The Unspeakable Turk.
From the London Chronicle.

FrOm the LOnuOn OnrOnICIe.
We have all heard of "the unspeakable
Turk" but who was 1t that first coined
the phrase? "Mr. Gladstone" said one
writer yesterday, did not mean nothing
when he talked of the unspeakable
Turk" But its coiner was Carlyle. who
used it in a letter to the press about the
time-1S76-when the Bulgarian atrocities
controversy was at its height. On the
other hand, Mr.. Gladstone. in his PAM
phlet on Bulgarian Horrors and the
Question of the East insisted that the
only way to secure<any permanent good
for the Christian provinces of Turkey
was to turn the Turkish officials bag
and baggage out Of them.

HIGHWAYS OUTSIDE
NEW YORK ARE BAD
Construction and Repair Work
InterfereS With Auto
mobi|ing.

| More of the through highways leading
out of New York city have been inter-
fered with by new construction and re-
pair work this season than ever before.
This has naturally been a serious incon-
venience to ong-distance tourists. but
as the season advances a number of the
most important contracts are being COM
pleted, and gradually many of the roads
| that were closed earlier in the season
are open, or, at least. may be Travelled
with much less trouble and delay than
heretofore.
According to the A. A. A. touring in
formation bureau, it is now desirable to
continue straight through from Fonda
to Palatine bridge, or vice versa, in MAX
ing the run through the Mohawk valley
between Albany and Buffalo. Earlier in
the season it was necessary to cross 70
the south side of the Mohawk river, and
take q poor road the entire distance be-
tween these towns. Now, however, the
work has sufficiently progressed as to
justify going through the unfinished por-
Of the work now about three-quarters
complete.
Detours Not Necessary.
On the shore line out from New York
to Bridgeport and New Haven great diff
ficulty has been experienced by tourists
owing to several miles of road construc-
ton and repair between New Rochelle,
Mamaroneck, Rye and Portchester A
considerable proportion of this has Just
been finished and thrown open to travel,
and, while the work Is not complete the
number of detours have sufficiently lessen
en- to justify going that way instead of by
the much longer route through White
Plains.
The former long detour above Pawling
on the way to the Berkshires has also
been shortened to a relatively short de-
tour, and tourists are now using that
route to a greater extent.
While much less than the expected prog
ress has been made in repairing the
road north of Peekskill through Garrison
and Cold Spring, that stretch will not he
as bad during the balance of the season
as 1t was in the spring and early sum-
mer. With care tourists can drive over
the two and one-half miles of bad road
without seriously interrupting their sched-
ule- Meanwhile the work in process be-
tween Salisbury, Conn.,. and South Eyre
mont, Mass, on the regular route from
New York through Pawling to Great Bar
rington and Pittsfield, has been largely
completed, and can be used without en-
countering the difficulties of few weeks
ago. During the balance of the season
tourists will be able to secure the ad-
vantages Of the work already done or
about to be finished this year, and 1t Is
quite likely that there will be more than
the average amount Of fall touring.

CONCRETE OUTWEARS
WATERBOUND MACADAM
Latter Roads Unable to Stand
Heavy and Fast
Traffic.

"Waterbound macadam roads. which
for practically a century have been ade-
quate for the traffic. have now, under the
new conditions, become obsolete, and
their futher construction means a serious
waste of public funds is the opinion OF
former President Lewis r. Speare of the
American Automobile Association.
"Macaddm may answer for side roads
and crossroads, where there is little
travel to wear the surface into dust. and
few fast-moving vehicles to throw the
dust into the air to be blown away. But
for main roads. anywhere and every
where, a method OF construction must be
put in operation which will produce dur
able roads.
wherever it can be used concrete
makes q most excellent road. or a road
base for some other kind of surface.
The state of California has adopted con-
crete construction for practically its en-
tire system of state highways, after a
most thorough investigation. Wayne
county, Mich. has been building concrete
roads for the past five years. and they
have given most excellent satisfaction.

est strain. In this type of sections the
sharp corners or angular relations Of ad-
1acent interior surfaces are avoided.
Therefore in the strain incident to the
compression of the section in the use of
the tire there is uniform yielding and
bending of the material, and the ten
dency to fracture. otherwise incident to
sharp corners, is entirely avoided.
In this construction the inventor pro-
vides non-infiatable inner tube that is
arranged on the inside of any usual or
preferred type of outer casing, one that
does not in any way require initiation or
other attention to provide the desired res
iliency, and one which by reason of such
advantage is certainly free Of liability

troubles, which are incident to the usual

though we have some fine indi- vidual specimens.
 In hogs Arkansas is not so far behind, notwithstanding the re- puted 'razorback". Arkansas has some real classy, high bred hogs, in most all breeds. You see it don't take so long to breed up the hogs. We have lots of the scrub variety, but they can be bred out of existence in a year or two, while it is not so with horses and cattle.
 1 want to see Arkansas move up in the stock line. We need stock improvement; we must have it. Let's all push and pull together to get it, and begin right now. A good way to begin is to start a crusade against the impure bred males. We need a registration for males. All males for breeding purposes should be registered with the Agricultural Department or some other place, and a license be paid before service could be rendered, and the scrubs should not be allowed to be registered or licensed to render service at all.
 In the case of horses and cat tie veterinary's certificate should be required, to show that the animals are free from hered- itary disease or physical def- ciencies of importance. By the registration and license system

the half breeds and grades would soon be eliminated, and we would have in a few years mostly pure bred stock. Then stock raising would take a boom that would bring Arkansas to the front in quick time. The higher the val ue of product, no matter what it is, the greater will be the in- terest taken in it. It certainly is true of live stock. eLt's inn prove it the next year.

Live Stock Improvement.

Arkansas is not up to the standard, or even the average, in good stock. It might be urg- ed that it is not good advertis- ing to make such an admission. If the statement were made for advertising purposes, it would not be good; but it is not. By all means we shouldn't fool our selves.
 The first step to stock im- provement is to realize the need of it. We have some good stock in different parts of the state, some that is real classy in fact but we haven't enough. Arkan- sas has some fine horses, real good ones. It would be a revela- tion to lots of folks to see ala
 fine, blooded horses in Arkansas in show ring. If we had one good blooded stallion in each neighborhood, it would mean a vast improvement in horses in five years. But we must take some steps to get rid of the "scrub" and grade" stallions. The half and quarter breeds are not fit for breeding purposes and should be eliminated.
 There is equally as much room for improvement in cattle. We have but few dairy COWS with notable records as milk or butter producers. Other states have plenty of COWS that produce more than 30 pounds of butter per week. We haven't them Ill Arkansas. The beef type cattle are not up to the average either,
