New Coins.

Secretary McAdoo has announced
new designs for half dollars, quar-
ters and dimes issued after July 1.
This will be the first change in the
designs for these coins in the last
quarter of century.
The new designs are described in
Commerce and Finance. The new
half dollar has on it's face the full
length figure of Liberty looking to-
ward the dawn of a new day. In
her hand are the laurel and oak
branches, symbolic of civic and mill
tary glory, while back of her an
American flag floats to the breeze.
On the reverse side of the coin is
shown an eagle with distended wings
seated on high mountain crag, in
a rift Of which sapling of mountain
pine is growing, a symbol of Amer
lea.
It is said that "the quarter dollar
design emphasizes the country's
awakening to the need Of prepared
ness" If these coins were to help
spread militaristic feeling among
the. people, it would be regrettable,
but if as much money is to be spent
on preparedness as some people fa-
vor, the quarters will not have such
a widespread circulation as to in.
auence the people.
Perhaps, however, the average
American is more fukerested in the
new dimes than in the other coins.
The dime is quite simple in design.
The figure of Liberty in a winged
cap is shown on the face, and on the
reverse is fasces, the symbol of
unity wherein there is strength.
It is said that "on all the coins,
the figure of Liberty appears in &C
tion and so typiies hustle, an at
tribute Enthusiastically American"
The people, we are sure, will well
come these new coins, but will not
lose their esteem for the old on that
account. The old coins may not be
as artistic, but a dimes a dime, for
a that.-Chattanoo News.

BEES BREAK UP SCHOOL.
Imprison Teacher and Pupils Until
Rescue Party Comes.

Forty school children were held
prisoners for half a day at Lang
worth school by buzzing swarm of
bees, which finally broke up school
for the day.
The bees had hived in one corner
of the roof for weeks, and had been
undisturbed until some of the young
sters threw clods and dislodged the
hive. The bees attacked their tor
mentors, who took refuge in the
school house.
Miss Ida Warford, the teacher, put
her head out of the door to see the
cause of the commotion and was
stung on the nose. Hundreds OF
bees swarmed into the half-opened
door, and the children sought refuge
in the next room, while the teacher
and older boys battled with wet
cloths and whatever weapons they
had handy.
They, too, were finally forced into
the other room, and the entire school
was made prisoner until some Of the
parents, alarmed at the absence OF
their children, came to the rescue.
They were forced to flee, too, but
finally came back armed with sui
phur. with which they routed the
bees. A number Of the children and
the animals in nearby fields were
severely stung.

OF traffic are not excessive. 1t must
be understood, however. that in many
instances where macadam suffced for
the volume and character Of traffic
prior to 1906, it will not withstand the
action of the motor vehicle traffic
which has developed since that time.
Many miles of ordinary or water.
bound macadar road have been re-
surfaced with bituminous materials,
and many miles of new bituminous-
macadam have beea constructed The
logical maintenance of such highways
is a surface treatment with bitumi-
nous material and rock screenings
clean gravel or sharp sand. The cost
of such surface treatment Is from
TO IL cents per square yard. and II
nay be expected to last from one to
three years, according to the density
Of traffic and the success of the appli-
cation. Theoretically, perfect surface
treatment would constitute absolute
maintenance for a bituminous-mac-
adam road. Such maintenance is
seldom or never realized and bitumi.
nous-macadam roads doubtless require
resurfacing at intervals. The cost of
such resurfacing Is not yet known.
Repair and Maintenance.
The average cost for repair and
in Connecticut, Massachusetts,, New
York. New Jersey and Rhode Island.
for tie year 1912, was about $500 per
mile. A large part Of this money was
expended for hituminous resurfacing
and bitumilous surface treatment.
There Is some question whether the
expenditure correctly easures the
cyerage cost CT repairing and main
tanning bituninous-macadam roads.
Ii the state of New York, however,
for the years 1911 and 1912 the aver.

was s724 per mile upon a total aver.
ags of 1861 miles. The annual cost
of repair and maintenance on Massa.
cEusetts state roads for the years
1916, 1911 and 1912 was, respectively
$642, $647 and $C7e per mile for about
$50 miles. For the most part these
figures for New York and Massachu.
sets represent the cost per mile o1

and of maintaining bituminous-macad.

rich salad dressings are not appropri
ate for either fruit or meat or fish
salads.
The materials to be used for salad
should be free from water. Carefully
dry all lettuce and fruit after washing
for oil will not mix with water. French
dressing is the general favorite for
crisp vegetable salads as 1t is quickly
prepared. A vinegar that has been
used ou picked beets. or cucumbers
should always be saved to use in salad
dressings. When making the boiled
variety the spiced vinegar makes an
unusual flavor which is well liked.
If color scheme is to be carried
out little vegetable coloring may be
added to the dressing. A pretty com.
bination is chopped beets with dress
ing colored light pink. Garnish the
salad with white leaves Of lettuce.
A salad may not only fill an orna

also recognized as having distinct
food value as well as a pleasure tc
