above the average OF the country as a
whole Pennsy Ivania has only 4 pei
cent OF its roads improved
The farmer is not especially inter
ested In highways Too much atten.
ton has probably been given roads OF
this type. What the farmer wants Is
a road which il good enough for the
ready transportation OF his products
and his supplies and not SO expensive
that be IL oyerburdened to build it OF
maintain IT, We need sand clay roads
and roads made OF gravel or other
readily available material.
The movement for federal aid fof
good roads has depended on number
Of factors. one OF the chief Of which
has been the influence of the auton1o
bile owner and manufacturer. In ad
dition TO this, there have been de
mands made on congress for high
ways connecting cities. which have
been planned to parallel railway and
trolley lines. Altogether about fifty
bills have been introduced.
Legislation for good roads should in
volve cooperation between the states
and the federal government Under
this cooperation the states should fur
nish funds equal to those appropriated
by the government or double those set
aside through federal appropriations;
second, a combined federal and state
fund should be used for construction
only. the states assuming all respon-
sibility for maintenance. The govern.
ment cannot commit itself TO expense
for maintenance for an indefinite pc
Rod. and the community which uses the
road reasonably should be expected
to keep II up. The smallest unit to be
dealt with by the federal authorities
should be the state. which should de
veiop an organization in the state high
way department to handle the work.
Thes proportion In the allotment OF
unds to the various states seems to
have been stumbling block In all
preceding legislation. This can be
solved by ailotting federal funds TO the
states on the basis. first. OF the ratio
Of the area of the state to the total
area of the United States; second. the
ratio Of the population Of the state to
the total population and. third. the
ratio Of mileage OF post roads to ths
, total post roads of the United States
outside Of Incorporated cities.

ELECTRIC SPARKLING.
light on Puzzle That Has Worried
Many Car Owners.

1t Il q sad and common experience TO

but when put back into position Ii will
not work. This Is a puzzle TO great
many people today.
The reason lies In the simple fact
that the spark. when IL takes place In
the cylinder. has to spark In compress
ed gas, and when In the air IT doesn't.
Ii Is q wei known scientific fact that
the pressure Of the gas determines how
far a spark will jump under given
voltage II the spark jumped quar-
ter Inch In thn open air and was placed

on the other hand. II placed In com
pressed cir Il would not Jump more
than fraction Of abe quarter inch OF
course the thing to do In the cireuSn-
stances is 10 get new batteries, and II
SO situated that that II impossible the
two little terminals OF the spark plug
should be pushed closer together. Then
the spark will pass In the compressed
gas inside the cylinder

The so-cailed 1--we per cent" clause
Of the tariff law, granting a rednc-
ton of duties to that amount on
goods imported in American ships,
has been sustained by the customs
court, which held also that the FIVE
per cent. rebate must be granted on
all goods imported in ships of those
countries with which the United
States has favored nation" treaties.
As such treaties exist with the prin-
cipal countries of the world, the effect
of the decision is virtually to reduce

Niiy Old u Hung Change Rshuks Thst
Was Linked With . Afink.

There Is a curious story CONCERNING
The FIRST locomotive ever seeis IN China.
Ii Hung Chang was given permission
to construct a railway from the sea To
his mines upon the condition that
steam power should not be used. and
for several mouths the cars were haul
I'll by mules.
Then Mt Kinder and some OF the
foreign machinists secretly construct
ed locomnsive out OF such material
ms they could fsnsi In China. It was a
rude affair. and " was never able to
make more than Eve or six miles an
hour. but II was a great advantage over
the mule teams. for It could haul seven
or eight cars OF coal NJ that speed.
where it took four mules to haul one.
But when the mandarsns at Pekin
learned that foreign devils were using
q DIRE eating monster on the railway
they Immediately made a tremendous
fuss about II and, called Ii Hung
Chang to account for violating his con
ccssion.
The old gentleman took It very cool
~ and pretended not 10 know anything
about II. but he aStcrward restored
himself In favor by issuing an order
rebuking Mr.. Kinder and his associates
for their presumption and forbidding
them to Introduce any more new fan
eied foreign notions into China. Short
~ after he secrctly patted them ON the
back and raised their pay.
The excitement aniefcd down and
was soon forgotten. Then Mr.. Kinder
got up steam In his clumsy old engine
again and was allowed 10 run 1t with
out Interference. Later couple Of
regularly made locomotives were I'm
ported from Europe and have since
been hauling the coal trains on that
road.

The recent arrival in Bangor, in one
shipment, of five freight cars loaded
with goods from a maiLorder house
for distribution by mail in eastern
Maine, should arouse the merchants
OF the State to the maii-order
menace. This is not a new thing; 1t
has been going on for months. The
mail order houses ship in large guam
titles by freight to a central point,
and then distribute by parcel post.
This is good business on the part Of
the mail order houses; they are not
to be blamed. The blame rests with
those people who patronize the mail
order houses to the sacrifice Of their
home interests. Many of these peo-
pie expect the local merchant to give
them long time credit; they do not
ask credit of the mail-order house,
for they know they would not get it..
90 they send money already due their
local merchant. On the face Of 1t
they believe they are saving money;
in reality they are committing COM
munity suicide. Mayor Hagerthy, Of
THE city, In announcing HE candidacy
for the republican nomination for
governor, suggested State legislation
TO combat the mail order menace.
We are not clear a. to how this could
Be done without coming in confiic.
With inter state commerce laws or
constitutional rights, but the issue
between local trade and the mali
order house ID being more and more
sharply drawn, and demands atten-
don.
