ROYALS WON FROM NE WARK

Jersey City won yesterdays game
from Buffalo, and incidentally first place,
in one of the finest contests on the Buff
falo field The Bisons were shut out
and the Skeeters kept down to a lone
tally. Thielman won the game, but he
was supported by errorless, even bril-
liant, playing in the field. He pitched
one of the best games of the present
year, allowing but three scattered hits,
while Milligan was touched up for nine.
Milligan, however, pulled himself out Of
numerous tight places. Five times the
Skeeters had the bases covered when
they were retired without adding a run
to their lone tally. Pattee scored the
winning run, but it was a two-bagger by
Thielman that sent Pattee across the
plate. Woods had sacrificed to advance
Pattee bag. Only twice did Buffalo
man reach second base.
In the sixth inning. while at the bat,
Left Fielder Miller was hit in the right
temple by one of Thielman's shoots and
came near being bowled over. His eve
wa sbadly blackened He was forced to
retire from the game and was substituted
by Pitcher Greene.

In northern sections frost Is another
cause Of failure and one more dinieuIt to

Frost is temporarily destructive 10 a

mixture must extend below the frost line
# the road is built on a clay foundation.
Freezing disinsegrates the saul-clay COM
position and makes it soft, sluslly mud,
which, however, repacks again after each
heavy rain although frequently Ieaving
the road surface somewhat rough. There
fore in general practice it is necessary to
make the sand-clay mixture of such a
depth as to extend few inches below
the frost line.
Other causes of failure are the i'm
proper selection of clay and the improper
treatment of the clay used Ferrugirsous
clays are The best, and ehalky clays the
poorest.
No road Of any kind is likely to prove
satisfactory unless drainage of the road

MERELY
MENTIONED

Archibald NJ Henry and his friends
will be rather pleased with the news that
the Executive Committee of the Demo
cratic County Committee has decided to
whoop things up a bit. There is a woe
ful lack of energy on the part Of the
Democratic managers and it is encemrag-
ing to know that some ginger is to be
injected into the campaign, which to all
intents and purposes has been under way
for several weeks. 1t is conceded by
Democrats that Mr.. Henry viii be the
Mayoraity choice Of his party, just as
1t is conceded that Mayor Pagan will be
put up for a third term BY the Relpubli-
cans. The Mayors campaign started
with the Elks' Hall meeting. The meet
ing, though gotten up under false pre-
tence, gave the Mayor an opportunity of
explaining his attitude publicly on GER
tain questions. The Democrats should
nave similar meeting, so that Mr.. Hen
ry would have the chance of putting him
self on record on these same questions.
How does Henry stand on Equal Taxa
ton? How about the Frahchise proposi-
ton? What is Henry attitude on the
proposed new City Hospital and other
public improvements. and will he fellow
the plan Of Mayor Pagan in jaeking up
valuations in order TO keep down the
tax rate? These are matters that con-
cern the people and they are entitled TO
know how the prospective Democratic
Mayoralty candidate views them. Mr..
Henry should lose no time in making his
attitude known. The sooner he takes the
public into his confidence the better. Be
ing a business man of high standing and
not political trickster who is as change
able on public questions as is the state
Of the weather, the people will lave
faith in what he says,
