Indeed, German inventor has
proved that one-half the cellar air is
found in the first story. onethird in

so on. which impelis US to think OF
the cellar as a reservoir of air for the
entire house. A good coat of lime
Whitewash should be applied every
spring, No decaying vegetables or
rubbish of any kind should be stored
there The cellar bottom and sides
should be preferably of concrete.
Where coal is stored it should be light

be SO constructed that through no

Good Roads Statistics.
NO MORE WORK.

III bSSlOH 1tAilSSIlpI
That there are upwards of $500, ooo, 900
OF good roads bonds issued and out
standing in this country is indicated by
the Good Roads Year Book of the
United States, the 1918 edition OF which
has just been issued, containing a re-
sumo OF the whole road situation. It
is evident that whatever may be the
faults in Methods of construction
and maintenance, money is being spent
In sufficient amount to bring about a
vast improvement In the public roads.
The year book shows S137, 600, 900 of
state and road bonds authorized, and
$l56, SOC, 900 of county bonds outstanding
on January l, 1913, making a total OF
S2sS, 500, 900. AS this is based on reports
from about rs per cent of the counties
in h United States, and as a large
number of the Individual townships
nave not reported, it is estimated that
the amounts not reported would run
the aggregate up to probably $3.50, 000,-
900 to which should be added $40, coo, 900
or Sl5,oo0,0 900 Of the bonds voted in 1912
which have not yet been issued.

per cent or a net gain of LA per cent.
This does not sound so impressive in
terms of percentage but it means that
IN the two-year period more than 34,-

structed or 10, 600 miles more than the
entire mileage of national roads IN
