NO PERIL IN AEROPLANE
General Grant Considers Them Useless
as Engines of War.

New York, Nov. 3.-Major General
Frederick D. Grant, commander of the
department of the East, who was one
of the closest followers of the work of
the airmen at the Belmont Park meet,
sees no war peril in the aeroplane. AS
an engine of war he thinks they will
be found comparatively harmless. AT
the range less than 5000 feet he is
convinced that sharpshooters could
easily pick off the best of them, while
at a greater height their distance
would probably defeat their own pur-
poses.
I'm the present unprotected state of
the aeroplane," he says, 1T will be
useful for scouting purposes, but not
formidable as an engine of war;"

A Word on Roacs.

"Mending the roads" is the order
of the day. 1t is an unconscious sar-
casm that calls it mending when the
old plan is followed OF plowing and
scraping the dirt into the middle of
the road to be trodden into dust or
mud 1t is the most expensive meth.
cd we know of how not to do it,"
More time and money have been vast
ed in unsystematic ways { trying to
make good roads than would have
sufficed if they had been scientifically
used to have mad hard smooth roads
over whici at all seasons heavy roads
could be easiIy driven.
But the loss occasioned by waste
of time and money by wrong methods
of work 10 small compared with that
which the farmer sustains in the
hauling of his produce to market. Bad
roads mean small loads, and that
it means additional cost for wear and
tear of animals, vehicles and har-
ness.
Isn't it strange that so many who
rightly insist on having the best ma.
chinery, implements and stock, and
who keep their land up, should be
content to travel every day over roads
that are good only under the most fav-
orable conditions? The one excuse
advanced is the expense. This is
some force in this especially in some
communities and where good road ma

State Issues ,iew 6ulletlr Dealing
with Road Problem.
The Missouri State Board OF Agri-
culture has iss.ed another bulletin,
dealing 7ith the problem of good
roads. The subject is exhaustively
treated, the bulletin comprising twen-
ty-seven printed pages, and carrying a
number of illustrations. 1t refers to
local option as curtailing road rev.
enues, and make the claim that the
number of miles travelled with full
loads to market is 80 per cent, that
the number OF miles travelled other
than to market is 20 per cent. leav-
ing the total number of miles Travelled
without roads at 90 per cent. and on
this point has this to say
Thus Cnly 80 per cent or a little
less than one-thlrL of the travel over
our public highways is with loads for
the market For this one-third of the
miles travelled man wants a reliable
road and one over when he can haul
a fair sized load. Continuing, it in
sists that "if the people of this State

spend as much money and energy and
apply themselves as diligently to their
own system OF highways as they have
upon the railroads within the past for
ty, they would fil.d a very much per-
fected system of transportation at the
end of that time
The bulletin quotes from Washing
ton and Hamilton in advocacy of su-
pervision. 1t says: Naturally, a
haphazard system or road improve
ment has been ineffective and INSULT
cient, yet, strange to say, some coun-
ties are so indifferent that they are
willing to continue in the same old
way. This i'll effect was cited as far
back as colonial days, when Wash
ington is quoted as having written to
Patrick Henry recommending that
road work of Virginia be taken from
under the control of the county courts
and giver to expert supervision.
Hamilton's position was that road
improvement without competent SUI
pervision woulu never be satisfactor-
lily done Yet it took a long time to
begin the awakening, since it is only
within the past ten or twelve years
that the states, at the rate of one or
two year, have been making new
laws providing for expert supervision
of road affairs"
