CLEAN HANDS

existence. If the human race would
learn to keep the unwashed hand away
from the mouth many human diseases
would be greatly diminished. We
handle infectious matter more or less
constantly and we continually carry
the hands to the mouth. If the hand
has recently been in contact with in
fectious matter the germs of disease
may in this way be introduced into
the body. Many persons wet their
fingers with saliva before counting
money, turning the pages of a book,
or performing similar acts. In this
case the process is reversed, the in
fection being carried to the object
handled, there to await carriage to
the mouth of some other careless per-
son. In view of these facts the U.
S. Public Health Service has formu-
lated the following simple rules of
personal hygiene and recommends
their adoption by every person in the
United States.

News has reached here of a very
sad accident which occurred at Pear
mond, on the ranch of Fred Nelson,
on the evening of July 30th. The
children of Christ Nelson, who is
ranchman for Nelson, were playing
near some outbuildings, presumably
with some firecrackers, and the ice
house and other buildings caught fire.
The youngest of the children, Min
ME, bright little girl of five years,
was in the ice house in one corner of
which we're four cases of coal oil and
when the flames reached the oil the
cans exploded nearly sufficating the
child, but it finally succeeded in es-
Gaping after being seriously burnt on
one side. 1t inhaled the fire and
smoke and the mouth and throat
were horribly burnt. The little suf-
ferer fingered in pain until 1880 the
next morning when death ended its
suffering.
1t has been definitely settled that
one w. r. Baker,alias Cockney, will
not sail for Klondyke for twelve
months to come. The recent term
of the district court threw a pitcher
of ice water on Cockney's gold fever
that will be temporary if not an
ultimate cure. While the sentence
is merited one and very lenient, yet
there is that feeling, and it can be
said without fear of intelligent con-
tradiction that of all the criminal
acts committed in this county for
years this particular act ranked only
as a shadow of the realistic. The
facts in the case seem to justify the
sentence and the victim who is about
as shiftless as a plantation negro is
model person to use as an example.
We are usually kind and generous to
fault but when we recollect that it
was Cockney that purloined our BIZ
cycle this spring and burst a pedal
giving us the ".hot foot" we cannot
help but gloat over his misfortune.

A. N. Johnson, Highway Engi-
neer, Tells of Its Value to
Any Community.
HIGH WEARING QUALITY
MAKES 1T BEST IN END
Compares It With Other Types of
Highways and Shows Its ALL
Round Advantages.

"A concrete road will tend to pull
stay out" according to A. n. Johnson,
highway engineer, who for number
of years was connected with the Office
of public roads. United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In speaking on the subject of con-
crete roads, their construction and
value to a community a few days ago,
he said:
"Clean, hard, well graded sand and
pebbles or crushed stone, mixed with
quaky or jelly-like consistency. even
tually hardens into stone. When such
mixture is laid so that slabs sixteen
feet wide by from thirty to fifty feet
long are formed. you have a pave
with a durable. non-skid surface that
makes possible higher traffic speed
with large loads drawn by fewer horses
or less tractive power-a road open to
traffic 365 days in the year-briefiy, a

tion requires. first. proper preparation
of foundation or Subgrade. This
means compacting the soil where the
concrete is to be laid and providing
drainage SO that water will not remain
under the concrete slabs. Upon the
properly prepared foundation concrete
is placed in one or two layers or
roads are built after what is known as
the One-COurSe construction.

FORBIDDEN BY STATUTE.
Penalty for Permitting Water to
Flow From Fields to Roads.

Muddy roads due to water which
flows over the surface of land along
a highway into the side bitches are
expensive to the public. No railroad
will tolerate wet roadbed longer
than is necessary to carry out the
drainage work to dry the earth. But
persons whose convenience depends in
no small measure on the roads passing
by their property rarely do anything
TO check the injury they are working
to themselves and their neighbors in
the manner mentioned.
The Colorado highway commission
has called attention to statute which
makes it misdemeanor in that state
TO allow water to flow on road and
has issued the following notice on the
subject: From the fields along a high
way the waste or excess water is al
lowed to run directly to the road
ditch. and if as is often the case. the
road ditch is obstructed this water
gets over the road, making a muddy
road. which under the traffic soon be-
comes impossible. This can he pre-
vented by running a ditch, a single
furrow may answer, along the fence

Aids Year-Round Touring.

Touring possibilities at all seasons of
the year and every day in the year 20
hand-in- hand with the concrete road.
Safety first is realized as the result of
the non-skid surface. Concrete bouIe-
wards through the open country make
riding pleasurable by doing away with
the jar. dust In dry weather and mud
in wet weather. A smooth surface makes
steering easy, reduces tire cost, lessons
fuel consumption. These are some of
the ways in which a concrete road bene-
fits the motorist.
Reduced to simple terms, a concrete
road helps the farmer haul two loads at
or. II doubles the size of the load and
cuts in two the tractive power necessary
to transport farm produce. With less
capital tied up in horses there is more
cash to put into equipment to produce
more cash. Phe concrete road reduces
the strain on horses and lengthens their
lives. 1t reduces wear on wagons and
harness. Where motor trucks are used
1t lessons tire and fuel expense. 1t puts
the farmer in a state of preparedness to
reach markets quickly when prices are
best and he can take his profits and get
home with more cash than he could by
slow hauling on a bad road. It adds to
the acreage value of a farm because Il
increases its earning possibilities. A
concrete road makes all Of these advan-
tases permanent. bringing Its toll Of profit

Costs 900 a Mile to Build.

Concrete roads cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 per mile to build. When
built the cost of keeping them in re-
pair, owing to the permanence Of con-
crete, is an average of only $50 per
mile. The enormous annual saving in
the maintenance of a concrete road
compared with other types is shown by
statistics gathered from Massachusetts,
Connecticut. Rhode Island, New Jersey
and New York for eight years. These
combined statistics show a total aver
age cost per mile of S60S for mainte-
nance of roads built with material other
than concrete, while a concrete road
costs only an average of $50 per mile
per year.
Reduced to an average basis and
distributed over a period of twenty
years under a million five hundred
bond issue. the average
cost or Il concrete road to farmer liv-
ing on land valued az S30.63 per acre
is Ss4 cents per acre per year. This
estimate Is based upon proposed con-
crete road construction in Vermilion
county, Illinois. anI Vermilion county
has just accepted bids for 14l miles OF
concrete highway. Distributed over a
period of years and equalized among
the farmers and taxpayers VINO are thus
enabled to reach their market town 365
days in the year-and more quickly
than ever before-with larger loads
drawn by fewer horses; the cost of a
concrete road is negligible So a
concrete road is relatively cheap be-
cause a profitable Investment

How the Road Is Built.

The first consists of relatively
rich concrete mixture throughout: the
second of somewhat leaner mixture
for base. with d richer top or wear
ing course applied before the concrete
in the base has commenced to harden.
Usually where the slabs forming a con-
crete road are greater than sixteen
feet wide, or where the roads must
cross low. frequently wet and hence
poorly drained spots. reinforcing in the
form of mesh fabric is embedded in
the concrete while placing. This as
sists to prevent the slabs from crack
ing. either as the result of settlement
of the foundation or from the heaving
due to frost action. Where suitable
materials are obtainable the one-course
type of road is preferable.
High wearing quality of the con-
crete road results from the using prop
erly graded. clean, hard sand and
crushed rock or pebbles. These must
be combined with cement and water in
proper proportions. Cement makes Il
firm binder. 1t holds the sand or
broken stone so tightly together that
modern traffic produces but little wear
on the surface and cannot disIodge the
particles.

Kentucky First to Aid Roads.

It is often said that the use Of state
money for the construction of roads is
of quite recent origin. The New Jersey
state aid law of 1891 is sometimes re-
ferred to as the first instance of such
use of state funds in this country. As a
matter of fact, state money was spent
for such purposes more than seventy
Ave years ago. Kentucky paid out over
s2,O0O.O00 for road improvements be-
tween 1920 and 1910, under the direc-
ton of a state highway engineer. who
drew a salary of $1,000 a year, a very
large sum for those days. The roads
built then were twenty-four to thirty
feet wide between the bitches. The sur
faces were constructed of broken stone,
and the bottoms were of large stones
wedged together to make what road
builders call telford foundation.
About in 1850 business conditions in the
country became bad and this work
stopped. When it was resumed in 1908
such long period had elapsed since
the earlier state-aid work that 1908 is
usually fixed as the beginning Of state
roadwork In Kentucky.
Evening star., 1916-08-13
ROAD ACCOUNTING NEEDED.
Difficult to Obtain Accurate Figures
on Work, It Is Declared.

There are so many conflicting state
ments regarding the cost of road work
that the desirability of a comprehen-
sive method of highway accounting is
evident. in order that taxpayers may
not be mised concerning the total ex-
pense of such work. The Iowa state
highway commission has had consider
able difficulty in finding out what the
counties in that state have been spend
ing, because of this failure to have a
complete system of accounts.
One rich county reported collecting
$500 for roadwork. but after investi-
cation the commission found that $32.-
500 had been collected. An investiga-
ton of the accounts of another wealthy
county reporting $4,000 collected re-
vealed a total collection of S19,600. The
discrepancies were not due to an in
tention to hide the amount of the funds
but merely to lack of good accounting.
Even greater confusion was found in
the method of the township. AS good
accounting is essential for the success
full administration of any kind of busi-
ness. it seems desirable for state and
local officials to join in developing
methods which will be accurate and
comprehensive.

Eonds a Road Investment.

mo extensive road improvement In
any community can be carried on with
out more money than can usually be
raised by direct taxation extending
through short term. 1t is unjust to ex-
pect the taxpayers of today to assume
the total cost of an Improvement which
is to last into the next generation, so
bonds are usually issued TO finance the
building of roads that will permanently
cut down maintenance expense and re-
duce hauling costs. These bonds are
sold and thus converted into money. In
terest on the bonds is paid. and the
bonds retired by funds obtained from
current road taxes. When the bonds have
been paid the community still has its
concrete roads in excellent condition.
No community can afford to spend
it's money with less caution than a pri-
vate individual would display. The COM
munity should do likewise. When YOU
are asked to vote for a bond issue to
build concrete roads you are not raising
public money to spend II. but to invest
1t. AS concrete road mileage in a COM
munity is increased. the burden of road
maintenance decreases. and the saving
thus resulting will not only pay interest
on the bonds. but provide funds to retire
them they fall due. In this way bor-
rowing is made profitable.
