VALUE OF IMPROVED ROADS
Public Highway is More Generally
Used Than Any Other Means
of Intercommunication

It has been stated, and correctly
so that only ten per cent of the
public roads in the United States are
improved; in many states, only 5 per
cent have been made good. There
fore, with from 90 to IS per cent of
our highways mere trails across
country, Americans are living in a
land of mud and dust, according to
the season.
Rarely are poor roads easily
travelable; improved roads, if i'm
proved according to modern methods
are always travelable in the most in
clement weather, barring blizzard
and snowdrifts. The force of this OBJ
servation may be the more readily
understood when it is stated that
the public roads are more generally
used than any other means of inter
communication. 1t is free and open
to all the people. 1t is benefit to
one class more than another only to
the extent one class uses it more
than another.
Many sections of the country are
opposing road improvements, just
like the cattle 'barons Of the unstaked
western plains--the llano estacado-
once many years ago opposed the com
ing of the homesteader and the rail
road One definition of "mossback'
is that he is a foe to progress Oppo-
nents of good roads are mossbacks of
this character. They are humping
their heads on the van of progress
solely because they lack understand
ing of the value of good road; to
their own communities.
Too much cannot be said in favor
of improved roads. They are wol tn
all thew cost. The argument is all ore
way. Why drive through mud and
water with a four-horse team empty

preference for President, placing
full confidence in the wisdom, IN
tegrity and courage of its electoral
nominees, and
Whereas, Mr.. John M. Parker. our
distinguished candidate fo- Vice
President, is advocating, in thoso
States where no Progressive electors
have been nominated, the candidacy
of Wilson, thus exercising his rights
as an American citizen, and
Whereas, this Committee has, the

LONG-TERM VISITORS
CORNER SHORE ROOMS;
COTSFOR WEEK-ENDERS
Hotel Clerks Wrinkle Noses
When Asked for "Best Accom-
mediation Over
Sunday"
MANY ENT COTTAGES

ATLANTIC CITY, July 29.-week-end
parties are always popular here, the in
crease in visitors at that time always being
noticeable, but from today on that class of
visitors will not be received with the same
cordialty as at other seasons of the year.
Perplexed hotel clerks have their brains
wobbling now, in order to scheme out how
to house all the people who want ocean,
front rooms for the whole month OF August.
When, therefore, they are asked to furnish
the best of accommodations for people who
desire to stay only over Sunday they are
apt to get a little peeved.
Many visitors cannot understand how the
hotel capacity must be stretched to take
care Of the crowds which will be here from
this date until after Labor Day. While
end OF the week, they need not expect the
best in the house at this season of the
year.
acquisitions for cots have been in order
for the last few days and many of the hotel
parlors, billiard rooms and ends of Railways
will look like hospitals tonight with long
rows of cots for the foolish persons who do
not arrange for rooms in advance.
The sure sign OF continued storm was
in evidence yesterday morning. stifr wind
blowing from the northeast which, accord
ing TO local weather prophets. betokens
three days of rain here. They were wrong,
though, and the Ill wind blew lot of good.
sending the fog and dampness scurrying
out to sea- Bright sunshine followed this
cleanup Of weather conditions and nothing
but fair weather is looked for from this
time until the next phase of the moon, anna
teurs say.
There has been big demand for cottages
here this season and only very small per-
centage of the cottages in the city proper,
Ventnor and Margate City have been idle.
The location or other conditions prevented
their rental in most cases. Usually after
July the demand for cottages dies out.
but this year there was no lull in the in
qulries. Many of the summer residents go
to the mountains for the month OF August.
especially those who are susceptible TO the
annoyances of hay fever, and in previous
years they were compelled to close up their
summer homes here,
1t is different this season as there has
been a steady demand for cottages.

MACKEY DENIES PLEA
FOR COMPENSATION
Sustains Referees Decision in
Case of Workman Killed
in Greensburg

HARRISBURG. July 29.-Harry A.
Mackoy, chairman of the workmen's Com
pensRtion Board. sustains the action of the
referee who refused to order the Borough
Of Greensburg to pay compensation to Mrs.
Nicholetta Russo Silvestre, whose husband
was killed when he was struck by an auto
mobile in Greensburg.
Testimony taken at the hearing showed
that Silvestre was employed by the
borough to work on the streets. The
morning he was killed, he left his home
before breakfast to look at the condition
of the streets and see If they were fit to
be worked upon. Had they been, and had
he not been killed, the board holds, Sill
vestre would have returned home, gotten
his breakfast and then started out with his
tools, which he did not take when he left
home. Chairman Mackey says there is
nothing to show Silvestre was killed while
in the performance of his duties and there
fore the action of the referee In refusing
compensation must be sustained.

M'CREA LEFT i. OF ?.
FOR HIGHER SALARY
columbia offered Him More"
Says Provost Smith, Who Seeks
$20,000,0OO Fund

Small pay caused Dean Roswell McCrea
TO leave the University OF Pennsylvania last
June and accept post at Columbia, ac-
oording to Provost Smith, who is urging
an endowment fund of $40 000, 900 to keep
pace with progress and prevent other coll
leges from raiding the University teaching
staff
The wave Of prosperity has not hit the
University Provost Smith said, and the only
remedy that he could see was for the
alumni to come to the rescue.
Dean McCrea left here" the Provost
said, because Columbia offered him more
money than we could pay him. and not on
account OF the Scott Nearing controversy
or any other. 1t was purely a question of
salary"
Only 10 of the 204 professors at the Uni.
verslty Of Pennsylvania are said TO receive
$4,000 year, whereas that is the average
pay at Columbia.
Salaries range from $4,000 down to
$4,000, $4,000 to $4,000 and below" Provost
Smith said-"ln fact, some hundreds be-
low"
The University of Pennsylvania is not so
well off financially as Harvard, Yale, CO.
lumbia and some other colleges, because
IL is more of a democratic university and is
not 80 prone to attract rich men, the Prov
ost explained.

THE MCKER By EDGAR R.F1 RCE B BuRRouGHs 1ISS EE5sE5

the ascent of the trail which soon became
rough and precpitous, while behind them,
under cover of the brush, sneaked four
trailing Samurai.
After half an hour Of the most arduous
climbing, the mucker commenced to feel the
effects of loss Of blood from his many
wounds.
He coughed a little now from the exer-
tlon, and when he did the blood spurted
anew from the fresh wound in his breast.
Yet there was no wavering or weakness
apparent to the girl who marched beside
him, and she wondered at the physical en-
durance of the man.
But when at last they came to clear
pool Of water, half hidden by overhanging
rocks and long masses of depending moses
In the midst OF q natural grotto of enchant-
ing lovelness, and Oda Iseka sgnaled that
their journey was at an end, Byrne laid
Theriere gently upon the flower-starred
Sward and with little gasp, collapsed,
unconscious, beside the Frenchman.
Barbara Harding was horror-stricken.
She suddenly realized that she had COM
menced to feel that this giant of the slums
was invlncible, and with the thought came
another--that to him she had come to look
more than to Theriere for eventual rescue.
Now, here she found herself in the center
of savage island surrounded, as she felt
confident she was, by skulking murderers,
with only two dying white men and a brown
hostage as companions,
Now Oda Iseka took in the situation, and
with grin of triumph raised his voice In
a loud halloo.
Come quickly, my people," he cried FOR
both the white men are dyingl"
From the jungle below them came an an
swerlng shout:
I'VE come, oda Iseka, Lord of Yoka
Your faithful Samurai come !"

CHAPTER XIV.

The Muoker Receives Trust.
A T the sound of the harsh voices so close
IA upon her, Barbara Harding was gall
vanized into instant action. Springing
to Byrne's sde she whipped Theirere's
revolver from his belt, where 1t reposed
about the fallen mucker's hips, and with 1t
turned like a tigress upon the youth.
Quick !" she cried. Tell them to go
back-thnt 1 shall kill you IL they come
closer!"
The boy shrank back In terror before the
fiery eyes and menacing attitude of the
white GIRL and then with the terror that
animated him ringing plainly in his voice
he screamed to his henchmen to halt.
Relieved for moment at least from i'm
mediate danger, Barbara Harding turned
her attention toward the two unconscious
men at her feet From appearances 1t
seemed that either might breathe his last at
any moment AS she looked at Theriere a
wave of compassion swept over her, and the
tears welled to her eyes
Yet 1t was to the muclter that she first
minlstered-why. she could not for the life
of her have explained.
She dashed cold water from the spring
upon his fact. She bathed his wrists and
washed his wounds tearing strips from her
skirt to bandage the horrid cash upon his
breast in an effort to stanch the flow of
blood that welled forth with the mans
every breath.
md at last she was rewarded by seeing
the life-stream quelled and signs of re-
turning consciousness appear.
