NEED OF CARPETS FOR ROADS
English Expert Recommends Use o.
an "EIastlc Skin" on the
Highways.

A lecture was recently delivered by
member Of the board before the
Royal Institute of London on "ThS
Road-Past, Present and Future" 40
cording to Consular and Trade Re
ports. The lecturer said the problem
was to find the best mode by which
road should be constructed so that ita
surface would not be broken by trat.
fic, 80 that the transit might be easier
for both passengers and goods, road
which would form neither puddle
holes nor exude mud from vehicles
and create no dust when the weather
was dry.
One thing was universally recog'
nized, that the road OF the future
should be truly bound road In which,
whatever kind Of stone was used, the
stone should be held together so that
it would form crust The lecturer
suggested that what he called car
pet or an elastic skin should be adopt
ed as the covering.
The carpet, he thought, should be
made of bituminous material mixed
with sand and placed on the roads In
various thicknesses. according to the
nature Of the traffic. 1t should go on
in liquid form. solidifying quickly. but
always remaining resilient and COM
pressible, and so migrating with the
crust OF the surface below.
The advantage OF such carpet. It
was said. would be to permanently
protect the crust, and. just as a carpet
on the floor softens the STEP so would
this carpet for the roads silence the
noise and reduce the shock OF rolling
vehicles. 1t was admitted that the Or
iginal cost of road so laid would be
more than that OF mud bound road.
but spreading the cost over series
of years 1t would probably not be so
great, since the crust of the road It.
self would not have to be renewed.

WHY THE MEAL WAS HALTED
Nothing Seriously Wrong, but Old
Gentleman Had Some Trouble
With the Elusive Onion.

An aged country couple. on the
urgent invitation Of a grandson who
lived in the city, were on for visit.
The grandsons wife was very anxious
that the first meal should be one
which the aged couple would enjoy
after their long ride in the train, and
accordingly the table groaned under
its burden of good things to eat.
In the course Of the repast she no
uced several times that the old man
seemed to be making little progress
with the meal
What is the matter, grandfather"
she asked, don't you like my din
ner?"
mo, no, grandfather" mumbled
the old man, ut isn't that. Only I've

Hit the Dancer Spot.

A tippler with very red nose got
a days work as laborer in boiler
works. The same day he appeared
before the surgeon at the hospital
with his nose smashed.
Good gracious!" exclaimed the sur
geon. "How did you manage to get
your nose smashed like that?"
"Oh, cried the sufferer, Il put my
nose through hole in the boiler for
a sniff of fresh air, ard the man out
side with the hammer mistook it for
a red-hot rivet. And he only hit once
that's all"

"Hey?" Nat had started to go, but
now he paused and turned. There was

he repeated. "Why, ye-es, | don't

In the workshop Of Hallet & Co.
Keziah sat sewing busily. The win
dow near her was closed, stuck fast,
and through the dingy panes she
could see only roofs and chimneys.
The other women and girls near her
chatted and laughed, but she was ST.
lent. She did not feel like talking,
certainly not like laughing. The gar
ment she was at work on was a coat,
a wedding coat, so the foreman had
told her, with a smile; therefore she
must be very particular. The narrow
stairway leading up to the workshop
ended in little boxed-in room where
the finished garments were hung to
await the final pressing. From be-
hind the closed door of this room
came the sound of voices, apparently
in heated argument. One Of these
voices was that of Larry, the errand
boy. Larry was speaking shrilly and
with emphasis. The other voice was
lower in key and the words were in.
audible.
mo. sir, you can't" declared Larry.
you can't, tell you. The boss don't
let nobody in there and Hold on!
Hold on!"
The other voice made a short but
evidently earnest answer. Larry again
expostulated. The workers looked up
from their sewing. The door opened
and Larry appeared, flushed and ex-

note through and then, without a

The note was as follows:

"KEZIAH COFFIN"
The captain stared at the note. Then
he threw 1t to the floor and started
for the door. The minister sprane
from his chair and called to him.

Eyes. Fact is, Mr.. Stone, I want
to ask you where can find Mrs. Ke-

lately. Only yesterday or the day

is?"

"Oh. for reasons, personal ones.
She's friend of mine"
II see. No, captain, can't tell you
where she is. Good morning."
Captain Nat was greatly disappoint-
ed.

begged This is important, you I'M
derstand, Mr. Stone. I'm mighty anx-
ious to find Kezi-Mrs. Coffin. We
thought, some of her friends and |,
that most likely you'd know where
she was. Can't you give us any help
at all? Hasn't she been here?"
Good morning. Captain Hammond.
You must excuse me. I'm busy"
He went into the office and closed
the door. Captain Nat rubbed his
forehead desperately. He had been
almost sure that Abner Stone would
put him on Keziah's track. Grace had
thought so, too. She remembered
what the housekeeper had told con-
corning her Boston cousin and how
the latter had found employment for
her when she contemplated leaving
Trumet, after her brothers death.
Grace believed that Keziah would go
to him at once.
Nat walked to the door and stood
there. trying to think what to do next.
A smart young person, wearing con-
spicuous suit of clothes, aided and
abetted by vivid waistcoat and
pair Of youthful but promising side
whiskers, came briskly along the side
walk and stopped in front Of him.

Captain Nat turned his gaze upon
the side whiskers and the waistcoat.
"Hey?" he queried.
