set either a thunder storm or a
geometrical problem to music.
The Star doesn't criticise the merit
of German music. Like many other
things "made in Germany" it is good. |
At least, it is good for the Germans,
who have kindly tried to teach it to US.
They have not succeeded as well as
some who haven't tried to teach at all.
It's very true, as Mr.. Fishel says,
that German has a considerable place,
tho not by any means first place, in
popular music, and a selection well
played will bring the applause due TO
any other piece of work we'll done.
But if, at a concert or any other place
where plain Americans are present in
numbers, and you hear applause that
tells the peoples hearts have been
touched, you may be almost sure the
tune just played was American. If it
wasn't American it was probably
/ Scotch or Irish. "Annie Laurie" and
"Auld Lang Syne" have a frmer
place in the affections of Americans
than anything the greatest of Ger
man musicians ever composed.
Personally, the writer knows moth
ing about music, and in making the
remark that called forth Mr.. FishePs
criticism, and in defending the Star
from the said criticism, he has used
information furnished by people who
have a reputation of being well in
formed on the subject. Most of it i:
remembered from an article writer
by a composer of national reputation
who reviewed American and foreign
, music in leading magazine number
of years ago.

above the average Of the country as q
whole. Pennsylvania has only 4 per
rem 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 Is good enough for the
ready transportation Of his products
and his supplies and not SO expensive
that he is overburdened to build 1t or
maintain 1t. We need sand clay roads
and roads made of. gravel or other
readily available material.
The movement for federal aid for
good roads has depended on a number
Of factors, n Of the chief Of which
has been the influence Of the autOmO-
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 it up. The smallest unit to he
dealt with by the federal authorities
should be the state. which should de-
velop an organization in the state high
way department to handle the work.
The proportion in the allotment Of
funds to the various states seems to
have been a stumbling block in all
preceding legislation. This al be
solved by allotting 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 the
total post roads Of the United States
outside Of Incorporated cities. :

ADVANTAGES OF WIDE TIRES.

They Pull More Easily Than Marrow
Ones and Make Better Tracks.
Wide tired wagons pull more easily
than narrow tired ones 90 per cent Of
the times when they are used" says
F. A. Writ, instructor In farm mechan-
les in the Kansas State Agricultural
college. Professor Writ has Just com
pleted experiments with wide and with
narrow tired wagons.
Narrow tires pull harder than wide
tires. says Professor Writ, because the
narrow tire cuts deeper into the top
soil. The wide tire does not cut 20
deep and makes a better track on roads
which are Travelled while the ground
is soft. The wide tire packs the sur
face into u firm roadbed.
The experiments show that in cOrn
fields. plOwed fields. isld lanes and on
pasture and alfalfa land the draft Oh
the wide tire Is considerably less, no
matter what the condition Of the soil.
In places where the mud Is deep and
rolls up on the wheels In ruts made by
narrow wheels, or in a surface Of mud
with a hard ground beneath. the mar
row tire will pull more easily. The
narrow wheel dts the rut. on the hard
bottom Of which 1t runs. and it collects
less mud than the wide tire.
Width Of tire and height Of wheel
have a great effect upon the draft.
The usual width Of the narrow tire Is
n and three-fourths inches. while
the wide tire is usually three or four
inches wide. The tires used in the
tests m and three-fourths and
four inches wide respectively. Six
inch wheels are used only on low
trucks.
A farmer who can afford only one
wagon will find many factors entering
into his selection. II he has to 90
on the roads in all kinds OF weather
he will find the narrow tires better
because they will collect less mud
when the roads are bad. On the other
hand. II he goes only when the roads
are good or uses the wagon in the
fields a great deal he will find the
wide tire will be preferred because of
the lighter draft and less damage to
the fields.
One of the main points in favor of
the wide tires is that their use greatly
improves the rOadbed, as they will
pack the top soil. making the roadbed
Arm. and thus enabling it to drain
well in time Of rain. The wide tire
will not cut up the meadow or neld as
does the narrow tire. This is also i'm,
portant. as a smooth surface In the
meadow is much easier to NOW over.

Substitution of the Sword

The advantages Of Oiling city streets
are strikingly illustrated by a recent
statement relative to the saving ef-
fected in the cost Of sprinkling. re-
pairing and cleaning streets In the city
Of Oakland. Cal. During the year
191O-11 the cost Of sprinkling. accord
ing to the statement referred to.
amounted to $685.. The correspond
ing expenditure during the season
1911-12 was $S1. 466, during 1928 1t
was 1888 and during 1914 $685..
492, while the estimated cost for the
season 1914-15 was placed at $45.615.
In discussing these figures it was stat
ed that the fiscal year 1901 includ-
ed a wet winter. when the rainfall
was particularly heavy. and that, in
addition, during May and June. 1911.
certain retrenchments had to be made
on account of lack of funds. 80 that
the total expenditure for sprinkling
was less than might reasonably have
been expected. On the other hand.
the years Of 1911-12 and 1928 were
extremely dry. and had no Oiling been
done the annual cost Of sprinkling
might we'll have been nearly 100000.
Attention was also called to the fact
that the area sprinkled in 1901 was
smaller than the present area sprin-
kled. Since July l, 1911, the street de
partment has oiled owe ninety miles
of macadam roads, and to this is at
tributed the reduction in the cost Of
sprinkling as well as very material
savings I'm the costs Of repairing and
cleaning.
