Naval Collision Mats.

The collision mat, which is carried by
all warships, Is a very valuable part
Of the vessels equipment and often
prevents a ship sinking when she has
been badly hit by the enemy.
The mat varies in size from ten to
fifteen feet square and is made of sail.
cloth into which has been interviewer
q number of "thrums'' or pieces of
tarry hemp closely knit together.
In case Of the vessel being damaged
by shells or collision the mat Is lower.
ed and held over the hole by the ropes
which are attached to It.
The pressure Of the water forces the
mat closely over the gap and thus TEN
porarily stops the leak till 1t can be
closed from within.

1t Is estimated that in the central
provinces Of India alone 100000 Of the
native people use the mahua flower as
a regular article Of food. Though
found in a purely wild state in many
parts Of India. the value of the flowers
and fruit has caused it to be brought
under more or less cultivation. The
economic value Of the tree lies chiefly
in its edible flowers and oil yielding
seeds. The flowers are eaten exten-
sively while fresh. but generally speak
ing they are dried thoroughly and
cooked with rice and other grains.
Sometimes they are completely dried
and reduced to a powder and in this
condition are cooked in round cakes

THE b

THE cattle plague which has
been devastating the herds of
many states and which is said
to have appeared in sections of
this state, brings home to the
people of our whole land the
importance of protecting hu-
man life against this terrible
disease. A New York paper
makes the following timely
recommendations on the sub
ject:
In spite of the admirable
energy shown by federal and
state officers, the menace of the
cattle plague which has 80
suddenly broken out seems to
be growing steadily more seri-
Gus dav by day. and the near
approach of the infection to
this city has already excited
keen apprehension here, ow-
ing to the perils which Turk in
the milk of the COWS affected
by the mysterious fever.
The inevitable advance in
the price of meat would be nc
slight calamity in these days,
but to this is added a new dan.
ger to human health, a danger
that is made the.cause of more
anxiety because it chiefly, per.
haps wholly. touches very
Young children, the only class
for whom good milk in close
to it's natural state comes near
to being an absolute necessity
of life. Already the parents O.

from physicians the warning

derable degree of heat, care

The scientific name of the
foot-and- mouth disease-aph-
thous fever-is significant Of
the little that is really known
about this malady, for "aph'
thous' signifies only "erup.
tive" and therefore would be
applicable to most any Other
fevers. 1t spreads literally

TAT AID FOR HIGH.
WAYS IN NORTH DAKOTA

w ~ AG\ VIZ IA D<ANOA0
The discussion of the road
question in this state began a
number of years ago, and at
that time individuals and org
anizations who were making
an effort to secure more eff.
cient road legislation found
public opinion generally
against them. This condition
changed later, and we find the
1911 legislature passing a con-
current resolution proposing to
change the state constitution
and to permit state aid for
highways.
Chapter 145 of the 1911 ses-
sion laws provides for a county
superintendent of highways, if
the county commissioners de-
eide to appoint one. 1t may be
said that this law was not very
heartily received, and but few
counties took advantage of its
provisions. However, it has
generally worked we'll where it
has been tried.
In 1918 House Bill No. 339
was passed. This provides for
the payment of road taxes in
cash, with certain exceptions,
and for the appointment of
township overseers of high
WAYS, instead of electing road
overseers.
The 1913 Legislative assem-
bly, also adopted the concurrent
resolution before mentioned.
proposing to change the state
constitution in regard to state
aid. This concurrent resolu-
ton, having been acted upon
favorably by two consecutive
Legislative sessions, went to the
people to be voted upon at the
general election, this being the
procedure necessary to amend
the state constitution.
It is but a question Of time
before federal aid in the build
ing of highways will be adopt
ed, and it is interesting to note
that practically all the bills
which have been introduced in
congress make it one of the
provisions that a certain pro-
portion of the expense must be
borne by the state. When ia.
tional aid becomes effective,
North Dakota should be in a
position to benefit in proper.
ton to other states. This will
not be possible unless the state
is in a position to grant state
aid. The point is, that wheth.
er state aid legislation at this
time is advisable or not, it is
advisable that the state consti'
tuition be so amended as tC
make it possible for such legis.
lation to be enacted.
