TESTING PAVEMENT.
ISioux City Tribune.l

GSioux City Tribune.]
There is always the greatest discus
sion concerning the relative merits OF
the different sorts Of pavement and
city engineers and council committees
are constantly travelling about the
country making Investigations, taking
photographs and securing cost data
upon the several sorts.
The city Of Detroit, tired OF this
method, has had machine built like
a great drill press, but the cutting tools
are replaced by two long arms upon
the end of which are placed wheels OF
any size and width Of tire desired and
up the rims are horse shoes spaced
the distance of the average step OF
horse The weight wanted upon the
wheels for the purpose OF the test IS
placed upon them by the machinery
and they run over spiral track OF
pavement, automatically varying their
track over space of two feet.
Every kind of pavement recon-
mended or considered is placed under
a gruelling test by this machine. which
conforms in it's operating to actual
service conditions and no longer can
pavement be laid upon the say SO OF
any person or the experience OF any
other city. It must stand the test of
the testing machine Of the city of De-
tro1r.
Instead Of sending our committees
and engineers to number of cities. we
can hereafter send them direct to the
school of paving" at Detroit and there
find exact facts, systematically cata-
Logged. from which Intelligent deduc-
tons may be made.

censes levied and collected by counties
is that the very dispersion of good
roads funds against which the present
protest 10 made would be still further
emphasized and encouraged.
The change should be exactly the
other way; the money should be paid
into the state treasurey and should be
paid out Of the state treasury only for
permanent road work.
1t Is, Of course, unjust that the au-
tomobile tax should be distributed by
counties without any regard to where
the tax Is paid. But the cure Tor that
is not giving each county the tax that
is paid in that county. The cure Is TAX
ing all automobile taxes for state use
on the roads.
Under a policy OF scattering road
funds Of one sort or another by coun-
ties and road districts Iowa is collect
ing and paying out over 100000 a
year.
We have gone as far in that direc-
ton as we should ever go.

DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.

So common is the use of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that 1t is
the cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of a new beverage that is
wholesome as well as pleasant to
drink She writes:
Il am 40 years old and all my life.

know that coffee was causing the trou-

Bio Sleep.

A middle-aged couple were prepar-
Ing to leave for a weekend with a
daughter in the city, and their last in
structions to their grown-up son, who
was a heavy sleeper, were to be sure
and wind his alarm clock, SO that he
would be in time for his work the next
morning.
Monday noon they got back to the
house and were surprised to find the
blinds closed exactly as they had been
left the Friday previous on their de-
parture. AS they let themselves into
the house they heard their sons voice
coming sleepily from his bedroom:
What's the matter? Did you miss

Mrs. Stanford sends greeting to Walter
Washburn and would be pleased to have
the honor Of his company for dinner at
o'clock on Thursday, November the 18th,
in the year Of our Lord 173-.
Mrs. Stanford was a widow thir-
ty-eight years old and of very pleasing
appearance. There was but here and
there q single gray hair in her head,
her complexion was florid, her eye was
soft brown, and altogether she was
goodly to look upon by man who had
passed twoscore years and five.
Walter Washburn had offered him.
self to Mrs. Stanford, but that lady,
though she admired him for his stall
wart form and his prowess-for he
had distinguished himself in the In
dian wars in the colony-was not mind
ed to take for a partner one who was
not possessed of worldly goods. So
she declined Mr.. Washburn's offer.
with many thanks, for the honor he
would have conferred upon her.
Now, the widow had daughter,
Faithful, half her age and the repro
duction of her mother as that mother
