GOOD
ROADS
ROADS MUST BE MAINTAINED
No Phase of Public Thorouehfare
Problem of More Importance
Keep Surface Well Drained.

There is no phase of the road prob.
lem more important than that of main.
tenance. lele general impression that
there are certain types of roads that
are permanent is erroneous. No per-
manent road has ever been construct
ed or ever will be. The only things
about a road that may be considered
permanent are the grading, culverts
and bridges Roads constructed by the
most skillful highway engineers will
soon be destroyed by the traffic, frost,
rain and wi,d, unless they are proper
ly maintained But the life of these
roads may be prolonged by systematic
maintenance. A poor road will not
only be improved by proper mainte-
nance, but may become better in time
than a good road without it.
The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
surface well drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and a
smooth crown maintained. Except for
very stony soil, the road machine or
scraper may be used very effectively
for this work. The machine should
be used once or twice year, and the
work should be done when the soil is
damp, SO that it will pack and bake
side bitches should be maintained,
with sufficient fall and capacity to
dispose of surface water. These
bitches can in most cases be con-
structed and repaired with road ma
chine
All vegetable matter such as sods
and weeds should be kept out OF. the
road, as they make a spongy surface
which retains moisture Clods are also
Objectionable, for they soon turn to
dust or mud, and for that reason
roads should never be worked when
dry or hard. powders or loose stones
are equally Objectionable if smooth
surface is to be secured
A split-log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and cross
sections have once been secured. This
drag can also be used to advantage on
a gravel road as well as on an earth
road. The principle involved in drag
ging is that clays and most heavy soils
will puddle when wet and set very
hard when dry The little attention
that the earth road needs must be
given promptly and at the proper time
if the best results are to be obtained.
In dragging roads only small
amount of earth is moved, just enough
to fill the ruts and depressions with a
thin layer of plastic clay. or earth
which packs very hard so that the
next rain, instead of finding ruts, de-
pressions and clods in which to col
lect, runs off, leaving the surface but
little affected
The drag should be light and should
be drawn over the road at an angle of
about As degrees. The driver should
ride on the drag and should not drive

CHIEF JUSTICE WHITES JOKE

Although ponderous and learned
and dignified, Chief Justice White of
the Supreme court cracks an occa-
sional joke.
White buys cigars at certain
drug store in Washington, and the
man behind the cigar counter has
come to know him we'll enough to talk
to him rather freely.
One day as he handed the chief
justice his change the cigar salesman
inquired breezily, by way of small
talk:
We'll, Mr. Chief Justice, how's
the Supreme court going to decide
those antitrust cases next week."
1T isn't a matter that we're sup
posed to talk much about replied
White, pleasantly. "Still don't mind
telling you, provided you'll give me
your assurance that it will go no fur

ooh, shant tell SOUL" declared
the cigar man, earnestly. Not a

PLEASANT TOM TAGGART

The power Of personality never
was better illustrated than in the ca
reer of Thomas Taggart, the Indi-
ana-and national-political leader.
Irish by birth, Taggart must have
caressed the barney stone from the
earliest days of his infancy to the day
of his departure for American shores.
This is not to say that he is an orator.
He is nothing of the sort On the con-
trary, he is no speechmaker at all.
But when it comes to saying quickly,
in private conversation, or in passing
greeting. the right thing in the right
way at the right moment, Taggart is
without a superior in the whole coun-
try. Not even his bitterest enemy will
find the slightest fault with Taggart's
ever-brilliant, ever-pleasant smile.
That was the gift with which he
began life. That was his talent and
his capital A CHEEKY smile, firm,
friendly hand-clasp, a ready sympa-
thy-these went with it. And the COM
bination elevated Thomas Taggart

PORTUGAuS NEW PRESIDENT

Bernardino Machado, the recently
elected president of Portugal, has
been prominent for years in public
life, having served his country as pre-
mier, provisional msaister Of foreign
affairs, minister of the interior and
minister to Brazil. He has been con-
sidered the foremost man in the re-
publican party, and before the over
throw of the monarchy was regarded
as the logical choice of that party for
the presidency. In January, 1908, he
was accused of conspiracy against the
crown, but the charges never we're
proved.
Senior Machado, who is sixty-five
years old, formerly was professor OF
philosophy in Coimbra university, but
was ousted from his chair because he
joined the anticlerical movement. He
is an excellent speaker, and during
his public career has been regarded
as strongly pro-British.

The slope or crown of an earth road
should be about one inch to the foot.
1t the crown becomes too high it may
be reduced by dragging toward the
ditch instead of from it. If the drag
cuts too much, shorten the hitch and
change your position on the drag. If
it is necessary to protect the face of
the drag with a strip of iron, it should
be placed flush with the edge of the
drag and not projecting. A cutting
edge should be avoided, as the main
object in dragging is to smear the
damp soil into position

faster than a walk. One round trip,
each trip staddling wheel track, is
usually sufficient to fill the ruts and
smooth the surface If necessary the
road should be dragged after every
bad spell of weather, when the soil
is in proper condition to puddle well
and still not adhere to the drag. If
the road is very bad it may be dragged
when very wet and again when it be-
gins to dry out

MINIMUM WAGE BILL COMES UP
TOMORROW ~


'The bill providing for the means
to establish minimum wage rates for
women has been considered in joint
session of the committee on indus
trial affairs of the house and the
committee on labor mines and min
ing of the senate. The. Joint commit
tees recommend to the separate
committees favorable action on the
bill. The house committee will meet
on Tuesday for the purpose of reach
ing some final decision on the meas
ure, and the senate committee has
appointed a subcommittee of three,
consisting of Senators Denvir, Comp
ton and Olson, to submit a report to
the regular committee meeting on
Tuesday.
I'm a recent letter to the members
of the legislature, John H. Walker
and D. Mccarthy, respectively chair
man and secretary of the joint labor
legislative board, point out the Sc
rious consequences of the condition
that requires women to work for less
than living wage, in the following
language: 1t means not only the
breaking down physically of the fu-
ture mothers of our race, and an in
fiuence to the deterioration of their
children, it means starvation and
undernourishment on the part of
those of them who are required to
earn their own living, and that the
weaker will be forced to depend on
charity ia order to get whatever adj
ditional is necessary to keep them,
which must necessarily develop a
spirit of subserviency and depend
ency and the undermining of their
self respect, continually resulting in
the degeneration of the moral fiber
of not only themselves but the future
generation. And, in many instances,
it means forcing these women and
girls into life of shame

BUBBLY
CREEK GASES

Bubbly creek, so-called because the
bubbles of foul gases which con-
stantly rise to the surface, is likely
to be filed. The existence of the
stream which perfumes the South
west Side and which is the very last
place where one would care to sui
eide is to be protested in a mass
meeting to be held at the University
Settlement House, 1880 Gross av.,
next Friday night.
Bubbly creek has hidden and given
forth many bodies. Some of newly
born babies whose mothers living in
the poor district bordering the 'ope.
sewer" were too poor to bury them
and some of men who were murder
ed by gangs of toughs who frequent
ed its borders.
Miss Mary Mcdowell is the spon-,
sor of the movement to construct a
legitimate closed sewer to carry ref
use of the five big sewers which now
empty into the creek.
100000 are menaced by this open
sewer" said Miss Mcdowell. 1T

this reason only we should do away
