How Japs PLAY Ken.

In it's most widely practiced form the
basis of the Japanese game of ken is
that the fully outstretched hand signi-
fies paper. the fully closed hand a
stone, and two fingers alone extended,
the rest being closed, scissors. Each of
the players. counting one, two. three,
throws out his hand ut the moment Of
pronouncing three, and the one whose
manual symbol is superior to that of
the others. according to the theory Of
the game. wins the trial. Superiority
is determined on the hypothesis that
whereas scissors cannot cut stone
they can cut paper and whereas paper
is cut by scissors it can wrap up a
stone-consequently scissors are infe-
rior to stone, but conquer paper: stone
is inferior to paper, but conquers scis-
sors. and paper is inferior to scissors.
but conQuers stone. There are innu-
merable varieties of the game

Why Mothers Sing to Babies.

Psychologists who have carefully

mothers sing their babies to sleep. 1t

It is a popularity of the Zuni native

STATE TO MAINTAIN ROADS
Amount Exceeding $16o,ooo,ooo Ex-
pended Annually for Construction
and Care Of Highways.

The realization has become quite
general that, in order TO render maxi
mum service, state highway depart
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance of local roads. For this
class of roads an amount exceeding
$16,000,0O0 is expended annually, with
comparatively little result to show in
the form of improved road mileage for
this great outlay. The state of Iowa
has met this situation by placing all
the road work in the state under the
direction of the state highway depart
ment.
Traffic is increasing so rapidly as to
cause excessive wear upon the roads,
especially in the vicinity OF congested
centers of population. This results
in a heavy annual maintenance cost,
averaging in the large Eastern states
not less than $3.50 per mile per annum.
Many experiments have been made
in the effort to detise types of road
which can be maintained at relatively
low cost. Thus far, aside from the
cheaper forms of construction, the
states are depending upon the various
forms Of bituminous macadam, con-
crete and vitrified brick road.

Chronometers Aboard Ship.

A ships chronometer is the most
wonderful and accurate timekeeper
made, for upon it's accuracy depend
the lives of all on board. So accurate.
indeed. is ships thermometer that it
does not vary second day. An err
ror of only a few seconds may put u
captain of a vessel miles out of his
reckoning at sea and run the ship into
great danger. For that reason every
ships timepiece goes through the most
thorough tests before it is pronounced
perfect. 1t is set going in very hot
room and then transferred to a cold
one. for it may be used in any part of
the world. from the polar regions to
the tropics. and it must always keep
good time
Most large vessels have three chro-
nometers on board in case of accident.
and whenever a vessel goes into port
they are sent on shore and tested to
see if they are still accurate. On board
ship the chronometer is kept amid
ships, because there are the least
motion and the smallest variation of
temperature.

Nice eaIlroom Ornaments.

Count Moltke in 1856 accompanied
the crown prince of Prussia to Moscow
to attend the coronation of Alexander
III. At a ball in the Kremlin Moltke
was introduced to a group of pictur-
esque potentates from central Asia
with their girdles stuck full of daggers
and pistols in the Albanian manner
and he begged to know whether these
firearms of theirs were loaded. why
should carry them if they were not
loaded?" replied the spokesman OF the

BEAUTY OF OUR STATE ROADS
Roadside Is Good One-Decision
of Maryland Court.

The decision of the court Of appeals
sustaining the validity of the law
which confers upon the state board OF
forestry regulative power and author
ity in the matter of planting or cutting
and pruning trees along the state high
ways, is of potential Importance i'll
connection with the latest proposal
to improve the side lines Of the state
roads by the planting of forest or fruit
trees. The state road law apparently,
in the original draft, contemplated
such a scheme of improvement, says
Baltimore American. While the plant
ing of shade trees is not made a man
datory duty on the state road
commission, there is a clause in the
law that opens the way for such a
plan of Identification.
The state forestry board would per-
haps be the agency through which
such a plan could be best realized.
The activities of the annual arbor
days have not been largely resultful in
the matter of roadside tree planting.
Such a scheme can only be brought
to realization through systematic and
persistently maintained effort. But
the idea is good one and should be
brought to realization even though it
is necessary for the state to invest
some money in the undertaking. Moth
ing would more conduce to the beau
LITIGATION of rural neighborhoods than
the lining of the highways with shade
trees.

The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
road we'll drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and
a smooth crown maintained. Side
bitches of ample capacity should be
maintained with sufficient fall to dis
pose of surface water These bitches
in most places can be constructed and
repaired with road machine. The
road machine CT grader may in gen.
eral be used effectively for this work
The machine should be used when the
soil is damp so that it will pack and
bake into hard crust.
All vegetable matter, such as sods
and weeds, should be kept out of the
road, as they make spongy surface
which retains moisture. Clods are
also Objectionable for they soon turn
to dust or mud. Bowlders or loose
stones are equally Objectionable if a
smooth surface is to be obtained.
A spill u, drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and
cross-sections have once been con-
structed. This drag can also be
used to advantage on most gravel
roads as well as on earth road. The
principle involved in dragging is that
clays and most heavy soils will puddle
if worked when wet and set very hard
the earth road needs must be given
promptly, therefore, and at the prop
er time if the best results are to be
obtained.
In dragging roads only small
amount of earth is moved, just enough
to fill the ruts and depressions with
a thin layer of plastic clay or earth
which packs very hard so that the
next rain, instead of finding ruts and
depressions in which to collect, runs
off, leaving the surface but little al.
fected.
Using the Drag.
The drag should be light and should
be drawn over the road at an angle Of
about As degrees. The driver should
ride on the drag and should not drive
faster than a walk One or two round
trips. the first straddling the wheel
tracks. is usually sufficient to fill the
ruts and smooth the surface. If neces-
sary the road should be dragged after
every bad spell of weather, when the
soil is in proper condition to puddle
well and still not adhere to the drag.
If the road is very bad it may be
dragged when very wet and again
when it begins to dry out. A few trips
over the road will give the operator
| an idea as to the best time to drag.
Drag at all seasons but do not drag
| a dry road.
The side slope or crown of an
earth road should be about one inch
| to the foot. If the crown becomes too
high it may be reduced by dragging
/ toward the ditch instead of from it.
| If the drag cuts too much, the hitch
| should be shortened and the driver
should change his position on the drag.
! If it is necessary to protect the face
| of the drag with strip of iron, it
should be placed flush with the edge
of. the drag and not projecting. A
cutting edge should be avoided as the
main object of the drag is tc move but

From Trade Organs
A Profitable Embargo

One export which the United States
has lost as a result OF the European
war Is the tourist, who formerly did so
much to neutralize our yearly favorable
balance of trade. By common consent
rather than accurate calculation the
bill has been put at about S300,oO0,OOO
a year. Exports are regarded as indica-
tive Of prosperous business; tourists
exports may have been reflective of
them. but so far as trade balances go
they count on the import side Of the
ledger rather than on the other. In a
word. the money used by our people
abroad might have been classed as ex-
penditure for the purpose Of purchas-
ing pleasure, entertainment, etc. He
would be regarded as pessimist IN
deed who undertook to condemn this
outlay as an ill-advised and unre-
munerative item, but, getting down to
dollars and cents, the embargo on tour

pensating factors, for as tourist exports
stopped security imports began, and the

WEATHER FAVORS
FALL CROP SEEDING
Tobacco Growers Secure Their
Largest Yield This Season
Washington, ID. C., NoU. IL.


Reports received by the Bureau OF
Crop Estimates of the United States
DEPARTMENT of Agriculture show that
the mild, sunny weather of October
with generally deficient rainfall, has
been favorable and in many sections,
ideal for harvesting, and for the ma
turity Of late crops, except where Kill
ing frosts interviewed. In the North
Central States it was generally, and
in most states exceptionally, favorable
for ploughing and the seeding of fall
grains. In the South and West the
extreme dryness in most states inter-
fered somewhat with ploughing and
planting, and in many cases seeding
was prevented or accomplished in
lumpy or dusty seed bed. Reports in
dictate the fall grains are generally
showing good termination with even
stand, though small growth.
The tobacco crop, according to gov
eminent reports for November, is the
largest ever secured by growers in TINS
country, the yield as now indicated be-
ing 1,145,53O,O 900 pounds. This is 3d.
coo 900 pounds more than was produced
last year and 100000 pounds in cx-
cess of the previous record crop In
