tails OF good road building, cautions
Director Logan In this country many
roads are needlessly built. II is a fact
that about 20 per cent Of our roads car
ry 90 per cent OF traffic.
The ma jority of roads are built of
earth, which can be prepared more
chcaply than others. This Is q variety
valuable from most standpOints. With
proper construction and maintenance
they make favorable roads which are
within the means OF every community.
The two most essential features IN
the building OF an earth road are prop
or drainage 0hls should never be over
looked and plenty of sun. The sand
clay road has popular approval to an
extent. Today there are about $4,000
miles of sand-clay roads in this conn
try. AS the name implies. these roads
are composed OF sand and clay mixed
In such proportions as to form com
pact and firm support for traffic. In
the most successful sand;clay roads
lust enough clay Is used to fill I'm the
yolds between the grains OF sand. mix
ture being made when the material Is
wet.
Hardness, toughness and binding
power are the things with which the
builder must be chiefly concerned In
the gravel road. which Is considered
unsatisfactory by some, but this Is the
result mainly or poor construction and
not the material used. The grading.

BY ALBERT s. DALE.

the United States there are
about 100000 miles OF improved
roads. AS we have over 2,200,-
900 miles Of highways altogether
In this country, It can easily be seen
how the important question OF road
improvement has been neglected.
No road is as expensive as bad
one, One hundred million dollars are
spent yearly in building and maintain
Ing good roads, and it might safely be
said that three times that amount is
lost by bad road tax. The average
farmer to whom the good road would
mean profit must travel over miles OF
Ill kept roads at the cost OF time and
energy. He must pay as much to
ship bushel Of wheat from the farm
to the railroad as he does to ship the
same from New dbrk to Liverpool,
800 miles.S
The railroads Of the country handled
last year some 100000, 900 tons. OF
which 265,000,OO0 tons represented ag-
ricultural, forest and miscellaneous
products, which were carted over
country roads. The average haul from
the farm to the shipping point is one
fourth Of mile, and the average cost
Is % cents ton per mile. The total
cost OF hauling 265,000,O00 tons is
1880, 900. or about $2.16 ton.
These figures are astounding and
shameful, as England, Germany and
France average 10 cents per mile q
ton and even less.
BIG SAVING POSSIBLE
We can readily see by these facts
that the United States Is far behind In
the Improvement OF Its road system
IL the lives of the 25O00,O00 horses
and mules, valued at $1,000, 600, 900.
and the 100000 carriages and wag-
ons, valued at $S3 100000, were length
ened one year by easing their strain,
which could be accomplished by build
Ing better roads, the United States
would be the richer by millions Of
dollars.
Ii Is we'll known fact that property
abutting an improved road increases In
value. This Is true all over the world.
A proof OF this was shown In recent
investigation In Ohio. Figures from a
number Of counties, some containing
poor roads and others good highways.
showed that property values were 81
per cent higher in the good roads coun.
ties. A leading cause for the .dcpopu-
lation Of town or a community and
the movement cityward Is the lack OF
road Improvement.
Latterly, however. n movement for
betterment has taken hold. The United
States government office Of public
roads, approved in 1893 by congress,
has maintained steady campaign for
good roads. Under Director Logan

Curiously Striking.
The differences between the eastern

North Carolina, the highest peaks III

Several transcontlnental railway lines
in the west pull their main line trains
over greater elevation than that

These western elevations are. OF course,

ditionnl income by enabling the

There are about 400000.000 acres

NLARk GRIFFITH, manager Of

~ thinks the squeeze play one of
the jokes of baseball, and it Is
not likely that the Nationals will ever
be caught trying this play. Griffith
thinks that when right handed pitch

that inasmuch as left handler il UNI

get running start off that base, but
he holds that there Is no excuse for a

is inrch more effective to his way of

man on first and third and none Is out
the first baseman is sure TO hug his
bag in an cndeavor 10 hold the runner

conditions Il bunt toward first base will

that there is no way to break up the
