FUND NEEDED FOR MANUFAC.
TURES COMMITTEE.

The good work done by the conven-
ton committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce since the adoption of the
plan to place at its disposal a sub
stautiaI fund contributed especially for
getting and entertaining conventions
emphasizes the necessity of establish
ing a similar fund for the use Of the
committee on manufactures
The business OF bringing industries
10 Washington, the work OF aiding
them In every reasonable way after
they get here, and the development OF
industries already established eonsti-
tute the primary purpose for which the
Chamber OF Commerce was organized
The committee on manufactures has
done excellent work, but 1t has been
handicapped by the limited funds at
4 its command for necessary expenses.
It has had TO depend on appropriations
from the fixed, general revenues Of the
Chamber derived from annual dues Il
should have at its disposal d special
fund, solicited for the specific purpose
OF enabling It to broaden its field OF
work
An experiment which Is being worked
out in Kansas City might be a good
thing 70 try in Washington, in view OF
the success with which that Western
town handles everything II undertakes
There the Commercial Club Is striving
TO build up the industries It already
has by bringing about the cooperation
Of manufacture, jobber, retailer, and
consumer It Is gathering information
from every manufacture, and viii use
It to show ths four interests concerned
how they can help each other. To that
end the club has sent each manufac-
tJIrer a letter requesting information
on the following subjects:

HE GOT THE NIGHTMARES.
Story of Rich American in Cairo and
Dealer in Oriental Rugs.

John Kimberly Mumford, writing
about oriental rugs, tells the readers
of the Century that:
IL is beyond question cheaper to buy
i'm America your rug and the ingen-
ious tale that goes with il than to wait
until you visit Constantinople or Smyr-
ma or Cairo or Tiflis. They are much
more skillful and insnuating over
there they have the advantage of To-
cal color and environment, and your
common sense is under the spell of the
east to begin with.
Here is an incident to illustrate: A
party of rich Americans arrived in
Cairo one day several winters ago on
a yachting trip. and passed a week or
more in sightseeing. one of them
had just finished palatial house not
far from New York, and throughout
Europe had bought marbles and bronx
es, woodwork and velvcts, for it with
n lavish hand. The journey to Cairo
was made in order TO secure rugs.
What happened is best told i'm the
words of a dealer in the bazaar from
whom ! had it.:
There was fellow i'm our concern

When the head of the house saw them,
he held up his hands and shouted,

to one side, intending to send them to
load. Next morning in came Money

company. He said he wanted to see

Nothing pleased him. for the reason
that made the common mistake of

winked me over into one corner and
told me who he was. Now said he,

All Of a sudden I thought of those two

gestion for a new kind OF country road
which he says would cost only a quar-
ter as much as the present improved
rural highways and would last longer
He writes about It as follows: First
prepare the road bed having it wen
turnpiked, then i'm It's center dig two
parallel trenches eight inches wide,
the inside walls being about forty in
ches apart. Then fiji these bitches up
with q good concrete, i'm blocks about
four feet long, the concrete being built
similar to the manner of building side
walks. but no top dressing being used
and the concrete being rounded or
crowned in the center with still more
rounded or inclining corners. TO build
a mile of this kind of road will require
$500 cubic feet OF concrete which
could be built for ten cents per cubic
foot. or $3.50 per mile. The space be-
tween the concrete can be filed in with
gravel, soil, or stone for the foot-path
of horses. while the concrete will carry
the wheels. OF course, the outside Of
the concrete must also be leveled up
with soil for turn out convenience.
Here is what l maintain Is reasonable
to claim for this kind of a road: First.
its cost will be less that half the cost
OF roads we are now building; second,
ii will never be injured by water: third,
horses will always have easy footing;
fourth, its maintenance will be only
nominal; fifth, il will always be in
good condition and unlimited loads
can be, hauled; sixth. automobiles could
not tear up this kind of road; seventh
1t will be dustless. If this kind of road
should prove practical the highways
could be double tracked in sections
where the traffic demanded il. You
all know that i'm the country, no mat
ter how well a road is macadam-
lied, after a little time the teams will
be following IA path and rut with this
kind of road we will have the path but
not the rut."

A HOUSE OF GOVERNORS

The conference of the governors this
week in Washington opens up no end
OF interesting questions. II is the ex-
pectatlon that with this conference as
q beginning there will be formulated
what is called the plan for House of
Governors. II is proposed that the
governors shall meet at regular inter-
walls as body of peers working out
by united state action those problems
wherein federal action has for more
than a century proved powerless.
IL is not proposed that this House
of Governors shall have relation TO
Congress and that it shall initiate
movements that are calculated 10 bring
pressure 90 bear on Congress to lcgis-
late along certain lines. II il rather

IL goes without saying that the plan
for House OF Governors Will awaken
wide difference of opinion and no end
of controversy comments the Boston

creasing the strength OF the central
government will see i'm il "A movement

are anxious 10 conserve the rights OF

promises, at any rate, TO be of no

in bringing many of the states To take
an interest i'm matters of large public
import on which they are now indider-
ent. In some directions, no doubt, uni
form state legislation ought To be had,
and it would be of vast benefit But
II might as we'll be recognized at the
outset that uniform state legislation is
not a paEacca. There are numerous
vital problems which uniform state
legislation can never solve and which
cannot be solved except by giving the
strong hand of federal authority the
requisite power. Ii necessary, this
must be done by constitutional amend

er day and caused the arrest of the
owner, Lewie Rosenfeldt. The accused
man was arraigned Before Justice Da-
