had an enrolment of about 300. and
was one of the leading coeducational

history for four years and when the

there was mutual agreement to dis

the Messersmith family began to
throw dirt and hair and refuse of va
rious sorts from the hall window into
the Megary flower garden and the
wind would often take the dirt and
carry it over close to the Megary resi-

elder Megary finally called on the Mes

tended to build an obstruction against
their window to keep down what had
become a nuisance. The Messersmith

AUTOS IN THE CONGO
CARRY FREIGHT INTO THE IN

Roads Hundreds of Miles Long Built
or Planned-Steam Railroads to
Come Later-Lines Are
Profitable.

New York.-King Leopold of Bel
gium, sovereign of the Congo Free
State, said in an interview the other
day that the state is now sending out
motor cars to run on the automobile
freight roads that are being extended
from the Congo river into parts of the
interior not likely to be penetrated by
railroads for some time to come.
The building of these roads has been
in progress two years and two of them
have already been partly equipped
with rolling stock.
One of the automobile roads has
been extended from LeOpOldville to
the southeast to connect the Congo at
its chief port on the inner plateau
with the Kwango in the south. The
distance is 300 miles.
This is a finely built, rock ballasted
road with perfect drainage. 1t would
not be possible in a country where
rains are so cOpiOus to run automO-
biles on a common dirt road. The
automobile roads of the Congo will
compare favorabIy with the best high
ways in any land
The accompanying picture shows
the two types of auto motors that are
being introduced for freight purposes.
The motive power in both of them is
steam.
In one the motor is a part of the
freight wagon. The other machine is
a steam engine of much greater pow
er, intended to haul a train of from
10 to IS freight wagons.
