Women For Good Roads.

In one of those cities where the
women have actively taken up the
work of civic Improvement the wO-'
mans club has created department
of good roads and has appointed q
committee to have charge This is the
first action of the kind that we have
noticed. The local newspaper says
that this committee has not been
asked to work the roads. but it surely
will be able to work the men who con-
troll them. to judge by the success Of
the efforts of the women in the past
for improvements of advantage to the
city" And therein is stated the secret
of the value of such an undertaking on
the part of these women If the men
won't build good roads the women can
make them. Southern Good Roads
begs leave to acknowledge itself firm
and unwavering constituent of this
club of progressive ladies who not
only enjoy books and original articles
on current topics. refreshments and SO
cial pleasures connected with the usu-
al feminine club. but also incorporate
into their realm of activity such a
iaudable work as furthering the good
roads movement

STATE CONTROL OF ROADS.
Why a Kansas county's Surveyor "a.
vors a Uniform System.

Why Kansas county's Surveyor Fa-
vors Uniform System.
The state control Of roads in order
to bring about ss:s;fus'mity and elimi-
nate the offices that have to do with
road building is advocated by j. NJ.
Lindsay. county surveyor of Wyan-
dotte county. Kan Mr.. Lindsay would
abolish the office of county engineer
and have a resident state engineer ap-
pointed either by the state highway
engsleer or IL good roads commission.
AS IA continuation of the plan the
unship road overseer would be IN
DIR The control of the resident engl-
neer. and the result. MIR. Lindsay
says, would be uniformity of roads
aud bridges.
Suppose Mr.. Lindsay said. that
the county commissioners of one coun-
ty should erect concrete bridge ana
Oh the same road in the next county
cheap tin affair is erected. In few
years the cheap bridge may wear out.
and heavily loaded wagon or a
thrashing machine would be compel
led to go around it. Under state con-
troll this condition would not arise. us
the plans for bridges would be more
or less uniform. Not that all bridges
would necessarily be concrete. but the
capacity and condition of every bridge
in the state would be known by every
raSidpnt anuinepr If the survey OF
every county road were made in con-
fermity with roads in adjoining coun-
ties the ultimate result would be a
road straight across the state at no
unusual cost
This would be the case if surveys
fer all generally Travelled roads were
fled in the office of the. state highway
engineer or with good roads COM
mission Then, too, the road boss
who insists upon his own ideas Of
road building. whether they are right
or wrong. would be eliminated. He
would be under the direction Of a
| competent engineer. and his bit OF
| road would receive the same attention
as any other road in the state"
Mr.. Lindsay is one of the three
members of committee appointed by
the Kansas Engineering society to
procure the passage of good roads
laws in the Kansas legislature next
winter. He is .endeavoring to get the
support of the society for state con
troll of highways.

BUILDING OF
GOOD ROADS
Suggestions For the Treatment
Of Rural Highways.
NO PATCHWORK WHATSOEVER

The Work to Be Done In Sections-A
Mile Should Be Carefully Finished In
It's Entirety = How the Roadway
Ought to Be Cared For.
How good roads should be made and
how they should be cared for is tersely
described in the Iowa Homestead by
an enthusiast, who says:
In the first place, there should be no
patchwork roadmaking having for its
object only to make one particular spot
passable Road work should be done
in sections. For instance a mile OF
road should be taken and completed in
its entirety Every inch of il should
be made good and safe road. | ven
ture the assertion that not more than
one mile of road in every ten is safe
or free from some dangerous trap TO
cause trouble to careless drivers or
those not given to close observation OF
the roadways. They should be made
so that a child might safely drive over
them
Beginning. | would establish rea
sonable grade so that no steep hills
remain when the work is finished
would make over the entire width of
the road from fence to fence | would
make the actual roadway of usual
width. with only rise enough in the
center to shed rain. From the gutter
at the side of this roadway would
make a smooth and even grade to the
fence line. Then l would compel thu
property owners along the road to keep
the roadside well set in grass and to
NOW and care for it just as they do
their meadows. No deep. unsi.htly
and dangerous gullies would be per
mitted. and the man who scraped a
lot of grass. weeds, clods and trash
| into the center of the road should at
once be condemned to penal servitude
| for life. Capital punishment would be
| too good for the one who secured his
pillow in the road.
The road worker who ploWed up n
| stretch of road late in the fall and
left it to mellow up until spring
should be banished to roadless Sibe
ria. A plow has no place in any road
that has once been properly made
The care of a road made according to
my plan would be only that of going
over it occasionally with Il drag The
| occasion for the use Of the drag. how
ever, should be from the viewpoint of
the need of the road and not the con
venience of the operator of the drag
No man would be permitted to drive 6
drag over a road unless he were a
| licensed graduate of il roadnaiina
school. A road drag is a dangerous
thing flor the road in the hands of a
man who does not have sense enough
to use it.
| would build a complete and effec-
tive drainage system to take care OF
the water that finds its way to the
road-not guesswork one. but one
planned by a drainage engineer wht
knew how.
| would make culverts and bridges
the width of the road No small cul
verts should be built They invaria
bly, fill up and remain n damage A
good. big concrete bridge is the safest
and cheapest that can be made

FOR YEARS
MISSIONARY, WILL
SPEAK ON CHINA
Rev. j. M. Fraser, of NingpO
Station, to Speak at
St. Patrick'S.

Rev. j. NJ. Fraser, a missionary from
Ningpo, China, will preach at 1870 in
ST. Patrick's Cathedral tomorrow eve
ming. He was the first priest from
North America to volunteer for the
Chinese mission, where he has already
spent eight years. He will speak on
the work which the Catholic Church
has done and is doing in China.
Father Fraser has some interesting
things to tell, and his audience on
sunday evening should be exceedingly
large. He states that there are at
present 6S5 native priests and a num-
Der of native nuns They have or
phanages, supported mainly by the
Holy Childhood Society, and in Ningpo,
his principal station, there is an or
phanage containing 600 little girls.
There are altogether 1900, 900 Catholics
in China. but this is only a drop in the
ocean when the population of the coun-
try-over 400, 900, 000-is considered.
Father Fraser has not been idle in
China. BESIDES conYerting and bap-
Using several thousands, he has al
ready built q church and rectory, which
are the first foreign buildings erected
in that part of China. When he re-
turns he intends to build four more,
with schools and orphanages attached.
During the summer Father Fraser
preached on behalf of the Chinese mis-
sion in st. Patrick's Cathedral, Ar
utagh, Ireland, in presence of Cardinal
Iogue; in the Cathedral of Thurles and
the large churches of Cork and LINER
lex. He also leotured in a number of
Irish colleges, including Maynooth, All
Hallpws, Mungret and Mt. Melleray.
