SMITH, Editor and Prop - The GOOD ROADS MOVEMEN *EOM Ole** This year the Department of Public ltelremys collected over $1,500,000 in automobile licenses from 135 000 car Owners in the province. All this money is available for road building purpoees. The Dominkin Government this year set aside 00,000,000 for expenditure on roads during the next live years. While this money has to be divided among the Pro vines In proportion to population its payment is to be conditional on a Pro- vincial expenditure of main roacie, The Dominion Government will pay 40% of the cost of constructing these high' ways within the limit of this grant, Ont. ario's share of 'this Federal aid will be about *1,000,000 per year if the annual expenditure on main roads is not less than $2,500,000. The revenue from autom- obile license fees alone, it will be seen, if spent on main highways, would earn the full amount of the Federal grant. From the exchange of automobile, Iic- euses with United States, motor tourist travelling in Ontario has increased very Materially and naturally the Province de- rives a great benefit front the money spent by the tourists and the more im- proved otir roads and the greater extent of the geed road movement, the greater will he the tourist trade and additional money spent in the Province. • * CHRISTMAS TIME Christmas time! That man must be a misanthrope indeed in whose breast some- thing like a jovial feeling is not roused, in whose mind some pleasant associations are' not awakened by the recurrence of Christmas. There are people who will tell you that Christmas is not to them 'what it used to be; that each succeeding Christmas has found some cherished hope or happy prospect of the year before dim- med or passed away; that the present only serves to remind them of reduced circumstances and straightened incomes— of the feasts they once bestowed on hollow fdendaand of the cold looks that meet them now • in adversity and misfortune. Never heed such dismal reminisences: There are few men who have lived long enoughin the world who",cannot call up such thoughts any day in the year.

It was a good crowd. The professor felt her coming to- ward him .and arose to eseepe.

To him .4 rOped-in place al- ways suggested prize fighting, The professor 41d not know very much about dancing, and within 4 few mo- ments the girl knew he didn't. She had no hesitancy la telling him so. "I guess you ain't had so Much practice in dandle. Let's flit out." .A.nd with it sure step she guided hint safely through the maze of dancers and deposited hint In his corner. "Yon look betterla you can dance," and with the parting thrust she was gone. The -professor regretted her hasty depar- ture, He wanted to learn the name of the soporific perfume she exuded and he did want to tell her that her pet- ticoat showed. The professor suddenly remembered. In all such reports mention must be made of the attitude of the girls and men toward each other, and he would investigate one particular individual as a specimen. There was a girl who did not seem so—er—brazen, would investigate her, and summoned courage to .approach. "No, I don't care tb daoce," • The -professor WAS very sorry. Would she tzare to sit out? Aad as he led iter to his corner, he secretly cm-. plimented himself on his rare Swig-. znent in so neatly managing his le, vestigation aed in selecting so inter- esting and attractive A "specimen." He would intestine her as e bug' ready for dissectioo, as In his , biological stuclies.. But it would have to be a very pretty bug, So he chose the ady bug, Perhaps because the girl' was pret- ty, or perhaps because investigations were tto interesting, but somehow as the hours sped by. the professor ne longer noticed the blatant raucous notes of the saxophonist nor how it.eadfully out of time the pianist was imannerlug. Again the hall was empty.if Isieechr*le aeep, tlstill t"' befarejil did, stood before hirn untouched, its foamy lath- er all venished. "No, you can't see me home; hut be here tomorrow .night" And when the professor crept into bed, restless tossing brought tardy sleep, fitfully interrupted by nervous. dreams. "I declare, Duncan," laughed Mrs. Parminter the next morning as he en- tered the breakfast ronat Afteea min- utes late, "but you look as if you had never been out before. And—Why, Duncan!" she exclaimed, as her eye, took in his person ; "you're *eating a Ordered tie !" • He murmured something about be- ing tired of blade and appeared reti- cent to his previous evening's expert- enee, vouchsafing the -information that he would again visit the dance hall that evening, "But Duncan," Mrs. Parminter te- Monstrated, "I've invited Celia Doane for dinner and ,you know I ,did want you to meet her. The investigation can wait. Won't you 'please be home?" He walked the block thrice to avoid again being the .first in the- hall and paid his entrance fee With an air al- zhost of prayed°, Seeking his corner, he watched the dancers to find the Darticular girt but she was nowhere visible. He circled the hall, colliding with every other couple—but ne girl. Why Should he be disappointed? SureIy she meant nothing to him—be was only watching her as a specimen to include In his report. So he „entered in his notebook, "Dance halls create disappointments early in lifer Nor did the investigation seem to require attendance the folloWing 'evening, hitt as soon as he entered the hall he Itzlew she was there, for he could sense It in his whole body. • By an anLtlytleal survey he consideredthe qutStion: Why vas he so glad to see berl Just to complete his, report, He made Ids way to her side and she answered the (manna in his eyes.
