and then blows it clear off the track when they let go. This doesn't seem, much, but when from one to fifty or more go over the same track it soon counts. Met:while, the horses travel Ing in the cc:ter with iron-sbo hocf have kept that dug loosa and it grado 'ally works out, leaving the road low in the center where it should be high. Then when heavy rains come the ridges where the wheel tracks come hold it i and it washes down the cen ter to the lowest level, where it runs off at the sides, cutting ditches and causing a bad chuck hole. This road is hard to keep in repair. If you use a road grader or drag tc scrape the sides to the center the wheel tracks are so eolid that they will hold up the blades and you will do but little if any good.
