THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, Carelessness and stupidity on the part of the victims i8 respousible for much of the thieving and swindling which has reached such alarming proportions in this country, amounting to approximately two billions a year. Some of the specific weaknesses of our "easy marks" are pointed out by a leading criminologist, who enumerates cashing checks for strangers, leaving automobiles unprotected, carrying unnecessarily large sums of money, buying real estate without seeing it or investigating its title, investing in stocks and schemes without consulting a banker, t_rying t,g beat Eamblers at thei: WILNOUL ©ECHOUIIUEUE® URDIINER IWUCE CS ces Gep P own games, lending money and extending credit to persons of doubtful honesty, and so on.

BUILD LASTING ROADS In this remarkable era of good road building, much discussion of methods and materials to be employed in construction, has been heard. Various tyes of roads have their advocates and claims are made for the superiority of each. o nig Jw 5 e e ez en smal claims are Maue JVP DNB SMEROERIDEN DL CICT O As a matter of fact, so far as material is concerned, local conditions may be permitted to govern to a great extent, provided any one of the wellâ€"tested kinds that may be available is used.. It would seem to be inadvisable to ship road materials great distances when an equally good product might be secured close at hand. But regardless of the surfacing material to be used, the grading and foundations should be of a permanent nature. Every interest of economy demands that before any great sum is spent on the improvement of a road the final surveys and establishment of grades should be made, so that fills may be allowed to settle and become compact before surfacing is done. A firm foundation is highly desirable in any uadertaking, and nowhere is this more strikingly true than in road building.
