ASPHALT FOR ROADS.
Will Make Excellent Binding, Says
London Enqineer.

Cecil Nathan. an engineer of Lon
don who gives especial attention to
roadmaking. expresses the belief that
asphalt is destined to take the place
of tar as a binder of macadam roads.
He defines the essential deslderata'
of a satisfactory road as smooth ap-
pearance and even surface following
be sanitary, dustless. nOiseless and
nonslippery." Mr.. Nathan also stipu-
lates that the ideal road must not only
have these qualities, but be reasonable
in initial cost and above all in main
tenance.
"Many Of the present generation will
remember the phrase, Electricity is
only In its infancy" says Mr.. Nathan.
well, today the road board is In its
infancy. and have no doubt that II
will grow into as fine and healthy a
child as electricity did. Like other In
fants. the road board is just beginning
to speak, and the first word that IL has
been taught is tar Now, l hope 1t
will very soon grow up and learn
words of two syllables. such as AS

to road engineers the real meaning of
this much misunderstood word.

Most Famous Puzzles.
The two most famous puzzles in
vented by Sam Lloyd were pigs In
clover" and the fifteen puzzle. His
puzzles were divided into two general
classes-namely. those requiring man
ual dexterity and those requiring
mental dexterity. Many folks through
out the world got the pigs into the
right place at the expense of their
nervous systems. but nobody ever
solved the fifteen puzzle. II had oc-

The puzzle out Of which this inventor

the object was to put two Jockeys on

The facility with which his brain could

NEW YORK, November 9.--The driv

cumulated In several hundred thousand
households. Although the drivers quit
work only last night, facilities for
taking care of refuse in the average
private house and apartment are sc
limited that if the strike continues for
twenty-four hours 1t will cause incon-
venience, and longer than that may
develop serious menace to health.
Only few of the $500 carts operated
by the department went out this morn
ing. and these were used in an effort
to collect ashes and garbage in some
of the most crowded districts Of the
East Side.
Object to Night Collections.
The drivers strike because they dc
not like the new method, of removine
refuse at night. The men were called
out after Mayor Gaynor had told the
street cleaning commissioner to notify
the city employees that the city was
not In the position of u private en-
ployer. and that they could strike as
soon as they saw fit. The strike Is
organized by the International Broth.

day morning lead them to believe that
they have encountered a murder mystery
similar in it's essential aspects to the
vermilya case. except that pistol in
stead of poison is alleged to have been
used in taking human life.
When the police arrived Quinn told
them and DIR. Fred A. Bonfield, who also
was summoned, that he mad been snot

Mrs. Thorpe was arrested at the time

set free. \ son OF Thorpe was found in
Jackson by the detectives and he is said
to have told them that he believed his
mother knew more Of the death of his
father than she ever had told. He agreed
to accompany the detectives to Chicago,
