BRIDGES SHOULD HAVE
A COAT OF PAINT


The following letter from the De-
partment of Public Roads at Frank
fort is very timely at this season Of
the year, particularly as nearly all
the bridges in Powell county are in
need of a coat of paint. There are
seven bridges in the county, and
none of these has received coat of
paint since being erected. with the
exception OF the one at Waltersville.
The bridges more recently built are
not in as urgent need of care as
some Of the others, and little at
tention and a coat Of paint at thls
time may save more money at later
date. Following is a copy of the
letter being sent out by the Depart
ment of Public Roads at Frankfort
to the County Judges, Road Engi-
neers, and others who are interest
ed in the good roads movement:
COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC ROADS
FRANKFORT.
September 3, 1914.
To All County Judges, County Attor-
neys, Magistrates and County
Road Engineers
Gentlemen:
Iwish to call your attention to
the fact that the life oe steel bridges
depends on the care which they are
given, and one of the things that
you cannot afford to over look is that
of painting.
Your bridges should be painted this
fall before the weather gets bad,
and by doing so you will prevent
them from rusting out during the
winter months.
I would advise that the best re-
sults can be obtained by the county
purchasing the. paint and employing
some reputable man to do the work.
Good bridge paint can be bought for
about $50 per gallon and a rough
rule is to buy one gallon of paint
for each coat for every ten feet in
iengrh'rf bridge. We also recon-
mend the use of rel lead ground in
fnsccd oil for the painting Of bridges.
This will preserve the bridge for
about five years provided the bridge
is thoroughly cleaned of all rust anG
dirt before painting and two coats
are applied.
The steel can he cleaned Of rus,
grease, dirt! ETC., by the use oe wire
brush or sharp edged tool.
In ease two coats are applied they
should he Of different colors.
This Department will be glad to
furnish estimates of cost of painting
bridges provided the length Of span.
width of roadway and the height of
trus res are furnished us.
The Department of Public Roa i
maintains crops Of competent enei-
neers to assist you in your road and
bridge work and any service rendered
is free of cost to your county.
Yours truly.

A Century Aqo.

James Henry Lane, who played a
stirring part In the troubles in Kan
sas during the years Immediately pre-
ceding the Civil war, was born In Law
renceburg, Ind, 100 years ago. After
serving In the Mexican war he re-
turned to Indiana and was elected to
congress. He rer we'd to Kansas ter
ritory in 1855 ID identified himself
with the Free State party. He headed
the territorial troops raised TO repel
the Missouri invaders and was elected
to the United States senate by the
Legislature that convened under the
Topeka constitution. But the ~legisla-
ture was not recognized by congress
and Mr.. Lane was indicted for high
treason and obliged to flee. He re.
turned after Kansas was admitted to
statehood in 1851 and was again elect
ed to the senate. During the Civil
war he served as a brigadier general
of Kansas volunteers. At the close
of the war he was again sent to the
senate, but shortly afterward was
stricken with paralysis, and losing his
reason, he died by his own hand,
while returning to his home In Leav.

UP TO THE SUPREME COURT
That Tribunal Called Upon to settle
Peculiar Point In Insurance Case
Involving Large Sum.

One Of the strangest cases ever fled
IN the United States Supreme court
reached there recently when an appeal
was docketed from a Maryland court
order for the appointment of a receiv-
er to take possession of the vital organs
of dead man for chemical examina-
ton.
The case grows out of the fight over
the 100000 insurance carried by Ed
ward o. Painter. business man of
Jacksonville, Fla, when he fell over
board from a ferryboat at Jackson
Vile, April 81, 1913, and was drowned.
Painter was seized with violent vom-
iting and when he went to the rail of
the boat fell into the water. Upon
the recovery of his body. his vital or
gans were sent by the family physician
to Baltimore for examination. DR..
Charles Glasier, in whose custody they
were placed, was enjoined by an in
surance company from turning the or
for burial before the company, which
had issued an accident policy to Pain
ter, had an opportunity 10 examine
them.
Then the lower court, at the instance
OF the insurance company, appointed a
receiver to take charge of the organs
and to make chemical examination.
The state courts in Maryland held that
the provisions in the insurance policy
giving the company the right of an ex-
animation was superior to Sny proper
ty right the widow or daughter might
have In the remains.
1t was to get review of such de-
cision that the case was brought to
the Supreme court.

CONDEMNS GAME OF GOLF
English Writer Gives Many Reasons
for His Denunciation of the
Popular Pastime.

On the heels of the recent golf cham
pionships in England there broke out a
fierce letter-to-the-press battle, which
still RACES, on the merits of the game.
In the provocative article "Anti-golf'
signed himself to a general denuncia,
ton Of the game, both for boys and
elders, but particularly branded 1t as
altogether unfit for schoolboys. Under
no circumstances should they be al.
lowed to play it, he commended. 1t was
a pastime, not a game, and lacked the
discipline and spirit of team games.
; He called it 'the incarnation of slow.
footed egotism, demanding a style OF
stroke which cramps and spoils the
style demanded for real games" He
concluded: Lawn tennis Is bad
enough, but golf is entirely-there is
no other word for it-damnable."
g The arguments of the devotees of
golf who fiocked to the defense of
their sport may easily be imagined,
but "Anti-golf' had many to side with
I him. One wrote: Chiefly by reason
/ of the growth of national slackness,
golf, with its indecent posturings
among young women and heavy wager.
ing among men, has crept upon the
country like a destroying fungus"

NOT MATTER FOR THE PUBLIC
oaruso Considers Remarks About Con-
dillon Of His Throat Hurt His
Reputation.

So much money has come to the
great tenor Caruso, from the bird
like quality of his throat, that some
loneliness about remarks made about
that organ might not perhaps be Won
dered at. Many are the tussles he
has had in courts Of law regarding 1t.
One Of Signor Caruso's latest law
suits is with Prof. Della Vedova of
Milan, who in 1907 operated on him
for throat trouble and restored the
wonderful voice. The professor
claimed a fee of $4,000, which Ca
russo considered excessive. The singer
threatened litigation and vedova re-
duced his fee to $4,000, which Caruso
paid
Three years later when 1t was ru.
mored that Caruso's throat trouble
had returned Prof. Della Vedova ex-
planned in an interview published in
a Milan paper particulars of the OPP
GRAFTON he had performed.
Caruso was furious. He said that
the professor had no right to divulge
such particulars, which damaged the
tenor's reputation and led to the be-
lief that his voice was not perfect,
owing to a weak throat Caruso In
stituted proceedings against his doc
tor and claimed damages.
The case was decided in the pro-
fessor's favor. Then Caruso appealed
against the sentence and the case was
heard again before the Milan court of
appeals. In a few weeks time the
court will give its decision
1t is In fact rather a serious Of
Tense to pass remarks in any sense
derogatory to this valuable throat.

Wolves Not Extinct In New York,

1t has been long supposed that
wolves were extinct in, the Adiron
dacks, but for several nights people
living in the vicinity of Owls Head
have heard their baying. The other
night Burton Davis, while in his potato
field, was suddenly confronted by 6
ferocious looking specimen.
He struck at the animal with a stick
and then ran to the house for his
rifle. Returning, he spied the wolf anG
fired, hitting him in the mouth. With
howl the beast soon was back in the
woods, while the baying of mate was
heard in the distance.
Fifty years ago wolves were fire
ouently encountered in this part of the

In Our Last Conflict With Britain.

One hundred years ago three Unit
ed States regiments marched from
Plattsburg, N. Y, for the North. This
was but one Of the movements pre-
liminary to the beginning of the final
campaign along the Canadian border.
During the week several troopships ar
rived at Quebec with hundreds of vet
eran soldiers who had fought under
Wellington in the Peninsular war. AS
rapidly as possible these reinforce
ments were hurried forward to the
frontier. At the same time British
squadron under Sir James Yeo was
cruising about Lake Ontario on the
lookout for a chance to strike a de-
cisive blow. In the vicinity of Buff
falo, Generals Scott and Ripley of the
American army were gathering their
forces preparatory to crossing the Nj
agara river for an attack on Fort
