Where Concrete Has the Advantage

The big argument IN favor of using concrete for e PaO County road
ways IS found IN the very low maintenance cost In various states where
concrete has been widely used it has been found that an expenditure Of
$40 to $50 per mile per year viii keep concrete roads n good order.
while other forms of roads require from $500 to $1,000 per mile per
year. These figures speak for themselves.

MRS. PRESTON GIBSON.

One of the largest iewelry robberies
in many years was that of Mrs. james
Mcmillan, widow of late United States
senator from Michigan, at her summer
home, Eagle Head, at Manchesterby-
the-Sea, in Massachusetts, when val
uables worth $4,000 were taken from
the house. And it has become one of
the most mysterious cases on which
detectives have had to work. One
agency was called off after considera-
bic investigation had been made.
Mrs. Preston Gibson, granddaughter
of Mrs. Mcmillan, was with her at the
time. Mrs. Mcmillan kept her iewclry
in a safe near her room. Mrs. McMil-
Ian saved some $4,000 worth of her
jewels because she wore & 81 900 pain
of earrings and a $4,000 necklace to
bed. Detectives said they could learn
nothing about the case, but a state
ment was made by a company which
insured the yaluables that 81, coo had
been paid to Mrs. Mcmillan.

get 70 cents. All the quarter and half
dollar admissions arc divided.
''Say we had a crowd of 10000 to-

bleacbers. They would pay into the
gate $3.50, or $G25 for each club. The
50-cent seats might contain about 1000,
which would mean 81 900, or $500 for
each club. The other 5000 would be
in the better seats, and we will fix them
all at 70 cents, which would give the
visiting club $3.50, or one-third of the
total paid in, 50, $50 The home club
would get 81 300 and might add 800
more by selling box seats at 81. That

$1,S75 for the visitors. Now, suppose
this same crowd save the game on 10

would get then:
"Total receipts: Bleachers, $500; 25-
