Here is the ideal spring training
schedule for comfort: Leave Detroit

Cincinnati on the way home mingled
with the regular practice during the
stay az Gulfport might be inserted a
trip now and then TO Mobile. or 10
New Orleans o. even to Hattiesburg.
All three cities can be reached In a
few hours ride from Gulfport.
While this sort OF training season
sounds poetic and imaginative i'm view
Of the fact that from 10 TO 20 games
| are played every spring now by the
Tigers on their way home from the
south al a half dozen cities. neverthe-
| less II may be fact within a few
years.
Manager Jennings says that Ii Is
hardly probable that such trip will
be arranged for the Tigers in 1914, but
he does say that such an arrangement
Is likely to be considered for the near
. future
of style To a great extent Just now
the purvailing mode Is long trip

White Sox has gone to the extreme in
this with his long, double-headed trip
back from the Pacific Coast this
spring.
successes, but. Of course. the question
OF making money is secondary to the
+tHestieff- ef-settfng condition and
practice. Sometimes some Of the edge
gained In the south is lost on the trip
back II the club strikes bunch Of
disagreeable weather.
The club this year has been given
as many exhibition games In the south
as II has been possible to secure After
the exhibition schedule had been an.
nounced ii was decided that Mendian
and Montgomery should be accommo-
dated with two games each which
were not on the original program.
Manager Jennings has endeavored to
arrange as many contests at Gulfport
as possible.
In the training trip proposed. the
men would have five solid weeks OF
work in the south following which
they would get three or -four games I'm
the north before the schedule opened
in which to get used TO the colder
weather The games at Chattanooga
and Cincinnati would furnish this OPP
portunity and give the club two breaks
on the long trip home.
There may be some objection to
this idea on the ground that the SUD
den jump north might throw the Tig-
ers suddenly from warmth and sun
shine into cold. dreary weather. How.
ever. the weather man would have
that matter to decide.
II would certainly add to the com
fort of all to be relieved OF the barn
storming. II is not at all unlikely that
the scheme shall receive trial soon
by the Tigers.
The Maps. according to gossip
among the Tigers; are dissatisfied
with Pensacola as a training camp
and are considering Bay St. Louis.
which Is only q short distance from
Gulfport on the gulf coast toward New
Orleans.
II the Maps would settle at Bay ct.
Louis and the Reds would remain at
Mobile, the coast would furnish pien-
~ Of opportunity for tourists to watch
major league teams train.
II IL surprising TO note how many
travellers arrange their itineries so
that they may be at training camp.
The Tigers are keeping many people
at 0ulfport.

are saying it that bet their money

prediction down in print before it
was too late to figure as a proph-
ecy. and it happened just as pre-
dicted. The Giants put up rather
poor showing and only took one
game and 1t by a scratch. In fact

GOOD
ROADS
PAVED STREETS IN 1000 B. C.
Babylon, Carthage and Other Ancient
Cities Took Much Interest In
Building Good Roads.

When or where the first road was
built is not known. Herodotus speaks
of great Egyptian road on which
King Cheops Employed 100000 men
for ten years. According to the his
torian, this road was built OF mass
i've stone blocks ten feet deep, and
lined ON both sides with temples, maui
soleums, pOrticos and statues. The
streets of Babylon are said to have
been paved as early as 1000 b. g.,
and several we'll surfaced roads radl-
ated to neighboring cities. Carthage,
before its fall, was the center OF
highly developed road system. The
ancient Peruvians had wonderful
system of national roads connecting
all the principal parts Of their en-
pire,
Bridges were also built by the an
clients at very early date. The Eu-
pirates, at Bebylon, was crossed by
stone bridge prior to 1000 b. g., and
it is known that the Chinese built
bridges as public works as early as
2Y0U b. c. says the Good Roads Year
Book.
The first definite and fully authen-
tic information concerning the system
alc construction and maintenance
OF permanent roads comes to us
from the Romans. 1t is generally
understood that the Romans learned
the art of road building from the
Carthagenians. However, the con-
struction of their great road was as
perfect as that Of any Of their later
ones
The first of the great Roman roads
was from Rome to Capua, distance
OF l42 Italian miles, and was begun by
Appius Claudius, about 3l2 b. G.
1t VAS known as the Applan way
or Queen of Roads" This road was
later extended to Brundisium, total
of $50 miles, and was probably COM
pleted by julius Caesar About 22o
b. c. the Flaminian Way was built.
1t crossed the Mar river on a stone
bridge which had central span or
$50 feet with rise of 100 feet. When
Rome reached the height Of her glory,
under the reign Of Augustus, no less
than 20 great military roads radiated
from the city. These roads extended
to every part of the vast empire, and
are estimated to have a total length
of $4,000 miles.
The Roman construction was in
general extremely massive. The Ap-
plan Way is said to have been In good
repair 500 years after it was built.
On carefully prepared subgrade
were placed four successive courses
of layers, the rodus or second course.
the nucleus or third course and the
pavimentum or wearing surface. The
top ard bottom courses consisted IN
general of large fiat stones, while the
two intervening course were built OF
smaller stones or other suitable ma
terial laid In lime mortar.
With the fall Of the Roman empire
the roads were neglected and gradual
ly fell into decay, so that today but
little more than a trace remains OF
these splendid achievements.

would you mind telling me one thing"
"What?" Miss Clement smiled in an
dcipation Of the question.
"What on earth that pair Of gloves
had to do with things"
The smile turned to laugh.
II knew you would ask that" she
said. "The truth of the matter is that
the gloves had nothing to do with 1t,
except in a roundabout way. When I
was talking to Miss Charles noticed
a peculiar odor permeating the room.
I had only noticed that odor once be-
fore in my life-and that was the time
when l had raided Alem Haji's place
five years before and learned that 1t
was a concoction of his known as the
Spirits of Life, with which he was
supposed to bring back persons from
the other world. that the one who
sought them might see them In their
dreams. saw right away that the odor
came from the gloves, because l had
not noticed 1t SO strongly until Miss
Charles began to wave them. Then.
