ped in Colchester struck the yard behind
the cottage OF Sergeant Rabjohn of the Hus-
sars. His wife and he were at supper in the
front room, into which shrapnel bullets
penetrated, pictures being pierced aud holes
made in the walls, but they were unhurt.
Everything in the kitchen and 10 the up
stairs rooms was smashed and the ceiling of
the bedroom shattered, but a baby asleep
there was not awakened. The windows in
four adjoining houses were smashed aud
people in the neighbourhood were aroused
and rushed into the street. The bomb made
o hole five feet in diametre in the Sergeant's
yard. The police judged from the sound Of
the engine that the ~aeroplane was going to-
wards Harwich.
At the same time incendiRry bombs were
dropped at Braintree, but all fell in the
fields, except one in the neighbourhood of
the police station and failed to explode. x
bomb also fell in a field at Coggeshal, max
ing a hole 8 feet by 2 and %stampeding
a number of horses which were grazing,
The Braintree bombs concealed yard long
iron spikes on the ends and are believed to
be filled with gasoline.

at intimidation. Tue police inspector heard
the machine coming from west, but could
not see it owing to the moon being temper

ARIZONA GOOD ROAD CONFERENCE CALLED
 IN TUCSON MAY 15
President Heard Reports SpIen-
 did Results from Recent Cam paign for Membership and Much Expected from Meeting.

The official call for the good roads conference Go be held at Tucson on May l5, has been issued by President Heard and Secretary Welch of the Arizona Good Roads Association. Iu reads in part:
 "Our recent campaign for member ship throughout the state has resulted in the organization of nineteen local good roads associations cooperating with the state association. and the ad4 dtion of 447 individual members. ' Many vital questions regarding %yays and means for securing a practical economical and efficient good roads system for this state present themi selves. At a recent meeting of our executive committee it was decided | Co call a general good roads confer ence at Tucson, May 15, 1915. for the purpose of a frank consideration and discussion of these important ques- | tions in order that a definite good roads policy might be adopted, con cured in by all sections of the sNte and toward the accomplishment of which the officers of the state asso- citation aided by the teamplay of all members, might direct their attention.
 Among the important questions which we believe should be consider ed at this conference. are the follow ing
 "i. The method Of securing the greatest cooperation between all coun ties. To this end all county engineers will be invited Co be present.
 % The constitution of the state will not permit the issuing of bonds for any purpose. So many counties having already issued bonds or are considering bond issues for road pur poses, your executive committee be lieyes the time not ripe for the con sidering of a state good road bond is sue. The committee believes, how ever. that the question of amendment to the constitution to permit the issu ing of bonds when same would be o advantage should be considered by the conference.
 "3 Road work is of two classes permanent and temporary. In many states permanent work, rock cuts concrete bridges, and similar con struction are paid for by bond issues ! maintenance and other temporary work being paid for by direct taxa tion. This policy will be under dis , cussion at the conference"
 The state engineer will be present at the conference and each board o supervisors and chapter of the gooC roads association will have delegates present.
 Each city and each commercial bo dy has been invited too, and represen tatives and everyone interested in tn, subject will be welcomed.
