Help For Their Old Home Town.

There are several groups Of country
born big business men In New YORK
who have formed country clubs to
meet once year. talk over old times
in the towns and villages they came
from and the good or betterment of
the old home place. Among these are
men like Hon. Seth Low, James &.
Cannon and Commodore WadhamS. At
an annual dinner Mr.. Cannon made
the suggestion that they could do
nothing better than to get back of a
Young Mems Christian association
work in his county (Grcene), and 1t
was done Mr.. Cannon told Mr.. Low
about il. and now his county West
chester has come into line, with
secretary on the field, whose head
quarters will be at White Plains.
Commodore Wadhams heard of it and
asked what it would cost. He was
told $500. go ahead; it is done. |
will look after the money for my
county" Here Is an idea for every big
city where the country boys have
grown up to be the city's leaders. The
good work that was begun last year
at county fairs in supplanting horse
racing and gambling by the introduc-
ton of clean athletics and control of
the sports by the county associations
has been kept up In the country east
and west with increasing results.

HIGHWAYS OF BRICK.
Method For Constructing a Road

GRADING IMPORTANT FACTOR

construction of brick highways w. l..
Blair said: \ brick highway to be en-
tirely satisfactory must be entirely
free from dcpresSionS, every part con-
forming to the grade. This result
must be anticipated in the preparation
estimated depth of two inches and
these dcpreSSions avoided by the use
Of a hand roller weighing from 800 to

rolled and screeded again Mt least
three times. At the last Screeding it
will be found that the unComprcSScl
sand will not be over one-quarter inch

1t is certain also that in ironing out

very little sand will be pushed into
the intcrstices by the final rolling.
The brick should be dropped in
straight lines upon the sand cushion,
with the best edge of the brick upper
most. Economy for the contractor
would require that the brick be
brought to and deposited within reach
of the person who actually lays the
brick in a way that will accommodate
his method of dropping them in place,
insuring the best edge uppermost. But
previous to dropping the brick i'll the

should not he less than one inch, one
and one-Quarter inches for a thirty foot
street and one and one-half inches for
n width exceeding thirty feet. This
board should be placed next to the
curb, worked slightly into the sand
cushion before the brick are laid and
remain until the street is finished In
all other respects, after which it should
be removed within twenty-fOur hours
following the application of the ce-
ment filler.
After the brick are dropped into the
street the surface should be swept,
precautiOn heretofore exercised that
no brick go into the street which are
dirty, or, after in, that they are not
made so by use, as 1t Is impossible
for the cement filler to adhere to
dirty surfacing. After the sweeping
thorough rolling must take place by
the use of roller not weighing over
five tons.
The filler shall be composed of one
part each of clean, sharp sand and
portland cement The sand should be
dry. The mixture, not exceeding one
third buShel of the sand, together
with like amount of cement, shall
be placed in the box and mixed dry
until the mass assumes an even and
unbrokcn shade. Then water shall be
added, forming a liquid mixture of the
consistency of thin cream.
From the time the water is applied
until the last drop is removed and
hoated into the joints Of the brick
pavement the mixture must be kept
In constant motion.
To avoid the possibility Of thicken-
ing at any point there should be a
man with sprinkling can, the head
perforated with small holes, sprinkling
the surface ahead Of the sweepers.
Within ne-half to three quarters OF
an hour after this last coat is applied
and the grout between the joints has
fully subsidized and the initial set is
taking place the whole surface must
be slightly sprinkled and all surplus
mixture left on the tops of the brick
swept into the joints.
After the joints are thus filled flush
with the top OF the brick and sufficient
time for hardening has elapsed, so
that the coating of sand will not abb
sorb any moisture from the cement
mixture, one-half inch of sand shall
be spread over the whole surface, and
in case the work Is subjected to a
hot summer sun an occasional sprin-
king, sufficient to dnmpen the sand,
should be followed for two or three
days.
The last steps upon which depend
the highest possibilities of the brick
street are the proper rolling of the
brick after they are in the street and
the ironing out of any slight depres-
Nons found to exist.

SECTION Or WHEAT KERNEL

tention to these points, breadmakinS
is really very simple process. With
out this knowledge or attention there
will ever be mystery and uncertainty
about 1t, and there will always be In
different results.
There are only four ingredients abb
solutely necessary for the making of
loaf OF raised wheat bread They
are good bread -four. fresh yeast.
liQuid-either milk or water-and salt.
Other ingredients are often used. but
they are not necessary. For instance,
shortening Is sometimes added. This
makes richer loaf Sugar. too, may be
used in small quantity. This hastens
the growth of the yeast plants. Potato
water occasionally replaces the milk
or water and makes moist loaf, while
potatoes and hop water form mixture
in which the yeast colonies are quickly
started. But good bread can be made
without the addition of any of these
things.
Flour Used In Breadmakne.
In order that we may have we'll
raised light loaf 1t is necessary to use
a -four containing large per cent of
gluten. This IS the -four made from
the so called hard" wheats. Such
-four has less water than the -four
made from the soft" wheat, therefore,
mixed with a liquid, gives a larger
loaf. Gluten is grayish, rubber-like
substance found In -four after the
starch has been washed out. 1t Is the

full of wheat, az known by most people
who have spent their childhood in the
country This very character OF glu-
ten makes It accessory In breakmak
ing. 1t stretches and stretches, form
ing little pockets in which the gas is
retained in the loaf until 1t Is baked.
The heat of the oven hardens the glu-
ten quickly before 1t has had time to
relax, and so the loaf keeps its puffed
shape.
Good bread -four should be white,

and reproduces itself gives it much of
Its Importance. 1t reproduces either
by sending out buds which break off
as new plants or by forming spores
which will grow into new plants under
favorable conditions.
Like all plants, yeast requires heat.
moisture and food In order to grow.
The degree of heat at which it grows
best is from 75 to 90 degrees, and this
Is the temperature at which bread
should be kept throughout the process
Of making. If it were not for the liq-
uid used in breadmaking the yeast
would not have sufficient moisture and
would not grow any more than 1t does
ia the dry cake.
The food of the yeast plant is sugar.
