Thomas O'Rourke of SALT Pennsyl-

were standing on the river bank
when our launch turned, They ran to
the water and jumped into ferry

were in the water, but only Moser
and Finley were above the water
when ORourke threw a rope or some
thing else out to me and Finley and
pulled us to their launch. In the
meantime Moser was swimming his
way to the shore"

Birds a Help to the Farmer.

The demand for the protection of
wild birds was once based solely on
humane and esthetic grounds; now the
demand is coming to be based in addl-
tion on economic grounds, which will
commend it to larger number of men
and insure 1t a more careful hearing
in the court of public opinion. Bird
slaughter not long ago was decried be-
cause the native songsters were being
killed at the behest of millinery
fashion.
Now another note Is sounded. The
increase of insect pests and conse-
quent reduction of the harvests has
correspondent with the decrease of the
birds. In addition to filling their
craws with insects numerous wild
birds feed on weed seeds, and weeds
are handicap in agriculture.
In several states increasing safe
guards are being thrown around birds
because Of their worth as aids to agri
culture.

Russia's Fight on Tuberculosis.

The first white flower day." which
was observed in Russia on May 3,
was success beyond the hopes of
the most sanguine," says the Rus
sische Correspondent. Throughout
the nation on that day men, women
and children offered for sale tiny
white flowers. The proceeds of the
sales were handed over to the League
for the Prevention and Cure Of TIL
berculosis. Money in large quantities
was collected, the smallest and poor
est hamlets contributing their share.
1t is not to be wondered at, because
Russia is really the land of the dread
malady. The trying climate and I'M
speakable sanitary conditions make it
a fruitful ground for the develop
ment of the disease, and statistics
show that in late years there has
been steady increase in its ravages.
The manner in which the people re-
sponded on the first white flower
day" shows that they appreciate the
conditions.

GRADES AND GOOD ROADS
Highways Travelled by Heavily Loaded
Vehicles Should Be Kept Down
to Three Per Cent.

A one per cent. grade on road
means a rise of one foot for each
hundred feet Of distance, travelled up
the hill. A ten per cent. grade means
ten feet rise in each hundred feet so
travelled. A one per cent. grade, then,
means that In travelling up hill one
mile an ascent is made Of 528 feet,
while a ten per cent grade means a
rise in altitude of 52S feet in mile.
Accurate tests have shown that a
horse which can pull 1000 pounds on
a level road can pull only 80 pounds
on rise of one foot in fifty, and on a
rise of one foot in ten he can pull
only $50 pounds. These facts show
that the greatest load than can be
hauled over a road is the load which
can be taken up the steepest hill on
that road, or through the deepest
mud hole. 1t is therefore advised
that all highways travelled by heavily
loaded vehicles should be kept within
a three or four per cent. grade If
practicable. To do this may require
change Of location to get around
hills, always keeping in mind that the
lower the grade the larger the load
may be hauled and the cost Of haulage
kept at the lowest point.

The question may be asked whetn-
er a bond issue of $500,000,000 for aid
In road building would be at all haz-
ardous. BY referring to the state
ment Of the treasury department, one
will find that the present bond issue
amounts to about $11 per capita, and
the annual interest charge is 20 cents.
The issue Of $500,000,000 Of bonds
would carry the bond issue up to ap-
proximately SIC per capita and the
interest charge to A cents. At that
rate It would be the smallest bonded
indebtedness per capita Of any Of the
leading countries of the world. AS
against the SIG, Great Britain has a
debt of $88 per capita, German $40,
Italy $92, and France $144. It is per-
fectly safe to say that If the govern
ment would issue and expend $780,
100000 of bonds in aiding the con.
struction of permanent highways, the
people would never know that an adj
ditional tax had been imposed and
would never feel the payment. This
step would give a mighty impetus to
road building, and In ten or fifteen
years probably 100000 miles of good
roads could be built, and this would
revolutionize transportation and
would add UNNECESSARILY to the pleas
ure Of country life, and would add sew.
eral times the amount to the prop
erty value of the nation, and give US
better schools, higher social life and
higher standard of civilization.
There Is widespread demand for
parcels post, and as congress usu'
ally responds to popular demand, and
always does If the clamor Is loud and
long enough. So 1t is quite probable
the parcel post will be tried out.
Let the government help build good
roadside highways over which the
children must 60 to school, the doc.

mand good roads. Roads are univer'
sal: waterways are sectional. Good
roads mean saving in transportation
far greater than can be accomplished
in any other way. Good roads mean
better schools, more social life and a
higher standard of living; they mean
progress and civilization. :.

SCALP HEALED IN FOUR DAYS

TT affords me pleasure to tell Of the
good Cuticura Soap and Ointment
have done my little girl. She had
eczema on the scalp last fall. The
trouble began this way. First small
mattery pimple appeared. The pimple
broke and the matter, a watery SUBJ
stance, ran on the skin, forming hard
crust which was very itchy. 1t was on
the top of her head, and the crust be-
came as large as the palm of my hand.
My doctor said 1t was eczema.
IT used remedy but had no success
with 1t. used it nearly two weeks,
then q friend recommended Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. I used the Cuti-
cura Ointment, applied 1t on the
scalp at night and morning, and in
four days the scalp was all healed. no
sign of crusts or scabs could be seen.
Then I washed her hair with Cuticura
Soap. She has not had sign of &C.
zema since Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment cured her, and l shall always
keep them in my house. I can prove
this statement by my neighbor and
family" (Signed) Mrs. H. B. Cooley.

A Japanese Tea.

Affairs Japanesque are always ef-
fective and pleasing to ones guests.
To make the rooms as really Japanese
as possible much Of the furniture
should be removed, partitioning of
spaces where necessary with Japanese
paper screens. Use towering shrubs,
almond blossoms (artificiaD, chrys-
anthemums and butterflies suspended
by invisible black threads. The host
ess must bow very low three times,
saying "Konichiwa" when the guests
arrive and "Sayonara" when they
leave. Tea should be served with no
cream; use cups without handles.
Sponge cakes may be served If rice
ones are not obtainable, also pre-
served ginger. If something cold is
wished have cherry ice. Those who
assist should wear kimonos.
Have some young girls in Japanese
costumes play bag BALI (dama). Have
a number Of bright-colored bags filled
with dried beans. Each girl tries to
keep as many bags going as possible
without dropping them. Another
amusing game Is played by means Of
a long silk scarf, in the center Of
which is a loose knot or loop, held
midway between the two players who
hold the scarf and the floor. On one
side of the loop a player sits. On the
other side is small object, flower,
a bean bag, even a thimble. The
player who sits by the loop tries to
slip her hand through, grab the small
article and take her hand back again
before those holding the loop can
draw 1t tight and make her hand
prisoner.
