AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS

The government exhibit which will
be a feature of the Fourth American
Road Congress in Atlanta, Georgia,
during the week of November 9, will
include a remarkable series of models
showing every type of road construc-
ton from the military roads of I'M
perial Rome down to the most modern
types of market road and city boule-
ward. Reproductions of the roads built
by the French Bourbons, by Napo
leon, as we'll as the early specimens
of macadam road built by John l..
Macadam will make the series his
torically complete. This exhibit,
which is now being prepared by the
U. S. office of public roads, will also
include a dynamometer equipment by
means of which the exact pull re-
quired on every type of road surface
can be shown with mathematical ac-
curacy.
According to Mr.. Charles P. Light,
business manager of the exposition,
to be held in connection with the con-
gress, many of the states are arrang-
ing for educational exhibits afford
ing full information concerning roads
and the materials of construction.
Mr.. Light states that although the
congress is nearly four months off,
reservations have already been made
for the display of road machinery, en-
cheering instruments, and materials
of construction, sufficient to fill COM
pletely the auditorium, as well as
temporary structure which will oc-
cupy the entire street space extend
ing for a city block and two-thirds
of the available space in viaduct
having length of two city blocks.
"The expenditure last year for
road construction and maintenance
throughout the United States" says
Mr.. Light, ''was well over $205, 000,-
900 and will soon pass the quarter
billion mark. In view of this great
annual outlay it is almost essential
that road officials, contractors and
manufacturers get in touch with one
another at least once year under
conditions such as are afforded by the

cord over long distances, or are car

other vehicles, single source of in

wide section. 1t is perfectly evident
that the danger is increased in closely
settled communities. 1t is equally
certain that the danger decreases
where the population is less dense,
but nowhere is it a danger to be dis
regarded.
What is the remedy?
First, prevent the fly from becom-

Next, in the popular phrase-swat
the fly. Kill him wherever you find
him. Keep him out of the house, par
ticularly out of the kitchen and din
ing room, where food is prepared or
eaten. Keep him away from those
foods, especially that are to be eaten
uncooked. No one knows where any
fly has been or how terrible a menace
he may be to health or to life itself
But the important thing is to prevent
him becoming infected.
In order to do this, screen the earth
closets. Screen them so thoroughly
that no fly can get in through any
little opening left carelessly in put
ting up the screen. 1t doesn't cost
much to have this work done proper
ly, and not much to see that the
screen is always tight and servicea-

EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL COMPAR-
ED WITH DEFECTIVE TEETH

DR.. William Olser is creited with
saying that, IF l were asked to say
whether more physical deterioration
was produced by alcohol or by defec-
tive teeth, should say unhesitatingly
defective teeth" The history of the
movement for dental inspection of
school children shows that during the
past decade educators and hygienists
all over the world have been awaken
ing to realization of the truth and
significance of DIR. Olser's Statement.
The serious significance of dental
conditions existing among school
children in a typical American city
may be appreciated by studying the
record of the examination of 447
schol children ranging in age from six
to eixteen years in Elmira, N. Y,
These children were examined by To-
cal dentists in 1910. The findings are
given in the following table:
No. of children examined 447.

feet condition %.
No. of children needing filling 2063.
No. of teeth and rotos needing ex-
traction, GIT.
Data taken from an investigation
in New York City showed that, on the
average, children having defective
teeth take one-half year longer to
complete the elementary school
course than do children not so afflict-
ed.
Another investigation indicates that
children with good teeth stand ap-
preciably higher in scholarship and
school promotion than do those hav-
ing poor teeth. 1t is also we'll known
fact that children with good teeth arc
on the average heavier in weight than
those with poor teeth.

Go to church,!

Think for one minute what this
world would be without churches.
Are you doing your part to support
them by your attendance? In recent
years there had been a surprising fall
ing off in church attendance figures.
People stayed away from church
some because they had lost faith, but
the great number simply because they
had become apathetic. 1t was time
that this apathy ceased. And it has
to a large extent. With the advent
of the go to church movement there
has been splendid awakening all
over the country. Religion had only
been dormant.
The go to church call found ready
response. New churches have sprung
up in many quarters. The old church

RICH I'M THE JOY OF WORKING

When Eve ate the apple in the gar
den of Eden, and tempted Adam so
to eat, thereby bringing upon the race
the curse of toll, the fruit of the tree
of the knowledge of Good and Evil
was not all bitter to the palate.
The angel who stood in the path
way and drove the first man and the
first woman forth to toll by the sweat
of the brow, knew perhaps, as they
could not know, that there was, after
all, a joy awaiting the toiler out in
the wide wastes of the world, beyond
the Perfect Garden, that this bright
and beautiful Eden did not and could
never possess.
Rudyard Kipling calls it the joy
of working" and life holds fewer rich

matters, illustrates his story of the
difference in the college man and the
working man, in their contact with
life, by citing an instance that came
under his observation at one of our
big universities.
The writer, in a group of univer-
sity men, talking on vital questions
of the day, noted that out of many
men there were but four who took

mental issues of the day. Addressing

THE GROWTH OF OUR GREAT
MISSIONARY MOVEMENTS

One hundred and eight years ago
today the first step was taken toward
establishing the foreign missionary
movement. On this day five students
of Williams College gathered in a
grove near the college to hold an open
air meeting. The day was hot and OPP
pressive. In the midst of the meeting
a lightning bolt flashed across the
sky, announcing the approach of a
thunderstorm. Hurridly collecting
their belongings, the students sought
shelter benesth a neighboring hay
stack. Here they continued their
discussions while the storm ragged.
shouting to make himself understood
above the thunder, the young leader,
Samuel j. Mills, proposed that they
organize ito spread the gospel among
the heatherns." That was the first
step.
Two years later Mills organized
the Society of Brethren" requiring
each of the five members thereof to
solemnly dedicate his life as mis-
sionary. Public opinion being against
missions the organizations was kept
secret, and it's constitution was drawn
up in cipher Six years had passed
since the historic "Haystack meet
ing" whose location is now marked
with a monument, before the first
five missionaries, four of whom were
accompanied by their wives, sailed
from Philadelphia for India upon the
first American evengilistic campaign
to foreign lands.
Today more than 5000 missionaries
of both sexes from the United States,
and $4,000 native converts acting as
missionaries, are teaching the Christ
ian faith throughout the world. They
have converted 100000 men, women
and children in ali lands, and are
bringing $4,000 more into the fold
every year. Owed 100000 are learn
ing the ways of Christianity in the
10000 colleges, theological seminar
les, training ana Sunday schools
that have been established by Ameri-
can missionaries. The modern mis-
sionary is not only spiritual adviser,
but undertakes to cure physical ills
as we'll In the 600 hospitals and free
dispensaries established in foreign
lands, it is estimated that 3,000,00O,-
900 treatments have been given by
the 400 male and female doctors max
ing up the foreign missionary medical
staff In times of famine they distri-
buted huge sums of money. The ex-
penses of this vast campaign are
enormous; but no country is as liberal
as the United States. Last year the
American people contributed nearly
SIT 100000 to support their $4,000
Christian and 10000 natives mis-
sionaries who have gathered over
100000 adherents in the faith.

are possessed of distinctive ability
and forceful personality, which have
helped materially to secure for them
the universal recognition, which their
work has received.
The subjects taken up are subjects
in which all normal persons are deeply
and fundamentally interested, ques-
tions of better birth, of better school
ing, of better life, questions of hered-

and modes of living. These are of
vital interest to everyone as a mem
