Albuquerque, n. NJ, May l2.--The

 Four to three was the score. For a long time it was two to two. but at no period of the game was Phoe- nix ahead of Florence. Not until the last man had fouled out in the last half of the ninth inning, were the local boys out of the running.

The economic importance of good

ening territory. The movement for
state aid and state regulation OF roads
which began in a small way but few
years ago, has grown until there are
now 23 states in which some kind OF
measure of aid, or cooperation with
either towns, counties or individuals
is practiced by the state.
The Good Roads Magazine in its is
sue of February, 1908. published in it's
annual review of the road situation
a table which had been compiled by
the Office of Public Roads. which gave
the data concerning the roads of the
country for the year 1904. At that
time out of 2,151 900 miles of public
roads in the country $500 miles had
been surfaced with stone, los, 200
with special material, making the i'm
proved roads ia per cent. of the
total.
In the report of that office for 1908,
1t is estimated that the macadam
roads have increased IL 1-2 per cent.
making 43,45O miles; the gravel l5
per cent. to 1884, miles, the special
materials 25 per cent. to S,512 miles.
The average cost of macadam has
been estimated at $4,000 per mile,
gravel at $500 and other surfacing
material at $1,000.
There are about 1,975,000 miles of
earth road which it is estimated has
cost for grading. culverts, bridges.
ETC., about $500 per mile. The right
of way of these roads is worth. at
acreage valuation as given in the cen
sus reports, 100000, making a
total value of $1,720, ,5S9, 900 for all OF
| the roads of the country.
Experimental roads have been con.
! structed in various sections, for the
| purpose of determining what materials
and methods are most likely to meet
| the changed conditions of traffic
brought about by the high-speed auto
mobile. In several states exhaustive
experimentation has been going on
with different kinds of tar and asphalt
combinations for this purpose.

FOR THE BRIDES TABLE.
BY Miss Eunice Clarkson.

A beautiful conception for a bridal
table is a "Cupid's Road" A tiny
road the length of the table is made
to represent Cupid's driveway. This
path is made of rice bordered with
smilax and white roses. All along
the thoroughfare are placed bisque
Cupids, and at the end of the way is
a mixture bridal carriage decorated
with smilax and white roses, ali ready
for the bride and groom to drive away
in.
Have suspended from the chandelier
directly over the table a large bell
made of white roses and smilax, or
any flower which is used. Place a
white rose at each place and for name
cards use plain white ones decorated
in one corner with a water color or
outline sketch of bride and groom
walking up the aisle.
A bridge of flowers is another very
preCty scheme. In the center of the
board rests a large circular mirror
bordered with flowers. At each side
some distance apart are silver cande-
laura NlONhCu WIN Ndhhl0n anu pl Cl
ty shades. From one candelabrum to
another are stretched two stout wires,
covered and hidden under a broad
band of ribbon. The ribbon is car
ried under the wires also, the two
bands being pinned together invisibly
under little fern sprays and airy
punches OF white flowers. To give
the prettiest effect some of the bios
SONS and greenery should fall natu-
rally and easily over the edge. A
bisque Cupid should be placed at each
end of the bridge, and at the base of
each candelabrum are strewn flowers
and ferns. The idea is a unique one
for a bridal table decoration, express
ing the idea OF crossing the towering
bridge to matrimony.

Use of Oil on Earth Roads.

The Illinois Highway Commission
has undertaken experiments in the
treatment of earth roads with oil in
an endeavor to construct a waterproof
covering sufficiently durable to with
stand traffic. Two sections of road
have been constructed, one on light
clay soil and the other on a black
sticky soil. So far both sections give
promise of success. 1t remains to be
seen if the durability of the roads will
warrant the cost. The treatment re-
quired about two and one-half to
three gallons per square yard, making
the cost not less than 30 to 40 cents
per square yard complete.

British Titles Claimed by Foreigners
An interesting parallel in the
peerage OF Scotland to the Bsrony
OF Fairfax. the claim to which has
just been decided, is the Newburgh
earldom, the holders OF which have
for more than a century been Italian
mobiles. In 1857 Cecilia, grand
daughter of Charlotte Maria, Coun-
tess of Newburgh, became the wife
of Benedict, Prince Giustiniani, and
in 1893 her son Vincent became de
jure the sixth Earl. although he did
not claim the title. Since that time
the Scottish peerage which was con-
flrmed by the House OF Lords to Vim
cents daughter has been distinctly
foreign and quite dissociated from
this country. On the death of the
third Baron Gardner the claimant to
the title was one Alan Hyde Gardner.
the son of a Mohammedan Princess
and the husband of an Indian wife.

New York's DISADVANTAGE.

In comparing the cost of highway
construction in various states, New
York appears at disadvantage. In
Massachusetts, from 1895 to 1907,
there were built 55S miles of road at
a cost of S7,663 per mile; in Connect
cut, between 1899 and 1906, the cost
was $6,072 per mile; New Jersey, from
1894 to 1907, paid S4,676 per mile,
while according to the report of the
Engineer and Surveyor of New York,
the roads under contract at the be-
ginning of 1909 was $40, and the CON
tract price, plus special agreements,
amounted to s4,S17, ,4SS, or $9,265 per
mile; and there is awaiting contract
1,03S miles of road at an estimated
cost of S10,S24,91O or an average of
$lO,326 per mile. 1T is to be hoped
that, under the new highway commia.

ence, this state of things may be rem

NEW DIVORCE CURE.
Or. Worcester Predicts Victory for
Emmanuel Movement

EmmanueI movement.
Boston.-The Rev. DR.. Elwood Wor-
cester, founder of the Emmanuel
movement, is extending his work into
many novel fields. He believes that
the end of the divorce evil will be the
eventual triumph of the new cure.
His method of mild mental sugges-
ton, the introduction of happy
thoughts among melancholy persons
and the removal of the causes for d.
vorce in the mental attitudes of hus-
band and wife. is already proving eff
cacious, he says, in many threatened
divorce cases that have come under
his observation. One of the chief
causes for divorce-the liquor habit
is receiving especial attention
through his Boston club of alcoholics
and his special cases.
DR.. Worcester says emphatically.
however, that suggestion plays only a
small part in the Emmanuel treat
ment. Appeals to conscience and rea-
son and the better nature of patients
have as much to do with the cures as
anything else.
