DON'T WORRY.

What is past can never be mended;
Never cry over money spent.
Fer keep looking for the brightest
Things of life as they are sent
Meier look backward for old troubles
Look for better things ahead
Do not worry; nor let sadness
Bring back sorrows that have fed.
Make the most of what life gives you,
Meet storms as best you can.
Don't sit down, and go to growing;
Keep on smiling, be a man.
If your tooth aches, grin and bear it;
Don't get mad and rip and tear;
Go straighway and call dentist,
Don't let people hear you swear.
Meet your friends with smiles of
welcome,
Helping them to bear hfe's ills.
Show them how dose of laughter
Beats drastic dose of pills.
Ne'er give way to melancholia,
Seek for joy in sorrows stead;
Get the best this world can give you,
For you'll be long time dead.

SAW MARY GOOD
HIGHWAYS ABROAD.
Dir. william Bullock Clark Foand
European Roads to ne Excellent.

Prof. William Bullock Clark, chief Of
the State Geological Survey, which has
charge of the building of the State roads
in Maryland, has Just returned from
three months trip in Europe. where he
examined the State highways in the
countries which he visited, Professor
Clark says:
II landed in Naples early in August
and drove extensively over the Italian
State roads about Naples, Rome, and
Florence, as we'll as later in Northern
Italy on my way to the Dolomites of the
Tyrol. The roads everywhere were
made Of crushed stone in accordance
with the most modern methods Of high
way construction.
The Italian Government has spent
large sums on all its highways and one
is greatly impressed with the attention
which has been given to the establish
ment of low grades and to the protec-
ton of the highways by the construc-
ton Of substantial side walls, bridges
and culverts The people everywhere
demand hard and smooth roadways,
with reduced grades in order that their
products may be readily transported to
market. This system Of modern high
ways has been largely developed within
the last 20 or 30 years, although many
Of the earlier roads were excellent.
I'm Austria drove between 200 and
300 miles across the Dolomite mountains
and beyond the eastern border of Swift
zerland. Here the Tyroles Government
has built an elaborate system of modern
highways, which have been carried by
easy grades over the high Alpine passes,
and afforded everywhere a ready means
of communication between the towns
and villages of that mountainous coun-
try. In many cases the roadbed has
been secured by blasting away great
masses of rock along the mountain slopes
and often by extensive fills and costly
bridges. AS in the case of Italy, the
people of this mountainous country
have in late years demanded and have
been given by Government as complete
system of highways as can be found
anywhere in Northern or Western Eu-
rope.
Leaving Eastern Switzerland,
spent several days driving through the
Bavarian mountains on my way to
Munich, and here, too, the Government
has constructed the same type of splen-
did stone highways which had previous
ly found. Throughout Germany the
subordinate roads as we'll as the main
ones have been graded and macadamiz-
ed, so that one may travel anywhere
without encountering a bad piece 'of
public highway.
Later in the summer | spent week
automobiling with some friends in the
region to the west of Paris, travelling
several hundred miles through the
chateau country of the valley of the
Loire. Every bad grade has been elm
mated on both the main and the subor-
dinate highways, and the stone surfaces
are as smooth as a billiard table. We

often passed the State highway con-
struction forces, and now and then saw
the full equipment of steam roller,
construction and living car, and sprink-
Ter on its way from one place of work
10 another The highways everywhere
are lined with small piles of stone and
screenings, which are applied to the
roads whenever slight depressions de-
velop ani then smoothly rolled by the
steam rollers. The roads in this way
are kept in perfect condition. and small
depressions which might develop into
serious injury to the public highways
are never allowed to remain long with
cut attention
The same type of highway was
again encountered in England, where |
found that the same methods were pur-
sued. In making inquiry regarding cost
of construction found that the crushed
stone cost as much lain upon the road in
England as it does with US, although
some of the other expenses, due to the
low price Of labor, We're somewhat less.
Everywhere iu Europe great atten-
is given to the perfecting of complete
system Of smooth public highways of
easy grades. Even the poorest country
or province considers the building of the
best possible roads to be in the long run
the most economical policy. The work
is done everywhere under engineering
supervision and in accordance with the
most carefully drawn specifications. No
Eaphazard method of road construction
is tolerated there, as it is in so many of
our American communities. 1t is re-
cognized everywhere that a bad loca-
ton or improper construction results in
waste of public money. The systems
and methods of road construction pur-
sued in every country country which
visited would be revelation to anyone
who is not familiar with the history of
State road construction.
1--WE have made great strides here in
Maryland in the last few years, and
believe it will not be many years before
we shall be able to develope the same
system of public highways that are
found today everywhere in Western
Europe. There is no. American State
that is not today far better able to meet
the expenditure for such system of
public roads than many of the European
countries which have them. The latter
have long since recognized the fact that
the greatest economy in the long run in
system of smooth, hard public high
ways of easy grade.
Some of our American States have
already awakened'to the Importance Of
road construction, especially Mass
achusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and
| New York, the latter State having re-
