DIRT ROAD IS THE CHEAPEST
Most Satisfactory Highway in Nine
Tenths of Terrtory-Big objec-
ton to Macadamized Roads.

The time may come when we can
make cement roads. They will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile and they
may be so smooth, if we learn to make
them properly, that the children liv-
ing on these lines of road can go to
school on roller skates, as they do in
some places down in Maryland.
There may be some satisfactory
combination Of sand and clay; but,
speaking for the prairie lands, the best
and the cheapest road we can get over
nine-tenths of the territory is the dirt
road, The more clay there is in it,,
the better the dragged road will be.
There is no better road than the gum
DO road, if it is properly dealt
with
1t is really pity that the drag is so
simple and cheap. If it had cost $25
or $50, and was painted red, then the
farmers would think something of it.
The main reason why it has not come
into more common use is that it is so
cheap and simple in construction and
so easy to handle.
Someone may ask: Why is it that
there was no objection to macadam-
lied roads twenty or thirty years ago?
Simply because we did not have the
automobile. MacAdam, that Scotch

Task for ENGINEERS.

The builders Of the Alaskan North
ern line, after laying many miles of
track along the banks of the Placer
river on a specially constructed and
heavy embankment during a particu-
larly severe winter, had both embank-
ment and rails swept away in the
spring by the river floods. On anoth-
er portion of the route, along the steep
mountain sides, the rails were swept
into the valley through the slipping
away of great chunks of the mountain
sides.
From beginning to end, it was a
fierce fight against the forces of ma
ture, and after some seventy.one miles
of rails had been laid work was aban-
doned on account of its prohibitive
cost 1t Is the governments intention
to carry this line right into the heart of
the country to Fairbanks, To accom-
plsh this some particularly deep can
yons will have to be bridged and much
swampy ground negotiated, which will
demand all the pluck and logged de-
termination of the engineer.

DIVISION OF RAILROAD WORK
Less Than Fifth of Employees Are
Actually Employed on the
Trains.

More persons are required to keep
railroad tracks in shape than to run
trains over them. Also more men are
employed in railroad shops than on
trains. Those engaged on the trains
constitute only 1917 per cent of the
total railroad employees. Direct train

| USE WIRELESS APPARATUS
Many Lines Have Become Convinced
That the System Is an Improve
ment of Value.

Wireless telegraphy may come to
ton. The Delaware &. Lackawanna
Railroad company experimental with
wireless telegraph in 1909, but the ap-
paratus at that time was not suffl-
GENTLY developed to be of much prac-
teal value. Later experiments have
been attended with more success. In
1913 wireless stations were installed
at Scranton and Binghamton and it
was found that service between these
stations was as satisfactory as the
Morse system. Limited passenger
trains were equipped with wireless
apparatus and satisfactory communi-
cation with the fixed stations estab-
lished. From moving trains to the
fixed stations a distance of 1870 miles
can be covered, the low antennae nee
essary on the passenger trains making
a longer range impossible The aerials
on trains must, of course, be of eX-
tremely limited hight owing to the
necessity for passing under bridges

the train or change of direction en-
route does not affect the operation of
the wireless, which can be used even
while passing through tunnels. The
principal use of the wireless SO far is
as an auxiliary to the regular tele-
graph system. Normal communica-
ton is often stopped by storm which
blows down wires and poles. In such
a case the wireless can be resorted to
and communication re-established. In
March, 1914, severe storm wrecked
pole lines in several eastern states
and the only means Of communication
for ten days was the wireless, and in
December an ice storm stopped ordi-
nary communication and the wireless
was used for three days. The Scien-
tific American states that results in
these cases were entirely satisfac-
tory.

ROAD BREAKER Is CIVILIZER
Mans Scale Is Very Correctly Tested
by His Attitude Toward Some
Obstruction in Road.

The civilized man makes roads;
safest test of civilization.
Among us in all communities are
individuals who are not really civil
lied. They do not take any interest in
roads.
A mans scale in civilization is very
correctly tested by his attitude to-
ward the stone which has rolled into
the road, or the tree which has blown
down across it, writes Herbert Quick
in Farm and Fireside. The man who
drives around the obstacle day after
day Is one sort of man, the one who
stops his team and rolls or drags it
away is another. And a person pass
ing along road which he does not
expect to retrace, who removes the
obstruction for the sake of the stran-
ger who comes after him, responds
to very high test of civilization He
feels socially.
When the snow piles up in the road
the man who goes ahead and breaks
the path for others bears the burden
which he who has made progress al
ways must bear. There is snow in
every road-to cooperation, to better
schools, to better business methods
There must be road breakers for every
path.
The road breaker is the great civi.
lizer.

Chocolate Soldiers.

The soldiers weakness for sweet
meats, to which Mr.. Bernard Shaw
called attention when he wrote The
Chocolate Soldier" has been abund-
antly confirmed during the present
war. The quantity of sweets con-
sumed by our army in France has
been prodigious, while from Cairo
comes the news that the Australians
have absolutely eaten the place out
Of chocolate. On the troopships
which brought them, too, it was the
same. Thus Capt. Bean, the official
correspondent with the force, writes:
Our canteen had five times the de-
mand for sweets and soft drinks that
was expected and one-tifth the demand
for beer. '-Westminster Gazette

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
1t is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more eficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory, are
files containing hundreds of thousands
of letters from women seeking health
many of them openly state over
their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

STOPS CARS QUICKLY
NEW BRAKE BELIEVED TO BE
BEST IN USE.
Adopted by Leading Eastern Rail-
road, 1t Is Claimed to Be Capable
of Causing Almost Instan-
taneous Stop.

A brake that will stop a train of
twelve steel cars weighing 100000
pounds going at sixty miles an hour
within 1000 feet, practically in it's own
length, and do it without jolting the
passengers, has been adopted by the
Pennsylvania railroad according to a
bulletin issued recently
One has to know how air brakes
work before it is possible to under
stand how an almost instantaneous
stop can be made without jar. This
is we'll explained in one of the rail-
roads recent bulletins:
"The air brake apparatus controls
az flow of compressed air through the
train and to and from the brake cylin-
ders on each car. A system of levers
transmits the force exerted by the
compressed air to the brake shoes
that part of the brake which comes in
contact with the wheel, AS the con-
trolling force of the brake is air and
the control itself is given from the
engine, brakes on the first car apply
first, on the second car next, and so
on to the rear of the train as the flow
Of air travels from car to car About
eight seconds elapse from the time the
brake application is started by the en-
gineman until full braking force is
obtained on the last car of a twelve
car train. This serial action results
in surges and shocks throughout the
train during brake application, the
shocks increasing in severity as the
train length is increased.
"The new brake differs from the old
mainly in that the control of the COM
pressed air is electric, with the result
that the brakes are applied at the
same instant on all cars; the full
braking power of the train is eXerted
in two seconds after the engineman
turns his lever"
Thus 1t is not the sudden stopping
of a train causes the jar, but the
slowing down Of the cars one after
another, those in the rear Of the train
not feeling any Of the brakes until
eight seconds after those near the en-
CINE have slowed down.

which left me with dyspepsia, or neu-
ralgia of the stomach. My cup of

He figured that by putting stone on

to his country. But the automobile

hence it makes no filler. On the other
hand, it sucks out the filler and throws
it out in the air. 1t prizes the stones

MAKES TRIAL OF ELECTRICITY
Western Railroad Is to Have Test
That Will Determine important
Matter of Economy.

The praeticability of substituting
electricity for steam upon large rail-
roads is being demonstrated by the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail
road. This company is preparing now
to use electric power on its entire road
from Harlowton, Mont, to the Pacific
coast-a distance of $50 miles The
contracts have already been let for
electric locomotives, substation ap-
paratus, and line material for 113
miles of the main line from Three
Forks, Mont, to Deer Lodge, Mont,
and the first of four engine divisions
from Harlowton to Avery.
This will amount to nearly $50 miles
of track, including yards and siding.
1t is the first attempt to install and
operate electric locomotives on tracks
extending over several engine divi-
sions. A few other installations have
been made in different parts of the
country for local reasons.
This change is being made for pure
ly economic reasons in the belief that
electricity will not only be less ex-
pensive than steam, but will also elm
mate smoke and make the service
more popular.
The electric locomotives to be used
will weigh 240 tons each and will have
a capacity for work greater than that
of any steam or electric locomotive yet
constructed in any part of the world.
Each passenger locomotive will be
capable of hauling an S00-ton train
at speed of sixty miles an hour.
