CONVICT LABOR ON ROADS


we used convict labor for road
work in our state and the results
prove that this is a wise employment
Of the convict's time. Wagon roads
or automobile roads should always be
constructed with regard to the nature
Of the country through which they
pass. We began our studies with a
geological survey. In the state OF
Washington, aside from the standard
macadam material, we use a great
amount of asphalt, too, and in Seattle
I can show you streets which were as
phalted seven years ago and now dis
close not even a crack on the surface" "
When Mr. Hill was asked for his
opinion on the utility of tar or of
compounds as dust preventatives, he
replied. Don't try to make good road
by beginning at the top. You must
begin at the bottom, just as in build
ing a house. The macadam method is
as good as any if properly used "A
tight roof over dry cellar is a good
maxim to follow in road making"
One of the leading delegates from
Paris said:
IF the main roads of France were
treated with tar it would be a national
misfortune For automobiles alone, not
to speak Of other vehicles, I know no
form of anti-skidding device that will
hold on a tar surface. The more l look
into the question of the use of tar foI
roads the more am I convinced that
il is no solution of the dust question
and that the sooner the authorities
take proper construction of roads into
consideration the better it will be fol
automobilists as well as for the general
public"

It certainly has q suspicious air to
see. standing in front of the doors OF
certain pawn shops of the better class,
smart equipa ges and automobiles, as
one does at present. but In such cases
appearances" surely are "deceiving,"
for the sight means nothing more than
that wealthy Parisians are commencing
to return from the country. Many per-
sons on leaving town for the season at
seaside or mountain resorts are unwill-
ing TO leave their silver and similar
valuables in their houses or apart
ments, and even more so to take them
with them, fearing theft or loss by
some other means. Therefore, on leav-
ing town for the summer, they simply
pawn them for a nominal amount, be-
ing absolutely sure that they will be
well cared for and thoroughly safe
garded during their absence.
Nevertheless some wag has sug-
gested that the reason here given is
not the only one, sometimes, in the
case of women, a scarcity sof cash be-
ing the object of the call at their
uncle in order that money may be
available with which to purchase
larger hats than they are then wearing
and also be enabled to hazard more at
baccarat at the fashionable casinos at
the resorts they may visit. A CONVEX
sation overheard at a fashionable dress
makers the other day was as follows:
well, my dear, L must be trotting
along. I must go TO my 'uncle's' to
get my pearl collar for the bali to-
night: I have not had a moments time
