inc much attention, and I'M
der the direction Of eEperts
Of the Office OF Public Road inquiries
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture sections of roads, as obJect
lessons. are being built in different
PARTS Of the country. 1t is hoped Iliit
before many years all roads in the
limited States used for heavy trafllc
will be macadamized, grayeled or
otherwise improved. But the absence
in many places of rock. gravel or othef
hard and durable substances with
which to build good roads, and the eN-
cessiye cost of such roads where suit
able material is scarce, will necessl-
tatc the use of earth roads for many
wears TO come. Under favorable con-
ditious OF traffic, moisture and main
tcn9nce, the earth road is the most
elastic and most satisfactory for pleas
ure ard light traffic.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has in press and will soon
issue Farmers Eullctin No. 136, on
titled. earth Roads It was pre-
pared by Maurice Q. Eldrid@e, AS
sistant Director, Public Road In
quiries.
The bulletin states that the aim in
making road is to establish the cas-
lest. shortest and most economical line
of travel. and that it is therefore do
sirable that roads should be firm.
smooth. comparatively level ard fit
for use at all seasons of the year.
They should be properly located so
that their grades shall he such that
loaded vehicles may be drawn over
them without great: loss of energy:
properly constructed, the roadbed
graded shaped and rolled. and sur
faced with the best available material
suited to their needs.
Attention is called to various errors
in laying out roads. especially the COM
: mon error of endeavoring to secure
routes covering the shortest distance
between fixed points. For this pur-
+, pose the road is often made to go over
/ a hill instead of around it. A road
| halfway around hill or through 4
valley is sometimes no longer than a
road over a hill or through a valley
The difference in the length even be-
/ tween a straight road and one that is
! lightly curved is less than many sup
| pose.
The Importance of proper drainage
is pointed out and suggestions are
given for the construction, maintcn-
ance and repair of earth roads.
The bulletin contains twenty illus
| trations. 1t is for free distribution,
and copies will be sent to any address
ON application to Senators, Represen-
tatives and delegates in Congress, or
to the Secretary Of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. G.

Making o Good Highway,

A good road can be made by putting
In layer of large or medium sized
stone, then ON that layer Of crushed
stone, and on that covering Of gravel,
and rolling the surface down hard
and smooth. But that is not all that Is
needed. A part Of the skill is like
the old gentleman's rule for making
good coffee: When you make it put
in some" We have been watching the
work On a bit of road this season.
There are about three inches in depth
of the round cobble stones, one inch
Of crushed stone and one inch OF gra-
vel and loan mixed, which, by wetting
and rolling has been so pressed down
into the stones that it is now less than
q half inch. If it were whitewashed
after it was rolled it could not look
much better. but it might be more
durable. We think before one winter
passes the larger stones will be at the
surface and the covering will have
washed away or settled down below
them. In close proximity to strip
built by the State as an example of
how to build a good road, it is likely
to furnish Gn equally good example of
how not to make good road. 1t is
one Of these cases, too common where
the town thought to give employment
to it's own citizens, instead of hiring
the work done by contract, when it
would have been better to have en-
ployed Il competent man, with able
bodied help. and supported its cripples
from the towns poor fund, than to
have paid them $1.15 for eight hours

OLD STORY OF REJECTED STONE
Play Turned Down by Every Manages
in LOndOn Finally Proves

LONDON. May 10.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram. lowing to the
complaint that the actor-managers gave
new dramatic talent no chance, George
Alexander and Beerbohm Tree recently
offered to produce, free Of expense, any
play chosen by a committee Of the Play
goers' club.
Upwards of 500 anonymous manuscripts
were sent to the committee. which decided
on 9TH Finding of Nancy as the most
presentable one turned out. This play,
by Meta Syretta, had been declined by
every manager in London. 1t was pro-
duced at the st. James theater on Thurs
day and met with instantaneous success.
1t is a play Of motive and conversation
rather than action, the heroine being a
hard working typewriter. who finds her
affinity in a married man with a drunken
wife. An arrangement is made between
them, but her fancy strays to another
admirer, finally to revert to her original
lover. now become a wIdower. The clever
ness of the play lies in its enforced realism
and 1t is declared to be the finest essay
in problem drama since "The Second Mrs,
Tanqueray." The result Of the production
apparently justihes the grievance of ''the
Great Unplayed."

WARNS UP THE SOCIALISTS
object TO Payment for Portraits Of

Copyright. 1902, by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS, May 1O.-(New Work World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. )-Chartran's
portrait Of Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt, which
has been hung in the salon, has started a
socialist campaign against such amenities
between the presidential houses Of two re-
publics when they are at the public ex-
pense. Petitions signed by hundreds Of AK
payers have been cried requesting President
Loubet to pay Chartran out Of his own
money. The petitions state that the signers
have no objection to certain necessary in
ternational demonstrations OF good feeling
from people to people, but the buying of
little personal presents among the elected
representatives out OF the public moneys
constitutes an act which would be unbecom-
ing even in a monarch.
Attention is called to the fact that Mrs.
and Miss Roosevelt have no more oficial
existence than any OF Mr.. Roosevelt's cous-
ms, aunts or sisters. When the news was
first cabled that President Roosevelt had
expressed the opinion that 1t was useless
for the French government to decorate Ad-
miral Dewey and General Miles with the
Legion OF Honor, the press of Paris almost
unanimously 1auded that message as a fine
example Of American simplicity and disdain
governed their subjects or citizens. When
President Roosevelt denied the statement
several days later everybody expressed dis
appointment to find him unequal to the pop
ular democratic idea.

Jacquelin to two bad falls and the wet

under such dramatic weather, The black

cheered the plueky Lawson who refused
to have the race postponed, though he was
hurt in the first heat. This was raced anew
and Jaequelin's terrific squirting powers
proved too much for the American. who
was beaten two lengths. In the second
heat the cement track was like a river.
When the racers came abreast, tearing
down the final stretch, the wheels drove the
water up before them like the bows OF a
steamboat. The Frenchman made a last
rush, passing Lawson irresistibly and beat
him by two lengths and a half. A number
