the story goes, reproved his students
for coming late to class.
This Is class in English compost

At the next meeting one girl was

Concrete Roads.

The tremendous strides which have
been taken In concrete road construc-
ton during the past few years are
strikingly shown by the figures given
below.
Special attention can be drawn to
the record in the State of MARYLAND.
and that Of Milwaukee County III the
State OF Wisconsin.
This matter IL brought specially to
our attention by an interview with
Mr. Loring q Cover, President of the
Security Cement g. Lime Company,
Hagerstown, Maryland, who has Just
returned from a visit to Milwaukee
In company with other cement manu-
facturers to inspect the concrete
road systems in that vicinity. Mil
Waukee county is establishing one of
the best concrete road systems in the
country, which promises to become as
noted as that or Wayne county, Mich
igan. The state OF Maryland II also
becoming famous for this high type
OF road which it has adopted as its
standard.
The great advantage Of this type of
road Is not only its smooth surface
but its everlasting qualities, even IN
der heaviest traffic, especially auto
mobile traffic. 1t il 80 far the only
type of road in use which seems to
be proof against the disintegrating
tendencies Of the automobile. The
cost Of upkeep on this type or road
will be practically nothing for q num-
Der OF years. The resisting power
of the concrete road to severe traffic
has been illustrated in the Milwaukee
District and, also, in the State of
Maryland BY the movement over the
road OF number OF large traction
engines on iron wheels with cleats,
these engines bearing heavily loaded
wagons which were also on iron
wheels.
It is safe to say that additional
roads Of this type are going to Be
constructed in the sections In which
they have been started a. fast a.
money can be secured to build them.
The first cost of the concrete road
10 slightly higher than that OF the
best type Of macadam road, but far
cheaper In the long run.
Referring To the data following.
the State OF Maryland has decreased
its concrete road construction only
because the total appropriation by the
last Legislature has been exhausted,
and there Is cry arising all over the
State for additional appropriations
for these roads. The sections or the
State which are not enjoying the
blessings of good roads are COM
mendably jealous of the more favor
ed sections, and are going to demand
their rights.

British Transport Ramarsn Sunk by
Submarine.

Athens, Sept. 30.-The Greek gov

Gourkas who were survivors of the
British transport Ramazan, which was
sunk by a submarine. They were
sent Immediately to Malta on the
Messageries Maritimes steamer 81

The Ramazan evidently was carry

course taken might have been through
the Arabian sea. the Gulf of Alden, the
Red sea and the Suez canal into the

survivors were landed at Athens
makes IL probable the troops were Oh

Ing forgotten what real comfort was.
Then, again. the fearlessness is not OF
the dramatic heroic order you read of
In the papers.
"One comes gradually into the war
zone, and except for a few that are
sent back as nervous wrecks every
one gets gradually used to his position,
just as the people In London get used
to the risk of electric trans and motor
buses. The soldier knows he is In
initely increasing his risks, but even
then the individual risk from shell fire
Is not so very great
II have seen thousands of shells
burst harmlessly In fields, though. Of
course, every now and again there is a
disaster, such as a shell falling In a
platoon billet. The chance of a shell
falling on the house you are In is com
~paratively small. and II you are In the
open and lie fat when one Is coming,
unless by an outside chance it falls
right on top Of you Qn which case you
know nothing more) you are not even
wounded.
"A shell buries itself as 1t explodes

TO COMPLETE THREE HIGHWAYS
State Road Commission Distributes
sos, 500 to Counties for Work.


Denver.-The completion OF three
main highway projects of the state
will be possible this year b.! allot-
ments of highway funds, totaling
$105,600, which the State Highway
Commission made to the different
counties of the state. These projects
are the Arkansas River road between
Cotopaxi and Parkdale, which will
connect two large portions OF the
state and furnish road open almost
the entire year, the Ellwood Pass road
which will give an entrance to the
Mesa Verde National park and will
form the first highway connection be-
tween the southwestern part OF the
state and the remainder of Colorado,
and the North-and-South highway
from Denver to Wyoming.
The allotments to each county, ac-
cording to the division of the counties
