FEAR FOR The
STATE ROADS
State Board Of Agriculture
Takes Up Matter.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

NHfOUt tbC AVE- W.
Trenton, Oct. 10.-Franklin Dye,
Secretary of the State Board Of Ag-
riculture, declared today that some
drastic action must be taken at once
to save New Jerseys fine system of
more than 1900 miles Of improved
highways built under the state aid
law. Secretary Dye stated that since
New Jersey has thrown its doors wide
open to automobilists of other states,
by the law passed last winter, the
damage to the roads has very greatly
increased. The high power cars, he
said, are rapidly destroying the
roads.
1t is likely that the matter will be
brought before the State Board of
Agriculture at its annual meeting
here in january. Mr.. Dye thinks that
the automobile license fees should be
materially increased in order that
those who are doing the most dam
age to the roads should provide the
cost for their maintenance.

Although showering praise upon

censured DR.. William e. Ramsay, q

against the local option measures
while in the legislature for three

Ramsay was directly in front
of the speaker and listening
with marked attention. 1.-THE next
senator from Middlesex, as DR.. Ma
son called the local physician, was
later pointed out to the Metuchen
minister.
DR.. Mason had a wrd of praise for
DR.. Ramsay, when he came to the
! question of health, and the campaign
the local physician is now making
to serve the people in the upper
house" and introduce measures that
will tend to improve the health con-
ditions in New Jersey. God bless
him and guide him in these efforts"
DR.. Mason said in regard to DR..
Ramsay's health campaign. The Me-
tuchen pastor declares hat he as
pires to the senatorial office for no
other reason than to improve the
health conditions of this state by re-
moving the existing evil-Demon

Westphalian ham, more or less ia

culiar piquant taste by the use of
juniper berries in smoking the meat.
The juniper shrub Is indigenous to
Northwestern Germany, and so plen-
tiful, especially in Westphalia, that
to its presence is due the growth dur
ing the past several centuries, of two
principal Industries of this German
province, the distillation of gin and
the preparation of hams. According
to the most authoritative information
obtainable, Westphalian hams to be
sliced and eaten raw, are prepared
in the following manner:
The carcasses are cut in such a
way as to retain the whole ham bone
together with the hip. The hams are
then rubbed thoroughly with a solu-
ton of 100 pounds of salt to one
pound Of saltpeter. when they are
placed on cement floors or in vats
and thickly strewn with salt. They

A DOGS LIFE NOW IDEAL.
Women Establish Clubs and Retreat
for CAninea

London.-The phrase, "a dogs
life," instead of being a synonym for
state of misery will, IL the present
tendency of things is to be taken as
reliable indication, be the correct
term to use in describing the ideal ex-
istence. Not only have dogs in Lon
don and their country cousins when
they come to town, got a West End
club to which is affiliated n country
club at Maidenhead, where those jad-
ed with town pleasures can live the
simple life, but they can now take
the "cure" at Water End, q rural re-
treat near Hemel Hampstead, where
like their masters and mistresses, the
pampered darlings who are suffering
the strain Of strenuous season, can
take the water"
This latest attempt to make life
worth living the canine race owe to
the Misses Clay and Farrar, two wo-
men who love open-air life and are
keenly interested in dogs.

Famous Statue Broken in Fight After
Discovery.
Paris.-Jean Aicard, the academi-
can, tells this week why the Venus
of Milo has no arms.
Many are the theories on the sub
jqect Some have supposed that the
goddess lacked arms because the
sculptor, 20 centuries ago, feared to
complete his work. How could he
make those members beautiful
enough?
Again, others have assumed that
she held a lance in her hands, as
Venus Victoriaus" or repelled q
lover, who formed originally part of
group with her. But In an article,
M. Aicard disposes Of these hypothes-
es.
Venus had arms as lovely as her
body: with her right hand she held
up her draperies, in her left was an
apple.
Found by Peasant.
Venus was discovered in 1920 by
a peasant, who was digging his ground
in the Island of Milo. She was In
