marck gave . good explanation when
his daughter asked him what the n

to define literally. 1t means a cor

bone. Then there was a little fight,

blows with my cane. After that the
bone lay in the middle of the court,
while both dogs stood off at some

Each dog, in fact, was as anxious to

Of my cane. and, therefore, neither

So acute has become the controversy
over the quality of the route between
Washington and Fredericksburg that

met T. Colbert, of the Fredericks-
burg Automobile Company. and Of B.

Of the road
The quality of the road can be
judged from the fact that the trip
was made in four hours and ten min
utes. from which should be deducted
one hour and twenty minutes for sign
posting and other stops. This Is an
average Of more than twenty-five miles
an hour. All but twelve miles of this
entire stretch is modern highway and
of that twelve, two miles are now be-
ing completed in Stafford county. by
convict labor.
All told. there are only four miles of
poor road and this Is poor largely from
the comparative standpoint. In this
four miles there is one spot OF 100
yards in length that is in a bottom
into which the water runs from both
directions If there has been a heavy
rain any time within twenty-four hours
1t will give trouble. particularly II the
person driving does not use caution.
II there has been two days Of rain II
would be better not to attempt the
trip through that particular spot.
In commenting on this situation a
driver of wide experience makes this

a spot of this sort would get out and
spend four or five minutes looking over
the situation and then start through
