IGREENVILLE COUNTY HAS
SIXTEEN ROAD FORCES.
Road Supervisor Patton AsheEille Yis-
itOr, Tells of South Cardinals
100000 Road Bond Issue.

There are sixteen different road
forces at work in GreenvilIe county, -
said P. F. Patton in the Asheville Cit
izen, who enjoys the distinction of
filling the Office of road supervisor in
two different states, "and the work is
proceeding in every direction all over
the county,
Mr.. Patton is the man who gave Hen
derson county her fine system of sand
clay roads He is the supervisor OF
that county and also of GreenYille,
South Carolina, county. He was in
Asheville yesterday to explain to the
board of county commissioners the
merits of new type of road construc--
ton. New in the SOUTH" said Mr.
Patton, but used successfully for
many years in Europe, in Canada and
throughout the north. ~
It is a top dressing for worn mac
adam, of which Buncomhe seems to
have an abundance, Mr.. Patton said.
1t can be put down for sixty cents a
square yard, as against about $1.24 for
the commonly used dressing. The
method is in use in Greenville county
and Mr.. Patton was anxious that the
commissioners send "a committee down
there to investigate it.
"Greenville county has a bond issue
of 100000 for good roads," said Mr..
Patton. "It was more, but they took
$4,000 for the fund for new court
house. We are improving all the roads
from the city line out. We have al
ready graded 125 miles and surfaced
forty miles. In addition we have re
surfaced three miles with this new top
dressing, and find it very satisfactory
indeed.
MANY of the roads in Greenville
county we are surfacing with top
soil. which is a natural mixture OF
sand and clay. This we get from the
field along the roads, and it makes a
perfect sand-clay road. The sand-clay
roads of Henderson county will i'm
prove as time goes on. The sand will
get more thoroughly mixed with the
clay and there will continually be new
coats of sand applied until the right
proportions have been obtained. When
that is done there will be no better
roads anywhere than in Henderson
county. Henderson now has two
miles of improved highway to Bun
combe county's one. which is fact not
generally known. If the county COM
of Buncombe should adopt
this new method of top dressing the
old and worn macadam, the work could
ali be done in twelve months by the 20
men on the chain gang. The principle
of this new method, which is new to
the south only, is based on the princi-
pie of using melted sand, and has been
successful wherever it has been used. +"

WINS RENOwN FOR HEALTH WORK
MOntclair, New Jersey, Wins Distinc-

Department.

During the year 1915, Montclair, New
Jersey, with population of Is 900, was
lsaid to have the livest health depart
ment of anv town her size in the Unit
led States. The annual report of this
Icity's health department for the past
year shows a number of progressive
activities along health lines which have
been instrumental in winning for
Montclair a splendid record of health
work
One of the first things mentioned as
receiving special attention from the
board was the examination of servants
for tuberculosis and venereal diseases.
For the payment of fee of So, any en-
ployer could protect herself and family
by having her servant examined If
the servant passed the examination, a
certificate of health was given him or
her.
Again, all bakeries, food shops,
dairies and ice-cream dealers were
rated according to cleanliness and
other sanitary measure employed. All
employees of bakeries were required to
pass a thorough physical examination

said that Montclair has the best con-
trol1ed milk supply of all American
cities, furthermore, that her baby death
rate is about one half the average rate
OF that for this country.
Another important point is that
Montclair controls her fly situation.
The report says: During the latter
part of the summer there was practi-
caIly no fly-breeding in town and with
the continued cooperation with. the
stable owners there should be very few
flies in town next summer" Mont
clair directed her efforts in suppress
ing the fly against the ay's' breeding

controlled the situation.

SIT AND WALK ERECT
TO ENJOY GOOD HEALTH.

The way a man carries himself has
SO much to do with his health that cor
rect posture is now being emphasized
as one of the principal guideposts to
good health. 1t is now generally be-
lieved that a person who cultivates
cramped, unnatural slouching position
cannot maintain natural, healthful
body. There will likely be brought to
bear some undue pressure in some part
Of the body that will hinder the organs
in performing their natural functions
and if persisted in will cause deformi-
ty.
Life long deformities and chronic
maladies have been known to develop
from incorrect posture that became a
habit in childhood. Round and stoop-
ed shoulders and lateral curvature of.
the spine and deformities largely
brought about by sitting, standing or
walking Incorrectly. Such slouching
attitudes as sprawling in chair, or.
sitting on the backbone rather than
sitting upright, or launching the arms
and shoulders when sitting at desk,
or resting the weight on one leg while
standing rather than on two, or slump
ing while walking which means to
carry rounded shoulders with the head
thEust forward, the stomach thrust out
and the arms hanging loosely in front
of the body1are the main errors Of pos
ture and the main cause of deformi-
ties.
ToS sit stand and walk erect is to
have correct posture. To do this is to
sit well back in the chair and give sup
port to the small of the back. If at a
desk or table sit,close, and high enough
for the arms to rest on the desk with
out pushing up the shoulders. When
it is necessary to lean over desk. in
cline the body by bending at the hips
rather than at the waist.

BIG BOOSTER NEXT WEEK.

This week and the. first of next
will see the final campaign and
the final squirt in getting in all
the copy and cuts for The Hust-
ler's biggest and best booster edi-
ton that has ever come from its
presses.
There will be less hot air and !.
more real facts than in the usual
issue of this character.
!, The aim is to produce a paper
lin magazine which will
be preserved in the homes of the
people and looked at by future
generations as al index of the
progress, prosperity and aspira-
tions of the people of this sec
ton in the year 1916.
We are stressing the HUMAN
ELEMENT-for, in the last
analysis, it is the PEOPLE of a
community that lift it up and
forward, or let it sink down and
back.
We have here the climate, theN
scenery and the soil-the basic
elements with which to build a
civilization that should make the
world take notice.

FOR COPY. Next week the is
sue comes cut.

sole, are comfort to say the least The pearl gray kid model has the edges fin- ished' with rose satin ruching.
 Roman striped mules finished with a |cord and bow are new indeed Satin boudoir slippers shocked with beads are luxurious in effect. For wear with negli- gee garment there is model which also has the bracelet strap for the ankle and all of the leather is cut away, showing the hosiery, except at the tip of the toe.
 Colonial in shape is a gray pump with gray buckle In gray suede and patent leather IS a shoe which has cut-outs on the toe of suede underlayed with black patent leather s Shoe ornaments often match the shoes in color and are mot assertive of their mission of ornamentation. Ornaments of clear crystal trimmed in brilliants, set in carved silver, are among those ornamental in character
 Enamel shoe ornaments in black on silver, or white on gray, are desirable Butterfly bows of metal gauge show tiny clasps with pendant decorations.

French heels are used for dress and l Cuban heels for street wear. Narrow l vamps and recede toes are incorporated in the most popular models.
 A novelty extreme is, the Crinoline shoe, which comes in dull leather, patent leather, or kid, with elastic sides and straight, which fastens all around the top of the boot. A green glazed high boot for those who like the extra ordinary in footweas is laced with green ribbons and reaches high enough to meet the short skirt
 Low shoes with single, double or triple straps often in combination of two ,olors, such as black patent leather with or co,ored kid, with the vamp and front half of the top of lighter leather, while the heel and counter-straps are black, are featured. If the shoe is of one color, it may have piping of different tone. Perforations and slashes underlaid in color are noted in the fanciful styles.
 An oddity of the moment is the brace let slipper, which is high at the back like the laced sandal, but has a strap of leather in place of ribbon faces, which pass around the leg above the ankle.
 A low shoe with toe in castor kid and back quarter and heel in black has the vamp ornamented with narrow band of dull kid cut in points. Three Atraps of black leather fastened at the side with cut steel buckles. A black leather pump has for its sole ornamentation beaded fringe across the instep.
 1 Dancing slippers of the bracelet type of old gold satin fastened over the in step with three narrow straps of satin. These straps are embroidered with gold thread at the top, and the lower part of the strap is ornamented with silk and fringe.
 Cross-strap dancing pumps in gold. silver and all colors of satin have three cross-straps and the back vamp of vel vet. Gold and silver brocades, or black with metal 5rocades, are chosen for eve ming slippers with sandal straps of plain gold or silver cloth1.

FANCY HOSIERY
 If the skirts remain short for street
 wear, the belief is expressed in many quarters that the hosiery will be more luxurious than ever, SO that it will smart ly fill out the space between the shoe and the short skirt . In nearly every instance the hosiery matches either the shoe or the costume.
 Black and white effects, different shades of gray, flesh pink. and all neutral
 shades are good. The stockings for
 sports wear, made to match the sweater, are considered quite the correct thing to wear. Drop stitches, ribbed effects. roundabout stripes, woven plaids, self
 clocking and self embroidery are noted on the hosiery counter. White hosiery will be better than ever. Possibly the vogue for white shoes accounts for this.
 Stockings in open and lace work come
 in new designs, and frequently are as fine as those woven by fairy fingers. Stockings with panels of black lace over gold silk harmonize well with black or black and gold slippers. Only to be seen to be admired are the stockings strewn with dclicately colored old-fashioned bouquets, or those inserted with lace butterfly motifs.

cEMsIn CONGRESSIONAL RECORD
Its Pages Are Crowded With Literary
 Effusions of No Importance.

Mark Sullivan in Golfers Weekly.
 Speaking in the broadest way, there is probably no need in this country so great as that the public generally should take more interest in the Con- sgress;onal Record, for the desirable ef- feet it would have both on the public and through reaction, on the Senate and House But the Congressional Rec crd won't be read so long as it is run the way it now is.
 One great defect of the Record is the crowding of it's pages with masses of irrelevant matter. Within half an hour, one day in February. Senator Clapp of Minnesota asked and obtained permis sion to insert long clipping from the Washington Post; Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin asked and received per mission to insert an article from Vol ume III of The Virginia Law Review, entitled Back to the Constitution" and Senator, Sheppard of Texas secured permission to include an address deliv- | cred by his fellow senator, William H. Thompson of Kansas, before the Kan sas Society of New York City. Some notion of the value of the Kansas sen- !ators contribution to the senatorial dis cussion of public affairs can be had 1 from these typical sentences:
 January 29 is an important date 1 to all Kansans. It marks an inn portant time in my life, because on l this day three years ago I was l elected to the United States Senate 1 by the Kansas Legislature. It is l. the birthday of Kansas. Our state ! is 55 years old-only an infant as 1 time is computed in the life of ]! state or nation. Fifty-five years l ago the ship of state" was launch ! ed, and Kansas's star first appear l ed in the Far West announcing to l { the. world the birth of new state
 to add new life and power to the l greatest republic on earth. With all her thrilling and glorious his l tory, all her failures and success 1 es, that star still shines and has become the brightest in the con- stellation of states. The love 1 of an American citizen for his na- | tive state is second only to his love 1 for his country. l Meantime preparedness, the tariff commission and other subjects of high importance await discussion and action. A few days after this effusion from the Kansas senator, Congressman Henry T.
 Helgesen of North Dakota secured the insertion of what made up sixty-o
 pages, or about 120,0O0 words, tending
 to disprOve the assertion that Robert
 E.. Peary discovered the North Pole
 One hundred and twenty thousand
 words is more than an average book
 but it was inserted as merely a part IOf one days issue of the Record. Sc
 long as this sort of thing goes on the
 Record won't be read and won't be in- telligible.
