Automobile Industry's Growth Ha,
Revoluionized Construction on
Country Roads.

| The remarkable growth of the automo-
bile industry in the last few years has
revolutionized bridge building on country
roads, according to Stewart Mcdonald,
vice president Of the Moon -Moter Car
Company, who took a trip recently to
New York in a Moon light six.
For more than 100 years wooden
bridges and wooden coverings over cul-
verts have been adequate for the trafilc
of country roads" said Mr.. Mcdonald.
But the tremendous vibration that Is set
up in these structures from heavy auto
mobiles passing over them has taught
the road builder of today that the wooden
bridge has served its time.
In many places in the country where
the roads are being worked concrete cul-
verts are being put in. At many points.

rickety wooden bridges, on our recent

washouts and bridges were left unrepaired

America Not Unpatriotic.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The denunciation of the national hymn,
America" as unpatriotic and unworthy,
which was made at Buffalo the other day,
is based upon two grounds, neither of
them convincing.
The first is that the music il of Eng
lish origin. That Is true. But when a
Holstein clergyman wrote for that same
music words in honor of a Danish king.
Hell Dir i'm Siegerkranz" was adopted
as a German national song, and was pub
lished as a Berliner Folklied. A tune
which Beethoven and Weber esteemed
highly and used in several great compo-
sitions is surely not unworthy OF our use.
The second is that the land of the Pill
grirns pride means Land of religious
bigotry. blue laws, witch, burning, and
persecution. That is untrue It is an
ignorant confusion Of the pilgrims with
the Puritans.
We don't suppose that my Country,
'Tis Of Thee" will ever supplant The
Star Spangled Banner" and Hail Column
bia'' as official anthems. But far stronger
objections than those at Buffalo must be
made to 1t before it loses rank as one of
the best loved and most worthy Of Amer
ican national hymns.

An aspect Of the Rand strike which

In the last ten years the automobile

According to J. F. Hartz, president of

Studies for Future Machinista.
So far the most successful plan has been
to let the student spend his first year
wholly in high-school studies. The second
year he divides his time equally between
school and shop. working one week at his
school studies and the next In the auto
mobile plant.
Naturally, this work Is not compulsory,
as the young man does not have to select
his course until the beginning Of his
second year in high school At that time
he generally knows whether he is going
to prepare for college or business. and, IL
the latter. he usually selects the trade
course. This not only gives him good,
practical training. but also teaches him
the value Of money. as he is paid for the
work he does at the factory.
This cooperative educational plan has
been successfully carried ouf in a nurnhar
OF cities. In many cases the first-year
students We're found to be failures in
regular high-school work. but later on
showed a natural liking for the practical
work in the shop.
When they leave school these young
men find no difficulty in securing posi-
tons and commanding salaries of first.
class mechanics. There are a number of
men filling important positions in plants
who got their start in this way. They all
credit their success to the early training
and to the fact that they found out in the
beginning the vocation that was best
suited for them.
