Uniform road construction la expect ed throughout Indiana as a result at an order issued by the state highway commission, requiring the standardiss tloo of road plans and sfpeciflcaUous for county highways which are sub ject to the approval of the commission.

The regulation la similar to the fed eral order requiring the use of stand ardised plana and specifications by the Improved Read in Indiana, state for all roads for which govern ment aid 'is expected. The action of the commission extends the use of the approved standards to the roads which will be built in Indiana under the pro visions of the county unit road law, by which the state shares the cost. officials of the commission have compiled the standards for the Indiana roads, which are Identical with the requirements made of the state by the federal government. The standards will apply to all county-aid projects proposed under the state highway law, the county unit road law. and the free gravel road law. Many counties of die state already have adopted the coin mission stand ards voluntarily to keep their road construction up to the stieciticutionii prescribed by the federal and state en gineers. Members of the commission, in dis cussing the regulation, declared that it will have the effect of standardiz ing road construction throughout Indi ana. ROMANS AND GOOD HIGHWAYS Reads Bulit Two Thousand Yeara Ago Are Still in Active ServMpfM How Constructed. Two thousand years ago the Romans btlllt roads, some of which are still In active service. These roads have lasted through the centuries simply because of their massive construction. The Romans built four successive courses or layers on the eaTh sub grade. carefully prepared and drained. First came the statumen or founda tion. then the rod us. next the nucleus, and finally the pavimentum or wearing surface, says a writer. The statumen consisted of large flat stones, while the two intonening courses were built of smaller stones laid In lime mortar. To carry the chariot and pack horse traffic of Roman times, these roads were seemingly ridiculously heavy, yet the wisdom of the builders was amply demonstrated by the 800 years dur ing which the Roman road system formal the backbone of the transporta tion system of what was the greatest empire of all time. We can learn a mighty profitable lesson from the Romans, and if we tcke the lesson to heart now. standing as we do on the threshold of a new highway era, we shall save ourselves much pecuniary sorrow. HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT SURE Both Republican and Democratic f*mw ties Pledged to Assist in Good Roads Development. Segardless of which party wins out In the presidential election this fall. American motorists can rest assured that highway development will be con tinued. In their platforms, both the Republican and Democratic parties have placed themselves flatly on rec ord as favoring liberal federal appro priations to assist In good road work. The definite action of both parties proves conclusively that motor trans portation has been recognized as a definite factor In the nation's economic fabric and. that everything will be done to utilize Its value to tbe ut most.

RRT9TMAS, both in it* ritual and in its sentiment, la almost aa old as Humanity itself. As far back as you can go we And something very like the Yuletide festival-—« season ef rejoicing, attended by a aomewhat boisterously joyful eelebration. About Christmas there is nothing that even approxi mates sectarianism or any kind of mental or social nar rownesa or littleness. Its spirit is aa broad aa humanity, and all iren of whatever race, creed or geographical status, are invited to, and are entitled to, take part in its glad festivities. Very pitiful the human being who, in the midst of the Christmas seaaon, feels like flocking off by himself, like Dundreary's bird. It is a season, not for isolation and loneliness, but for fellowship and universal brotherhood, as though we were saying to one another, "ALL HANDS AROUND!" with nobody left out. When we pause to think of the way in which the Christmas originated it becomes easy for us to understand why the season is everywhere made t* be the occasion of deep rejoicing and multiform gladness. Beyond s doubt the festival had its birth away up in th# froeen North, in the region of the aurora borealis, where the battle between the cold and the heat, the darkness and the light, is the longest and the most ter rible and it was quite natural that at the turn of the sun, when the light and warmth began to return, men should turn themselves loose in a sort of paroxysm of joy. And by degrees the festivities of the men of the far north worked their way southward for even there the return of the sun meant life to men, meant the sunshine and heat without which the human race must perish. The hyperboreans had their Christ, Baldur by name, Baldur the good, the gentle, the compassionate, who. taking pity on them, destroyed the Frost Giant and saved them from death. We cannot very well blame the hyperboreans if. at first, their religion was largely of a material type—the worship of the sun, for Baldur was no more than the sun idealized. Christ—not the petty Christ of the professional theologian, but the Christ of Humanity—stands for OPTIMISM. All is well. Let not your hearta be troubled. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. In reality there is no evil, the thing we call "evil" being byt good in the making. "I am come that ye might have lifet not death confidence, not despair glad ness, not weeping and wailing." Away with all grouchiness and greed, all doubt and despair! This is tbe seaaon of love and good will, of hope and gladness. Joy is always and everywhere "orthodox" and in order. If you are able to do so at no other time of the year, during the Christmas time resolve to have the full courage of your noble self, and to let your worthiest and bravest sentiment assert itself to the full. Let joy be unconfined! Again be is said, "ALL IS WELL." The Sun is not going to be conquered by the Frost King the anarchists are not going to overthrow the Constitution of the United States and the govern ment that waa inaugurated by our venerated Washington in spite of the little politicians who are ready to "give up to party what was meant for mankind." the ways and means of bettering the condition of mankind will surely be found the life of men and nations shall not have been in vain and as for Old Death, who awaits us at the end of the little earthly way, for all that we to the contrary he may turn out to be our best friend. Those who have crossed the north Atlantic in winter need not be reminded of the uplifting and joy-giving influence of the gulf stream. Those who have felt it can never forget it. Once fairly upon the mysterious "river of the sea." the chill and numbness of one's body and soul depart, the rigd muscles relax, the pert up feelings let themselves loose in singing, and chat, and all-round sociability and enjoyment, and all the world seems to be refashioned for tl e better. And such is Christmas, with its good will and good cheer, its brave confidence and spontaneous gladness. It is the guif stream of life, warm ing us into the sentiment of a common humanity, with its unselfishness and comradeship, and imparting to ua all the glad,sense of security ana victory. Every Day Were Christmas TEXT—(tomans 14: 6—"One man esteeineih one day above another another mm e.«teemfth every day alike. Let every man be fully assured tn his own mind." HAT if every day were Christmas? The suggestion at first blush is perhaps not i4t irt'iher agreeable. One can imagine numerous protests against the idea be came of the excesses to which many go on Christmas holidays. Let it be grant ed freely that Christmas is misused, that it is often a season of excesses and extremes even so, who of us would do Sway with Christmas? For despite ail the excesses of the holiday season and the hardship it works on many, is there not a rainbow of glory over every fffurring Christmas celebration? Christmas is a season of prophetic idealism and a rebuke to selfish living. At the approach of the anni versary of our Lord's birth, men and women whose thoughts have been mostly of self are moved to think of others. The idea of serving others and making others happy affects even the blase and the indifferent. Some how, the idea that it is more blessed to give than to bar gain finds lodgment in minds unused to tender and benev olent thoughts. For a brief period, cruel competitions that so sorely grind human society are lessened if not forgotten. For the time being, all humanity seems to be one family. There is a delight in seeing everybody joyous. The foreigner is made to feel at home. Artificial barriers are broken, and there come even into hard faces some softened lines. The spirit of Christmas penetrates even behind stone walls, snd the prisoner is made to know that he is still remembered and that society has not abandoned hope in him. Christmas is the one season of the year when we •re especially reminded to take Jesus seriously. The Sermon on the Mount seems practicable then—the Beatitudes possible in daily life. Even the great words, "Peace on earth, good will toward men." actually appear workable at Christmastide. The old text so precious, so peculiarly appropriate. John 8: 16 finds lodgment in our heart of hearts: "For God so loved the wor'd that He gave His only begotten Son. that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." There comes into our minds the conviction that we have not taken seriously the lessons that our Lord taught, but that now we take Him at His word we share, we give, we sacrifice, we find a new joy growing out of these very practical and beautiful ministrations.

At one of the b*|{ London hotels there is a page hoy who in his spare moments is much given to the study of the best English literature. A few days ngo foe was paid his wages with a small tine deducted for some breach of regu-ntions. Indignant, the hoy said to the manager: "Sir. If you should ever find it with in the scope of yemr Jurisdiction to levy an assessment on n:y wage for some trivial act alleged to have been committed by myself at some inoppor tune moment in the stress of one's avocation I would suggest ihut you re frain from exercising that preroga tive.
