AUTHORS OPPOSED TO UNION
Prominent Writers Object to AffliIia-
 tion With American Federation of

Labor Considering 1t "Dangerous'
 New York, Sept. 22.--Ninety mem- bers of the Authors League ot America. have signed and issued protest against the proposal to affiIi- ate with the American Federation of Laber. Included in that number are many well known writers, such as Jack London, George Ade, Cyrus Townsend Brady, John Burroughs. Winston Churchill, Hamlin Garland, Emerson Hough, Joseph c. Lincoln, Brander Matthews, Ray Stannard Baker, Samuel G. Blythe, Irwin s. Cobb, James M. Flagg, Will Payne. Ida M. Tarbell, Kate Douglas Wig gin, Owen Mister and Edward Mott WoolIey.
 They denounce the proposed affilia- tion as Inappropriate, disadvan- tageous and dangerous" and assert that those favoring it dwell on the advantages of standardizing contracts in the publishing, magazine and the- atrical business, but fail to show that It would attain the advantages.
 The question of af1liation was re- serred to members of the league last spring. To be effective the proposal must be approved at 0 regular meet ng of the league.

How Chalk Is Formed.

Deposits of chalk are. found on some
shores of the sea. A piece of chalk.
such as the teacher uses to illustrate
something on the blackboard at school.
consists of the remains of thousands Of
tiny creatures that at one time lived in
the sea. All of their bodies, excepting
the chalk-called carbonate of lime in
scientific language-has disappeared
and the chalk that was left was piled
up where it fell at the bottom of the
ocean. each particle pressing over it all
until it became almost solid. 1t took
thousands of years to make these chalk
deposits of the thickness in which
they are found. Later on. through
changes in the earth's surface, the
mountain of chalk was raised until it
stood out OF the water and thus be-
came accessible to man and school

A Birds Barbed Wire Fences.

There is in Central America a brown
wren about the size of a canary which
builds a curious nest 1t selects a
small tree with horizontal branches
growing close together. Across two of
the branches it lays sticks fastened to-
gether with tough fiber until a plat
form about six feet long by two feet
wide has been constructed. On the
end of this platform nearest the tree
trunk it then builds a huge dome
shaped nest a foot or so high with
thick sides of interviewer thorns. A
covered passageway is then made from
the nest to the end of the platform in
as crooked Il manner as possible.
Across the outer end as well as at
short intervals along the inside of this
tunnel are placed cunning little fences
of thorns with just space enough for
the owners to pass through. On going
out this opening is closed by the own
er by placing thorns across the gate
way. and thus the safety of the eggs
Or young is assured.

unitina the Family.

How many households have fam
lily hour-a definite time in tile week
when all the members of the family
gather in perfect serenity for an inter
val of genuine communion? Although
civilization brings many advantages III
its train. it has the great fault of tend
ing to disrupt family intercourse. Each
member has too many individual activ
tiles. Fathers have their business;
sons, their business or education; moth
ers, their domestic duties or social oc-
cupations; daughters. their business
their education or their social life.
All these things are right and worthy
in themselves, but they do not tend to
weld the family. If members of a fam
ily will make it a rule to devote them
selves for one hour in the week wholly
to one another the spirit of family life
will be quickened and strengthened.
Often the members of family pursue
parallel courses that do not intersect.
1t is mere platitude to point out that
great events-travel, marriage, death
and the like-must inevitably cause
diSintegratiOn. But so long as the fam.
lily is together under one roof the spirit
of union and common interests should
he fOstered.-Y Youths Companion.

Not Afraid of Cold Steel.

In her younger days Eugene. when
empress of the French nation, was
noted for her great courage. as the fol-
lowing incident proves.
At a brilliant dinner party a some
what tactless general told her majesty
that women should not NEEDLE in poll
tics.
You know, madame" he said. that
politics lead to war. and if the worse
came to the worst you would not have
the nerve to face cold STEEL
Wouldn't II" cried the empress. "I'n
show you And, snatching a large
knife from the table, she inflicted a
deep stab on her arm.
After that the general never breach
ed the subject of wOman's lack of
nerves again.

repairs, such as patching, cleaning

per year was the necessary annual
charge in order to resurface at pc

The sum of $525 per mile, on an aver
age, should therefore maintain mac.

of traffic are not excessive. 1t must
instances where macadam sufficed 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 macadam road have been re-
surfaced with bituminous materials,
and many miles of new bituminous-
macadam have been 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 4
to II cents per square yard, and it
may 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 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
maintenance of 1900 miles of highway
in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey and Rhode Island,
for the year 1872 was about $500 per
mile. A large part of this money was
expended for bituminous resurfacing
and bituminous surface treatment.
There is some question whether the
expenditure correctly measures the
average cost of repairing and main
tanning bituminous-ma roads.
In the state of New York, however,
for the years 1911 and 1912 the aver
age cost for repair and maintenance
was 1924 per mile upon a total aver
age Of 1851 miles The annual cost
Of repair and maintenance on Massa-
chusetts state roads for the years
1910, 1911 and 1912 was, respectively,
$642, $647 and $676 per mile for about
$50 miles. For the most part these
figures for New York and Massachu-
sets represent the cost per mile of
resurfacing with bituminous material
and of maintaining bituminous-macad-
am and water-bound macadam roads
by surface treatment with bituminous
material. 1t is clear, therefore, that
for heavy traffic trunk line roads $500
per mile is not an excessive estimate
at present for the annual cost of all
repair and maintenance on bitumi-
nous-macadam roads.

maintenance and repair of bond-built
highways at the time the bonds are
issued and before construction begins.
AS matter of fact, investigations
made by the department show that in
the majority of cases where bonds
have been issued by local authorities
there has been no provision whatever
for maintaining the roads when built
This is perhaps the greatest defect in
the method of building highways by
issuing bonds.
Maintenance is necessary in order
to insure to the community the maxi
mum economic service by the road,
and also to preserve the investment.
The cost of maintenance and repairs
must, therefore, be studied at the
outset. In the absence of general
data, the reports on maintenance from
states which have highway depart
ments should be of interest to county
officers preparing to issue road-build-
ing bonds.
Cost of Maintenance.
The following opinions as to main.
tenance cost represent the results of
careful analyses of state highway re-
ports, as well as much first-hand in
formation gathered by the depart.
ment's specialists:
Well-constructed gravel roads will
sometimes sustain several years of
farm traffic without showing marked
deterioration, even when there has
been no maintenance. Such roads
sometimes actually improve during
the second season; more frequently
however, they show ruts or chuck
holes. 1t cannot be expected that the
average life of a gravel surface will
be greater than that Of a macadam
surface, which in the New England
and eastern states is between six and
seven years. II sum equal to two
thirds of the original cost of the
gravel surface itself is provided for
renewals at six-year intervals, it
should be estimated at from $3.50 to
$3.50 per mile per year. If $50 is then
allowed for annual dragging and small
repairs, the total annual cost of re-
pair and maintenance for gravel roads
would be from $3.50 to $3.50 per mile.
The annual cost of maintenance alone
is sometimes below $50. In Ben
nington county, VT, during 1912, Its
miles of gravel roads were maintained
at cost Of 5000 per mile, The an
nual cost of maintenance and repair
on sand-clay roads, including all nee
essary resurfacing at periodic inter.
walls, should not be fixed at less than
10 per cent of the original cost.
What Figures Show.
The cost Of repair and maintenance
for water-bound macadam roads has
been determined with considerable ex-
actness from Massachusetts figures
and checked by resurfacing charges in
other states and in Germany. Prior
to 1913, from 500 to $125 per year
