ROAD SUPERVISOR
TO GET MACHINE
Auto Association Bugs Re
Gently Hired Road Ex-
pert a Machine.

A. u meeting of the Tulsa Auto
association held few days ago in the
Commercial club rooms, the roadmak-
ing plans which were proposed and
described IN detail by Cy Avery,
chairman OF the board of county
commissioners, to the assembly OF
auto owners, were most heartily ap-
proved by all. That the association
buy the new road overseer a 2-pas-
senger car to facilitate his work was
also a suggestion made by Mr.. Avery,
and this movement was Immediately
adopted by the association, and a
committee appointed to carry 1t
through.
That remarkable progress has been
made in the building Of good roads
throughout the United States during
the past few years is proven by data
recently obtained by the American
Highway association and soon to be
published in the official Good Roads
Year Book for 1915. 1t has been
found that more than $4,000 miles
of surfaced roads have been construct
ed during 1913 and 1914, and that
the ten-year period from 1904 to 1914
more than $4,000 miles have been
completed. That this progress has

armored cage, 1000 feet below the
gas bag, must be extremely accurate
to hit even the largest building as
the 60-mile speed of the Zeppelin is
enough to destroy aim. But in that
speed depends the safety, also, Of the
raiders.
The bombs are released by an cleo
tric attachment worked by a foot
pedal The bombs are cylindrical,
not unlike a piece of stove-pipe. The
operator has his hands free to adjust
his ge-finding instruments, while
with his foot he drops the explosives.
Every war Zeppelin, like battle
ship. Is equipped with wireless. The
operator has set apart for him
little portion of the bridge, and the
wires for catching the waves are
strung out the entire length OF tho
balloon. While the fleet is passing
over the channel the commanders
could exchange messages with Count
Zeppelin on his flagship and he in
turn could communicate with the
aerial base in Belgium.
All Europe even Germany does not
believe the zeppelins have made good.
The raid on England will be the grand
test.

been really amazing may be under
stood from the fact that In 1904 there
were only $4,000 miles of surfaced
roads Of all types In the United States.
That the movement IL attaining mo-
mentum ag II goes is proven by the
fact that while the average mileage
constructed per annum during the
past ten years is $500 miles, the
total completed for 1914 exceeded 49,
600 miles The report will show that
something like 10000 miles Of high
way have been completed with the
aid Of state funds, Of which over
$500, 100000 have been expended. The
state aid movement began In 1892
and has therefore continued for
twenty-five years. Only recently has
It gotten we'll under way, as the re-
suits accomplished for 1918 and 1914
comprise total OF 10000 miles OF
state aid highways completed, or In
two years time one third Of the en-
tire mileage constructed with the aid
Of state funds has been completed.
Only six states now, out of total
Of forty eight, are without state high
way departmental, and thirty states
have granted actual money aid to the
building of roads. The Year Book,

cation for all good roads information.

ENGI4AND'S GREAT AUTO
TO FIGHT ZEPPEIINS.

England has been feverishly
preparing for the battle with the
Zeppelins ever since the war
started. She now has an espec-
tally designed armored automo-
bile which, 1t Is believed. will
make 1t interesting for raiding
dirlgibles.
These cars carry guns especc-
tally built to throw shrapnel
grenades for great distances. The
guns are mounted so that they
may be swung and discharged in
a vertical position and, no mat
ter what the position of the air
craft, 1t can never be out OF
range.
There is, besides, an ingenious
mechanism for calculating the
range at any angle, which makes
the fire remarkably accurate.
These aero guns are built with
pneumatic attachment, which
takes up the recoil so that the
automobile which serves as a
base for the gun carriage will not
be endangered.
The aero guns do not fire ordi-
nary shells, but are provided with
special forms of shrapnel and
grenades. The balloon shrapnel,
as it is called, scatters in every
direction on exploding, so that II
the discharge comes anywhere
near the balloon some part Of the
shell Is certain TO strike. There
are other grenades which explode
and scatter inflammable material
over wide radius, with the idea
of igniting the gas in the balloon
and causing an explosion.
A astautomobile makes an ideal
mount for such a gun in an aerial
attack. The guns may thus be
rushed about the country at q
speed of a mile minute IL neces-
sary. equaling the speed of the
Zeppelin itself. The gunners
can thus follow the invading
airship, firing their deadly mis-
sles as they run. A battle car
ried on between such antagonists
will doubtless be one Of the most
spectacular in the history of war
fare.
Many of the ships of the Brit
ish navy are equipped with sim
liar guns which may be aimed
at any angle. and will discharge
deadly shrapnel or inflammable
bombs.

WHY POPES NEVER PREACH
Tradition of the Church Forbids Pres
ence in Pulpit

The preparation and delivery of
sermons which impose such a heavy
burden Of toll upon other ministers
of God have no terrors for the pope,
for the good and sufficient reason that
the traditions Of the church forbid
his preaching.
OF all the many strange restrictions
which hedge about pope, one of the
strangest is that he should not be al
lowed to preach. Only once In 800
years has a pope delivered a sermon,
and that was under most exceptional
circumstances in 1846.
On the Octave Of the Epiphany a
celebrated preacher, Padre Ventura,
was to have occupied the pulpit in
st. Peters, but was suddenly taken Ill.
To prevent disappointment 10 the
vast crowd which had assembled Plus
TX broke through the custom of ages
and, ascending the pulpit. delivered
simple, homely sermon that perhaps
Impressed its hearers more than the
finest eloquence might have done, be-
cause of Its uniqueness.
