The threatened shake-ur OF the

said this morning that one OF the

before night. he was as Yet unde-

anywhere" said Schorr last night.
4 could not bear that town OF Terre
Haute. IL is the worst baseball town
in the world. and I just would not stay
there. All you see is gambling and
card playing and the fans set in the
grand stand and bet against their own
bail club. Mgr. lbert was all right,
but l hated the town from the mo-
ment I got off the train there"
This is the explanation of Schorr'5
suspension from the Terre Haute club
obviously for being out Of condition.
Since the lanky twirler does not chew,
drink or participate in any other form
of dissipation the lack OF condition
appears 10 have been more a condition
of mind. Schorr said that he was
wild in the two games he worked but
his heart was not I'm the job.
There IS q shake-up of the Hoosier
twirling staff coming soon and there
may be a chance for Schorr TO land
here although the chance is small.
The poor showing OF Williams again
yesterday against Battle Creek is n
decided disappointment TO Smith who
was hoping that the southpaw would
round into form.
Nallandingham is expected TO take
the mound against the Jackson Vets
this afternoon in the opening game Of
the series. Herbert Hill, who de
feated the Crickets in the first tilt Of

Paper is at present used for all pos
sible purposes ia the industries and
In all possible forms. 1t has even

parable with stone, so that 1t can be
used as building material. The latest
Use for paper, however. is perhaps the
most peculiar.
According to a European journal. a
factory is said to exist in England
which Is manufacturing circular saws
from paper. These paper saws are
used for the manufacturing. of fine fur
niture. veneer and other thin plates Of
wood, which must be treated especially
carefully. Some time ago circular
saws made from drawing paper were
shown in an English exposition. The
saws were driven by an electric mo-
tor and produced fine boards, which
could not have been made better even
by the finest steel saw.
The eneer made in this way are so
smooth that the cabinetmakers can use
them without further planning.

BOND BUILT ROADS.
Financing Maintenance Of Highways as
Important a. Financing Construction.

Financing Maintenance Of Highways as
Important a Financing Construction.
We learned long ago about the ben
ef1ts Of good roads to farming commu-
mites. The states and the federal of.
fee of public roads have also taught
us to discriminate between clay roads,
gravel roads, rock roads, and all the
other kinds Of roads. and the federal
Office has made a thorough study Of the
problems of road finance.
A typical instance Of Encouragement
that was brought to the attention Of
the office occurred in a southern state
where $4,000 was recently distributed
equally yer nearly ninety miles Of
highway. After deducting necessary
overhead expenses this sum was equiv.
alent to about $500 a mile.
Obviously no permanent results
could be obtained from such a distribu-
ton. In another county, where heavy
rains and severe winters could not fail
to make the roads nearly impossible
with the superficial construction adopt.
ed, bonds were issued to the amount Of
100000. The money was devoted to
light grading on an excessive mileage.
without any attempt at surfacing.
The use of public credit to develop
public wealth Is the first argument for
highway bonds. A mile Of road gus
tanning 5000 tons Of travel a year
would pay interest and retirement On
$1,000 in 4 per cent bonds If the cost
Of hauling were reduced about "a
cents a ton mile.
Financing the maintenance Of a road
is just Al important as financing its
construction. Failures Of good roads
movements are often the direct results
of failures properly to provide for sys-
tematic maintenance. 1t is undoubted-
" necessary in general to establish a
direct tax for annual repair and main
tenance of bond built highways. When
highway bonds are issued it should be
understood that within a few years
there will be. besides the tax for in
terest and retirement, an additional
tax for repairs and maintenance II the
regular road tax within the county is
not already sufficient. The experts
point out that this repair and main
tenance charge Is inevitable. and 1t Is
sound business to face the repair and
maintenance charges in the beginning.
