MACADAM WILL NOT WITHSTAND
WEARING OF AUTOMOBILE
TIRES AND DUST BECOMES A
SOURCE OF ANNOYANCE.

The last few years have seen a very
radical change in the general attitude
toward the building of good roads.
The advent Of the automobile, the
rapid increase in its popularity, the
campaign by the National Grange as
ISOLATION, the efforts of various auto
mobile associations and other bodies
have brought the matter of good roads
to the general attention and the eff
feet has been to cause an extended
effort to provide good roads in many
states with appropriations from state
and counties for this purpose.
There is little need to reiterate the
economic necessity for good roads, as
the reasons for this have been stated
many times very fully. 1t is suffi-
cient to know that the cost per mile
OF haulage alone for the roads in the
United States is vastly greater than
in France. This is the tax which the
people of this country pay for bad
roads. Only a very small proportion
of the roads are at the present i'm
proved, and very large proportion
of the improved roads are not built
in such a manner as to properly with
stand the traffic.
The building of good roads in such
a manner as to resist the wear and
tear in the proper fashion has become
complicated by the increasing use of
the automobile as q means of travel.
dc yxyHf ot1 vr-it hcto tho al
fic for years. and even for centuries
with little expense as to maintenance
have rapidly gone to pieces under the
deteriorating effect of the high speed
heavy automobile traffic.
The shearing effect of this traffic
upon the surface of the road, throwing
the small particles of stone out of the
road to be blown away as dust and
| leaving the larger stone loose and cas-
| lily displaced, has made it impossible
to construct macadam road which
will stand for more than one or two
years without requiring an entire re
surfacing.
AS this is the case it is obvious that
the building of macadam roads, dirt
roads or roads similarly constructed
which have no continued resistance
against the high speed automobile
traffic, will have to be discontinued OF
changed to a sufficient extent to form
a surface which will withstand the
shearing and suction effect without
giving way in such a short time un
der the strain.
| The dust evil which arises from the
throwing up of the small particle:
forming the binder on a macadan
road is naturally most prominent il
the mind Of the general public, but t.
the road engineer this evil is over
Swallowed by the loss of the small
stone.

warning against unclean conditions,

Could criminal escape through the
sewers of Richmond, Jean Vatican
Hugo's hero in Les Miserables." es-
capped through the sewers of Paris.
One fact would have to be ac-
copied, and the other is fiction: but
to the imaginative mind performance
of such a feat here in the Quaker City
may not mean such a far cry when
the construction and size of the great
drains" are considered. Speculative
interest in the possibility of such an
escape becomes a bit more plausible
when one reads the account below of
an imaginative robbery and escape
through the city's sewers. The great
sewers. along the sides OF which run
footpaths we'll above the water when
the flow is normal, may be reached
through the manholes in the streets.
The burglar hero OF this under
ground fancy, is pursued by the police

down and encounters further advent
ures while attempting to make his way
under the sleeping city to the river.
Difficult in Richmond.
The difficulty of such an undertake
ing will be seen at a glance in view Of
the fact that most of the sewers OF the
city are barely large enough to crawl
through. However. it is believed that
John Locke, who made two notorious
escapes from the county Jail, would
find no great difficulty in accomplish
ing his mission successfully if no other
avenue of escape were open to him.
The man who may best elude the
detectives by taking to the tunnels be

man who had worked along the lines.
Imagine the possibilities OF gang OF
Italian laborers, members OF any of
the so-called BLACK Hand" orders, the
Malta or the Camorra. who might pur-
posely get employment with pick and
shovel digging in the streets and lay

La Crosse, Wis, Oct. 29.-Old Cherry,
a COW belonging to Peter Eggler, Of
Mormon Coulee never knew she was to
be a villainess in real love story, but
that is what force of circumstances
made her. This is how.
William Miller farm hand employ
ed near Greenfield, fell madly in love
with a neighbor's daughter, Miss Alma
Will, and, as it was his sweethearts s
mandate that he have $50 saved up
before she would marry him, Miller.
anxious to hasten his marriage, took
rapid means to make the fortune.
Peter Eggler had a fine bunch of
COWS and Old Cherry was the finest of
the lot. Miller had saved up $40
and he knew he could get the other $40
by the sale of Old Cherry, so one night
last week he entered the pasture where
the cows were chewing their cuds, and.
selecting the finest of the bunch, drove
her to Lacrosse. where he sold her for
the necessary $40.
1t was while being driven away thai
Old Cherry showed what a villainess

and grunted all the way to La Crosse,

death, and the neighbors along the

route told Eggler OF this next day
when the hunt for the bovine began
1t was easy to trace the COW to La
Crosse and find the butcher to whom
she had been sold.
In the meantime. Miller had returned
to Greenfield with his $3.50 intact. and
arrangements for the wedding immedi-
ately were made. The unexpected in
crease in his fortune by $40 surprised
his sweetheart and her people, but no
questions were asked and every prepa-
ration was made for the wedding. A
day before the event was to be held,
however, officers, furnished by the La
Crosse butcher with a description Of
the man who had sold him the COW,
came out to take a look at Miller. One
look was enough. and the near-groom
was taken into custody. Shortly after
he confessed to the theft and was sen
fenced to a years imprisonment at
Waupun.
If Old Cherry had only gone to her
death with her mouth shut, Miller be-
lieves he could have escaped detection
until he could have saved enough mon
ey to have paid Eggler and all would
have been we'll. Miss Will, the disap-
pointed sweetheart. is prostrated with
grief, and fears are felt for her sanity.

"Paid In Full"

Gennett on Thursday, November 4, is
a romance extending through a second
generation on one side. 1t began in
matinee affair that reversed the
popular belief as to the way sucn
things go. Instead of a girl in the
audience falling in love with an actor
on the stage, the actor in the audience
fell in love with a woman on the
stage-only he wasn't an actor then,
only kid. 1t was at the old Globe
theater in Boston. The play was the

was taken to see performance. A

Fritz lost his heart to her. He had
eyes for nobody else the rest of the
afternoon. At the end of the play he
went back to his mother in her dress
ing room and confided to her that he
was hopelessly infatuated with a
member of the company. the lady
with the lovely hair" He asked to be
presented to her. He was introduced
to Miss Katherine Rogers. She had
produced on the boy an impression
common to his sex in that day. for she
was greatly admired and her hair was
a crowning glory.
With the ready address of an adept.
Master Fritz Immediately told Miss
Rogers of his admiration, and that
night, in bed, when a realization of
