BY HOWARD S. FISK.

VHE writer is in receipt of a
letter from r. A. Kispaugh,
secretary of the Fredericks-
burg Motor Club of Freder-
icksburg, Va, giving a de-
tailed automobile route between the Ma
tfonal Capital and Richmond, Va. The
route is said OF be the latest between
the two capitals. and while that section
between Washington and Fredericks-
burg is over unimproved roads, in dry
weather they are generally in fairly
good condition. The distance between
this city and Fredericksburg via this
route is 76.5 miles.
From Fredericksburg to Richmond
the new state road has recently been
completed and is receiving the greater
share of the traffic in that section of
the Old Dominion. The state road is of
the sand and clay variety and is de-
cided Improvement, it is said, over the
other roads entering Richmond The
distance from Fredericksburg to Rich
mond over the state road is 70.5 miles.
The old telegraph road" over which
the writer motored a few months ago
is impractical when it comes to con-
sldering pleasure trip in a motor
car over this route. In fact, the sec
ton of the road between Richmond and
T ieuetichspurS mas Deen abandoned by
motorists in favor of the new state
road, money for which was put up
by the various counties through which
it passes.
Just at this time there is considerable
traffic between the two capitals, and
as the route printed below is the best
available at this time, motorists are
advised to take this rorte in preference
to any other ~ much longer route is
via the Shenandoah valley and Char
lottesville. but this would possibly
take the better part of two days, while
the new. route enables the motorists to
make the trip of 147 miles in a day.
The route is as follows.

Another uncontrolled mob OF over
jealous patrons OF the baseball games
made themselves a general nuisance at
the ball park Sunday by crowding into
the neId and threatening to assault the
umpire.
Just how long the respectable pat
rons OF the game shall have to wit
ness these displays OF rowdyism de-
ponds wholly on how long the park
shall be without proper police protec-
ton.
1t was expected that the cowardIy
assault on Umpire Knapp few weeks
ago would result IN measures being
taken to prevent another outbreak OF
anarchy, but It seems not.
Who is to blame for these exhibi-
tons OF rowdyism IS a debatable ques-
ton. The police deny responsibility
by saying they have not been asked to
give protection. That appears like a
far-fetched abb as 1t is not customary
for the police department OF any COM
nunity to wink at rtoting whether they
have been asked to give protection or
not The police have the authority to
stop rioting anywhere. They should
exercise their authority at the ball

TEACHERS PHYSICAL FITNESS.

Headlines in a Des MoineS paper
state that a Physical Test For Teach
ers" Is to be established in that town.
Just what the test is or how applied Is
not certain but it reminds CT another
and unfailing physical test for teach
and corroborates the assertion that
nothing is new under the sun.
Physical fitness was the supreme test
once. Years and years ago He might
not be especially strong in grammar
or language work and stuff like that,
but he had to be physically fit. When
he applied for the school the grizzled
old directors informed him that the
big boys threw the last teacher in

winter and asked him whether or not

the showdown came. Bill Dempsey
commenced cutting up. The teacher

CALIFORNIA AND IOWA.

California, a state in the far west.
inhabited by people who have derived
their income from Iowa, presents some
interesting comparisons to the state
which has financed California's con-
tentment.
California is three times as large as
Iowa but has only about the same
number Of inhabitants.
In California. however, two out OF
every three OF its people live in town
to eat what the third one produces on
the land. while in Iowa moro than two
out of three are at work on the farms
producing food for less than the one
to eat This is what gives to the peo-
pie Of Iowa their vast surplus upon
which to retire in California.
Notwithstanding the fact that Cali
fornia has three times the area of Iowa
and in spite Of the fact that fruit rails
ing should tend to increase the number
of separate farms California has only
half as many farms as has Iowa.
And orchard farms at reputed values
of IS 900 per acre do not seem TO have
helped out average values very much
for those farms being half in number
are only half in value as compared to
the census takers valuation OF Iowa
farms
Nor is the production affected by the
fruit industry to any appreciable ex-
tent so far as the census takers opin-
ion goes since the combined orchard
and farm production OF California IS
given at about half the farm produc-
ton of Iowa.
Thus we have il that about the same
number Of people living in California
as are living in Iowa have three times
as much land at their disposal as the
Iowa people have. but they farm only
half as many farms and raise only halt
as much produce. 1t takes six mems
labor to produce on CALIFORNIA; farms
VIVA, Ave men can produce on Iowa
farms, for we find 60 per cent az much
rural population as in Iowa raising
half as much stuff on half u many
farms. Then we find more than twice
as many lying around In the towns to
ca, what is produced on the farms
and more automobiles in California per
capita than in Iowa It is easy TO see
why it Is that so many people who live
in California have to send home to
Iowa Tor money with which to pay
their board and gaeolene.
