FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer unearthed In Samoa and
: .." Hawaii, BY an AdmIrer.

1t IL learned that a number of new
and relatively important manuscripts
Of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer Of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
In both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings OF the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found In the pos
session of some of the many friends
Of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result Of this research has been
the finding of an essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
I'M in action, supposedly either the
famed crater Of Savaii or the pit OF
Kilauea in Hawaii: a piece Of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation Of a well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length. but
unfinished, has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
Of effort. @

CONCRETE HIGHWAYS
PROVING THEIR WORTH
From the Chicago Tribune.


In, Wayne county, Michigan, the people
are building concrete roads and the work
has attracted attention all over the coun-
try. A dispatch from Detroit says o
experts from all parts of the United
States are visiting Detroit in order to in
spect the model highways.
Detroit Is q center of automobile a n
~facture. naturally. there are many auto
mobiles In use. Tests Of various kinds Of
road material have been made, but the
concrete Is considered to be the best all
purpose highway and the roads which
have been built of 1t are regarded as the
climax OF practical. up-to-date road con-
Jtruction in the present generation. Wayne
| county can find nothing better.
More than 80 miles of the concrete road
have been completed and the cost Of up
keep Is said to be insignificant as COM
| pared with the macadamized highways.
The concrete roads are under heavy and
constant use, but the expense of main
tenance per year Is said to be less than
Is a mile. The detroit dispatch gives no
data as to the cost Of construction other
| tina to say It Is Comparatively low"
Presumably the concrete road is more ex-
pensive han macadam. but any increase
Of primary cost might be ~overbalanced by
the great saving in the outlay for main
tenance.
Experiments with concrete roads are be-
ing made In various cities by reason Of
The favorable reports that have gone
abroad as to the durability and general
excellence of the roads around Detroit.
II certainly seems worth While for road
builders everywhere to look into the adj
yantages. of concrete and to make some
use of II when feasible-at least in an ex-
detrimental way.

ELECTORAL REFORMS
URGED UPON FRANCE
Premier Poincare Explains At.
titude Of Government
Wants New System.
From the christian science Monitor.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
Paris, France - M. Potncare, the
prime minister and minister for foreign
affairs, explained the attitude OF the
government to the special commission
appointed by the Senate TO consider the
bill passed last summer for electoral
reform.
Referring to the bill for electoral re-
form on the basic of the scrutin de liste
md proportional representation, M
Poincare explained that from the point
OF view OF the government, h most
satisfactory method OF securing the
representation OF minorities Is to
enact that in q department which
elects I'VE, six, or seven deputies, each
party which has obtained one-ffth.
one-sixth or ~one-seventh OF the votes,
shall have the right to n seat.
He further explained, that the cab
met had come to the conclusion that
II would be impossible to and any other
system equally satisfactory, aithougr
It was possible that after the principle
had been adopted a simpler method
might be found of assigning the re-
mainder OF the seats than that OF the
bill passed by the chamber. Other
methods had. he said, been proposed by
the government, and they were per-
fectly ready to consider further pro-
posals. -
The prime minister hoped that the
would be pushed forward and
that It would be passed by a large re-
publican majority. He further declared
that IL the cabinet were determined to
support h and that IL II
were altered by the Senate to any
great extent, the cabinet would EN-
deavor to obtain as large a republican
support as possible, for they were de-
termined to fulfil their pledges to par
lament, and had decided to stake then
existence on the bill. .... wE

BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to BE Due to opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured in this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi.
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. r. Kebler,
Chief OF the Division OF Drugs, Depart,
ment or Agriculture. This statement,
concerning the appalling growth OF
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by Or. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study Of Alcohol and
Narcotics. % .
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent, in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use of opiates. Their
Oyerindulgence to their patients, he
said. is creating thousands Of drug
users every year.
1T il a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work In promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. state
laws are not saving the public from
the grip Of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss OF
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
The worst of it is that the impor'
tation OF opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. I have heard it said on reliable
authority that SO per cent. of the CO
came and morphine manufactured in
this country Is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb.
ler's address, DR.. j. A, Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan. in a public
statement said that 10 out Of every 20

A Young Farmers Splendid Fiqht.

In i recent issue OF Farm and Fire
side Herbert Quick, h editor of that
periodical, writes an interesting editor
ial showing how progress places a great
strain on people. He tells he follow
ing story:
"I know a young man who lived in a
. city until he had graduated from an
agricultural college. He worked, on
farms in vacations, and he did every
thing that a city man can do to learn
farming practically as well as theo~
retically. But he had not had the ad-
vantage the farm boy possesses Of
driving q team year after year n
listening to the discussion OF farm
problems about the hearth in q farm
home while q child. He went On O large
farm as tenant. Three hundred acrea
or land to be plowed, put into crops
tended and harvested. / visited hing
mer. Things looked badly. He ha.
made a lot of mistakes that an olo
farmer would never have made.
"T thought said he when / talked
to him Of the situation, that I knew
q great deal more about farming than
the neighbors about here, but I'm max
ing up my mind that / would be hun
dreds Of dollars better off this year II
I knew as much h ~15-year-old boys
/ OF the neighborhood. It'll take me
years to learn, the things that are Sec
ond nature to them
did he fail? BY no means. He
stuck to the farm, and is now success
full. He caught up in his knack of do
ing things. Gradually he pulled ahead
Of his neighbors. After a while the art
of doing things began to cooperate
with the scientific truths he had mas
tered, and none began to come into
his till, and recognition from his neigh
bors as the best farmer of them all
was no small part of his reward.
Now suppose that one of those old
farmers had been his father and the
owner of the farm. The strain of prog
ress would have been still more Sc
we're. My young friend had the right
to make his mistakes and suffer by
them, but dad might have refused him
that freedom. ..-
THE man with a son who is a COL
lege graduate should let the young man
put his ideas into effect, even though
Il seems to him that the new methods
are not so good as the old. Thus he
will relieve the strain OF progress. II
Is for the old to give way to the young
when 1t comes to the new knowledge.
The young may not know the how SO
well. but they have q better acquaint-
ance with the why. And I'm the long
run the why is most important"
