A marked inproveneu IN Kansas
roads Il notiesable In all parts Of
the state and especially in those
counties where the road work
has been placed under the direct
supervision Of 4 county engineer.
County boards are beginning
to realize that their many other
duties make II impossible foS
them to give proper attentiOn>to
the county roads," said W. s.
Gearhart, state highway eugi-
ueer. ''where the county engi-

operatively much good work is
done and Il IL done more efficient
ly than could possibly have been
done by the board alone. Under
this system, now being carried
ont in 4 number of the counties,
the county board determines what
road work shall be done and the
county engineer is made directly
responsible for carrying out their
plans.
Sentiment In favor of better
roads for Kansas is increasing
rapidly because 20 many persons
have had opportunity to observe
what other states are doing along
this lire. The earth roads in
this state are the best in the
country, bat Il is hard to keep
them in repair, especially in wet
seasons. The summer rains OF
1915 caused the bottom to drop
ont of our earth roads and they
are just now being brought back
into their former condition.
Roads are being built with
the idea Of permanency. In many
communities temporary make
shifts are no longer tolerated.
Cement culverts replace dilapi-
dated bridges and all other road

character than formerly.
Kansas now has an average
Of one automobile for every mile
of road and If the state expects
to keep pace with this increasing
traffic the main travelled roads,
sooner or later, must be surfaced
with durable materials. Of all
the different kinds of material
available for road surfacing
gravel probably 10 the best for
Kansas conditions 90 long as the
traffic does not exceed 200 vehicles
4 day. When the traffic increases
beyond this number brick or
cement is the best material.
Gravel deposits are numerous
throughout all Of that part. of
Kansas east of a north and south
line through Solomon. This
fact makes gravel the cheapest
surfacing material. Because it

LANSING BACK AT OFFICE
TO STUDY CARRANZA NOTE
Statements in Direct Conflict With
SCOTS Understanding Of Pact
With Oregon.

Washington, June 1. - Secretary
Lansing, who has been absent from
his Office on account of illness for q
week, has just returned to his desk.
He is expected to study the Mexican
note carefully in preparation for the
cabinet meeting. There are state
ments in the communication particu-
larly with regard to the agreement
reached at the Ell Paso conference
which are in direct conflict with Gem
eral SCOTS understanding of what
was included in the unwritten pact.
Funston's Plans Not Limited.
Secretary Baker and General Scott
himself since his return from Ell Paso,
have declared that no limitation had
been placed upon General Funston by
that agreement which would prevent
him either from sending additional
troops to join Pershing's columns, Or
dispatching new expeditions in pur.
suit of raiders such as those at Glenn
Springs, provided his men followed
hot trail.
Undisturbed by Threat.
The thinly yelled threat that failing
withdrawal American forces in Mex.
leo might expect attack by Mexican
troops, left army officers undisturbed.
They are certain that General Persh-
ing is so situated as to be able to take
care Of himself against any force that
could be assembled in Mexico.
