She slipped on the ice and fell and
was sso badly hurt she could not get

while before she was able to make
any one hear her call for help. She
was carried into the house and a phys.

In mileage the United States has the
greatest system of roads which any
country has ever possessed. According to
a careful road census the length Of all
our roads amounts to ., 10000 miles. The
annual expenditure on these roads is ap-
fortunately $4,000, 600 a year. Road ad-
ministration has been placed on a prac-
teal basis in about half the states of
the Union, comprising the New England
states, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer
sey. Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West
virginia, OHIO. Michigan. Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Missouri. Kansas, Cali

adopted in principle or practice the sys-

The honors were divided among Billy
knipper, who won the Merrimac valley
trophy: Louis Chevrolet. who captured
the Yorick Club trophy; Bobby Bur-
man. the Vesper Club trophy, and George
Robertson. the Lowell trophy. The rae
Ing was the best ever witnessed over this
course and enthusiasm ran high during
the three-day meet. The races are be-
coming an annual affair, and the attend
ance this season far surpassed any previ-
ously recorded in the north.
The next important card on the pro-
gram was the Fairmont Park race. which
was captured by George Robertson, who
won the same event in 1903. He out
classed all of his competitors by several
minutes and covered himself with glory.
The last road races of the season were
