Get EXPERT Advice.

One or two bits of counsel in re-
gard to good roads building cannot
be too often emphasized In the first
place, never proceed without expert
advice. In some sections of the South
the movement for better highways
has been set back a full generation
because of ignorance and consequent
wastefulness in the use of road funds.
Get your State Highway Commission
er, your State Geologist, or some Off
cial of your State Department of Agri-
culture, to advise you as to what sort
of road improvement policy you
should advocate. Many counties are
too poor to build macadam roads as
yet, especially where stone for macad-
amizing must be brought a great dis
lance. In such places the merits and
applicability of the sand-clay system
should be considered. 1t is much less
expensive than macadam, and in hun
dreds of counties in the South is the
best system that can be adopted. And
on all clay roads, the split-log drag
should be regularly used-Progres-
sive Farmer.

Bells Instead of Horns.

A Chicago citizen who has evident
ly been scared frequently by the loud
"honk" of automobile horns as he
scudded across streets, has written to
the Tribune to suggest that automo-
biles be made to carry-sleigh bells, the
same as horses are required to wear
in sleighing time" This, he thinks,
would give continual warning to Pc
destrians. He adds. by way of
clinching his plan and commencing it
to motorists: Riding would be more
enjoyable accompanied by a nice
toned set of bells. There would no
doubt be quite strife among manu-
faeturers to see who could turn out
the finest toned machine as selling
point. New York Tribune.
