VERMONT ADOPTS
new ROAD POLICY
Costly Highways to Be Built
Only When Needed.
ECONOMY FOR LIGHT TRAVEL
Maeadam and Other Types Of Expen.
sive Construction Will Be Abandoned.
Brick and Concrete Roads Will Be
Made Near Large Cities.

Scarcely less important than the
brick road message of Governor Glynn
of New York is the announcement of
the road policy adopted for this year
by Vermont. AS explained by State
Highway Commissioner Charles W.
Gates at a recent meeting Of town
road commissioners, he intends to use
the state appropriation of about $780,
COO in building trunk roads and to
spend funds amounting to more than
$4,000 derived from motor vehicles in
keeping the most Travelled routes in re-
pair. He will abandon macadam and
other types Of expensive construction
and return to earth and gravel road
making on the less travelled highways.
These plans will have the approval
Of automobiles who contemplate TAX
ing part in the national touring week
that is being promoted by the national
automobile chamber of commerce and
the American Automobile association.
The White mountains in New Hamp-
shire will be the objective point of
hundreds of touring parties that will
pass through Vermont during the week.
ending July 4 because of the Chicago
and Boston run for the Glidden tro-
ply terminating at Boston on July 3
and the semiannual meeting of the
American Automobile association at
Breton Woods on July 4.
Apart from the advantages Of induc-
ing automobile travel, which are we'll
known to New England highway COM
missioners, the plan adopted by Yer
mont. together with a determination to
build brick. concrete or other equally
wherever else a large volume Of traffic
makes the cost of maintaining macad-
nm excessive, is generally considered a
sound. economic policy. any state can
gradually get permanent roads to car
ry it's heaviest traffic without mourning
any additional expense OF curtailing
the mileage of road improvement by
the policies advocated by
the two states.
For every mile of gravel road that
is made instead of macadam, the state
can build one mile of concrete road in
stead of macadam without the cOm
bined cost exceeding that Of two miles
of macadam or stone road. Gravel
roads. costing from $1,000 to $1,000 a
mile. will meet the demands of the
farmers and automobile tourists, and
concrete or brick roads, costing from
$4,000 to $4,000 a mile will be a
boon to all users Of heavy teams, mo-
tor trucks and passenger vehicles and
to property owners.
Gravel, brick and concrete roads cost
much less to keep in repair than mac
adam roads. SO the adoption Of this
policy would result in IN annual saw
ing of several hundred dollars a mile
over the all macadam system.

OUR SENSE Of SPACE:
Experiments With Infants Tend q
Show That Il 10 Innate.

Show That Il 10 Innate.
There are many optical illusions
which show that our perception of
distance, height and space are ac-
quired rather than instructive, and
in the domain of psychological
physiology one of the startling con-
troversies touches this point. The
German school of Leipzig is inclin-
ed to affirm that all our perceptions
of distance, area and solidity and
our ability to distinguish between
right and left, up and down, before
and behind, are acquired as a re-
suit Of long practice and experience.
A person blind from birth who
has learned to distinguish triangles,
squares, circles and objects of other
forms by touch is not able immedi-
ately after the acquisition of sight
to distinguish these familiar objects
by sight alone. He or she is still
compelled to rely on feeling. In
the beginning all objects appear to
such a person (and perhaps they do
so in the case of babies) as shape
less, tremulous spots of color situat-
ed~close to the eye.
In the course of the debate that
ragged some years ago in Germany
some experiments were made with
babies. 1t appeared that in babies
what must be described for want of
a better term as a sense of space
seems to exist. The infant was held
in the arms of the experimenters
for about a minute, at the end of
which interval the child was per-
mitted to drop upon its bed. In
every instance the child exhibited a
dread or panic when it felt the arms
of the persons holding it relax.
The babe, even at the age of one
month, seemed to understand that
its support was departing. It held,
or, rather, clutched, at anything it
could reach, whether the arm, neck
or collar of the person holding it.
From these experiments it has
been inferred that there must exist
a sense of space almost from in
fancy. What is the dread of falling
but a manifestation of an innate
sense of space ?-London Post.

BY HOMER M'kEE.


The job of the advocates of good
roads is to see the taxpayer and the
voter on this proposition. The little
that good roads in your county would
cost you personally amounts to moth
ing compared with the amount good
roads would add to your net yearly in
come.
Whenever you show a man that by
giving you a quarter he can obtain in
return from you Is cents he is going
to spend the quarter. There has been
too much sentiment in this good roads
solicitation. The tendency has been
to ask support for good roads on the
basis of patriotism. Farmers have
been told that they should support
good roads in order that America
might keep pace with Europe on a
basis of interurban and i%nterprovin-
cial communication. America is es-
sentialIy a commercial nation. Good
roads. therefore. if they, are to be gen
eral. must be advocated on u national
basis. If this national appeal is to
strike home it must be d practical one.
The practical phase of good roads is
obvious. Good roads increase property

that is exactly what happens to a town

or a town banker and you want that
great wealth of the country diverted
your way support good roads. It's the
proper business thing to do.
But Of all those who make money out
Of good roads the farmer reaps the big
est benefit. Suppose you OWE a farm
.of 100 acres and a road skirts 1t on n
side-one mile of road. let us say. Sup
pose that road IL clay and gets hub
deep in the winter. Then suppose the
county should change it to a good mac
adam pike and that your share Of the
expense. amounted to $1M. OF course
you know the gross expense would be
borne by the township on II basis Of the
total physical valuation.
When the road ia finished your farm
will actually be worth something like
s. more on the acre. The increased
ease and frequency with which you are
nov enabled to get to your place Of
market assures you an increased earn
ing capacity Of ut least IS per acre on
your 100 acres. Thus by expanding
500 you have put $500 In your pocket.
and you will probably have obtained
the greater part of the $500 before your
road tax is payable.
Good roads are not q liability: they
are an asset. They don't cost you
ey: they make you money. 1t isn't q
question Of whether or not You can at
ford good roads. The question ia. How
in the world can you get money enough
together to do without them? Lack Of
good roads costs like the mischief. The
most expensive road in the world Ia the
one you cant use.

The completion of several transconti-

lust A HUMBLE UAALEMAN.
But Little all, Horsiey Proved Himself
Real Hero.
The whale ship Narwhal, out OF
San Francisco, after a season IN
the arctic, found herself unable to
work through Boring strait on ac-
count of the heavy ice in the chan
nels. The vessel wa obliged to 60
into winter quarters, near the
mouth of the Mackenzie river. She
was provisioned for one season only,
and the men we're in real danger OF
starvation. 49,
Bill Horsley, a five foot whale
man, who had wintered before in
that vicinity, knew the coast. When
the last Of the shortened rations
was in sight Horsley offered to
take one man and a dog team and
make a journey over the ice in
search of caribou. The captain
thought the trip was foolhardy and
had no hope of it's success, but
Horsley insisted, since otherwise
they would all die Of starvation. So
the captain consented. Horsley Sc
lected a big fellow from the fore
castle to accompany him and set
out. They carried almost no food
with them. but they reached the
coast after a hard and trying jour
ney. Horsley's knowledge of the
bleak country led them to caribou,
several of which they shot. The
two men loaded the sled and pre-
pared to return: then their fiber
was really tested.
They were weakened. exhausted
and dazed from exposure. The big
man began to give out. and Horsley
cut him time and again with the
dog whip to prevent him from fall
ing into the death sleep. Finally
the man began to lag and eat snow.
That vas fatal. Horsley pleaded
with him to keep up, encouraged
him, beat him with the whip. He
fell, and the little man used a rope
end to continue the circulation and
force him to his feet. Finally he
fell and could not rise. He lapsed
into the cold sleep of death and the
last heat of his body departed.
Horsley lifted him to the top of the
loaded sledge and drove the dogs
on. But his own strength was 60
ing. and the pain from his aching
tendons was terrible to bear.
A dozen times he was ready to
fall, but he thought of the starving
men on the ship and kept on. So
great was his suffering that his
mind lost its balance. He was spur
red on by the cry of his will that
he must not fai]-that the ships
crew must be saved. he. began to
humble and laugh Historically.
But he stumbled on after the sledge.
Two of the dogs fell in the traces,
but he paid no heed. The others
dragged the bodies on, and Hors-
ley's legs moved after them me-
chanically.
After an age the dogs stopped.
Horsley stood with his hand on the
guide pole. His eyes were staring
straight ahead. He had reached
the ship, but his brain vas so con
fused he did not know it. The 9TH
ers lifted him aboard and wrapped
him in blankets. His feet we're
frozen and had to be taken off at
the instep.
"But what are a mans feet" he
said afterward, "to saving a ships
crew?"-Youth's Companion.
