A HOLIDAY is a desirable institution. We are in favor of holidays. A A man gets so efficient at his job that he is too efficient, which means he is not really efficient. He is just a machine for grinding out a certain product. Along comes a holiday and before he know^s it he IS in favor of abolishing w-ork and having everybody spend their dayS boating, swimming and dancing. However, there is another Side tO the holiday. It takes money. A dollar will only go SO far. \Vhen the average person has done about so much of this holiday business, he says to himself; “Well, Fm a rank failure. Fm light-headed and be- .sides I won’t have any money if I don’t get to work on time tomorrow and pull like a good fellow.” Thus a holiday is good going and com ing. It makes one believe in play and work in about the right propor tions. The only fellow who doesn’t enjoy a holiday is the one who ■doesn’t enjoy work, and the only fellow Who doesn’t enjoy work is the one who doesn’t enjoy a holiday. Some people are in danger from too m u c h belief in work and some lose the big idea in putting too much stress on holidays. Yes, life has its risks on the right hand and on the left, but altogether we are in favor of holidays. Our Fine State Roads. A LMOST unnoticed, save in a formal way. New York State is A achieving a magnificent network of State highways connecting all its important cities and villages. It is commendable work the State Highway Department has been doing year in and year out, and no State e x p e n d i t u r e is d o i n g m o r e f o r people than these splendid roads. Roads o n c e almost impassable have been made into boulevards and the old dirt road that wound its way through hill and dale to connect the various places of importance and give the farmer a way to market, has been made a joy to the automombilists. Lakes and rills, which years ago were not accessible except by arduous journey by wagon, can how be reached in a short time. It is all making for a broader life, not only for those who are fortunate enough to have cars, but for everybody. The city man is meeting the country man. There is very little isolation now. The big rubber tire track is found far back in the woods and searching out the very heart of the wilderness. Excellent Judgment. rpH E EVENING ENTERPRISE agrees with the New York Times JL that a closer censorship is needed on German spies and not quite so radical a c e n s o r s h i p o n American newspapermen. In handling the news- of the landing of American troops in France, the United Press carefully followed the guidance of the War Depart ment. Under the circumstances, The Enterprise congratulates the United Press on its handling of this story. \ The Dogs in the City. « T t R are going to say a word for the dog. The police have been VV taking a dog census. They have found many dogs unlicensed. But it may be hoped plenty of leeway will be given before killing off these dogs. “Dumb Animals” says: “He has broken out again—the dog hater. He says there are 5,000,000 dogs in the country, mostly ‘worthless curs’; that it costs $36.50 a year to support a dog. Con sequently, by killing off all the dogs, we would save $182,^0,000 annually. Comment is unnecessary. You can make figures prove anything—when you make the figures.” Dogs are particularly friendly to boys. If we were a boy and had a dog, we’d earn some money somehow and buy a license for him. Dogs must have licenses in cities, of course.

The cooking and the laundry work is done on specially de- sigrned stoves. Gas is used for ironing and a •water heater furnishes an abundance of hot water. In chilly w-eather, gasteam radiators and reflectors and reflector heaters keep iihings comfortably warm. This is the modem wiay. It reduces the work of the housekeeper to a minimum and saves an enormous amount of time. It gives a cleancut, sanitary appearance to the kitchen and where the gas is used intelligently, it is very economical.
