Under the Law no grade in the police

be vacated unless the incumbent is found

is dismissal. It. is cited by Devery's

MAKING SAND ROADS.
With a Proper Admixture of Clay
Durable Highways Result.

Judge Eve reports that he has been
claying the sand roads of Richmond
county, Ga, for twenty years with the
result of obtaining very pleasant hard
roads that last five years without re.
building"
The rule Is to put down six inches of
clay with two inches of sand on top of
1t, and it is better to put on the sand
when the clay is wet. When the right
proportions are used, "a crust is form
ed which sheds the water, and the road
stays In good condition"
The roadbed should. Of course, be
first graded properly and raised in the
middle so as to shed water to the
drains. In dry weather the clay sand
road is ideal. which cannot be said Of
a sandy road. The cost of construction
Is In proportion to the distance the clay
has to be hauled. There are seventy
five miles of such roads in Richmond
county. 1t is equally efficient to sand
the clay roads. Before 1880 Judge Eve
says finally, many stretches for sew
eral miles along our roads were un-
cultivated. Now they are in a high
state Of cultivation, and land values
have handsomely increased"

The saving effected through the con-
struction of scientific roads, which can
be kept in good running condition at
small annual expense, would more than
pay for the full cost of road building Of
half century ago, says G. E. Walsh
in Gunton's Magazine. This saving is
not always apparent at first. for the
first cost seems to overshadow all 9TH
er considerations In the minds of the
shortsighted economists. 1t took two
decades of agitation to convince most
of the residents of rural districts that
1t was more profitable to build good
roads under the direction of road engi-
neers than to rebuild and repair the
old dirt roads after a fashion in vogue
since the beginning of things. The
greatest triumph in the movement may
be said to be the complete education Of
the farmers to proper appreciation
and understanding of the whole ques-
tion of scientific road building.

Draining the Road.

Where the roadmaker encounters
seepy or soft ground In the subgrade.
such places should be properly aud
thoroughly drained by the use of drain
tile laid along the center of the road
way on one or more lines to culverts
intersecting across the road, thus
draining and drying out the subgrade
and giving him a dry foundation on
which to build. as the presence OF any
undue quantity Of moisture uHSer the
roadway would prevent him from do
ing permanent work. The success Of
his efforts will depend entirely upon
the drainage he obtains.

HIGHWAYS OF NORWAY.w
National Government Maintains
Splendid system of Roads.

Splendid System of Roads.
When one travels in Norway. he is
compelled to adopt primitive means Of
transportation, and that's the charm Of
1t, says w. +. Curtis in Chicago Rec
ord-Herald. There are plenty of rivers
and lakes with damp sheep" upon
them-thats the Norwegian word for
steamboat-but IL you want to go in any
other direction you must take a car
riage; or, II there are only two of you,
q native cart called a stolk jarre; or, II
you are alone, carriole which Is q
sort of sulky. The arrangements are
perfect, and the roads are fine. Every
thing Is under government supervision
for the comfort and convenience of
travellers, even the scenery, which is
sublime. You can ride all day without
a jolt, for the roads are as hard as
asphalt pavement and smoother than
most Of 1t, for in our cities the asphalt
pavements generally have plenty Of
places that need repair.
suppose that when the United
States is thousand years old we will
have such roads in our country, for
good roads are the growth of Gen.
turtles and are not constructed by men
in a hurry. Julius Cesar-or was It
Hannibal ?-started the good roads
movement in southern Europe, and in
Norway 1t began in the days Of the
vikings. The national government here
took charge of the highways in 1925
and has been extending and improving
them ever since.
1t is generally the rule that the best
roads are found in countries where
their construction is difficult. You can
drive anywhere on our western pra!-
ries, but through the Norwegian noun.
tains a roadway has to be hewn out of
the rocks.

Eight MINERS DEAD
Killed by an Exp!,si,1 10 the
CharIH Nine
A WHOLE TOWN IN MOURNING
Examination Showed That Seven of
the Miners Died From Suffocat
Only One of the Bodies Being in
Any Way Disfigured.

Iron Mountain, Mich, June Eight
miners were killed yesterday in the
seventh level of the Ludington shaft,
Chaplin mine, by the deadly fumes fol-
lowing an explosion of dynamite
The dead: Antonio Farnetti, John
Amone, Joseph Passiri, John Milano,
Louis Tassi John Bertelli, Rinaldo
Ausninio, unknown Polish miner.
Nearly 80 children were rendered
fatherless by the explosion.
The men entered the level early in
the morning and began preparations
for the days work by starting a pow
der-thawing machine. 1t is supposed
they scattered through the workings
near by and forgot to keep the ma
chine supplied with powder. If this
supposition is correct, the reason for
the explosion lies in the fact that the
machine became red hot and set off a
quantity of dynamite stored near by.
The fumes quickly spread and the men
were overcome before they realized
their danger.
This explanation is borne out by the
fact that only one of the bodies was
disfigured, showing that seven died
from suffocation. The entire city IS
in mourning.

RETIRED FOR EIGHT YEARS.
Paroled Convict Who Couldn't Behave
Sent Back.

Lansing. Mich. June 4.-Gov Bliss
has issued mis- warrant for the return
to Jackson prison of Louis +. Arno,
who was sent to state prison for life
for debauching Pearl Butler, but
whose sentence was last December
committed to 10 years by Gov. Pin
gree, who subsequently paroled the
convict. Arno is now under arrest in
Detroit for enlightenment.
In view of the fact that Immediately
after his release from prison, Arno
married the Butler girl without secur-
ing a divorce from his wife, ii is in
teresting TO note that the reasons
cited by Gov. Pingree for giving him
his liberty were that the best interests
of society would be subserved by per-
hitting him to support his wife and
two children, who were being cared
for by the Detroit poor commission.
Arno will have eight years TO serve

Lansing, Mich, June 5.-Acting on
the recommendation of the pardon
board, Gov. Bliss has granted pardons
to Edward Maher and George Carroll,
who were last October sent from Cass
county to Jackson prison for two
years for breaking and entering a
dwlling house. The facts are that the
two men were tramping and had Sc
cured a cabbage from a field. They
then opened the unlocked door of a
vacant house and helped themselves
to an old tin can in which they cooked
the cabbage. This constituted their
entire offense.

THE DEADLY GASOLINE
Leaves a Young Girl in Precarious
Condition


Kalamazoo, Mich, June 5.-With
her clothes burned from her trunk and
one-fOurth of her body covered with
burns, Bessie Lindsay lay in a critical
condition all yesterday as the result Of
a gasoline accident. If she survives
the shock her recovery is doubtful
from the seriousness of her injuries.
The young woman is a daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Lindsay of John
street. She was filling a stove tank
from a pitcher of gasoline when the
oil caught fire and the room was a
mass Of flames in an instant. Had her
cries not attracted her parents and
neighbors, she would have been
burned to death instantly. Her father
blistered his arm to the elbow rolling
her in the grass and smothering the
flames in a quilt. The mother had to
force her way through the flaming
kitchen before she could minister to
her daughter. The blaze was extin.

SaWmilI Plant on Fire.

Saginaw, Mich, June AT 1920
last night fire broke out at the sawmill
plant owned by Gov. Bliss in Carroll

down the river and no particulars
have been received. Indications are
for a disastrous confagration. A
steamer and two hose carts have been
sent from here. There is a possibility
of great destruction of lumber. Three
years ago a loss of over $50 1000 was
sustained at the same place.
