OIdtIme Perfumes

Perfumes were In common use IN
the ancient world, but views have
changed as to the pleasantness of va
rious odors. The smell Of aloes Is
now considered disagreeable by the
majority of people, but in the old days
aloes, both as solid extract and as
wood, formed staple perfume or arc
matte. Saffron, moreover. was most
popular perfume with the Romans
and was much In favor In Englans
until about the sixteenth century.

of automobile owners. 1t Is the plaT
of the American Automobile associa
Icontemplates the construction of so,
GOO miles of them, but even this sys
tenn would cost the people billion dol
lars and be forty years in construc
ton.
This plan advocates devoting forty
years to improve two per cent of the
roads, leaving the people along the
other SO per cent cropping in ignor
ance and poverty" says Mr.. Shackle
ford. Worse than that. the people
along the SO per cent of the roads who
are thus to be left forty years wander
ing in the wilderness of poor roads
must help pay the costs of the two pei
cent of the roads which the American
Automobile Association and the Ma
tional Roads association would builds
THE improvement of 2,250,000 miles
of roads Is tremendous problem. II
seems to be out of the question to pro.
vide the funds for such an undertake
ing out of indirect taxation, as the fed,
eral revenues are now raised. 1t must
be largely direct taxation, and the tax,
payers must not contribute money, but
voluntary labor on the roads. n
This is the view Mr. Shackleford
takes, and he believes this voluntary
labor can be secured by encouraging
the improvement Of roads everywhere
by federal maintenance contribution OF
SIS per mile for every road improved
to meet government requirements. AT
this cost, the government could main
tain 100000 miles of model country
roads at an annual expense Of $780,.
600 900, sum insignificant in com,
parison to the convenience Of good
roads and to their effect in cheaper.
ing farm transportation and reducing
prices of farm products to the consum.
ers. F5'
Mr.. Shackleford is not without facts
to show how such government en-
enlargement might work out In con.
crete results. The state of Missouri
tried this plan of contributing to road
maintenance, as did the state of Ark.
ansas, and both with remarkable re.
suits. &
Said Mr.. Shackleford Last win.
ter the legislature Of Missouri passed q
ILL providing that every mile of roads
in the state leading from county seat
to county seat which should be built
up to specified standards should re-
ceive aid from the state to the extent
of SIS mile. G
The state highway commissioners,
who was charged with the duty Of ad,
ministering this law, refused to accept
any road which was not 40 feet wide
between fences, 80 feet wide between
side bitches, so graded and crowned
as to quickly shed water into the side
bitches, and provided with all neces-

|sary culverts to be of stone or con-
crete. These are rather hard speci-
|.f1cations. Yet that law has been In
operation in Missouri only about six
months and 5000 miles have been &C
copied by the state highway commits
sioner as. having been brought within
the provisions Of the law. III many
cases where public funds were not
available, money, labor and material
were contributed by private persons
Within year this SIS mile stimulus
will have given the people OF Missouri
10. 600 miles of good roads; had the
same thing been done In the other
forty-eight states, a single year would
have given us 100000 miles of good
roads.
Recurring to Missouri again. Gov.
Major by public proclamation set apart
August. 20 and q as road days" upon
which he requested all able bodied
men ito work the roads; 100000 men
responded, and 1t Is estimated that in
labor and material there was more
than $1,O00,0O0 put upon the roads Of
Missouri during those two days, Later
the governor of Arkansas issued 8
similar proclamation with similar re-
suits.
These facts warrant me In feeling
that If the federal government would
stimulate the road movement by a very
modest aid per mile of improved roads,
astonishing results would follow"

The house roads committee, of which

tional policy of good roads, it will find
two general plans before it.

Btruction of model highways by the

which will conform to the highest
standards Of road building-macadam.

MS the. finest asphalt pavement, perfect.

out by engineers, trested with top
dressing to shed water--in short, city

the open country. Great transcontin.
entail systems of such roads are plan.
ned, the trunk lines probably to be
given names that will become as we'll
known as the names of the transcon-
tinental railroads.
The second plan contemplates roads
which will not conform to SO high a
standard, but roads which will be solid
and smooth the year round. No par.
ticular amount of additional material
to be placed on the road beds, but each
road to be the best improvement pos.
sible with economical use of the ma
:erial at hand.
The first plan is the one which will
Ii peal to the automobile owners of the
country, and they are many in number
ION and the National Roads associa-
ion.
The other plan is the one which pro-
poses no new routes or systems, but
he improvement Of roads already in
existence. 1t Is the plan which will
appeal to the farmers, for it's prime
purpose will be to connect railroad
cations and towns and cities on the
bne hand with the farms on the other.
