Salina Union: The county com
missioners are today considering ,
bin which, II not Illegal, is at leas
unusual. Saline county ia asked :,

There is Q law providing that II
man becomes insane IN . county b,

custom to notify the county first ~
that II may send the officials after
the patient and give him trial IN
his own county This Is especially
true where the counties are near
each other.
But the Dickinson county officials
ignored this custom. They knew
that working lived here but said not
a word and went ahead and held his
trial. Today a certified bill was re-
ceived by the Saline county commits
sioners and they are asked to pay
the bill.
AS far as can be learned this Is
the first time such method has
ever been used. Patients from other
counties becoming insane here have
always been sent to their respective
counties.
And now there is q question wheth-
er or not, II Salina county must pay

There is also a question as to-
whether or not the patient had coun-

are invalid.
The commissioners are investigat-

and interdependence of the various arts taught. An instance which shows how this theory works is shown in the fifth grade of the schools where the girls were studying and discussing the growth and weav- ing of cotton on the loom. It seems that some of the girls had heard the Wagnerian opera Flying Dutchman" and were particularly impressed with the "Whirl and Twirl' portion of the Spinning Song so they asked the music supervisor.

PRESENT DAY GIRLS
 CAN COOK AND SEW
THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO
 MAKE THEIR CLOTHES.
And They Will Know How to Wear
 Them.

4 few days ago Miss McLane. art supervisor of the Phoenix public schools, spoke to the students of the sewing class a portion of the eighth grade domestic science department. oi which Miss Ruth Lewis is teacher The subject discussed by Miss Me Lane was the correlation of the art work to the making and designing taught in sewing. She pointed out to these young girls the effort that they should make to see in imagination the finished frOck as whole on the fig ure. before beginning to work upon it, andto apply their work in designing to the figure, considering it as a space to be decorated. having in mind the finished result and planning the gown with the thought of simplicity, harmony and color and suitability to the Wearer
 Miss McLane especially emphasized the fact that every woman owes it to herself and to the world to he well and appropriately dressed; that to be so does not indicate vanity. but rather dignity and self respect and a proper pride in ones own appearance.
 In talking to the cooking class, she said that one must have the right Ideas of design and color to make a salad appear palatable, no matter now good it might be, or to place food upon a plate so that it had an appetiZing look. She might have added that appetite and digestion both wait upon appeal to the palate. and the artistic sense of the diner, more than many people suppose.
 The work in domestic science is proving most attractive to the girls from the fifth grade to the finish in the high school and is proving that the contention often heard that wom- en no longer care to either do or su- porvise the work of the home, is en- trely without foundation Girls are taught nowadays to love the beautiful labor of caring for the welfare of their loved ones and to know that a clean, orderly hOme food well cooked and attractively served. adds years to both the efficiency and the life of every member of the family
 The aim of the teachers in the pub lie schools is to teach the correlation

Moisture In Roads

Stone is perhaps the ideal road ma
terial, but II is usually out Of the ques-
ton. Earth roads can be made.
The keynote to success In making
them Is controlling the moisture. When
there is too much of 1t the earth be-
comes mud; when too little the result
Is dust. There Is a happy medium
between these two extremes. when
the soil packs hard. In most soils, ex-
cepting clayey ones. it is not difficult
to maintain this favorable moisture
content. Keep the center of the road
higher, SO that water cannot remain
there. When il does the result Is ruts
wet weather and in dry weather
the sides of the road are ground up
into dust.
Drainage bitches should be provided
along the road. II water stands there
IL will soak under the roadbed and
soften 1t. Another important factor
is to keep a space Of fifteen to eight
cen feet free from grass and weeds,
which, If allowed TO grow on the road,
take up so much moisture that the soil
grinds up into dust.

MAINTENANCE OF EARTH
ROADS IN SOUTHERN STATES
Systematic Labor, Road Drags and
Better Laws Needed.

1t matters not how active we are in
our efforts TO encourage the construc-
ton of macadam, gravel and other
hard surface roads. there will of neceS
sity, for years to come. be a greater
percentage of earth roads in every
southern state.
The reasons for this are apparent to
any one familiar with conditions from a
financial and population standpoint, to
say nothing of the lack of road building
material that exists in a large number
of counties.
We are informed by the United
States Office Of public roads, that the
ten southern states-namely, Alabama
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Car
olina, Tennessee and Texas, had. in
1904, 472,5S9 miles Of unimproved
roads. Assuming that since then the
mileage of improved roads has doubled,
we will have left 45S,3Sl miles. IL
these figures are approximately cor
rect, should not the question of the
proper CONSTRUCTION ana maintenance
Of these roads receive our most careful
and thoughtful attention?
Wonderful Improvements have been
made in earth roads where common
sense men have used common sense
methods of construction and mainte-
nance, but so long as we are content
to place this important work In the
hands Of incompetent or grating
politicians, as is so often the case. we
cannot expect anything but the worst.
All failures in this work are not due
to graft, for a large majority Of road
commissioners and oyerseers are hon.
est men, but as a rule they are elected
to office not because of their fitness
for the work, but because of their per
sonal popularity. These evils, coupled
