Virginia Roads.

Editor of The -Dspatch:
Sir,-One of Nirsinias most prominent
men said recently that money devoted to
the Improvement OF roads should be con-
sidered not as an expense, but as an in
vestment. Nothing could be truer. and
the truth of the statement should be i'm
pressed on the people of Virginia in
every way possible. 1t is rather difficult
to understand why we have SO long borne
the many ills that we have by reason
of bad roads and 1t will certainly be no
less difficult to justify continuance of
these conditions.
The fact that people Will continue to
submit year after year to the virtual
that most of the country dis
trIcts of Virginia endure throughout prac-
tlcaIly three or four months of the year
is as difficult to explain as 1t is morti-
flying to admit. The only explanation
that really explains Is that our people
really do not fully realize what an enor-
nous addition to the comforts of country
life mot to mention the enhancement
in value Of property would be made by
the substitution of good roads for the
quagmires that disgrace the many COM
munities in which they are found.
Considering merely the opportunity for
greater Indulgence in social pleasures that
good roads offer. their desirability can
hot be questioned for why should naar
neishbors become strangers to one a.-
other during a great part of the yeHl'
by reason of the risk to life and limb,

Condition of Grove Avenue.
Editor of The T'imcs-Dltpatch.

1ultOr OF me Ilnlcs-Dltpatch:
sir,-With your permission would like
TO emphasize tho complaint recently
made of the condition OF Grove Avenue.
! have been familiar with the avenue
FOR some six years, and do not think
~ has been much worse In that time
than 1t hns boon during tho bad weather
OF this winter A year or two ago 1t was
put IN pretty good condition, but neglect
and tho heavy hauling, especially by
city teams hauling dirt to adjacent
streets, have nulllfied much of the good
work that was done. This is n very
popular thoroughfare. both with pedes-
TRANS and vehicles and 1t seems that 1T
should be kept In better condition.
Another thing: 1t has been about two
years. think. since grnnolithic guttering
and curblng was put down on the north
side. Why should the south side be CHI
tirely sighted in this respect? The city
claims control to the fence line. and one
side Is as much entitled to this Improve
mt.,t as tho other. ms / view IT.; more
over TIL property-owncrs on the south
side gave their property for the widen
ing OF the avenue and are entitled 20
consideration moro than those on the
north side, think yet they ARE entirely
ignored and neglected. During wet
weather II is absolutely Impossible to
cross from the south side without getting
your shoes half covered with mud, and
the crossings at the corners on the same
side are Just as bad. or worse. i suppose
the answer would be, either that the
southslders pay no taxes TO the city, or
that there is but little building on their
side. The fact that the city controls
both sides. as stated above. and used
the owners property to widen the street.
should be sufficient answer to the first
objection; and the other fact that build
ing follows street Improvement should
answer the second However the an
neSation question be settled there is
no doubt but that the south side OF the
avenue will be taken into the city, and
the latter should encourage improvements
on that side. which will ultimately re-
lound to her benefit. Not only that, but.
as l happen to know, nearly all the
southsiders are property-owners and tax
payers in the city. also, and are entitled
to consideration on that account. 1t would
not cost n great deal to put the avenue
In splendid condition. and as the city is
now boasting OF her fine financial health.
hope she will get busy" on this pop
ular thoroughfare very soon.

nIatabes. Sometimes you were afraid

because you could not SEQ ahead.

Alarming the Clergy.


According to certain section of the
New York clergy, the women of America
are In rather n bad way. They are TAX
Ing to drink like SO many fishes. A we'll
known metropolitan pulpit orator
merely revoiced a familiar warning when
he declared a day or so ago that the
drink habit among our women was
alarmingly on the increase, and now
constituted "a great peril to the home
and TO the republic" Girls in their teens.
he asid, were constantly seen industrious
ly topping in public places. And he added
the specific assertion that at recent
New York luncheon, "twenty-four very
young women drank thirty-six bottles
of champagne. while fifteen of them
smoked seven dozen of Cigarettes"
All this would be properly terrifying If
we had not heard it before so often in
the past. The topic seems 10 have
singular fascination for metropolitan d.
vines. and their views upon 1t have long
been unaiterably pessimistic. For some
years now the drink evil among the la
dies has been "alarmngly on the in
crease" BY this time, at the indicated
rates, the entire sex should be hope
lessly inehriate and doubtless in retire
ment somewhere receiving the gold cure.
For decade or so, the "home and the
republic" have been steadily menaccd
By rapidly growing army CT bibulous
females. Yet society has still managed

men are in any sense becoming victims
