Higher Education and Good Road

higher IuucatlOn anu trOOu hohus
The most obvious relation between
what is called education and good
roads is in furnishing adequate In
struction in civil and highway engi-
neering for students who wish to make
road building their profession. A
second relation of direct sort Is in
the expert engineering service college
professors may render the communi-
tbs in which they live. Both of these
functions OF instruction and leader
ship we have undertaken at the Uni
versity of North Carolina and with
gratifying results. We have a four
year course in highway engineering
that is attracting some of our best
students. Between five and ten men
are specializing now in this work, and
those who have already been turned
out have Immediately "made good"
Our professors are actively engaged in
road construction in Orange county
and in the state at large. II is our
purpose to develop this department as
rapidly as means are available along
lines OF wider service and efficiency

Get the Habit
Austin Il. Fletcher, state highway
commissioner of California, did not
think much of the highway system of
Michigan, according to his statements
when he returned to the coast. Mr..
Fletcher says that Michigan's roads
start nowhere and go nowhere.
Mr. Fletcher is about right Michi-
gan has a number of miles of good
roads. A lot of them start from De-
troit and go to the county lines, but
if a man wants 10 drive from Detroit
to the state capital he is not much
better off than he was ten years ago.
one has good roads from Worthwhile to
Plymouth but from there to Wayne
or Ann Arbor or Ypsilanti the going
is no Improvement over that of
dozen years ago. Thus, although we
have attained To some excellent sam
pies in the highway line, our Michigan
good roads system is still in the future.
But anyway, we like what we have
made so well that everybody is going
to advocate getting the habit" after
a while.-Northville Record.

Belgium King Good Roads Enthu-
GfaGf

King Albert of Belgium has
thorough grasp of the underlying
causes of the good roads movement
and has answered objections made
against the crusade for better high
ways. He says: THE good roads
question is not always well and clearly
understood by the majority Of people.
They suppose a campaign for good
roads is undertaken only for the profit
of some rich tourists; as if automobo-
lism was a privilege Of wealth and not
also of practical and general use with
public cars, heavy weight motors, etc.
I am convinced that good and numer-
Gus roads serve the general welfare of
the country and particularly the pro-
gress Of agriculture and the develop
ment of connecting industries. Roads
are a necessary complement Of rail
ways and bring more traffic 10 these.

Bread as Food for Fowls and Chicks

Dry bread makes an excellent var
iation in the diet of all fowls. This is
particularly true in the case Of the
mated breeding pens which will great
ly relish one ration a day of this bread
which may be moistened in either
milk or water AS a ration for the
newly Matched baby chicks or for
young turkeys or ducks, and up to the
age of six or eight weeks, there is no
more desirable food since it has been
thoroughly packed and tried. In fact
it is an ideal food for all young birds.

SENSATIONS AT POCATELLO

Pocatello has had a very sad case
of an eighteen-year old girl coming
to their city and dying from smoking
opium. The officers have been busy
on the case for some time, and the
body of the unknown fiirl was lying
in the morgue.
Now it appears that under these
sad circumstances the officers raided
a number of rooming houses on Sun
day evening to see what was carrying
on, and they found quite a little col
only of residents of the city supposed
to be law-abiding and respectable,
unable to give proper reasons for oc-
cupying those rooms with the COM
pany their were found in.
It is said to have presented some
predicament SO embarrassing that
even the officers were red in the face
and cold at the feet.

ACCIDENT AT MRS. SWEETS

Mrs. Belle Sweet came near being
burned alive Wednesday in her own
home, and saved herself only by her
pluck and presence of mind.
The fire had gone out and she
laid it again and as the kindling
was damp she poured on some coal
oil. The heat of the stove probably
ignited it, for it responded with a
flash that set fire to her clothing and
the carpet. She tried to smother the
flames by wrapping something about
her but it did not work, and she slip
ped out of the burning gar 1ent, and
then smothered the fire in the car

When she got through she was
slightly singed about the eyebrows

that she called physician to dress

JONES AND TREGO HAVE SHARP
WORDS AND SLIGHT PHYSI-
GAL ENCOUNTER
No Casualties Yet Reported
BOTH WRONG, BOTH YIELDING
FOR PEACE. FRIENDS OF BOTH
PARTIES LOOKED ON AND
SMILED.

Sheriff Jones and Editor Trego Of
Tended each other Saturday morning;
four of their friends saw signs Of an
impending physical test, but had to
be content with witnessing mutual
yielding of differenc IS to the end that
there might be peace. It may be
said that both men were wrong, as
men usually are in quarrel or COM
bat, and the fact that exaggerated
stories of the affair have been cir
culated verbally to the discredit of
both parties, is the only reason for
giving space in the paper to so petty
a matter.
For several weeks there have been
persistent rumors Of shameful con-
ditions in the county jail, relative to
the food served, that 1t was lacking
in quantity and that at times 1t was
stale to the point of decay. One
statement frequently made was that
on Saturdays they were fed on the
remnants fthe Fridays fish supply,
and that as fish spoil quickly, their
food on Saturdays was often loath-
some on account of being stale. It
was commonly charged that the
meats left over from plates served
at the table were dumped into ves-
sci and served to the prisoners.
Editor Trego always contended
that these stories were likely to be
overdrawn or entirely untrue; that
he saw no signs of this kind of food
being served when he had visited the
prison, and that it was the duty Of
the citizens or officials to investigate
and vindicate the sheriff If the stories
were. false or to stop the practice If
they proved to be true. On Saturday
morning he asked Councilman e. T.
Peck and J. G. Bond to accompany
him to the jail at breakfast time to

breakfast, Mr.. Trego acted as spokes-

Hull replied that they could after
breakfast was over.
\ Mr.. Trego explained that 1t was
the breakfast they had come to see,
and would like to go down to witness
what was served and in what con-
dition. Mr.. Hull said he would not
admit them unless they got orders
from the boss. Mr.. Trego asked
where Mr.. Jones was, and Mr.. Hull
replied that he did not know. Mr..

FAMOUS FOR MANY CENTURIES
Jewel Known as kohnoor, In the
British Diadem, Has Most Re-
markable History.

The first owner OF the famous Koh.
moor or Mountain of Light dia
mond, was, according to legend the
hero Karna, whose deeds are cele
brated In the "Mahabharata," and who
is said to have carried the great
stone some 5000 years ago. The Koh.
moor, brought to England from India
and presented to Queen Victoria made
its first authentic appearance in his
tory in the fourteenth century, when
Alaed-din carried it to Delhi At that
time it is said to have weighed 1893
carats. 1t appeared in the great dia-
mond market OF Golconda in 1850. The
lack Of skill OF Venetian lapidary,
Hortensio Borghese, reduced its
weight to 279 carats. After the sack,
ing Of Delhi in 1899 the diamond went
to Afghanistan, and it belonged in
turn to several Afghan rulers. Thence
1t came into the possession of the
Sikh chief, Runfeet Singh. Upon the
abdication of the last ruler OF the Pun.
5ab, and the annexation of his do
minions to the British empire, in 1S49
the great stone became the property
of the East India company, and was
by II presented to Queen Victoria. II
was recut soon afterward, and now
weighs 1921 carats. 1t is beyond
price, although $1O,OO0,00O has been
given as fair valuation.
