agriculture for 1914 asserts that from
thirty to forty per cent OF the money
spent by local governments in road
building has been wasted or misdirect-
ed, and the estimate Is doubtless too
conservative, but it serves its purpose
by illustrating n more d~eploraDle
condition of in~eficiency in the spend
ing of public money. The country
needs Community roads" and there
cannot be too many of them. Official
estimates are to the effect that it costs
t~wenty-three cents under existing con-
ditions to haul a ton a mile on the
average country road, and that this
could be reduced by one-half on prop
erly constructed and maintained roads.
AS a nation we lave taken some
pride in the f. 1T that we have discover
ed in the last alf dozen years means
for reducing the loss of life in he
mines. 1t has been a matter of public
knowledge for many years that thirty
per cent of the local mine fatalities
were caused by mine explosions. 1t is,
therefore, gratifying to learn that in
a single year this percentage was re-
duced to about thirteen per cent.
The bureau of standards has done
many important things, among which
has been the Introduction of methods
whereby rails could be prevented from
spreading, thus saving human lives.
The bureau also perfected devices to
eliminate the glare" of headlights,
thereby lessening the danger of auto
mobile travel upon the public high
ways. The question of safety in
maintenance and operation of electric
generating stations and sub-statiOns
and of the overhead and underground
distributing wires in connection there
with has been another subject that has
occupied the attention of the bureau,
and the results have been indicated by
compiling safety rules, which Will un-
doubtedly lessen the number of acct
dents and deaths in this class of work.
In regulating weights and measures
much has been accomplished, although
effects have not been as ~farreaching
in some respects as might have been
expected as witness the announcement
made by the bureau itself that "the
head division has tested 1T Their
furnished to n of the gov
eminent bureaus, and rejected all of
them because they were found to have
been made of inferior glass unsuited to
thermometer use" The bureau com
ments that such work will serve as a
sharp reminder to the manufacturer
that the standard Of quality must be
maintained in this respect"

Why is il better to turn the valve al
~ternately when grinding than to turn il
completely around?
1t is better to oscillate the valve than
to turn it around completely for the
reason hat In the latter case there is
a chance of growing the seat with the
grinding compound.

10 there any harm in shifting gears
over railroad tracks or rough roads7
Gear shifting while crossing railroad
tracks Is poor practice for the reason
that the engine may be stalled and diff
fculty had in starting 1t again. Many
fatal accidents have occurred because
Of the engine stalling on the tracks.
There is no harm done to the mechan-
ism In shifting either on the tracks or
rough roads any more than there is In
shifting on good roads.

What is the advantage of tho two
point magnetic.
The two point magnetic feeds to two
sets Of spark plugs, causing two sparks
to occur In a cylinder at the same
time. This increase In heat value Of
the spark causes increased flame prop
agatlon OF flame spreading, and hence
better combustion and more power is
obtained.

CLASS MEMORIALS TO BE CHANGED TO
 NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Windows Given By Grad1. ates will Be Removed
 From Old Schoolhouse

Bridgeport's new high school will have some Of the ha11owed associations that make the old dear to the hearts of many persons who obtained their early education there, as result of the ac- tiyities of some of the members of the old classes. The beautiful stained glass windows, which were donated by graduating bodies, will be removed to the new school house.
 The. windows are handsome works of art and are inscribed with the class numerals and the class notices. Most of them are in the front of the assem- bly, hall just over the platform on which the higher classes sit and which the student body in general, faces. One is in the rear of the assembly hall They were donated by classes mostly in the s0s
 The associations about these win dOWs are dear to the early graduates of. the school, most of whom arc now prominent in the civic and social life of the community. They have com municated during the last few weeks and have arranged to have the win doWs placed in the new school
 A strange fact about the transfer Of the windows is causing comment. De- spite the fact that glass, frames and other material will be Saved in the new high school by using the old win dows, the contractors have demanded several hundred dollars to do the work it is said. Collections are being made among the alumni for the purpose of meeting this bill. It is declared how ever, that the tax is unjust.

ENGLAND TELLS PLAN TO SHUT GERMANY OFF
 FROM SEA CONNER CE
Summary
 OF THE w ar News

A new phase of the campaign in the east has developed in an attempt of Austro-German forces in Gahcia to relieve Przemysl. For this purpose the center has been shifted westward, following the recent ineffective movement. in eastern Gahcia and troops have been concentrated to lift the siege of the Galtcian fortress whose resistance month after month to the investing Russian army has been one of the strik- ing episodes of the campaign.
 A Paris newspaper published a report that before his resigna- ton. Premier venizeIos., of Greece, offered 5000 men to the entent powers for the Darda- ne11es expedition. The former premier is now quoted as urging the abandonment of neutrality by Greece on the ground that by striking now she will be able to expand her territory largely. Greece is represented as consid- ering the expediency of entering the war but as being undecided whether in such event she would assist Turkey or her opponents.
 The Young Turks, under whose leadership Turkey went into the war are said to find their pres ent position in ConstantinopIe difficult one, and one report from Greek sources is that they may flee from the capital. The British admiralty announces that the steamers F1orazan, Head lands and Hartdale previously reported torpedoed by German submarines although 1t was not known definitely whether they had sunk, had all gone to the bottom.
 French and Belgium offensive operations at present rest chief .ly with the allies whose activf- ties are interpreted in London as preliminary to general at tack in the spring. Tn Belgium. Champagne and the Argonne se- parate movements are underway although apparently little ground has been gained except that won by the British near Neuve Cha belle.

WILSON IN FRIENDLY NOTE
 WARNS CARRANZA OF PERIL
 OF OUTRAGES TO RELIGIOUS
Blockade of Port of Progresso Is Lifted learned Today That Last Week Mexican Gunboat Halted With
 Shot Both United States and British Ships

Washington. March 15.-Wa arning Carranza of the peril that turks in apparent contempt for representa- tives of the religious orders. President Wilson in a friendly note to the Mex about a very apparent betterment of conditions
 Carranza has lifted the blockade of the port of Prosresso where, last week, it was learned to-day for the first tame, there was gun fire from a Mexican Sunboat to halt both Ameri< can and British shipping.
 General Carranza has abandoned his blockade of the port of Progresso on urgent representations by the Unit ed States.
 The Mexican gunboat Zaragosa has been called off and two American ships laden with sfsaI for the United out interference.
 Rear Admiral Caperton, command ing the fleet in Mexican waters, re- ported the raising of the blockade 1h his official despatchess searIy to-day and reported that the Zaragosa had re- crossed a new note from the United States which was sent on it's way to Carranza this morning.
 It became known for the first time to-day that last week 8 Mexican gun boat had stepped one American ship with a shot acress her bows, had held up another and had interfered with British shipping
 The United States had served ne- tee on General Carranza that the port Of Progresse, through which practi- eaIly all the sisaI used in making haf= vesting tvTiile for this country is e1s- fained, must be kept open and that 1t was prepared to back uB it's de-

 President Wilson's reply to General ACarranza's note of March 8 which was In response to urgent representations of the United States for better treat Inent of foreigners in Mexico, was as follows.
 T thank you for your message of the 9th of March, for the reassl1ran- ces it conveys and for your kind per- sonal words. beg that you will 11n- derstand that if our messages of neces- sfty are couched in terms of strong emphasis, it is only because they con tain some matters which touch the very safety of Mexico itself and the whole possible course of it's future history,
 we seek always to act as friends of the Mexican people and as their friends it is our duty to speak very plainly about the grave danger which threatens them from without, what ever happens within their border

 Amy attempt to Justify or explain these things will not eradicate this sentiment or lessen the danger that will arise from them,
 tsIze warn you concerning such mat ters is an act of friendship, not of hostility, and we cannot make the meaning too earnest. To speak less plainly or with less earnestness would be te conceal from your a terrible risk which no lover of Mexico should care f1f r47v1
