BOXERS ARE "CREAM PUFFS"
Retired San Francisco Lightweight
Says Present-Day Scrappers Never
Do Any Damage.

Eddie Hanlon, the retired San Fran

day boxers are lot of cream puff
scrappers, who can box every night,
do no damage and have none done to
them. Hanlon does not regret having
been boxer, for it benefited him,
physically and financially.

ROUGH ROADS HURT SCHOOLS
Communities Having Advantage of I'M
proved Highways Can Afford to
Build Eetter Buildings.

That good roads materially affect
the county school system has been re-
peatedly demonstrated. In states
where the roads are kept up well the
attendance at school is 80 per cent as
against Ga per cent in states where the
roads are neglected and are in bad
condition. Improved roads make it
possible to consolidate or centralize
the schools and to establish graded
schools in the rural districts. Such
schools centrally located will accom-
modate all of the children within a ra-
dius of from four to five miles. In
many communities having the advan-
tage of good roads, commodious build
ings have been provided, more COM
petent teachers have been employed
and modern facilities for teaching
nave been supplied at minimum cost.
There are about two thousand consoli-
lated rural schools in the United
States, and it is significant to note
that the states that have made the
greatest progress in the building and
maintenance of good roads have the
argest schools No community can
afford not to have good roads and

Going after high one is one of the

TREES ALONG THE ROADSlDES
Many Organizations Have Promised
Their Aid to Provide Free Fruit
for the Weary Traveller.

Fresh fruit plucked from roadside
trees is a pleasure travellers will be
able to enjoy several years hence,
when they stop for lunch in some
shady nook.
In many communities civic associa-
lions, farmers organizations and hor-
icultural societies have promised
their aid to provide free roadside fruit
.or the traveller.
This very pleasant idea was origl-
mated by a southern Missouri nursery,
which has placed $4,000 apple, peach,
pear, plum and cherry trees along the
side of the Missouri section of the
National Old Trails highway. The
fruit will be free to transcontinental
motorists.

ROAD
BUILDING d n
MACHINE FOR ROAD BUILDING
Useful for Applying Hot Bituminous
Binder Under Pressure, Filling
Spaces Between Stones.

A recent addition to road building
equipment is a gasoline driven ma
chine used for applying the hot bitum-
nous binder under pressure so that it
will penetrate and fill the spaces be-
tween the stones, says Popular Me
chanics. After the first course Of
stone is laid this machine is run over
the roads, discharging the bituminous
binder through series of vertical
pipes at the forward end. AS soon as
the binder has hardened, a second
course of stone is laid and rolled, the
rolling forcing the two courses into
one compact layer The binder is then
applied a second time, and the proc

ess is repeated until the road is com
pleted. This process makes it possi-
BILE to build compact road with no
openings into which water can pene-
trate. The bituminous binder is car
ried in the large tank, which has a
capacity of $50 gallons. 1t is heated
by steam coils in the tank, the steam
neing supplied by flash boiler which
is fired by fuel oil. Steam supplied by
this boiler is also used for running an
air compressor by which the binder is
forced into the spaces between the
stones.
