Cooperation Of the managers of the
auto trucks operating out Of Richmond
in assisting Road Superintendent
Jones to keep roads in better condition
during the winter months was prom.
ised today at conference between
the truck drivers and the road super.
intendent at the court house. Opera
tors were in favor of discontinuing the
truck service when the roads were
soft.
Superintendent Jones insisted that
the hack owners use wider tires on
their trucks. Realizing that tires un.
der seven inches in width are damag.
ing to the roads, he will insist that all
owners, as soon as possible, take steps
to have seven or eight inch tires. Es-
pecially is this necessary for the rear
wheels, he said. The double tires are
not satisfactory. according to the ma.
jority Of the hack drivers this morn
ing.
According to law. any vehicle weigh
ing more than $500 pounds, Is not al.
lowed to use the roads in wet weather

pointments 70 be made tomorrow

hcally an assured fact that w. o.
Jones. present road superintendent
will be reappo pointed. No other appli-
cant has been mentioned for the posi-
ton although Robert Beeson, former
commissioner was expected to ask for
the job.
Mrs. Aurelia Thomas. present ma
tron at the Home Of the Friendless,
will undoubtedly be reappointed as
there is no other applicant as far as
can be learned. For several months
she has been unable to attend her
duties on account of illness but she is
expected to. recover sufficiently to
take over the work within a few
weeks.
The three janitors at the court
house will also be appointed but it is
anticipated that there will be no
changes. All of the men are appli-
cants for reappointment.
Although all Of the commissioners
have been close mouthed on the coun-
ty attorney appointment, 1t leaked out
today that Hoelscher will undoubtedly
be appointed. Cath Freeman, who has
applied for the position. will probably
be considered next year as Gustave

Fellow shopmen and brother mem

The Gorgons

The Gorgons were creatures of Greek
mythology, mentioned by Homer and
Euripides as being of peculiarly abhor-
rent aspect. Their hair was composed
of serpents, their bodies covered with
scales and girdled with reptiles with
heads erect, vibrating their tongues
threateningly, while the hands of the
Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons,
were of brass. The gaze of the mon
sters was deadly, all upon whom they
fixed their eyes being turned to stone.
One of the three terrible sisters was
conquered and beheaded by Perseus,
and as he took flight in the air en-
route for Ethiopia, holding the severed
head in his hands, the drops of blood
which fell from it became serpents,
which ever after infested the sands of

Notes About Birds

A peculiar Characteristic about birds
is that the young of those that build
nests in trees are blind when Matched
are naked, unable to walk and are fed
by the parent bird. Among the wad.
ing birds the young can walk, swim
and pick up food Immediately upon
leaving the egg. With birds, as with
higher animals, the females seem to
fancy bright colors and music; hence
Mother Nature. usually ornaments the
head, neck and tails Of the males that
they may find mates more readily. The
