REPORT OF TEN CENT FUND.
Mrs Maxwell Evarts Thanks Contrib
utors for Generous Response.

The Ten Cent Fund for the relief Of
Belgians which was solicited in the au-
tumn was closed some time ago and the
amount of $:5S was sent to the treasurer
OF the Vermont Red Cross. Absence
from Windsor and illness since my re
turn have delayed me in making my
acknowledgements | wish to send an
itcmizcd hist Of all donations to the
press, but as the Vermont journal has
not space fer it this week it will be
published in the next issue and in other
papers. ! 10 not, however wish to de-
lay longer in thanking the contributors.
When the fund was started | hoped
that there would be so many donations
that it would be necessary to make a
weekly acknowledgement, but l sup
pose that the people of the state were
working through many private commit
tees or through the Vermont chapter
so it was unnecessary to send weekly
reports.
! thank the contributors heartily fo1
their generous response to my appeal
and for the many kind and encourag
ing letters, fer which it Is difficult tC
express my gratitude. The cordial wa
in which the gifts were sent made my
work y double happiness and I beg
each contributor 70 accept my heartfelt
thanks.

DYNAMITE AT FAIR.
Attempt TO Blow Up Japanese Build
ing il, San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 24-An at
tempt to blow up the japanese building
at the Panama Pacific exposition was
discovered by janitor, who found in
the basement beneath 4 huge show
case Il stick of dynamite, the fuse half
burned
Every effort was made to keep the
affair secret. but a guarded story was
published in q local japanese paper
1t is rumored that several other
sticks OF dynamite were found in the
building. but rather than to aeknowl-
edge that one stick was found the To-
cal japanese consul will not discuss
the subject
A searching Investigation is in prog
ress. but SO far there is no clue to inc
identity of the man who attempted to
perpetrate the act.
From prominent persons in the Jap
anese colony has come the information
that the government in Toxic has been
appraised of the act and that much
feeling has been created not only
among the japanese in this city but in
Japan as well.
in the local colony it has been as
serted that had the plan to destroy TIVE
auilding been successful it is doubt
full if the Japanese government could
have withstood the clamor for reprisa
bv force.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
TWIN BEDS A LAUGH FESTIVAL.
Rapid Shift of Unexpected Situations
Opera House Tomorrow.

1t is both embarrassing and terrify-
inc for n Young wife to arise in the
morning. slip her little feet into mules
and run across the bedroom floor to
the other twin bed and call +" Harry
without any response from the sleeping
figure.
1t is terrifying to pull down the
sheet and discover on the pillow the
head of an Italian tenor. with whom
YOU have had a mild filtration. still
wearing a battered silk hat. Terror
amounts to horror on the discovery
that the singer is clad in your hus.
band = favorite blue pajamas.
While you are trying to extract an
explanation, it causes panic TO hear
your husband rattle the door knob and
enter, as your quandom adlmrer seeks
safety under your twin bed.
Here is situation which the drama
fist Margaret MAYO has handled with
extreme delicacy, but with the utmost
humnr. IT is succession of peals OF
merriment and spasIns of laughter. Ihe
suggestion of the risquc disappears IN
the clever dialogue and the rapid shift
in unexpected situations.
Twin Beds is still the laughing fes-
tival Of New York and is IN the sixth
month of its carnival of merriment at
the Fulton theatre, with no signs of
waning interest.
Selwvn & Co have acceded TO in

REAL POWER
A test that shows the Cadillac to be
the car for the Vermont hills

The remarkable strength of the Cad
lilac eightcylinder motor was abund-
antly proven recently in Baltimore
when one of the new cars succeeded in
hauling a 23-tOn marble slab loaded on
6-ton wagon TO its destination, after
Is horses working together had failed
to move the heavy load any consider
able distance
This regiment of horses had drag
ged the stone but short distance,
when the Standard Motor company.
Baltimore, distributors of the Cadillac.
decided to hitch one of the new eight
cylinder models to the stone. The Cad
lilac people were laughed at, as they
were told that several motor trucks
had tried the same thing and ha,-
failed and they should know that this
Cadillac eight couldn't have as much
power and strength as a big motor
truck
Nothing daunted by this talk the
Cadillac people tightly secured the
ropes from the wagon on which the
stone was being hauled TO the frame
Of the Cadillac eight chassis and gave
the chauffeur the signal to 20 ahead.
To the utter establishment Of the hun
bred or more people crowded around
the automobile hauled the stone sew
eral blocks, where it was left for the
night. The next day the Cadillac
eight again put in its appearance and
taking the place of the horses haul,d
the marble slab at the rate Of 1C
miles an hour to its destination.
Commenting upon this feat, Manage
Albion l.. Danforth of the Cadillac
Automobile company of Boston SAYS
''ThCre is no other automobile in til,
country, of four or six cylinders. whicl
could perform the same stunt as III,
this Cadillac eight, believe. Thi
test shows the remarkable power an,
strength of our ear and Just how tn

Experience in Muncie Proves
Original Cost Greater, Up
keep Expensive and Re-
pairs Soon Needed.

The serious consideration given to
the proposal for the use of asphalt as
a pavement for Richmond streets.
calls attention to the experience which
other cities have had with that ma.
terial.
The only advantage asphalt has
compared with other materials is that
1t makes a noiseless street. Over
against this is the positive fact that
the life Of asphalt is short and that
the upkeep is an expensive one
Muncie has had bitter experience
with asphalt. The actual life of that
material has been found to be five
years. The first asphalt used in Mum
Gle was in 1894. These streets were
resurfaced in 1906 but they had been
patched in many places before this
work was done.
Slow to Make Repair.
In 1907 there was another move to
resurface, and after advertising three
times in that year and receiving no
bids. the city gave up in despair. This
happened again the next year.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-04-30
TRIALS SHOW ASPHALT STREETS
Cannot STAND UP UNDER WEAR

The Barber Asphalt company had
promised to repair the streets as soon
as repairs were necessary After the
repeated failure Of the city to get bids,
the company made it plain that they
would move a plant to the city as
soon as there were 10000 yards of re-
pair work to do. When the company
finally agreed to come, there were al
most $4,000 yards of repair work, and
the city had just succeeded in getting
the work done. In most cases brick
was used instead of asphalt.
Repairs Expensive.
1t has been proved in Muncie that
the cost of repair with asphalt is
more expensive than brick. the origi-
nal cost was greater The original
cost of asphalt in Muncie was $2.O8 a
yard, while the cost Of brick at that
time was $2.05. Brick succeeded as
phalt in Muncie as a result
The practical monopoly of asphalt
prevented Muncie from getting the re-
pair work when she needed it most
AS result the streets quickly deterio-
rated. Water standing in holes and
helping the dissolution of the streets.
In the spring, frosts showed that the
holes has permitted the elements to
disintegrate the surface
Muncie also found that asphalt was
harder to keep clean than brick. Prop
er care was regarded as impossible in
Muncfe because of the great cost Of
attending to them. j
