MEDICAL TRIUMPHS.

The war doesn't check all wholesome progress by any
means In the realms of surgery and medicine IT Is pro-

more material to work and apply their theories
more freely than under ordinary conditions.
In the notable advance made since the war began Amer
lean physicians have played conspicuous part nurse
lust returned from service with the American ambulance
corps France tells how the medical profession in France
has been asonshed at the daring eats performed by our
surgeons They have been particularly successful in
grating bones to prevent disfgurements Many of the
soldiers shot in the face and hideousy mtated In
IA great many their jaws are shot away The sur
gcons have actually been making 'new faces for these
mornaes, removing bones from slain men or from am
puatcd limbs and using them to build up shattered jaws
and other features
1t will be recalled that Dr. Alexis Carren, American
winner of the Nobel prize for medicine pioneer in the
anspantng of bone and muscular tissue, has been work
ing in Paris since the war began, and his marvellous
achievements have doubtless been the inspiration OF the
whole American corps.

slightest deviation from the truth, the
lawyer solemnly said:
Now, sir, want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shutting or
evasion. Iwant you to look me square

ROADS AND ROAD MATERIALS
Highway Should BE No More Expen-
sive Than Traffic Warrants, and
Materials Suited to Traffic.

(By " M. CONE, Colorado Agricultural
College)
Roads and road materials are the
subject of much discussion all over
the country, Most of our roads are
still being patched up, or, which is
still worse, being turned upside down
periodically with pillow and scraper,
and soft road is the certain result.
However, some good roads are being
built each year. Roads are bust
ness. If they are good roads they
are a good business, il they are bad
roads they are bad business. A road
should be no more expensive than the
traffic warrants, and the materials of
which the road is constructed must be
suited to the traffic.
Cobble stones are good roads for
heavy drayage and asphaltum pave
ments are excellent for pleasure We
hicles, but they are certainly not in
Interchangeable in usage. 1t would be
as foolish in many cases to have an
asphaltum pavement on country
road, as dirt street in the busy traf-
fic district of a city.
Too often people lose sight of the

ST. GenAvieue

st. Genevieve, the patron saint OF
Paris, was consecrated at the age OF
seven to the service of religion by st.
Germanus, bishop of Auxerre, who
CHANGED to pass through the village of
Nanterre, where she lived, about four
miles from Paris. She acquired a
great reputation for sanctity. The
church of ST. Genevieve, completed in
1894, was named in her honor. Dur
ing the revolutionary period 1t was
withdrawn from the service of relig-
ion and called the Pantheon, but was
afterward restored in name and to
ecclesiastical uses.

repairs needed in order to keep roads
good, and that is not done without ex-
pense. In fact, the maintenance and
depreciation charges are usually great
er for good roads than for ordinary
roads, but goods roads are worth the
extra expense, and they are, therefore,
good business.
Many people speak of the surface
of good road as though it were an
arch which must support the weight
Of traffic, but the chief concern in
properly constructed good roads is the
wear on the road surface material,
caused by the grinding action Of
wheels and the suction action of rapid
ly moving automobile tires, which re-
move the fine dust and binding ma
terials, exposing the coarser and more
compact material.
Macadam, one Of the most famous
road builders, laid down three rules

words, "A good road has tight roof
and dry cellar" Proper drainage to
prevent water from getting into the
road from beneath and good surface
to cause the rainfall to run off before
entering the foundation, will insure a
good road, because a well-packed earth
foundation will sustain the weight of
ordinary country traffic without break
ing through. II the surface is not pre-
served, the foundation of the road will
be damaged, and this applies to dirt
as well as rock roads. for in many
cases we find that earth roads are the
most advisable kind of good roads and
all that the traffic wants.
It is necessary to keep the roof
tight. Do not allow holes to remain
in the road surface, for If they are not
repaired the water will collect in them
and run through into the foundation,
causing chuck holes"
