CONTROL OVER LOCAL ROADS
State Highway Departments Should
Be Given Some Measure Of Super
vision Over Thoroughfares.

The realization has become quite
general that, in order to render maxi
mum service, state highway depart
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance Of local roads. For this
class OF roads an amount exceeding
$3.50, 100000 is expended annually, with
comparatively little result to show IN
the form Of improved road mileage for
this great outlay. The state of Iowa
has met this situation by placing all
the road work in the state under the
direction of the state highway de-
partment-
Traffic Is increasing 80 rapidly rs to
cause excessive wear upon the roads,
especially in the vicinity Of congested
centers Of population. This results In
a heavy annual maintenance cost. av-
eraging in the large eastern states not
less than $3.50 per mile per annum.
Many experiments have been made In
the EFFORT to devise types Of road
which can be maintained at relatively
low cost. Thus far. aside from the
cheaper forms OF construction. the
states are depending upon the vari-
Gus forms of bituminous macadam.

valued traditions while giving sane
ton to the established use of roads
that have been traversed century or
more, says Baltimore American. There
is a strong movement the country
over for the honoring of the old roads
and trails. This is manifest in the
movement that contemplates a memo
rial highway to Abraham Lincoln. The
Old National Turnpike has clustering
about it traditions of history that
have been transformed into literary
lore under the magic pens of essay
lists and poets. In the far West agi-
tation for the preservation of the old
trails is gaining in strength, and the
Old Oregon, and the Old Whiskey and
other historic trails that date back to
times immemorial will doubtless be
preserved as far as possible and,
where obliterated by the path Of prog
ress, will be marked. Thus the trails
followed by the red men from Canada
even down to Central America will in
time be made matters of record and
reverence.
While sentimental and practical
considerations may not always be en-
braced In the conclusions Of the good
roads commission, yet these should
be and doubtless are considered to-
gether in so far as the commission has
enlightenment and understands the
sentiment of the communities af-
fected. But the main proposition is
that the people Of Maryland are unit

Your New House.

A house which is set closely among
trees should not be painted green or
olive. Colors contrasting with the sur
roundings are better for the body Of
the house. but it may have green trim
mings and roof If desired. A house
with shingled upper stories, as a rule,
should be painted on the lower story
q lighter shade than the shingles,
which may be Indian red. dark brown,
green or some olive shade. The body
should harrnonize as, for instance,

GAIN EXPORTS INCREASE.
Reports Show That Much Wheat and
Corn Have Been Exported.

Five times as much wheat and six
times as much corn were exported
from the United States in December
as in the same month in 1913; -four
exports increase more than 6S per
cent. for the same period; fresh beef
increased more than twelvefold, and
generally the exports of breadstufs,
which includes practically all the sta
pie grains, increased five times.
Those figures were disclosed Thurs
day by the department Of commerce
in response to inquiries as to what
extent foodstuffs were going abroad
with resulting abnormal prices at
home. The departments summary
says:
"Wheat exports In December ag-
gregate 2S,S75,217 bushels, or five
times the quantity in December, 1913,

VAN DYKE PROTESTS.
Says German Military Authorities Re-
strict His Messages.

Henry Van Dyke, the United States
minister to The Hague and also to the
Grand Duchy of LuXemberg, said
Thursday, says a dispatch from The
Hague, that he had appealed to the
government at Washington to pro-
test against German interference with
his duties as minister to Luxemberg.
He said his diplomatic communica-
tions with Luxemberg have been cut
off by the German military COM
mander at Trier (Treves), who had
refused to permit his letters to pass
because they were sealed with the
seal Of the American legation.
Dr.. Van Dyke has been trying for
four days through the friendly me-
dunn Of the German minister at The
Hague to obtain an explanation from
Berlin Of what he considers an inva-
sion of his diplomatic privileges, but
no answer has come from the Ger
man capital.
THAT statement Of facts. is cor
rect" said DR.. Van Dyke, according
to The Hague dispatch. "The action
Of the German commander at Trier
may have been a mistake Of ignor-
ance. but it must be explained and
apologiZed for.
"Luxemberg is a small country Of
100000 inhabitants, but the peace
full duties with which the American
government has charged me toward
that country are just as sacred as if
it were a hundred times as big.
"It was the first Of the neutral
countries to be invaded and appears
to be threatened with a failure Of the
food supply. I can not consent to in
reference with my duties toward
Luxemberg by any power in the
world except that which conferred
them upon me. namely, the govern
ment at Washington"

CALLS FOR SIX MILLS
APPROPRIATION BILL CONES UP
BEFORE HOUSE.
Measure Contains Special Provision
Of $4,000 for Legal Services to the
Governors Office.

The general appropriation bill was
presented to the House Wednesday
night. 1t shows careful work on the
part Of the ways and means commit
tee, and will probably meet no con-
siderable opposition in the House.
The bill carries the levy of six mills,
the same as last year. The levy in
1914 was six mills instead Of 5 Sd
mills.
Under the. bill reported Wednesday
night the levy is divided: FIVE mills
for ordinary purposes and l mill for
pensions, which are increased to
100000, an increase Of $4,000.
The one-mill levy will raise 100000,
and there is a provision that any
over-plus from the pension shall be
used for the current expenses Of the
State.
The bill this year shows a total Of
s2,212,065.50, as against a total in
1914 of s2,146,253.O4. The bill re-
ported Wednesday night shows an in
crease Of s65, 5,S12.46 over last years
total There is no provision for the
$4,000 borrowed for and by the
extraordinary session of the legisla-
ture, that being covered by notes and
will be absorbed by the increased
revenue due to the s10,000,000 in
crease in assessed values of proper
ty.
The increase Of $4,000 Is shown
in slight necessary increases in the
appropriations for the asylum, the
medical college, Winthrop college
and the University. For the State
Fair $4,000 is provided.
Among the larger items in the bill
as reported are: Confederate pen
sions, 100000; tick eradication,
100000: agricultural extension work.
S15,6e1; Winthrop college, s1,S,-
1882: University of South Carolina.
s1G3,251.44; Merical College Of
South Carolina, $4,000; State ware
house system, s17,337.63; Hospital
for the Insane, S309,100; Deaf, Dumb
and Blind Institute, $4,000; the Cit
adel, $4,000.
The purpose Is to provide in the
appropriation bill for maintenance
only at the asylum. A separate bill
is to be presented, providing for a
half-mill special levy for five years,
and with this fund of s750,000, to be
raised at the rate Of s150,000 an
nualiy, it is proposed to improve the
asylum property, bring it up to date
and add the improvements recon-
mended and urged for years.
There is a special provision for
$4,000 for legal services for the gov
ernor's Office.
The $4,000 provided for the cot
ton warehouse system Is the reap
preparation Of $4,000 unerpended
balance and $4,000 for the purchase
|Gf corrugated iron with which to
erect warehouses, and which, is to be
refunded to the State. The idea is
that the warehouse system should
buy the iron in large lots and sell it
at cest.. S.--s-;' -
The estimate filed with the comp
troller general would have necessi-
tated a seyen-nill levy, but the COM
mittee pruned the requests and made
no provision to pay the obligations
involved in the recent holding of the
extraordinary session Of the legisla-
ture.
