PATROL SYSTEM IN VIRGINIA
Experiments Made by Public Roads
Office Of Department Of Asrlcui-
ture on Earth Roads.

The office of public roads of the
department Of agriculture has been
making experiments on an eight-mile
stretch of road in Virginia to demon
strate the results that may be OBJ
tanned on country earth roads by con-
tinuous work under a patrol system.
A patrolman was employed to furnish
a horse, cart and small tools, and
he was supplied with a road drag
built of plank and required to fur
nish two horses to drag the road when
ever it was in suitable condition for
dragging, usually following each rain.
The use OF the road drag has great
ly improved the daily condition OF the
road and rendered II smooth and com
Portable for travel for greatly in
creased number OF days in bad wealth
er, The department expects to con-
tlnue the experiment this year, for ii
is already apparent that the entire
eight miles of road will show remark
able improvement under the system

Stanford White, a wealthy New
York architect, in Madison
Square Garden some years ago.
Harry was in love with Evelyn
Nesbitt, with whom he had TAX
en- a tour Of Europe before he
married her. He was an heir to
millions and this fact gave him
prestige. He thought himself
invincible and for that reason he
though to avenge the alleged
wrongs his wife had suffered at
the hands of White before he
met her. Evelyn claimed that
when she was mere girl that
White had enticed her to his of.
fees and drugged her. That has
always been a mooted question.
Was she drugged with drugs,
or was she drugged with money
or the promise of social prefer
ment? At any rate she never
denied her improper relations
with White, and her account of
the drugging has always been
taken, by sensible people, with a
liberal sprinkling Of salt,
Evelyn now claims that Thaw
killed White because of his rela.

they both had known previous tc
her meeting with Thaw. In 9th.

not the real cause of the tragedy
Be that as it may, she has al

She is now on the stage. He
audiences are composed largely o
the depraved sensation seekers

comes of Thaw if the vile history
of him, Evelyn and White coulC
be buried in oblivion and then

GOOD ROADS NATIONAL ISSUE
Congressman Borland Of Missouri
Says It Is One of Biggest Ques-
tions Facing People.

OF the addresses given at the recent
Federal Aid convention Washington,
called by the National Good Roads
board, none contained more compre'
hensive summing up of the situation
than the remarks of Representative
William P. Borland of Missouri, who,
among other things, said;
~ believe that the good road ques-
tlon is the biggest question, without
exception, now facing the American
people. In congress, we are trying
earnestly and sincerely to deal with
this problem of the extent and char
acter of federal control and federal
aid to good roads. There are difficult
lies confronting US.
Some of us believe in a continuous
system of roads; roads that go some
where; roads that give US the benefit
Of the scientific progress of engineer
ing skill that has been developed In
connection with road building. We be.
lleve that federal aid, II II comes at
all-and 1t must come-must mean a
better type of roads, long roads. roads
of higher class, roads OF O more per
manent character roads that go some
where, roads that mean something in
the development Of the country.
II want to say to you frankly, that
the easiest proposition to get through
any legislative body is not PROPOSE
tion that really means bettaFment; but
a proposition that distributes its little
advantages as widely as possible. If
we could take little federal money,
or a good deal of federal money, or
as much federal money as we could
lay our hands on, whatever the amount
might be, and spread it out over every
road district in the United States, and
put it in the hands Of lhe existing
road overseers for the exiting system
of roads, and not ask AZ hing in re.
turn, we could get the greatest ap
plause and the most tremendous
unanimity of opinion back of 1t that
any legislative proposition could pos
sibly get. There Is no doubt about
that
But here is the idea that must occur
to every thinking man. We do not
have to improve the 2,150,00 miles OF
highways in the United. States. That
need not stagger any mans imaglna
ton. Experience has shown at tn
very threshold of this subject, that SO
per cent. of the traffic on roads goes
over less than ten per cent. of the
roads. If we had a system OF good
roads leading fairly into every section
of the country, within the reasonable
reach of the majority of the citizens
and producers and tax payers of the
country, that system would be vast
advantage over the present system oI
isolated local control of highways.
III we can bring that about by O
spirit of self.sacrifce and cooperation
not necessarily with any stubborn
ness or pride OF opinion-but If we car
get together on the idea that ii is bet
ter to have some good roads than 1t is
is to have no good roads, then we will
all get behind some proposition and
accomplish something for good roads
and 1t is going to take that spirit oi
cooperation and self-sacrlfice to bring
about legislation
