Favor Stone Roads.

Members of the State Road Com.
mission, who devoted three days &c
an inspection Of hard roads in Mas
saChusetts, Rhode Island, New
York and New Jersey, returned to
Baltimore says the Baltimore Amer
lean. They had spent one day in
an inspection of the roads in South
New Jersey. which have been made
temporarily hard, smooth and dust
less by the use of crude oil, tar and
other materials.
The Road Commissioners, or at
least Messrs. Tucker, Hutton,
Shoemaker and DR.. Clark and En-
gineer Crosby, while enamored Of
the experimental use of oil and tar
on the sandy roads i'll Massachusetts
Rhode Island and New Jersey, are
convinced that a great saving can
be made in the future through the
construction of roads of crushed
stone. In brief they have not been
satisfied that the tar and oil treated
roads of the North have had time
in which to demonstrate their dur
ability. The Maryland road build
ers are not willing to put the State
to the expense of experiments.
They believe they have saved
thousands of dollars by inspecting
experiments and by arriving at the
conclusion that these experiments
can be "cut out.
Among the roads inspected were
several stretches i'll the construc-
ton of which shells were used
These were beautiful and artistic
roads. The commissioners are not
however thoroughly convinced that
shells are permanent materials for
roads. On the Eastern Shore the
life of these is about seven years. |
There is a big temptation, however
to, use shells in road construction
on the Eastern Shore. At Girls
field and other points on the lower
shore are large Accommodations of
oyster shells which can be bought
for three to FIVE cents a bushel AT
this cost a shell road could be CON
structed from 81, 500 to $500 per
mile.
Eastern Shoremen, however, pre-
fer the crushed stone road, because
they believe that it will be cheaper /
ia the long run. They don't like
he idea Of cost Of repairs, which is
luout 5000 per mile per year for I
,hell roads. In Wicomico county,
or instance three or four miles of t
itone roads are being built at a q
.ost of 81, 900 per mile. Oyster c
hells have been relegated TO the v
ear, because as experiments they i
lave not been successful. q

To Curb Cocaine Curse.

New York, May Goth Calling
upon Congress for a form Of tariff
protection that will guard all Ameri-
: can homes from the ravages of the
cocaine habit, thousands of medical
men, philanthropic workers and the
principal drug houses in this city
are to-day supporting the recon-
mendation of the American Health
League for Federal control of the
deadly drug. Only by placing a
prohibitory duty upon the foreign
cocaine with which the illegal dis
tributors are now supplied in def
ance all Stale laws can the growth
of drug dives throughout the
country be checked, the leaders of
the movement declare. From every
section ofthe land reports have been
received today that the people are
ready to demand of their represen-
tatives in Washington this relief
from the vice aud crime that is
spreading unchecked with the free
supply of cocaine from abroad.
Only fifty per cent of all the CO.
Caine consumed in the United States
last year was devoted to legitimate
uses, experts are prepared to show
Congress, while the other half of
the total sales of this drug was
covertly supplied to the dens of the
dope 6end which are rapidly in
creasing. While the American
manufacturers and wholesalers are
refusing to pander to the increas- |
ing demands of the illicit cocaine |
and can be held ac-
countable by State and local autho-
rites for their sales, absolutely no |
hold can be taken on the under
ground supply of the drug from
abroad, it is shown. Coca leaves
from which the drug victims may
extract a form of cocaine with which
10 meet their craving are now free
Of duty and easily available, it is
also pointed out.
Backed by philanthropic organi-
cations and individuals throughout
The country, the leaders of this
have already presented
10 the finance committee of the
Senate at Washington the peoples
,laims for protection against the
nroads of the cocaine curse. A pro-
tariff of $3.50 an ounce
III the foreign supply of the drugf
5 being urged as we'll as a duty of
i've cents a pound on the coca
caves, which will give Uncle Sam
/ hold upon their distribution. 1t
5 also proposed to place an internal
evenue tax upon this drug and to
equire its manufacturers to be
'Onded and licensed by the govern
nent. The placing of a special
evenue stamp on every package of
# cocaine, with the record required 7
o be kept of its quantity and pur- i
haser, the authorities declare, will \
esult in the speedy restriction of \
he illegal traffic in the drug. n
That the Senate leaders have up
, this time refused to consider n
heir claims, on the ground that :
ley were mot concerned with the
lie nations morals" was asserted +
oday by leaders Of this crusade f

lie people of every part of the q
