portion of the States have less than
ten per cent. Of their roads improved

Tennessee has 1899 miles of pub

nine per cent has been improved
Virginia has 51.s12 miles. of which
1900 miles are improved, giving but
one mile of improved roads to every

One Of the greatest needs of this
country is good roads. The eoun-
tries of Europe have better roaes
than we have. Thousands OF wealthy
Americans go to Europ, every year
to run automobiles over the coed
oads there This is not a pressing
reason why we should have them,
but it is a pointer to our condition.
We need good roads most especially
for the sake Of the farming commune
ty, They would enable the farmer
to get to market better He could
save money and time by drawing
much larger loads. The saving ia
this respect, the country over, would
amount to millions Of dollars every
year. Good roads would bring us
practically closer to our neighbors.
They would add T. our convenience
and comfort In many ways, besides
increasing the value of our lands.
Some sections now have fairly good
roads. Others are wretchedly pro-
vided All coIld make decided i'm
provement. Nothing tells more for
an agricultural community than good
roads.

The foil or silver paper, which is used
the world over for wrapping cigars.
chocolates, cakes Of yeast, etc, owes its
origin, like the telephone, to America.
A New York man, over so years ago,
gave a good deal OF time to an unsuc-
cessful attempt 10 cover iron bolts with
copper Such bolts would have taken
the place Of the costly ones OF pure
copper The man, though, could not
make them.
But in the beating out Of the copper
he hit on the idea Of beating out TN.
He beat it out between sheets OF lead,
and the beautiful, flexible silver paper
that he obtained achieved an instant
popularity.
Tin foil, or silver paper, is now beaten
from pure tin exactly as gold leaf IS
beaten from pure gold It is usually
rolled in sheets four feet long by SIX
inches wide. It IS perfectly easy, with
little beating. to double the length and
breadth of these sheets without adding
any new material to them.-St. Louis

Congressional Interest In Roads.
The closing hours Of Congress
were enlivened by a number Of good
roads speeches. in the course Of
which the necessity for government
aid in improving the public high
ways was brought out in no uncer-
tain manner, writes the Washington
correspondent Of Automobile. Rep
.resentative Bankhead, Of Alabama,
in very able address, declared that
to his mind the condition Of the
wagon roads, over which ninety per
cent. OF all the commerce OF the
country is transported, presented a
problem for legislation by Congress
far more serious and important in
its results than that OF railroad reg
ulatiou. There is no necessity, he
said. for making an argument to
prove the value of good roads. They
save worry, waste and energy. They
economize time, and labor and mon
ey, and enhance the value Of prop
erty lie pointed ont that it has
been estimated that every time the
sun sets the American farmers have
lost $500. 900 because Of the condi-
ton Of the roads. Representative
Baukhead produced a set of figures,
showing the cost of hauling per ton,
horse power, over dirt roads five
miles, was SIPS, and that sum will
pay the freight for $50 miles on 4
railroad or SOC miles on a river and
1000 miles on the lakes. These fig
ures prove couclusiveiy the enormous
tax levied by the bad roads on the
farmers. and how much of their leg
itimate profit is consumed in hauling
from their farms to railroad stations
and river landings
The speaker declared that the
question OF governmental road con-
struetion had been successfully tried
for many years in other countries.
Representative Lloyd began his
speech by saying that he Endorsed the
statement of a prominent citizen who
said that he could tell the intelli<
gence and progress of the people by
the condition of their roads. The
wag on the streets said in reply:
Then judge our people when the
weather is dry" He then went on to
call attention to what the Federal
Government has done. Is doing, and
what it may do to encourage road
Improvement In his Judgment the
Bureau Of Public Roads in the De-
partment of Agriculture is one OF the
most important branches OF public
service, and from II inealeu1able ben
eft may come. This great service
thus far has been somewhat over
looked, and its work has not been
fully known or properly appreciated.
One step in the onward movement to
give the country better roads is to
encourage the development of the
road department of the Department
of Agriculture by enlarginL the scope
Of its labors. increasing its force of
expert engineers and specialists and
bringing it more in touch with peo-
pie. so that they can receive more
of its benefits by practical demon
stration of its real value.

It is not generally known-not
even among painters-why certain
tints and coiors wear much better
than others on houses, and the
knowledge of Just what tints are best
to use is, therefore. rather hazy.
One writer on paint, IN recent
book, says that experiments seem to
show that those colors which resist
or turn back the heat rays OF the
sun will protect a house better than
those which allow these rays to pass
through the Aim
Thus red is good color because
1t turns back, or reflects, the red
rays, and the red rays are the hot
rays.
In general, therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor. so far as wear is concerned.
In choosing the color of paint for
your house. select reds. browns,
grays and olives which, considering
the various tones these tints will
produce, will give wide range from
which to choose.
Avoid the harsh .ints, such as cold
yellows (like lemon). cold greens
tlike grass green. etc., and the
blues.
1t must be understood that no vlr-
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint Any color will fade. and
