Very truly yours,
w. J. BRYAN.

By this plan, all weeds which are
a source of serious cost to the far
mer would be prevented. There
would be no seeds from weeds to
blow from highway onto the farms
10 cause many years of trouble and
expense to the farmers. The sur
LIus of ground, most of excellent
quality, thus turned into channels
Of usefulness. Every inch of land
row a source of public nuisance on
ne public highway would be of ser
vice and direct source of income to
the farmers, with a good sound road
bed between.
A safe plan to preserve life in this
age, of hurry, is to have when it is
necessary for railways or interur-
bans to cross the public highway that
they should pass over or under where
yer it can be done. When neces-
sary for crossings at grade, the rail
ways should be obliged to maintain
i watchman to operate gates and up
on the time due for approach OF
trains the gates should be closed till
he train passes. A good rule for
preserving life.
Where possible danger there 8houl
he a good stone monument promi-
nently placed Ground sharp
curves, at / east two feet high with
suitable inscription upon the oppo-
site side, such as '''Go Slow" Dan
ger" These to be painted in large
letters with phosphorice paint, that
enables them to be seen at night as
well ana drivers warned Of dan
ger.
The highway should be divided in
to sections similar to the plan OF
steam railw avs, and a competent
man appointed to take charge of
their sections, doing ordinary re
pairs of the surface road-bed, also to
see that all drainage is properly op-
Grating and clear.
A suggestion for comfort is to
plant along the exposed sunny places
or strips. trees of fruit or native To-
cal trees planted on either side close
to the roadway gutter line, and about
fifty feet apart.
This in brief is the plan, and l be-
lieve the money thus spent much bet
ter than that largely followed now
OF doing a harrow strip in the, center
of the very wide il-kept highway;
this strip cheapIy constructed to
be done again Soon at added waste
OF time and money.

My Dear Mr.. Bryan: accept your

have been very delightful to me. Our
judgments have accorded in practi-
cany all matters OF official duty and
OF the public policy until noWg your
support OF the work and purposes OF
the administration has been gener-

Yotion TO the duties of your great of

vantage OF every opportunity for
service it offered has been an exam
pie to the rest Oh US; you have earn

separated in the object we seek, but
only IN the method b. which we

CAN PHOTOGRAPH ~ CoLoRS
Scientists Have Reached Goal Which
Has Been Sought for a Great
Number Of Years.

Color photography, the goal OF in
Ventors and scientists for years. has
at last been realized. So perfect has
been made the process that the max.
ing Of color prints is now open even
to amateurs. OF course, a special
camera and special kinds Of plates are
necessary.
Three plates are inserted in the
camera, and the front plate is dropped
to the bottom of the box. The image
to be photographed is reflected to this
bottom plate by a mirror. The other
two plates receive their impressions
directly from the lens. Each Of the
plates is coated with chemicals which
enable 1t to record certain colors, one
recording the red. another the yellow
and the third the blue tones of the
object.
A separate positive is made from
each plate, the positive from the blue
plate being made on paper and the red
and yellow positives on thin films. The
two film positives are superimposed
on the blue positive, with the result
that the original three colors blend
into a myriad of hues when a print Is
made from the combined positives.

COTTON THAT RESISTS FIRE
Matter Should Interest Every Mother,
Considering Danger to Lit
tie Ones.

A cheap method of making cotton
permanently as resistant to fire as is
wool is being sought by inventors
and makers of cotton garments. Cot
ton clothing can be made fireproof by
being dipped in a solution of am
monium phosphate, and dried. The
treatment has to be repeated after
every washing, but it is estimated
that this would add only Is cents a
week to the laundry expenses of the
average family.
But apart from the fact that there
are thousands of families which can
not afford to spend even an additional
Is cents a week, the bother is too
great and the risk from fire too re-
mote to make the system practicable.
Efforts are being made in some quar-
ters to induce mothers to apply the
treatment to the clothing of young
children, but even the most ardent
safety advocates see the i'm
possibility of making the system uni
versal in the interests of fire and burn
prevention.
