POORLY DRAINED ROADS,
Frequent Inspection and a Little Work
viii Keep Them Passable.

Drainage Is the key to success in
making earth roads, and constant
watchfulness is the sure means of
keeping them up after they are once
well made. Water Is destructive to
any road, especially to a dirt road ;
therefore, drainage that will at once
carry away rainfall or melting snow
Is absolutely Necessary. Again, little
breaks in the road may be made by
rain or by heavy load at any time,
and If not repaired Immediately will
grow into mud holes, especially In
the winter, and these mud holes easi-
ly and rapidly develop into an almost
impossible mire. But frequent in
spection and a little work will keep
the road In good condition and with
less cost than under ordinary meth
DDS. With good drainage established
in building the road and frequent in
spection to keep the drainage efficient
and TO mend promptly small injuries
to the surface, the earth roads of the
United States could be maintained in
much higher state of usefulness
than at present, and at considerably
lower cost.
The aim in making a road is to es.
tablish the easiest, shortest, and most
economical line of travel. 1t is there.

dency Of the time, "and that is the
fact that we hurry our children along
the highway of life at too rapid
pace. In your day and mine children
were not so wise. They did not push
them so much at school. AS you
know, they did not begin the serious
studies of life so soon. But now
well. the idea is aptly put in bit of
verse which | found recently in n
South African paper. Here is the way
il runs:
Hurry the baby as fast as you can.
Hurry him, worry him, make him a
man;
on with his baby clothes, get him in
pants,
Feed him on brain foods and make
him advance;
Hustle him. soon as he's able to walk,
Into a grammar school, cram him with
talk:
Fill his poor head full of figures and
facts,
Keep on jamming them in till it
cracks"

so that their grades shall be such that
loaded vehicles may be drawn over
them without great loss of energy;
that they should be properly construct
ed, the roadbed graded, shaped, and
rolled; and that they should be sur
faced with the best available material
suited to the needs.
II Is to be hoped that all the heavy
traffic roads in the United States can
be macadamized, graveled or other
wise improved in the not distant fu-
ture; but owing to the absence in
many places of rock, gravel or other
hard and durable substances with
which to build good roads, and by
reason of the excessive cost of such
roads where suitable material is
scarce. the majority Of our public
highways will of necessity be com
posed of earth for many years to
come. 1t is fortunate, therefore, that
under favorable conditions of traffic,
moisture and maintenance the earth
road Is the most elastic and most sat.

traffic. The condition of the COM
mon roads in this country, especially
in the Middle West, is so deplorable

operate as a complete embargo on

70 FIX ON pANTe's BIRTHPLACE.
The Question Undecided at the Pres
ent Moment.


High and low, rich and poor, have
now but one thought, that of locating
the houses of the Alighieri. This has
been attempted on various occasions,
and some time ago II was established,
to the satisfaction OF the time, that
Dante was born in a certain house,
even the room being pointed out. To
this almost the whole travelling public
has come in pilgrimage; but alas a
dc BIT has arisen, and 1t is now said
that Dante did not live there at all.
The documents which should estab-
lish the right of the matter are few,
brt sufficiently plain to show that IL
net just there, the Alighieri could not
h. 'e been far off. One states that in
IL } the family were living in the
pa. ish of San Martino, and near the
church, as there was n heated ques-
tion about fig tree which Dante's an
cestors had planted and which they
were obliged to root up. In 1877,
after Dante's birth, they were again
In trouble, this time with the abbot
Of the Church of the Bada, so that
they were evidently still in the same
'Shborhood, and, in fact, there is
another document which seems to say
that Dante's father lived among the
people of San Martino, while others
show that after the poets death they
were still there. Thus the neighbor-
hood is established, but the house Is n
more difficult matter. Several build
ings have been demolished, but the
only thing which has come to light
Is wall with coat of arms. the same
as that found on several other houses
Of the diltrict and on the Church of the
Badia. But that proves nothing for
or again7t, as they may have been
added later when the property changed
hands. There are documents, they
say. tracing the different ownerships
OF the houses from 1882. at which
time they were owned by an uncle OF
Dante's. 10 1869 Thus the question

Attacks Apostles Creed.
Or. Macarthur Calls Introduction OF Two
Phrases Gigantic Fraud.

DR.. Robert S. Macarthur, of New
York, has caused a sensation by a
bitter attack on the Apostles Creed.
In an address to a convention OF
Baptist young people, DIR. Mac
Arthur said: "The two phrases,
He descended into hell and 4 be-
lieve in the communion of saints,
which are recognized as part Of the
so.called Apostles Creed, were
smuggled into the creed.
"Who is responsible for their in
PRODUCTION we are unable to tell, but
their introduction into the creed is,
in my opinion, one of the most gig
antic frauds perpetrated in the his
tory OF religion.
members of one faith assert that
the creed was formed by the Apos-
ties, each of them contributing
portion of the declaration of the
principles OF faith" DR.. Macarthur
continued: The Apostles Creed, it
is called, though l know not why.
1t was formed and the two objection
able phrases to which l refer were
smuggled into 1t a hundred years
after the last of the apostles had
died.

to perdition as is done in the first
phrase, and that any minister who
will repeat the creed, using these
phrases, is no Christian"
