OUR OWN ROADS
the risk of incurring the everlasting enmity of
civically inclined and progressive citizens in
Southern Oklahoma the Ardmoreite wishes here and
now once and for all. register against this eternal
agitation for the expenditure of thousands of dollars
on transcontinental highway.' while country roads-
roads that mean hread and meat to the rural popu-
lation go neglected and forgotten.
National highways are fine things. They permit
the tourist to travel as the wind listeth. They make
motoring a delight hut how very little vaiue arc
they compared to roads that lend' from the farms
to the neighboring towns and centers and hack-
again. Thanks to the wisdom of some of Carter county's
commissioners both present and past mos of our
country roads arc in fair condition. They will grow
better so long as we don't get a notion in our
heads to spend all our money on some one or two
great connecting systems.
The Ardmoreite is in favor of automobile taxes
building our transcontinental highway systems.
JAMES A. ("ARDMORE") REED
PORMER President Woodrow Wilson must be rap-
idly returning to his old time vigor and strength.
The latest to feel the effects of his wrath is James
A. Reed.
It has been digesting to observe the manner in
which James A. Reed and others who fought Wilson
bitterly have come to trade on crumbs from the
YYib-on table. The slightest little word of praise ever
uttered by Woodrow Wilson is now dragged up and
dished out to the public as a vote getting argument.
We do not care whether or not Woodrow Wilson
ever praised Reed during the war for anything. If
he had an ounce of manhood he would have scorned
to use a single word ever uttered by the man he
slandered and maiigntd.
Now that he ha; been repudiated he plants the in-
sinuation that WV-ndrow Wilson is "cracked."
All that we have to say is that James A. Reed
whether driven t'r.uni public life or not by the people
of Missouri should he relegated to complete and
everlasting oblivion. It is claimed that ' the large
(iu-m;;n population of -li..-iuiri will keep him in
ofiice. That is the only thing that can do it.

VANISHING ROMANCE
QRAY-HAlRr.D men. during springtime arc haunt-
ed by the f iscinatit:'" inemorie.-. of their departed
youth.
They rec:d! how. about this lime of year long
ago they dreamed of running away to sea.
Of all : rms of romantic adventure the sailor's
life has been the top-nmcher since Marco Polo some
six centime.-' ago brought the magnetic needle com-
::ss from Asia thereby putting ocean exploration
'.irmly on its feet. It was a great step forward
from charting a ship's course by the stars.
In a lew generations the world has seen romance
steadily driven from ihe sailor's life.
The bt:u;tifiil iuil-riggcd schooner rotted at an-
chor crowded out by the steamship. The slave
trader pa-sed. Pirates were driven from the high
seas.
Seamen's unions regulate ocean life where once
the cutlass belayin'-pin and "walking the plank"
roigned supreme.

Only persons whose nervous sys-

to exposure of the naked body to

The "I'll- bath" trains your skin. It
makes it more resistant to rapid

just as necessary as the water bath.
One can put the skin through a course of training
by bathing in water also.
Standing in about one font of water the body may
be rubbed briskly with a wash cloth wrung out of water
at ::lhoiit SO degrees Fahrenheit and reduced until it Is
about 50 Fahrenheit.
Do not attempt to train your skin to a resistant
condition too rapidly. Following the rubbing with the wash
cloth the cold water shower or douche from a pitcher
may he taken.

skin arc often more than skin deep.
Occasionally after vigorous cleansing the skin mny be

Oils do not really feed the skin since they are rap-

Pimples showing pus or points of" "matter" should

bathed with saturated boric acid solution and very hot
moist cloths applied.
BertonBraleys Daily Poem1
GREETINGS!
When youth comes adventuring upon the road to town
The fit' iomy a menace the city seems to frown
And. tiinii;;!: youth be strong hearted and not much
afraid
He's just a little trembly and just a bit dismayed.
W'l.rn youth comes adventuring upon the city streets
The clamor of the city upon his spirit beats
Th" city seem- t" thunder with a bnizen-throated roar
L'Ke l'".ple-headed Cerberus who guarded Hades door.
Hut when youth adventuring will not be denied
Hut stands amid the eliunor unvcXed unterrified.
The rumble of the city's voice seems dwindled to a hum
And the city purrs a promise of the victory to come.
And when youth leaves the city und takes the rover's
track
How friendly sounds the city's voice that ever calls him
back
The clangor and the tumult of crowded haunts of men
Will shout a roar of welcome when youth comes back
again.

Happenings la Carter Count and
Ardmore M told by tba filea
of the Ardmoreite
One of the final nails has just heen driven in the
coffin of ocean romance in the Westinghouse elec-
trical plant Philadelphia.
The occasion was the first successful demonstra-
tion of a gian; gyroscope which will prevent big
ocean liners from roiling except during heavy
storms. Similar "gyro-stabilizers" ar already in use
ou some smaller ships especially yachts.
The typical 1922 comment about this will he:
''Thank goodness seasickness finally is preventable.''
There'll be very little thanks among men who as
boys wanted to be "Treasure Island' pirates when
they grew up.
Editorial of the Day
AKTICLKS ON HANKING
A needed campaign of education as to the prin-
ciples of banking and the functions of a bank Is being
carried on through the constitution by the American
National Hank. Greater understanding by tho public of
-hanking in general Is needed. The banks cither col-
lectively or individually should do more educational work
along those lines.
A surprisingly large number of people do not realize
that it is just as much a bank's duty to loan a part of
the deposits that It receives as it is to furnish a safe
place for the customer to keep his money. Many people
do not realise that loaning deposits is the only way the
bank has of making the money to maintain an expansive
establishment to care for accounts. They think that their
money is once placed In the bank Is kept there until
they are ready to call for It. This and many other bank-
ing functions are explained in the series of advertise-
ments now being run by the American National.
The banks of the community are Its most important
Institutions. A thorough understanding of how they op-
erate is highly desirable. Ivwton Constitution.

Must Individual independence be sac-
rificed after marriage? Jack and his
bride think not. is ho does ust she
pleases. So does he. Hut as this
chapter reveals the unconventional
doctine has some drawback for the
bride.
I "Old not mention my new cups
when Jack came home that evening.
I Intended to I had set the beuutiful
salad bowl where Jack could see it
but ho didn't notice It. He was
full of his own affairs.
"Soine'lme I want to show Mrs. II.r-
rod that new two-mover" he remarked
casually.
"Why not tonight?" carelessly from
me.
"You don t object Peggins?"
"Is mere a reason why I should?"
I endeavored to spea; still mori care
lessly.
Mrs. Ilerrod la the only woman In
town vho can play a real game of
chess .lack says. And he has seen
them all on ladies' nights at tho club.
For years Mrs. llerrod and Jack
ae discus ed ntil.-ato probem-i. Of
course at her hune. I am sure it

our wedding keep on calling at Mrs.

For a timo I ti.oJt.ht ho Intended
to. And accmdir.c to our pro-r'ip-Hal
von trai". I had no right to ob-
ject. Not the least right.
In the limited space of our apart-
ment it's impossible for a third per
son to be deaf to our end of a phone
conversation. As Jack talked with Mrs
Ilexrod I noticed that he never men
thmed my name! Mrs. llerrod hernelf
must have suggested that I accompany
him for this Is what I heard:
"Oh she will not care! Thank you!
Yes! I'll ask her!" Then to me "1'eg-
gins! Would you care to go over to
Mrs. Herrod's?"
"I'd love to!" I replied. "I've known
her a long time ever since she Joined
the Woman's City Club."
"You won't be bored dearest? Then
tell her you'll come!" Jack handed
me tho phone and soon it wus settled.
Mrs. Herrod although she is nearly
twice Jack's age looked almost young
when she welcomed us. It's queer
how becoming these straight loose dress
es are to women of every age.
I do not remember the name of the
novel I read while their game pro
gressed. My mind wandered constantly
from my book to the old friendship
which existed between the chess play-
ers. I could feel how much they liked
each other. It was in the air. I could
fed It but I could notu ndersland It.
They did not talk much but they
smiled to each other frequently. And
when Jack achieved some piece of bril-
liant strategy Mra. Herrod's smile was
charming.
It was so much more than approval.
It amounted to flattery. As if she
were more delighted to have him win
than to win herself.
They were extraordinary pals. I had
nevor thought they were anything more.
I kept telling myself that she was
twice his age. hut I couldn't help think-
ing as we walked home in silence I
couldn't help wondering If Jack would
have proposed to me had Mra. Herrod
been his own age.
It waa a horrid haunting thought;
one I must not humor; one I must
control; for was I not destined to be
a silent onlooker at mainy (mother
game between them?

Romance is disappearing from the land as well
as the ocean. It is one of the penalties of what
man calls progress or the conquest of the earth and
the elements.
Scientists and inventors are making life duU att-
ain! dried and romance exists with uncertainties.
The modern boy senses this. The briny deep has
no such lure for him as it had for his father. And
the 1922 youngster is losing a lot even if he ima-
gines that he1 is finding as much romance in wireless
and airplanes as his pa found in the domain of
shanghaied sailors.
The day is not far off when romance will exist
only in science. Boyhood probably has in store
flood of hooks of the scientific-romance sort such
as Jules Verne created.

times are at hand.
