MATERIAL FOR ROADS.

nj EW Jersey is one Of the foremost States
i'll the consideration OF good roads as much
has been done in that State to improve the high
ways There are, however many vexatious fac
tors in the problem. What suitable roads
to withstand ordinary vehicuar traffic it seems
fail to resist the wear and tear of automobiles.
State Road Commissioner Gilkynson, OF New
Jersey, believes that he has solved this prob
lem and the further Construction of new roads
in New Jersey will probably be held up until
the experiments are fully made by the COM
missioner
Mr. Gilkynson is experimenting with various
schemes of road improvement and hopes to ind
paving suitable to bear the heavy motor travel
II is pointed out that it would be folly to spend
large sums for ordinary road improvement that
will not resist automobile traffic especially when
the new experiments may overcome the oDJec-
tons to the material now used for road pur-
poses. 49,,
Indeed. after decision to improve the high
WAYS has been made the real work has but Just
begun. For instance should Sussex county de-
eide 70 issue bonds for road improvement or
should the State decide on a general state I'M
provement of roads, the material to be used ana
the best plan to be adopted would be most per
picking problem.
In view of the New Jersey experience that her
present roads cannot resist the travel OF motor
cars road improvement in other communities WIN
proceed with caution. The automobile has come
20 stav. II will be used increasingly and roads
will have to be built that will Withstand these
ears in satisfactory manner.

Protect the Poor Robins.


Protect the Poor Robins.
Boston Transcript.
Edward H. Forbush. New England agent
for the National Association Of Audubon
Societies, makes plea for the protection
of the robin and presents some startling
statistics Of the peril In which that early
and friendly visitor stands. Considerable
has been said in depreciation OF the slaugh-
ter of a million robins in a single season
in the South. especially in Louisiana. but
that State has risen to its responsibility
and passed laws that II enforced will pre-
vent occurrences of such destruction of
bird life.
But Mr.. Forbush points out that condl-
tions in the North have been as bad as in
the South. or perhaps even worse. because
the territory is larger. He says the people
who come here from eastern and southern
Europe are largely bird killers and they
pursue their, quarry by shooting, trapping
and netting birds TO eat and for millinery
purposes. AL is game that comes in their
way-roblns. meadow larks, sparrows,
thrushes, swallows. bluebirds and cuck-

Perhaps the best way of dealing with the pro-
posed State trolley project is the bill to appoint
a commission to inquire into the matter, the
commission to have authority to invest 100000 Of
the States funds in the proposed trolley line
should any feasible plan be adopted. This is a
subject that will require ver- serious consdera-
ton. The bill that Mr. Hopkins gave notice
OF names the Governor as a member OF the COM
mission, the Governor to appoint the remaining
members Governor Pennewill would name on
such a commission men who would give the mat

LOCAL OPTION ELECTIONS.

& ENATOR DREXLER'S plan for elections
~ on the prohibition question at intervals Of
some years will strike most people as good. AT
the local option election the entire State was up

experience do not care to repeat it soon. Since
that contest there has been a constant agitation
OF the question. In every election it has figured
and it comes up on every occasion. Even in
city elections the wet or dry subject is to
be brought to the front and under the present
way OF dealing with it there is to be no rest
Other problems are subordinated and will be-
so long as the active workers for prohibition
have their say. Such a situation will become in

The only way that let up can be brought
about is by following some such plan as that

elections and let that be clearly understood
The time need not necessarily be that mentioned
in the Drexer bill. The election could be held
at a special or general election. Such points are
unimportant as compared with the central idea
of the bill, which is to do something to relieve
the State of a constant agitation of one ques-

COCO Women In MiIford.

Milford Chronicle.
The women of this town have labored
earnestly and long in an endeavor to
maintain truth and sobriety in the
home. teaching their sons and daugh-
tiers that these are cardinal virtues,
and are to be priced far greater than
rubies. They have recognized the fact
that hOme-life is the foundation of all
life, and that municipal, State and ma
tional existence is pure only as the
home-life is pure. The women of this
town have been the silent force. the
under-current, that has been working
so effectively through the years, the
result of which has meant the ushering
in Of social conditions that are ex-
tremely wholesome.
