EUROPE'S GOOD ROADS
Regarded as Economic Factor oil
Life and Not a Fad.
Legacy Left by Romans Has Been
husbanded and Has Added to
Prosperity of France-Aus-
tria 10 Close Second.

The wide interest that the road
question has for all classes in Europe
is remarkable, and it Is this unity OF
purpose that builds on the network
legacy left by the Romans, Frances
Milton writes in the Scientific Amer.
ican. Since that time, and that of the
Henris and the Louises. to whom
were due much of the elements OF
beauty that compose the French road
system today, particularly with re.
spect to tree planting alongside, and
since the later day of the military
road making genius of Napoleon much
has been undertaken in the way OF re-
fnement which has produced, If not
an actual money return, at least a
prosperity which would otherwise
have been unknown.
To be just there are as good roads
In the United States today as in
France. In top dressing, in c6mport
with the needs Of the new locomotion,
according to any one of the four or
five methods commonly made use of
In America, results are superior even
to anything yet achieved in Europe.
Brick is found on some roads Of
Holland, but it dates from before the
motor car era, before even that fa
nous pavement of Terre Haute, Ind.
owning already to some twenty years
and still good. Great claims of dura-
bility are made for brick. and If these
two examples have any weight, the
thing would seem to be worth some
thing. In France there is famous
stretch Of Route Rationale in the
south, near Marseilles. Straight as
an arrow, fiat as billiard table and
smooth as marble, with a row OF
windbreak Expresses on the north,
which in the writer's opinion is the
nearly ideal roadway. French ma,
tional, departmental and communal
roads. as class, are the best In the
world
In the French Alps are the finest
mountain roads in Europe, far and
on all counts. Many OF them were
due to the genius of Napoleon and his
military road builders, and If their
main purpose In times past was stra-
tegic, today they are essentially prac-
teal.
The mountain roads of Austria are
close second. particularly when 1t
comes to considering them from the
point of view of the motor car.
Italy has a nationalized roads sys-
tenn SO has Belgium, Austria and
most of the German confederation.
The first three meet the situation but

SMOKING AND HEALTH

Those who smoke in moderation
have a far better chance of resisting
disease than those who do not smoke
at all
Definite experiments have recently
been made which show that tobacco
smoke rapidly destroys in particular
the comma bacillus of cholera.
A good many years ago, says the
Lancet, it was reported by the senior
medical officer of Greenwich work
house that the tobacco smoking in
mates enjoyed comparative immunity
from epidemics.
During cholera epidemic at Ham
burg it was reported that not single
workman engaged in the cigar factory
In that city was attacked by the dis
ease. Later 1t was stated that
amongst body of 5000 cigarmakers
only eight cases and four deaths from
cholera occurred.
Tobacco smoke has destroyed the
bacilli OF Asiatic cholera as we'll as
imonia, and there is evidence that
d. as been preventive of some forms
of nasal catarrh.
| Excessive tobacco smoking, of
course, may easily give rise to consti-
! tutional effects which diminish the re-
sisting power of the body to disease.
in which case 1T is probable the habit
would afford not only no protection,
but an opening for INVASION

SUITABLE SOIL FOR ONIONS
Irrigation Must Be Evenly Plenti-
full Throughout Season.

The best all around soil for onions

Some folks like to get their onion
seeding done In February and the plan

the temperature remains low it may
require some time for the seel to ger
inmate. but 1t will come on with the
first warm days and thus get an early
start. In drilling the see great care
should be taken not to get it too deep.
Three-fourths to one inch is probably
the best depth to get good stand.
By this method of, starting the seed,
1t will be necessary to thin in the
row as soon as the little sets are large
enough. Thin as early as possible.
The seedlings can be thinned when
they are twice the size of match.
AS rule, under our irrigation condi-
tons the thinning is rather expensive
but 1t has to be done so as to leave
the permanent plants four inches
apart in the f1fteen-inch rows. 1t is
quite necessary to do the thinning
early to destroy the weed growth
which is bound to come in to inter
fere with the growth. The onion
plants need all the ground and mois-
ture.

WHERE is GARDEN OF EOEN7

Forty miles west of old Bagdad, in
Euphrates. near Hit. OF the Hittites.
lies the traditional Garden OF Eden
Such is the interesting conclusion of
Sir VIZ am Willcocks. the famous
Egyptia. engineer and Bible student
and many other authorities agree
with him
"Out OF Eden came a river which
watered garden, and from thence IL
was parted and became four rivers"
And these four rivers, known in Bible
days as the Pison. Gihon. Hiddekel
and Euphrates-the ancient River Of
Babylon"-have been identified by
Sir William
1t was while studying. surveying
and mapping Chaldea previous to
starting work on the giant irrigation
scheme planned for Mesopotamia,
that Willcocks became convinced
that the real Garden OF Eden lay in
the region described.
The Garden of Eden lies away over
in Turkish Arabia, too far from the
beaten tourist trail to draw many
sightseers. Probably not dozen
white travellers see 1t In whole year.
To reach Chaldea the safest and sur
est route lies through the Suez. over
Pharaohs bones In the Red Sea.
through the Straits of Bah el-Mandeb,
up the hot Persian Gulf, and thence
500 miles along the winding Tigris
and Euphrates.

MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROADS

the state legislatures are considering
good road legislation. In connection
with the general impetus that the good

the office of public highways says:

for the roads after they are built. This
is true not only in the various coun-
ties, but under many of our state high

ITO maintain the roads In good con-
dition year after year requires a con-
siderable annual outlay but this out

which must fall upon the people event

NOW THE "ELECTRlC SLEEP"

Electric sleep. to be turned on" or
turned off, at will, is the alluring
promise held out to sufferers from
sleeplessness by DR.. Nagelschmidt, a
German physician.
SO far electric sleep has been pro-
duced only in rabbits and dogs. but
the experiments on animals have been
so free from ill-effects that DR.. Nagel-
schmidt thinks human beings can be
subjected to the same treatment with
out danger.
DR.. Nagelschmidt asserts that his
new method also has the power to
eliminate pain in any portion Of the
human body A condition is produced
in which pinpricks. or even the in
cisions of the surgeons knife, are not
felt so long as the patient remains in
an electrified state.
