HOUSEHOLD HINTS
WORTH REMEMBERING

Tar may be removed from the hands
by rubbing with the outside OF fresh
orange or lemon peel and drying i'm
medlately. The volatile oils dissolve tar
so that il can be rubbed of.
To clean knife handles or any bone ar
ticle, it is a good plan to use salt and
lemon Juice. First rub the article well
with the lemon Juice and then with the
salt This will remove stains and grease
spots.
Never trouble to shave down the end
Of a too thick candle. for there is a bet
ter and quicker plan. Get a little hot
water, and in II hold the end Of the
candle till the wax softens; then press
it into the candlestick-it will Mt firmly
directly.
A few drops of lemon Juice in the
water In which the face is washed re-
moves all greasiness and leaves the skin
fresh and satiny, as well as making II
fairer and clearer. A little lemon juice
rubbed over the cheeks before retiring
and allowed to dry will remove summer
freckIes and whiten the skin, and II per-

81 OF construction and improve
ment of roads throughout the
United States The movement for good
roads is spreading every year and today
is a very important question before the
people. A number, OF the states OF, the
Union have been waging good roads cam
paigns, and as a result vast sums OF
money will be expended for this cause
within the next year. New York and
Pennsylvania have prepared for $50. co.,
600 bond issues. and these will be deter
mined at the coming meeting of their
respective legislatures. Maryland has al
ready spent several million dollars in the
improvement of it's highway system and
in the construction. of new roads through
out the state. This condition of affairs
not only exists in the eastern and middle
states, but throughout the southern and
western parts of the United States. In
every state in the Union where start
is made in the building of good roads
as the work progresses converts are
made to a more liberal and progressive
policy
Better roads mean progress and pros
perity, a benefit to the people who live
in towns, an advantage to the people
who live in the country and at the same
time help every section of the country.
The cost of bad roads is said to be added
to the price Of products of the farm. and

Section Is impossible.

This section is almost impossible, he
continues, owing to the great amount OF
grading that was necessary to be done
and the number of culverts that had to
be constructed Every effort is being
bent to have this road put in condition
as quickly as possible.
In speaking of the plans for the other
portions of the road between Perryville
and North East, which forms part of that
twelve mile stretch, Engineer Shirley says
that next year he hopes to be able to
grade and drain this road, thus making it
an improved section for the entire length.
At the request of the writer he has Of
fered the two following routes for mo-
torsts who have occasion to motor 10
points north of Elkton: Cross the Sus-
quehanna river at Conowingo and motor
via Rising Sun to Newark, DEL, thereby
avoiding this road. The second route is

Vile and proceed to North East. then

ever, is not in quite as good condition

side and they have at last realized that
bad roads have much to do with 1t. Good
roads have been the great empire build

Ancient Rome prided herself upon her
roads. Many of her roads have stood the

that is rapidly becoming universal.
Farmer Vitally Interested.
1t is the farmer who is most directly
and vitally interested in the improve
ment and construction Of country roads.
Whatever may be the ultimate destina-
ton of farm products, their first move
ment Is over the country roads. Every
Improvement in highway-be it a water
way, a railway or wagon road-means
an enlargement Of the opportunities OF
those engaged in any kind of business
contiguous to 1t, Operating farm is In
In which a high grade Of intelligence is
required to insure success.
The farmer is our greatest producer.
Unlike the manufacturer. he cannot load
his products in cars at the scene of their
production and be relieved Of the re-
sponsibility Of transportation. To him
falls the duty Of hauling his entire sal
able production to the nearest and best
market. perhaps mile. Or probably sew
eral miles. With bad roads his hauling
must be done when weather conditions
are most favorable. thus keeping him
and his team away from farm work at
times when that work can be most effect
i've. In addition to contributing to the
profits OF agriculture, good roads add IN

stimulus to the question and have been
productive Of greater results than all
other causes combined At the last ses-
sion of Congress several hundred thou
sands of dollars was appropriated to be
expended In the Improvement of rural
free delivery roads, this being in addi-
tion to large appropriation obtained by
the Office of public roads Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture through Logan
Waller Page. the director. The post Of
fee appropriation will be expended under
the supervision of Postmaster General
Hitchcock, who is expected to lend valu-
able assistance to the Department OF
Agriculture in carrying on this most i'm
pOrtant work.
Good roads are Of vital importance to
the rural mail service in order to facili-
tate easy transit. certainty and regular
ity In delivery and dispatch of the mails.
Rural residents have come to expect the
call of the mail carrier each day at an
appointed time without regard to CHI

great many instances they fail to show
their appreciation of this service to them

boulevards. This transformation will
continue with greater vigor after the $780,

Estate legislature when 1t meets. District
motorists are interested in the roads or
tnat state by reason of the fact that they
spend considerable time motoroing over
its highways during the touring season
They are particularly interested in CEN
trail and western portions of the state,
being the gateway to western points. AS
a general rule when motoriSt plans TO
visit the west he either goes Via Gettys-
burg and thence over the ChamDerSDurg
pike or Via Hagerstown, striking the

Steps have already been taken to ac-

state authorities in Pennsylvania. being
the Chambersburg and Bedford turnpike
road. This road forms a portion of one
of the most desirable and shortest routes
from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. A toll
of !, cents mile is charged to go over
this turnpike, which has been protested
against by motorists for years. The toll

Road Work In Maryland.

To satisfy the public demand for the
rapid construction of roads at a minimum
cost, and at the same time construct
them Of such a high type as to Withstand
the constantly changing and increasing
strain Of modern motor traffic. is prob
lem which is at present confronting many
of the states. To meet this situation in
part the types of roads being constructed
in the state of Maryland are being adapt
ed. as far as consistent with proper
system of state highways, to the physical
characteristics, the traffic requirements
and the desires Of the people in the sew
eral parts of the state.
In western Maryland operations are at
present largely confined to the resurfac-
ing Of the Frederick and National pixies
from Baltimore west to the Pennsylvania
state line, the old roads being utilized for
this purpose. In southern Maryland
sand-cley gravel roads are being built
in a number of places. While these may
not be regarded permanent modern
highways. still they meet q local demand
and give a much larger mileage. in sec
tons where traffic is light at present.
