PusLIc ROAD MILEAGE.

agriculture is now gathering fnfcrma
ton which. when complete, should no
only give the total mileage of public
roads in the United States and then
cost. bat should serve as basis Tol
estimating the relative value OF tins
different kinds of highways. Some Is.
nHa sets of inquiry blanks have al
ready been distributed through the
state highway commissions, and SONS
OF these are now beginning to come
back to the department. Each set con
sists OF four cards.
OF these the first asks for intoTma
ton on the mileage of different classes
OF roads in the county To which It Is
sent The mileage does not include,
OF course, streets In cities and towns.
The roads ars divided into ten classes
as follows: Brick paved, concrete.
macadam with the addition o, some
substance such as asphalt, OIL, OF tar.
plain macadau. gravel. she'll. other
hard surfaced roads, sand and clay
mixture properly graded and drained,
ordinary earth roads properly con-
stTucted, and, finally. un.mproved
roads.
The second card asks for Informs
ton in regard TO the tax rate for the
reads and the amount OF work and
money expended on them.
The third blank is concerned with
the names of local road officials, and
the fourth with facts in regard to the
bond issues and the indebtedness OF
the counties for their road systems.
AS there are approximately 5000
counties in the United States, in many
Of which the mileage has never even

HOW TO REACH THE
MASSES" IS SUBJECT
Of BROOKS SERMON
Special Musical Numbers
Given AT Christian Re-
vival Meetings

Again a marked increase in the at.
tendance at the Brooks-Fitz revival
last night gave evidence of growing
interest. Several special musical num-
bers were well rendered and much APP
preciated. Evangelist Brooks spoke ON
/" How to Reach the Masses" and he
gave forceful sermon, replete and ricn
with graphic illustrations. His mes
sage was based on Matthew 4-29, and
emphasized the methods of Jesus, con
trasted with the methods employed by
the church today
Jesus went out to men, hunted them
up. He was no recluse, no hermit, nd
acetic, no ecclesastic.
He preached the gospel. 1t was not
politics, nor mere rhetoric, not philos
opny, not science.
He was pre-emnently teacher. He
taught men. He taught them by pre-
cept and example.
He healed them Of all their diseases.
The church today has not miraculous
power, but there is gospel in a loaf of
bread The church should minister to
the temporal needs of lost and hun
CRY and suffering humanity.
The subject tonight will be, "Saving
Soul from Death Mrs. Swart will
play cornet solo with clarinet obi
cato by her brother. Other special
numbers will be introduced.
