BEST ROADS IN WORLD.
United States Rapidly Pushing to the
Front a. q Road Builder.

United States Rapidly Pushing to the
Front AZ . Road Builder.
The United States, through state and
federal aid, is approaching an era of
road building which within the next
ten years, it is predicted, will give to
this country the best system Of high
ways In the world. Progress has been
slow because Of opposition in some
states by the farmers to loans and the
fear on the part of the voters that the
system would fall into the hands Of
politicians. Most of the states have
built improved highways by bond is-
sues. Where this system has been en-
ployed the greatest progress has been
made.
The problem Of road transportation
Is one OF the chief questions before this
country, says j. E. Pennypacker, chief
Of the division Of road economics Of
the department Of agriculture. 1t costs
the farmer % cents a ton a mile to
haul his product to the railroad or the
consumer. where the roads are unim-
proved. More than 35O.O00,O 900 tons are
hauled over these roads each year. and
the bill for hauling is $3.50, 100000. The
cost per ton mile for hauling on hard
surfaced roads docs not exceed ID
cents.
The automobilist is paying largely for
the building OF the good roads. There
are 193,OD automobiles registered in
the United States who pay a total of
more than Sl3.OON.00O annually in regis
tration fees. Forty-two states have ess
tablished highway departments for Ell
ncational or administrative work, and
of these thirty have made appropria-
tionS in aid of road construction or
maintenance. In all $20S, 600. 1000 had
been appropriated from state funds be-
tween 1891 and Jan. I. 1915. for con-
StructiOn, maintenance, administration
ard educational road work, and a to-
tai of about $1,000 miles Of improved
roads is the rcsllt. These roads were
built for the most part rs a joint state
and local undertaking. so that a large
local outlay not included in the state
total was involved.
According to the latest figures re-
ceived by the department Of agricul-
tire Pennsylvania has built more than
1000 miles Of road at a cost of o
than S2O,OOO,O 600. New York has eX
pended $SO.OOO.OO0. Massachusetts and
Connecticut have raised their funds for
road building by bonds and the apply
ing of the automobile license fees for
that purpose.
Under average conditions macadam
roads can be built in southern states ut
from $4,000 to- $4,000 a mile, gravel
roads at from $500 to $4,000 a mile
and sand clay and topsoil roads at
from $500 to $500 a mile. In New
England and the other eastern states
macadam roads cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 a mile. gravel roads 5000 to
$4,000 and bituminous macadam from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The average cost Of state highways
constructed in Ohio in 1913 was $3.50
In California the first 1856 miles Of the
state system of highways cost $S.143
Il mile.

Don't dye gray hair. 1t is q never

deception rarely deceives any one. The
lines that care and experience and
thought have written into every ma.
ture face require the softening effect

must he kept spotlessly clean, washed
often. Use only the best and purest
liquid soap. as free from alkali as pos
sible, and treat it as the laundress does
her fine linen. Put it through many
rinsings to get rid Of every particle of
soap. the last one being quite cool and
deep blue with indigo, Let the hair
rest in this for d few moments. moving
it about in the bath so as to absorb
as much of the bluing az possible, and
then dry it thoroughly with warm tow
els and vigorous rubbing. The bluing
serves to soften the dulled, lifeless look
which always results from washing
gray hair and gives uniformity of shad-
ing. Streaked locks in gray hair are
it's worst feature. and especially is this
true Of blond gray hair.
Rub the scalp then with white a
line, taking care not to let it get upon
the hair, and brush Thrush it vigor-
ously night and morning to give it the
sllvery cleaning that is so beautiful in
well kept gray hair.

New York has just stepped into the
ranks of those states putting INDECENT
widowed mothers on its payrolls. The
law took effect July 1, and 1t is esti-
mated that in New York city alone
there are upward Of 1900 widowed
mothers and perhaps three times as
many children to be provided for. No
larger sum may be given to any moth
er, according TO this law, than would
support her children in an asylum.
This means $40 a month for each mi
nor child, for that is the amount OF
board paid by the state for the board
of each orphaned boy and girl.
This law does not include cases
where the family has resided less than
two years in the county or where the
father was not a citizen at the time of
his death. Besides New York. the
mothers pension law goes into effect
this year in Tennessee, Wyoming and
Arizona. In these four states at least
1000 families will be reunited and
three times as many children taken
from public institutions.

Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire,

GRAVEL ROADS IN W

Have Proved Satisfactory, as 10 Exem-
pIified by Greene County Highways.
The question Of %surfacing roads is
being given more than the usual share
Of attention this year throughout the
length and breadth Of the corn belt
because Of the impossible condition OF
highways in many localities. due to
the abnormal rainfall, says the Iowa
Homestead. Automobile owners are
literally up in arms over the present
system Of roadmaking. and Of course
in the corn belt these are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands ut the pres
ent time. The number is being rapid
ly supplemented by farmers, who are
complaining Of their inability to mar
ket produce under favorable conditions,
and. all in all, the agitation is direct
ing special attention to ways and
means of improving dirt roads in some
other fashion than that Of dragging
them.
Because of the attention given to the
subject 1t is interesting to turn to the
example of IL county in Iowa. where
there are 100 miles Of good gravel
roads. This system Of roadmaking.
which has been in evidence In Greene
county for many years. has given to
that county a reputation which ex-
tends far beyond the boundary of the
state.
In the making of these roads a good
grade is first thrown up. and afterward
IN eight inch coating Of gravel Is
placed in the center of the highway.
1t requires approximately 2.2OO yards
per mile Of finished road, and most of
this has been put in place at a cost of
% cents per yard. This cost includes
the leveling of the gravel to a width of
eight feet in the center Of the road.
and in addition the amount mentioned
will make a strip four inches deep.
four feet wide on each side Of the
more heavily graveled strip. This
means that sixteen feet of the highway
is surfaced in such IL way that it makes
a firm roadbed, n that will stand all
reasonable traffic in all kinds of
weather.
1t is not herein intimated that the
example of Greene county can be fol-
lowed in every county. because Of the
lack Of similar surfacing materials.
However, the experience thus far in
that county indicates that enthusiasm
for surfaced roads very rapidly
spreads. A ten mile strip will be gray
eled this year, and. satisfactory at this
material has been. there is some senti-
ment being created in the country ia
vorable to the use of a more permanent
material. such as concrete or brick.
The supposed advantage of these ma
terials over that Of gravel Is that for a
series Of years there will be no main
tenance cost, whereas in the case Of
gravel there IL more or hess patching
and repairing work required every sea-
son.
