cooperative effort is needed to secure

With the determined purpose Of Sc
curing better roads for East Lampeter
township Dr. Donald McCaskey began
his fight for the King road drag in
Lancaster county, Pa. This was back
III 1909. when DR.. McCaskey was new
conner in East Lampeter. His vocation
was the practice of medicine. his avoca-
ton "doctoring' the roads. His coun-
try practice took him over practically
all the roads of the township. He was
obliged to travel on them at all seasons
Of the year Frequently he got stuck
In the mud. meeting with serious trou-
Bile in making his professional calls.
He was never certain about reaching
his destination and often was prevent
ed from arriving in time to be Of great

attention to the seriousness Of the road
question. He realized the usefulness
and possibilities of the King road drag.

DOES TARRING ROADS
SERIOUSLY AFFECT TREES?
French Authorities Experimenting
With an Avenue In Paris.

This road tarring. problem has for
months past been engaging the atten-
ton of French scientists owing to the
numerous complaints touching the i'll
effects Of tarred roads on the vegeta-
ton in the Bots de Boulogne and else
where in the vicinity Of Paris. The
head gardener of the Bots has come
forward as a reliable witness of the
harm done to trees by the black pow
derry tar dust which settles on them.
whatever their height may be, and can
not be removed even by the heaviest
rain. He has produced samples of
leaves thus injured, and he forecasts
that in settling upon the foliage the
tar dust or powder raised by the per-
petual grind of traffic must end by
sitting the development of the tree.
Reports received by the commission
from municipal gardeners and planta-
ton custodians confirm this view of
the matter; but, categorical though this
Indictment against road tarring is. the
commission very prudently declines to
believe implicitly what is said until
such assertions have been investigated
to determine definitely what truth
there is in them.
Practical experiments have yet TO be
made before final decision be reach
ed. An avenue, for instance, it is
stated. will be taken as field for care
full operations. Half Of it will be sub
jected to the tar treatment, the re-
mainder being left to the ordinary road
dust, and at the expiration Of a given
period results will be compared. Parks
and plantations will be similarly treat
ed by the creation Of zones of tar
around flower beds and bushes. In fact.
in every way the work in hand is to
be done thoroughly and methodically.
Delicate flowers and plants will. it is
thought. probably suffer from the
proximity Of tar. but this will not
prove that the faded condition Of trees
and foliage along tar laid avenues is
to be ascribed exclusively to the per-
nicious effects of tar dust. A variety
Of circumstances may occasion the
premature shriveling Of leaves or the
nondevelopment Of tree, and it would
perhaps be well to wait the results of
pending scientific inquiry before ex-
pressing any definite opinion on the
subject. Most assuredly the parks,
gardens and avenues of Paris are. as
the president Of the commission as
serts. worth protecting, and it is sat
isfactory to have his word for 1t that
they shall be protected, even If the
tarring of roads has to be prohibited.
In such an eventuality in need not
necessarily follow that no other dust
preventing medium could be found.
Road engineers, in fact. are already
turning their attention to the matter
and are seeking means to attain the
same result without mourning the risk
of preventing the growth Of trees. sup
posing the accusation brought against
tar be substantiated.- Stand

PROGRESSIVE PARTY
CALLED.
Teddy Supporters Will Gather at Chi
cago August 5.-Dixon Makes
Move.

New York, July IA call to the
people of the United States who are in
sympathy with the national progress
siye movement" to send delegates to
a national convention to open at Chi
cago August 5, was given out this aft
ernoon by United States Senator
Joseph M. Dixon of Montana, Theo-
dore Roosevelt's campaign manager.
The call is signed by members of the
committee chosen at a preliminary
meeting held in Chicago and includes
signatures of Roosevelt followers in
forty states,
The territories have no place in
national convention and will not be
considered declared Senator Dixon in
commenting on the signatures. 'sAs for
the missing eight states, the most of
them probably will send delegates, al
though they have not taken part in
the call.
Maine, for instance, postponed any
definite action because there is a
strong fight on in the primaries with
the sympathy running in favor of the
progressive movement. Delaware,
North Carolina, Arkansas and Nevada
probably will take part in the conven-
tion Mississippi and South Carolina
may possibly be unrepresented.
THE call lays down no rules as to
the methods of choosing delegates
since each state will be expected to
select its delegates by its own para
phernalia. The representation will be
cut down to just one half that of the
previous conventions This was con-
sidered advisable since this conven-
ton is notably to be a deliberatiye
body and will certainly be composed
of class of men altogether different
from those who usually attend eonven-
tions.
In all probability the convention
will adopt the name National Progress
sive' for the new party, but cannot
say definitely what will be done. Thus
far no issues have beensauthoritatively
stated"

ATHLETIC EVENTS
James Thorpe, Carlisle Student, Cap
lures First in PenthathIon-Ameri-
cans in the Lead.

Stockholm, Sweden, July flames
Thorpe of Prague, Okla, student Of the
Carlisle Indian school, was the hero
OF the Olympic events here Sunday,
when he captured first place in the
penthathlon events, comprising the
running broad jump, throwing the jaw
elm best hand, 200 meters fiat race,
throwing the discus best hand, and
the 1900 meters fiat race. His score
was points; F. G. Bic of Norway

Brundage of Chicago Athletic associa-
tion, and Frank Lukeman of Quebec
tied for third, with "a points, Brun-
dage being placed third; James j.
Donoghue of Los Angeles Athletic
club scored 26 points, and J A. Menaul
of the University of Chicago % points.
Thorpe's records in the running

ters; in the 20O-meter race, % seconds;
throwing the discus, 35 meters 81 cen
timeters; 1900 meter race, four min

The Americans almost made sweep
of the track and field events, and R. c.
Craig of Detroit, former athlete of the
University of Michigan, won the finals
of the 10O-meter race by a pretty burst
of speed at the finish. His time was
10 ga seconds.
