Narrow ESCAPE fron, Drowning

DR.. w. r. Mann had a narrow escape
from drowning yesterday while attempt
ing to ford Village creek near No.
slope. The doctor started across the
creek on his way to a patients house
and misjudging the swiftness of the cur
rent his buggy was overturned in the
middle of the stream. He was thrown
out and compelled to swim to the bank.
The top of the buggy was carried away
by the force of the stream and though
the horse was carried some distance
down the creek he managed to swim to
the bank dragging the wrecked buggy al
ter him. DR.. Mann caught the horse
and drove him to the city. That they
both were not drowned is remarkable as
the creek at that point is deep and
much swollen from recent rains.

Good Roads. &
Pope on Good Roads.

x

The good roads movement AWAY
has attracted the favorable attention
Of automobile manufacturers, both In
dividually and collectively, and in his
annual report Albert L. Pope, retfr-
Ing president Of the National Assoc
citation OF Automobile Manufacturers,
commented on the subbct as follows:
..Rrief intfmation has been given
toeyou IN earlier reports OF the work
performed by your committee on
highway improvement. The most
satisfactory results have been OBJ
tanned. The COMMITTEES has been
working quietly for tnyee years.
studying the good roads movement
throughout the country, with the
Idea OF making sure In which direc-
ton it could best expend Its efforts.
Analysis has shCxn that most OF the
good roads organizations have only
been able to accomplish good locally.
and that there is to-day no repcesen-
tative national good roads movem ent
including ell industries and indiviG-
Uals DESTROYS of better highways.
With this idea in view, this past shr1-
mer has been spent in gathering to-
gether the larger industrial interests
who could be counted on for financial
support in this movement and in the
p~arfecting of an organization that
might really accomplish something
in a tangible way.
Just at the moment the plans OF
the committee are eliminating in a
long hoped for combination Of inter-
ests, which will be absolutely national
In It's representation and will un-
doubtedly be heard from in every
State within the next three months.
The committee points with pride to
the fact that it has had an appropria-
ton at its disposal for some two years
past to further this work Of organi-
cation, but has not utilized il, owing
to It's desire to spend no money until
1t was sure OF the proper policy to
pursue. and now has this policy so
we'll outlined that within the next
few months rapid progress will I'M
doubtedly be made. Active work is
now under way, and the last appro-
priation Of $4,000, made by the asso-
citation some months ago, will be util-
ICED for this preliminary work, tn con-
junction with like appropriations Of
the Association Of Licensed Autono-
bile Manufacturers and the American
Motor Car Manufacturers Associa-
ton, and the donations Of Individual
manufacturers, most OF whom have
signifed their intention to contribute
literally. We believe that at last the
automobile interests have identified
themselves with the good roads move
ment in such a way that direct benefit
will bs derived, not within ten years,
but within the next two years.

Road Construction.

We are told all about making ma
:adam roads in the latest bulletin OF
the Office of Public Roads, Depart
ment of Agriculture. The work gives
in detail the best practice in macad-
am road construction. and especially
that followed by the Massachusetts
highway commission. 1t may not be
so generally known at this time that
the word macadam is derived from
John L. Macadam, a Scotch engineer,
who in the early part of the last cen
fury invented the process of road
making which bears his name. 81
The macadam type of road surfac-
ing is connecting centres of popula-
ton, on which there is a moderate
amount of travel. 1t is not an eco
nomical form of pavement for the
main streets of cities or large towns,
and it is usually too expensive for
country roads other than the main
ways. 1t resembles closely the gravel
road. When the road built of gravel
is not quite sufficient 20 resist sue
cessfully the wear and tear Of the
traffic over it, macadam surfacing
may usually be, substituted for the
gravel with satisfactory results.
The bulletin states that, singularly
enough, at the present time the worst
foe OF the macadam road is, perhaps,
its most ardent advocate-the motor
vehicle. The steel wheels of the or
binary vehicle grind off sufficient
powder from the stones to serve as a
binder, replacing the binding mate
rial blown away by the wind or
washed off by rains. But the swiftly
moving motor car Of the present day
has introduced a new problem into
road maintenance. The large rubber
tires on wheels Of small diameter ap-
pear to exert a suction on the binder
CT the road. The vacuum caused by
tie vehicle moving rapidly over the
road lifts the dust into the air in
clouds, and it is blown away into the
fields. Various substances arc being
experimental with. for application to
road surfaces to lessen or obviate
this evil. Coal tar and oils with an
asphaltlc base seem to give the best
results. In France tar has been used
for several years, It is said, most 1at
tsfactorily.-NeW York World.
