lihood. This tall athlete has had won
derful success against the Detroit bats
men. This Is the fourth season In the
American league for Weilman. and he

four games. Thus the percentage of
wins credited to Weilman for his en-

stand III.
The lengthy Hamilton t0J boy has
held the combination Of Cobb, Craw.
ford and veach rs an open book. For
instance, these three in fifty-five tries

sANDBERo TO LOEB
To Jacob M. Loeb:
You are one of the Jews sore at
Georgia for the way they hanged Leo
Frank and called him a damned Jew
there in Atlanta.
And you're talking lot about lib
erty and the rights of school chill
dren.
You came from Kovno in Russia
and you ought to know some thing
about liberty;
And how school boards, police
boards, military boards and czars
have gone on year after year,
To choke the Jews from having
societies, organizations, labor unions,
Showing bayonets into the faces of
the Jews and driving them to the
ghettoes.
You know what mean. You know
these European cities where they
call the Jews despised race;
And anybody who spits in Jews
face is not touched by the police.
Dye get me? I'm reminding you
what you already know.
You're the man who is leading the
school board fight on the Teachers
Federation.
And you forget, your memory slips,
your heart doesn't picture
How you and your fathers were
spit upon in the face,
And now the soldiers and police
misused your women
Just because they were Jews, and
in Kovno
Anybody could get away with
what they did to Jew woman or a
Jew girl;
And now you, Jew, stand up here
in Chicago and act proud
Because you have in effect spit in
the faces of Chicago women, accus-
ed them, belittled them.
First you tried to cut their wages,

ORCHIDS CURIOUS PLANTS
By Z. VAN BENTHUYsEN.


Orchids are curious plants. even the
simplest orchids of the endogenous
type. which belong to the same group
as lilies, palms and grasses but differ
ing In their snowy, highly-colored flow
srs OF diverse shapes. Possibly there
is no flower admired more and under
stood less.
The known species of orchids num-
Der 5000, which are included in 400
genera. The diligent search that has
been made for these plants in every
country in the world for cultivation
purposes and on account of their great
beauty is undoubtedly responsible for
the great number of known varieties.
Some of the orchids are terrestrial
that is, they grow with their roots
In the ground-but the greater number
are epiphytes-"air plants growing
on trees and shrubs, but receiving no
nourishment from them.
1t is strange fact that orchids
while supposed to grow in tropical
climates only are grown-beautiful
specimens of them-in the neighbor-
hood of snow Rational methods OF

cultivation nave developed leading to
the separation of orchids in three
kinds of greenhouses, according to
temperatures maintained in them--hot
houses. temperate houses and cold
houses.
There are some artificially produced
bybrids, wonderful creations in shape,
which differ greatly from both parents.
On account of the difficulty of their
production these beautiful plants COM
mand fabulous prices. Thousands of
dollars have been paid for beautiful
specimens. Once created, however,
these hybrids may be propagated in
definitely by dividing the root-stock
as it grows; this permanently enriches
the collection of Conservatives.
A new orchid, the Marie-Odile, the
nun orchid, is a dainty white blossom
and is extremely rare. 1t is here pic
tured.

GOOD
ROADS
MILEAGE OF CONCRETE ROADS
Growth In Popularity Indicated by
Rapid Increase In Recent Years
In United States.

The mileage of concrete pavements
in the United States has increased
rapidly, and it is likely to continue
to increase, according to q new bulle-
tin OF the United States department
of agriculture. This bulletin gives
the estimated amount OF concrete
pavement in the United States in 1914
as 100000 square yards; in 1909 1t
was only $4,000 square yards.
The principal advantage of concrete'
pavements which have led to this I'M
crease in popularity are said to be-
1. Durability under ordinary traffic
conditions.
2. A smooth. even surface offering
little resistance.
8. Absence OF dust and ease with
which it may be cleaned
4. Comparatively small cost of
maintenance until renewals are neces-
sary.
5. Availability as base for another
typeeof surface IL desirable.
6. Attractive appearance.
In commenting upon these advan-
tages the bulletin states that the dur
ability Of concrete roads has not yet
been proved by actual practice, be-
cause there are no very old pave
ments as yet In existence, but from
the condition Of those which have I'M
dergone several years service it
seems probable that they will be
found to wear well.
The disadvantages of concrete as
q road surface are:
/. It's noise under horse traffic.
2. The wearing OF the necessary
joints in the pavement, and the tend
ency to crack, with its consequent
rapid deterioration.
8. The difficulty Of repairs when
these become necessary.
In the past efforts have frequently
been made to overcome these objec-
tions to certain degree by covering
the concrete pavement with bitumi-
nous wearing surface. At the present
time, the specialists in the department
hold that this cannot be economically

WHY :ANURIC
is AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
Sufferers from Backachs, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, SICK
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night This is the time you
should consult some physician Of wide
experience such as DR.. Pierce, Of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package Of his new discovery
"Anuric." Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.

justified, although it is possible that
future investigation may change the
situation in this respect. In the pres
ent state of road science, however, it
seems that where traffic conditions
are such that bituminous surface
on concrete road is practicable a
bituminous-surface macadam road
would be equally practicable and GER
tain1y cheaper. Where traffic is too
heavy for macadam road the btu
minous surface is likely to give way
and the uneven manner in which it
fails tends to produce excessive wear
on portions of the concrete.
For a successful concrete road, hard
ness, toughness and uniformity are
the most essential qualities. These
can be secured to great extent by
care in the selection of the constitu-
emit materials and the proportions in
which they are mixed. Sample speci-
fications are included in the bulletin,
No. 249, Portland Cement Concrete
Pavements for Country Roads"
These specifications are believed to
typify the best engineering practice
as it has been developed up to this
time. They cover such points as ma
terials, grading, subgrade and con-
struction.
