The Repair And Maintenance Of
Earth Roads

country road after a shower you
will see small puddles along the
wheel ruts and sometimes large:
pools. The water stays on the
road surface because it cannot
drain away into the side bitches.
If you look closely you will see
side bitches which have grown up
with bushes and weeds in many
cases, and which are so far from
the travelled part of the road that
the rain water does not drain into
them. That part of the roadway
where the wagons travel is called
the travelled way. To prevent
water from standing on the ira
veled way the road sould be raised
in the center and should slope
gently into broad shallow bitches.
1t is then said to have Il crown.
If it is 10 feet from the center of
the road to the side ditch, the
surface at the side ditch should be
at least 10 inches lower than it is
at the center where the horses ira
vel. The road then has Il 10-inch
crown. The rain that falls on a
road properly crowned will run
quickly to the side and not soak
into the surface or form pools.
The side bitches for surface wat
err should run parallel to the right
of way, and should be opened at
every low point so that the water
can run out Of them into neighbor-
ing brooks or streams. If the
bitches merely collect the water
from the road surface and it can
not run away, large pools will be
formed along the roadside, which
will gradually soak beneath the
road and make it so soft that the
wheels of wagons will cut through
the road surface and soon destroy
it.
Sometimes water runs from land
along the road into the road and
forms Il little streams down the
wheel tracks or in the middle
where the horses travel. Wher
driveways into farm yards are
built across the side bitches they
frequently form channels for wa
ter from the farm yard to run into
the road. The pipes under drive
ways become filled with leaves OF
rubbish and the water can M
longer run away. If the drive
ways that stop the ditch watcl
were rebuilt so that no pipes wcr,
necessary and the ditch could b,
left open, much trouble from sur
face water would be stopped.
Sometimes Il road runs acros
low ground or througha a swami
where the road cannot be drained
by side bitches alone. If the roat
were built higher like railroad
em5ankment across such low lane
and made with crown, it woult
be dry and hard. Sometimes I.

earth has been dug out SO tha

which always flows quietly unde

as ground water. In road cut
such water sometimes makes tn
road very muddy, and the road thel
needs what road builders cal

underdrainage is trench to g,

about three feet deep and d foot ant
a half wide. In this trench pip

with loose stones no bigger than AZ

FEED THE BIRDS THIS WINTER.
Harrisburg, Jan. 25.


Dear Editor:
l write you to-day relative to the
feeding of our wild birds and hope
you may see your way to a publica-
tion of this appeal.
Winter, with all that it means, has
come. Bob White has run the
gauntlet between long lines of enc
mics, and is now called upon to face
the worst of all-starvation. He
may be in good shape today, but
soon the SHOWS will have shortened
his good supply, reducing his vi
tality, so that when the cold rains
begin he will not be disposed to VEN
ture out for the first twenty-four
hours, even though his stomach be
nearly empty, but will sit huddled
with his friends in some point of
shelter until the first day is past,
and then on the second day, driven
by hunger, he faces the storm, Sc
curing no more food perhaps than
before the rain began; and then
with every feather dripping, chilled
to the bone, with an empty stomach,
and still more greatly reduced vi
tality, he huddles with his little
family, for the last time, to die, to
| freeze, or to be smothered by the
SllONO. Ills GuIlIS DdIu w dy
along Life's journey is marked only
by good deeds to men. Wont you,
who may read this, try to help him
in this his hour of distress and need?
You are perhaps wasting every hour
more than enough to keep Bob and
his entire family in food the year
around. 1 beg of you to hunt him
up and scatter feed where he can get
it. One bushel of grain placed
where he can find it means more
to him now than does all the kind
words that may be uttered in cen
tury. Put yourself in Bob's place
and think of what winter means to
! him.
What applies to the quail, may
also be said of the wild turkey, and
| all out winter birds. 1 beg of you,
no matter what your position in life
may be, to help feed the birds. If
you can not do the work yourself,
get some one to do it for you.
Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH KALBFUS,
Secretary, Game Commission.

EASTERN MIDLAND r.. r.. co

That Port Jervis may become an
important railroad center, the con-
Meeting point in line to run from
Philadelphia up the Delaware VAL
ley from the Water Gap to that city
and thence to follow the Ontario q
Western and affiliated lines into Mon
treal, Canada, is the latest railroad
dream or scheme. The thing has
considerable backing in fact also.
A Harrisburg, Pa, item says a
state charter was issued on Jan. 10
for the Eastern Midland Railroad
Company to operate between Mata-
moras and the Delaware Water Gap,
with a capital Of 100000. This is
the first published intimation of the
project which residents of Pike coun
ty have been puzzling themselves
over for some time. The puzzling
has been started by surveyors who
have been working in the county.
What they were working for or who
they were working for has been a
mystery which this item seems to
solve.-Union,

THE NEW BAGS.
More Affair the Latest In These USE
full Accessories.

Moire Affair the Latest In These USE
full Accessories.
The very newest idea in bags is the
moire bag. There are all sorts and
shapes of moire bags, ranging from the
small oblOng purses to the large bags
deliberately fitted out with mirror and
all the vanity fixings. A handsome
bag in black moire opens very wide, re-
vealing at glance the contents of the
entire bag On one side there is Il mir
ror resting against the soft white silk
lining and in the side pockets the
cardcase, change purse and other ne
cessities. Such a bag can be purchased
for SIS.
A large round bag in black moire is
edged with an inch plating Of the
moire Another very much smaller bag
has deep pleating of the moire. The
monogram should be stamped in one
corner and outlined in rhinestones.
To slip into the muffs there are long
oblong purses in MORE with the tleXi-
bic gold or platinum frames. These
are really a development of the cigar
and cigarette cases which pleased the
men 50 hugely two or three years ago.
The MORE purses have the advantage
over the fur purses of the same shape
in that they can be carried with the
spring suit. The old fashioned reti-
cule with the openings at either end
is now fashioned in moire and lined
with white silk. These moire ones are
newer than those in brocades and other
eastern stuffs which made their ap-
| pearance in the fall.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-01-28

The new spring blouseS are mark
ed change from winter models. We have
passed through various stages; we have
worn white with yelling, then net in
colors matching the shirt, and last win
ter we arrived at colored slips with net
transparencies in which the color was
again repeated, though the foundation
produced the kind of effect which we
called fuchsia color and wore with blue
or mauve, the blouse being of cerise
with an overveiling.
This indicated a change, for fashion
moves along certain lines which eXpe-
rience teaches one to calculate, and it
was easy to believe that the frankly
contrasting blouse, making no attempt
to harmonic iself, would be next in
succession. And so it has turned out.
A little while ago we thought this
style of dressing hopelessly de mode
and vulgar but there was a time when
we We're attached to it and de-
| lighted in the changes it allowed us to
ring on a modest wardrobe. With one
good black satin skirt and half a dozen
blouses any woman could be we'll and
economically dressed, and the idea was
good enough until we ran it to death
and got thoroughly sick of it.
Whether smart women will take kind
| ly to it again remains to be seen. The
gown of prune satin illustrated is one
Of the draped spring models which are
both simple and elegant.

submitted to the people in time to
have the necessary enabling act
passed before the adjournment of
the session now under way. Thus
the money would become available
this year. No scheme of increased
taxes would produce any appreciable
returns to the State Treasury for a
year or more, so that highway con-
struction could not be started before
the summer of 1914.
The impression here is that the
Legislature will not listen to any
substitute proposition, but will put
through without delay the Constitu-
tional amendment for bond issue.

Nonue For Net,

One of the latest novelties among the
lovely laces and the dainty robes of
broderie Anglaise for the slender pock-
etbook is the coarse net. The ward
robe can have nothing prettier than one
of the pretty slips Of string colored
fshermans net and lace. The coarse
net may be mounted over color, but ii
is really smartest when its foundation
is of the same tone, and this serves as
a relief for last summers washed out
gown. The trimming must be heavy
Venetian or guipure of fillet lace, and
there may be a girdle of black or col
ored ribbon.

The Newest Fad.

My lady's new boots are half black
and half white, the white portion being
on the outer side of the foot and the
black sides coming together over the
ankles. There is no division between
vamp and buttoned upper part, the
boot being, so to speak, a 'two gore
model, with seams down the center
front and back, and one gore is of
black calf and the other Of white buck
skin. The heels are white and also the
buttons, which run up the outer side of
the boot In a straight line.

DRESSING BY THE THERMOME.

UOJ1I II INIhIDT %,
Secretary, Game Commission

Interchangeable clothes, not the
changeable weather, are responsible
for much of the grippe and many of
the colds that are prevalent just
now. If people would use judgment
in the way they dress, they would
not be obliged to worry about every
rise or fall of the temperature.
Suit your clothing to the weather.
If you perspire in an overcoat on a
warm day it is likely that you will
be chilly the next day in the same
overcoat if the thermometer drops
towards zero. If it is moderate, do
not put on your Overcoat. Then
when it gets colder you will be able
to enjoy the effect of extra clothing.
When you go into a heated train,
take your overcoat off. If you are
Obliged to stay in warm Office even
for a short time, do not keep your
overcoat on. The temperature in
doors remains about the same all the
year round. Therefore, the extra
warmth is not needed. Don't wear
heavy underclothes. 1t is more i'm
portant to pay attention to the kind
of overcoat you put on than to use
the heaviest underwear in the mar
ket.
Do not wear zero clothing in a
70-degree temperature, for the heav-
ier clothes will do you little good
when the temperature falls. Com
mon sense in dress will save many
doctors bills.-Karl de Schweinitz,

Trezona ran like whirlwind and
outdistanced both of his opposition
together by several votes. This
was not the surprise of the day
however, John Schaefer who was
out for municipal judge furnished
the thrill of the occasion. Schaefer
had not been considered especially
strong and the "I-told-you-so"

was no opposition excepting the

majority.

the way the votes were cast. The
elected ticket is the one suggested
by the Ely Business Mems Asso-
