has been shown that had Montgomery
county spent one-half of the amount
of money its roads have cost in the
past 10 wears in the building of mod
erp roads during the same length of
time, As miles of good macadam road
would now furnish easy access to all
the main points of the county. But
such is not the case.
1T has been shown also that should
I the counties of Maryland take up the
total amount of State aid under the
Shoemaker law it would be possible
to build 1000 miles of modern, or
State roads within 10 years-enough
to insure easy traffic between all parts
of the State. And the residents of
the counties under the new law have
the matter entirely in their own
hands, for they know that by the
pledge of two-thirds of the property
owners along a piece of road to pay
10 per cent. of the cost of building the
road commissioners of the county can
be forced to petition for the allotted
share of state aid. Again, it is well
to emphasize the fact that the Shoe
maker law puts within reach of the
real producers in a community a very
good thing at very reasonable price
to the county, namely, one-ha'f the
actual expense.
Recent mention has been made of
movements in Montgomery, Hartford,
Prince Georges and Caroline coun-
ties to take advantage of the State
aid road fund. A number of the
counties have provided themselves
with expert road engineers to handle
or direct most of their work. Prince
Georges county is planning on
large scale; Hartford county has ac-
tuallY begun some of its work, and
Baltimore county wants to build a
mile of State road in each of its Is
districts.''

GARRETT CO.'S LACK OF INTEREST
Meanwhile Engineer Crosby And
His Assistants Are Busy Prepar-
ing Specifications.

Reports come from all parts of the
State that the Commissioners of the
various counties have taken up, with
very few exceptions, the question of
good roads under the provisions of
the Shoemaker law in some form or
other.
Meanwhile the highway engineer,
Mr.. W. w. Crosby, and his corps of
assistants have been as busy as posi-
BILE preparing specifications of those
counties that have already applied
for State aid in the matter of building
good roads on a basis of economy
and efficiency. From the present
outlook, it would seem that next year,
when petitions will again be received
for :the State aid which the Shoe
maker law provides for every county,
the Department of Highways will
have to keep the "busyday" sign COLI

DR.. William Bullock Clark, chief
of the Maryland Geological Survey,
who has general supervision of all
the bodybuilding of the State said
"The people of the State are fast
awakening to the fact that the poor
condition of roads, wherever they oc-
cur has not been altogether the re-
suit of shortness of road appropria-
tions, but due in part to the manner
in which the money has been applied,
and that the same amount of money
scientifically applied will in compare
lively few years guarantee a system
OF satisfactory roads which the out
lay and toll of years has failed to
produce. The State-aid road law
has already aroused more than ordi-
nary interest, as is shown by the
(>any applications to the Maryland
illogical Survey for plans and esti-
mates of the cost of modern macadam
roads, which many of the boards of
County Commissioners purpose to
make under the new road law.
1.-THE most earnest advocates of sci
entifically built roads have never
urged that a system of modern roads
could be secured at once, but it has
been repeatedly pointed out and dem
orstrated by experienced that sys
tenn of good roads can be gradually
and conveniently built up by adding
each year small pieces of modern
roads wherever the conditions most
demand improvement. As an exam
pie of the comparison between the
results of scientifically built roads, it

Testing Eggs in Mexico.

1t is a common sight in the plaza to
behold a stall woman, who is selling
two reals worth of eggs, pick them
up one by one, put one end and then
the other to her lips and hand them
over to the customer. who repeats
the same identical operation.
To the inexperienced onlooker it
seems as if they were tasting the ex-
tremeties of the egg. AS matter of
fact, they never touch the egg with
the tongue.
The idea of the performance is that
when an egg is fresh one end is dis
tinctly colder than the other. The
end which has the air chamber is the
warmer of the two. The human lips
are excee dinghy sensitive to heat and
cold, and even the novice at this
form of egg testing promptly becomes
capable judge. If both ends of the
egg re zeal the same temperature,
that egg NAV be counted as bad as it
is fairly good sign that the air
chamber is broken and the contents
spread equally within the shell-Mex-

the railways are not in condition to
handle the business if it were. Secre-
tary Wilson and DR.. Salmon were in
Chicago several days last week and in

These officials saw very clearly from
practical illustration at the Chicago
