Paved Highways Almost every section of the United States is con fronted by a traffic prob lem. Month by month this problemi3 becoming more and more serious. Hundreds of cars pass a given point every hour ou many of our state and county roads. Down town city streets are jammed with traffic. Think, tco, how narrow many of cur roads are, and how com paratively few paved highways there are in proportion to the steadily incrsasing number of cars. If the motor vehicle is to con tinue giving the economic service o' which it is capable, we must have more Conctete highways and widen those r.ear large can ters o f population. Every citizen should discuss highway needs of hiscommunity with his local authorities. Your highway officials will do their part if given your support. Why postpone meeting this pressing need?

One of the chief products of Chios is gum mastic, which is grown en the southern part of the island.

Many pleasant drives may be taken from Kastro. along the coast and into the Interior of the island, 'ihere are numerous olive groves. although n?t nearly so many as on t In* sister islapd of Mytilene.

Story of Samos. The island of Santos formed one of the oldest settlements of the Ionians in the Mediterranean, and from this point most of the colonies on the coast of Asia Minor an 1 other parts I of the Aegean sea were established. I luring the second hal'r of the Sixth century IV the wisdom and skill of the tyrant 1'oly -rates won for Santos the llrst place in the Ionian 1'nion. With the death of this great man the prestige of Samos. began to wane, and it gradually sank into in significance. The island was also the birthplace of the groat philosopher. Pythagoras. Samos Vst inc. under the yoke, in turn, oi the Athenian Greeks, Kontans, llyza n tines, Arabians, Venetians. Genoese. and finally the Turks. In the Greek war of independence Samos fought for Greece and successfully i resisted every effort on the part of the Turks' to maintain themselves on the island. The little town of Tigani is situ ated by the harbor of ancient Santos, and the immense moles once erected by I'olycrates have, for the most part, been reconstructed. The walls, scat tered fragments of a theater, and the celebrated underground aqueduct are the only remains of the ancient town, and they date from the time of the famous tyrant. The walls which .pass over* the lofty ridge behind the harbor in the distance resemble the Great Wall of China. They are well preserved, and there are no less than ;i0 towers still standing. Herodotus dwells at length upon the harbor, the conduit under the mountain, and the Temple of Hera. The aqueduct is a marvel of engi neering skill, considering the tlntf and age in which it was constructed. The end of 'the tunnel is situated about half way up the hill above the town, and with u guide ami candles one may penetrate some distance into the channel. The Temple of llera was the finest monument ever erected on the island of Santos, and Herodotus says tlu?t It was the largest known to him in all his travels. All that remains of this great temple today is one solitary col umn. SICK WOMEN SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED Letters Like This Prove the Reli ability of Lydia E.
