PRAISE FOR SPECULATION.
Cornell Professor Says it Is a Species
 of Insurance.


 E. W. Kemmerer, a Cornell profess or of economies. in speaking of stock exchanges the other night at Ithaca. \. Y.. said:
 Exchanges are big insurance com panies in which every member of so- ciety is member and the spectators are the managers. They assume great risks. and their position requires abil- ity, and therefore society must pay them highly. Although there is un- doubtedly evil in dishonest manipula- tion, it is more than overbalanced by the good which speculation brings to society in the form of this insurance. ''In obtaining advance information as to the condition of crops and the political conditions. the spectators are able to keep prices firm and to pre- vent sudden fluctuations and thereby are insuring society against a sudden drop or swift changes"

was practically instantaneous
While there We're no eye witnesses
to the tragedy evidently it was en-
tircly accidental. Mr.. Watterson's

Presumably he had attempted to lower

Washington Letter

Washington, April 20. In order
to reach satisfactory agreement in
regard to the proposed prohibition of
grazing on the banks of streams
supplying the various irrigation
systems in the west joint investi-
cation will be conducted by the de-
partment is of the interior and agri-
culture. The irrigators and Off
Gals of the reclamation service de-
sire to restrict grazing on the
watersheds which affect the irriga-
tion of farm lands, while the stock
men have vigorously opposed such
restriction.
In discussing the matter Secre-
tary Wilson said:
"The protection of the water
sheds and streams supplying irri-
cation reservoirs depends primarily
upon the possibility of giving full
protec' ion TO all areas where graz
log is allowed. The fewer forest
officials there are to attend to the
grazing business on the national
forests, the more land will have to
be closed to grazing. Past expert
ence has proven that stock can be

and farmers complained that the
ever-incressing dust on their fields,
vines and trees made it impossible
for them to sci their harvests at
as good prices as formerly.
When these conditions had been
established by scientifically
gathered data the director of the
office of Public Roads set on foot
numerous Investigations and or
dered many experiments; the result
of which, it is believed, will ulti-
mately prove the automobile to be a
great benefactor, for gin the
struggle to overcome the condi-
tions created highway commission
ers must do one of two things;
find road surfacing material
which makes no dust and needs no
dust to maintain it's integrity, or
discover a method of controlling
the dust on the roads already laid.
When that is done one of the
s
will have been solved and humanity
will have gained one of the greatest
blessings imaginable. Absolutely
dust-pr7of thouogfares would add
immensely to the comforts of the
human race: multiply the beauty
of vast stretches of country add
countless millions of wealth to sub
urban and country property and do
much to retard disease, for dirt
means disease and the 2,150, 900
miles of highways in the United
States make not less than go per
cent of the dust which long-suf-
fering people take in to their lungs
each year.
To the time of the present writ
ing no dust-pr oof road surface
material cheap enough for use in
country districts has been found,
and the experiments now proceed
ing are therefore along the second
line, the controlling of the dust by
N1i AOdo AhOiilOQo VI oPA az LIS 49, -
the use of binder materials. In
some sections, especially through
the great fruit belts of California,
splen d success in dust suppression
has n attained by spraying the
dirt ld with oils possessing as
phaltic bases. In other portions of
the country the wise administering
of coal t.. -crations has aided to
great extent, :. : ruching with
calcium chloride has shown that the
dust can be kept at minimum.
These methods, however, are not
perfect solutions of the vast problem
of road maintainan and dust sup
preston. They are merely pallia-
tives, and while they are being ad-

The macadam road, named after
John Louden Macadsm of Ayr,
Scotland, who was for many years
highway surveyor of Bristol, was
first laid down by the eminent
French road engineer Tresauget of
Limoges, who wisely figure that
slowly moving iron-tired wagons
would crush dust PARTICLES from the
stones of the roads surface; tat
those PARTICLES would be constant
ly sift between the intestices OF
the large stones; that every psss
ing wagon would crush them firm
er into all ruts and inequalities !;
that trains would aid and the I'LL
innate result would be smooth
surface, water shedding highway.
Tresaughet planned wisely I;
Macadam came two decades later
and made slight change in laying
the road foundation and gave 10
such thoroughfares his name. For
a century and quarter the wisdom
of the road engineers of Limoges
and Ayr was justified. Then arose
a condition they had never figured
on; fast moving vehicle running
on broad soft tires. The roads be-
gan to suffer at once for the follow
ing reasons; The rubber tire, being
soft, creates no rock dust itself as
does the iron tire of wagon nd
the very life of these roads de-
mands a constant supply of that
material. 1t is the surface binder
that that keeps the road smooth !;
cracks filled in; that maintains
the evenuess and binds the rule
stones into in one impervious mass.
Every iron-tired wheel does its own
small quota of good by acting as a
rock dust maker and a miniature
road roller. The auto whirling
along at dizzy speed simply flat
tened its tires against the ground
as it sped and the tractive force so
exerted hurled precious rock ist
into the air and from there il as
swept 10 the adjacent farms nd
lawns in binding clouds. So o.
nounced was the mere dust is
ance created in many portions he
country that real estate decreased
in value to an appreciable extern

AUTOMOBILE ARE DE-
STROYING GOOD ROADS
Soft Rubber Tires Strip Hard Surface
Highways OF the Rock Dust binder.

The office of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has recently been conduct
ing series OF very interesting ex-
damage done to the rock surface Of
thoroughfares by automobiles. The
results prove that the modern fast
moving motor car is the greatest
menace to nacadam roads that has
ever made its appearance.
On some stretches of thorough
fare, especially in New Eng land,
where many broad, smooth roads
have been constructed, the retro
gression is not less than 40 per cent
an it has teen forced upon the di-
rector of the office of Public Roads
and upon many highway engineers
that if some plan is not speedily de-
vis-d for overcoming the bad effect
mems latest and most sensational
mode of land raIsportation, the
monetary loss will be stupendous
and the good work of many years
will go fer naught.
1t is not only in America that
this condition prevails. The men
of England, France, Germany,
Holland, Belgium and other coun-
tries of the old world where hard
surfaced highways are appreciated,
have also learned that the big, soft
rubber tires of the automobile are
doing an almost incredible amount
of harm. France has officially TAX
en- cognizaucc of the condition and
has called an international congress
to meet at Paris on October IL to
discuss plans for saving the roads,
while in no way interfering with
the development OF the automobile,
for no scientist will condemn one
worthy civilizing influence because
it temporarily conflicts with an
other. He will merely admit that a
new condition has arisen and then
set on foot an investigation with
the idea of mastering it.
To many it may seem beyond
belief that a pneumatic rubber tire
can work any injury TO road COM
posed of bits of crushed flint rock,
but it becomes plain when tie

vocated in such sections of the
country as will be Immediately
benefited, the bigger problem of
discovering the,absolute antidote for
the action of the automobile is oc-
cupying the attention of the scient-
lists on both sides of the Atlantic.
The solu tion of that problem may
be given at the big congress at
Paris in the fall, or it may be dis =
covered, before possibly on tn is
side of the western ocean; possibly
in the lands where good roads were
known when America was in it's
swaddliug clothes.

Do not expect a teacher to man
age without friction, a child whom
you have never been able to con-
troll.
Do not insist that the teacher is
keeping your child oack through
spite. She will hardly risk her
reputation as instructor to crafty
personal grudge, however disa-
greeable the child may be.
Do not forget that the parents
owe duty, to the teacher Just as
surely as the teacher owes duty

Plain Talk to Parents

A writer in the Sioux City
Journal gives some trenchant sug-
gestions to parents, from which we
quote:
Do not fail 10 make allowance
for slight exae operations when hear
ing of pranks in school.
Do not accuse the teacher OF fav-
oritism. If kinder one than
another it's because that one does
not take advantage of the liberty
allowed him. This is simple justice
Don't tell the teacher that Willie
will not lie. She may know better.
Do not condemn the teacher
without tdir hearing. That is
accorded even the worst criminal.
There are usually two sides to the
story.
Do not send a scathing note to
the teacher by Marguerite, the con-
tents of which she knows. Her ag-
gressive look is not soothing to the
teacher who is only human.
Do not make unfavorable COM
ments noon the methods of the
teacher in the presence of your
child. Send him to carry in wood
while you are Sc doing if it must be
done.
Do not expect the teacher to
understand Jimmie's disposition
the first day. You have studied it
for six years, and there are still
kinks that you have failed to
strengthen out.
Do not send ~bal request to
have Algerno seat changed
There is often no vacant seat, and
one change usually means at least
half dozen.
Do not forget that the teachers
interest in your CHI is personal.
She will do more to nelp him than
anyone except yourself.
