AUTOMOBILES AND GOOD ROAD


We have heard a lot of loose talk
about automobiles destroying country
roads We are told that they pick
UP dust and make ruts We are not
told that while wagons pick up mud
merely to drop it in a manner to
prevent the water from running
away, the automobile leaves the ruts
smooth and thus permits the water
to run off. If automobiles were run
over the roads after every rain it
would do more to prevent the wa
ter from soaking into the road beds
than anything else save the King
drag. Another thing the automobile
is not guilty Of destroying our roads.
On the other hand the automobile
is going to be the agency for con-
verting the people of Wisconsin to
the good roads proposition. It is
said, and it is true, that automobile
owners constitute the mass of the
good roads advocates of the state.
In this connection let it be noted
that of the 10000 new automobiles
that have been sold in Wisconsin

THE one essential is that the bullets

In the first place the targets at which
field artillery must fire may be any
where from 1000 10 10000 yards or
even farther from the gun. 4 man at
5000 yards presents a very different
importance from the people whom we
meet In turning the street corner. The
ldinicultios in seeing individual men or

laVay are very greatly increased when
We remember that those men are hid
