NATIONAL ROADS
Superiority of French Highways Due
 to Government System.

A recent official report from Consul General R. P. skinner of Marseilles, France, gives some highly important information regarding the public roads of that country. As is generally known France has the best and most com plete road system in the world, and its splendid public highways fill with envy and admiration all foreigners. particularly those from the United States, where the roads in general are about the worst in any country pro fessing to be civilized.
 The superiority of the French road system is stated by Consult General Skinner to be dbe 9o.the fact that the construction and maintenance of the principal roads. is carried on under the supervision of a corps of experts in road construction who find in their profession opportunities for advance ment and distinction such as could not and does not exist under a local road administration. French roads are good not because of any superiority of road making material, nor because these people possess any special talent for road building, but because the initia tive in matters pertaining to the public highways is taken by highly-trained engineers and administrators, under the direction of the National Govern ment.
 All the principal French highways, or national routes" of which there are 23,656 miles, are constructed and maintained by the National Govern ment, which has expended on them over S3OO0O0OO0. The superiority of these roads over those constructed or maintained by the local authorities is very marked, but-even the local roads are kept in good condition, SO that the standard French road is. one upon which in a rolling country draft horse hauling load of $500 pounds is expected to travel about 20 miles per day. This fact alone will serve to indicate the difference between the roads in France and those of this country; where the load hauled by one horse over the average level country road is only 1,400 pounds, and on the roads with per cent grades only 1000 pounds
 The basis of the French highway system is the School of Bridges and Roads, one of the finest technical col leges in the world, where engineers are trained for positions in the public road administrative system. These engineers cooperate with the local authorities, and the result is that there is available for the work of road construction an effective body of com petent administrators, whose influence extends throughout the whole country.
 A beginning has been made in a small way in this country by the Bu-I reau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture, to Introduce the methods by which the French road system has been so satis- factorily developed. The organization of this Bureau, and funds at it's dis posal, are, however, wholly made quate.

GOOD HoRsEmANsHIP.
Wh5e Is Meant by "Hands"-Tha
Sloan Racing Seat.

Your heart and your head keep up,
Your hands and your heels keep
down,
Your knees close TO your horses
sides,
And your elbows to your own.
This old bit of advice for the would
be horseman is quoted by the writer
in Baiy's Magazine and declared to
be perennially sound
He quotes another old hunter on
the subject of what he calls the divine
gift of hands" in riding. This old
hunter. John Darby, used to attach
two pieces of Irvine to the hack of an
ordinary chair and draw the same
tighter until the chair balanced on its
fore or hind legs, according to his own
position.
Then when balanced he wo Id keep
it. so TO speak, on the swing by
gently manipulating the Irvine or
reins he held in his hand A rough
pull would, of course, have upset the
chair one way, whereas the fact of
not checking it in its movements at
all would have caused total loss of
control over it on the opposite direc-
ton.
And that" when the exhibition
was concluded, he would add, lis

horse, its owner fully equipped, throw
ing its head up and down like pump
handle; another sweating profusely,
although the pace has not exceeded
five miles an hour since it left the
stable, and third snortinc and
prancing about all over the place"
Why is this so? Simply because The
rider of neither of them is possessed
with the divine spirit of hands.
He also pays his respects to the
hideous American monkey on a stick
seat and sarca tically demands why,
if it really is such an advantage in
racing, those in authority do not
place penalty of say 81 on each
rider adopting it to encourage others
to still ride as horsemen with an
equal chance of success? How our
grandsires would laugh if they could
only take a look at our illustrated
sporting newspapers of today.
