Manila, March 1O.-The strike of the
street-car men in this city, which was
declared March 4, has not spread beyond
the railway operatives as yet, though

since the strike began.

He used to write them letters and
then feel hurt when they could not
read them. When he wrote to persons
who were not familiar with his scrawl
they frequently would not know whom
the letters were from. Some time age
he introduced typewriter into his Of
nee, and this rendered the body Of the
letter Ineligible. but did not clear up
the difficulty over the signature. Now
however. says the Record, he has had
made rubber stamp bearing his
name and address in printing. He
signs his name in the usual scrawl
but alongside he impresses his stamp.

Oldest trade routes came into exist

One Of the Oldest roads IN Italy is the
Via Salaria, along which the people

salt from the salt pans Of Ostia. Salt

OPPOSE HIGH TARIFF.

Want Asphalt, Now Required to Pro-
Wear, Put Back on Free List.
Organizations and individuals work
ing for the good roads cause are now
centering their efforts against the at
tempt to secure higher duty on as
phalt. All the expert testimony laid
before the subcommittee on tariff re-
vision OF the ways and means com
mittee is In favor OF returning crude
asphalt to the free list and fixing the
duty on refined asphalt In accordance
with the difference In the cost of pro-
duction In the United States as COM
pared with the foreign product.
1t is polluted out that a higher duty
will amount simply TO increased taxa
ton for streets and roads, both on new
construction and maintenance.
Outside of the cities the opposition
to an increase In the tarlff on asphalt
is due to the fact that all the good
roads experts are agreed that the only
way In which durable highway can
be made that Will Withstand modern
motor traffic is TO use asphalt as a
cementing material to hold together
the surface of macadam roads. State
and county authorities understand this
fact thoroughly, as does the great or.
ganlzation OF farmers known as the
National grange, which takes very
active interest In road matters.
A strong effort is being made to
show congress that good as well as
cheap roads are a far more important
consideration than the protection Of
asphalt produced in the far west,
which cannot possibly benefit states
east of the Mississippi owing to the
great cost Of transportation across the
continent.
