his troubles. One evening his young

with the child, so the man of science
went to the rescue.

he said. There's no use humming
to her in that silly way. What she
wants il real music. The fact that I
used to sing in the glee club at Yale
and sing well, too, may make diff
ference"
Accordingly, the professor took the
child, and striding up and down the
room, sang in his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse OF
his song when a ring was heard. The
door was opened, and there stood a
girl of fourteen, who said:

SMOOTH CLEATS ARE NO GOOD
Said GrOssnickle-He Decries the
State Demonstration on New Roads.

State Demonstration on New Roads.
That the trip Of 125 miles from
Cumberland to Frederick made by a
traction engine drawing a thresher's
outfit was not a fair test OF smooth
bands is the statement of George o.
Grossnickle, member Of the firm Of
Collins & Grossnickle, Frederick.
Mr.. Grossnickle declared point
blank that the engine used to draw
the outfit was a machine commonly
used for hauling and saving purposes.
Its a lotion Prick engine, 16 horse
power, drawing what / am reasonably
certain is an outfit weighing but
abo t four TONS" said Mr.. Gross
nickle.
In Frederick county we use en-
gines of II to 16 horsepower" con-
tinued Mr.. Grossnickle. These en-
gines pull outfits that really weigh
from six to seven tons. The outfit
pulled into Frederick, was one of the
old-time threshers.
I asked the men in charge to bring
the outfit to my place on East Patrick
street and weigh it. They told
me that ! would have to take their
word for the weight. l asked them
to make demonstration by taking
off and putting on the steel bands
They told me I would have to take
their word for that"
Mr.. Grossnickle said that he had
had a conference with one or the
drivers Of the engine. Charles Nor
gan was the man interviewed. Mr..
Grossnickle declared that the trip was
not made from Cumberland in quite
the victorious style as had been re-
ported.
He said that Morgan frankly said
that the outfit stuck at Middletown.
Mr.. Grossnickle declared that Arby L.
Slifer, of Middletown, was a witness
to the slipping process and reported
the road to be badly torn up by the
spinning smooth wheels.
What Mr.. Grossnickle wants to EN-
phasize is that in Frederick county
the size Of the engines and the weight
Of the outfit makes it absolutely neces-
sary to use cleats on wheels.
