COO according TO the character Of con-
struction, whether surface treated, pen
etration or mixing method. The btu
minous type is quite general in the
eastern states. As indicating costs In
other sections Of country the state
highway commissioner Of Michigan re-
ported In 1913 the average cost for
macadam roads to be $4,000 per mile,
clay gravel roads $1,000 per mile and
concrete roads about $4,000 per mile.
The average cost of state highways
constructed in Ohio In 1913 was $S,3S3.
According to types, I'm 1912 the brick
paved highways averaged $14,GJO per
mile and the macadam highways So
$50. In California the first 1856 miles OF
the state system of highways cost an
average of SS.143 per mile and con-
sisted principally Of thin concrete with
a thin coat of bitumen. The maximum
and minimum figures given are not alb.
solute, but are intended to present the
usual range of costs. The rates given
include grading. drainage. surfacine
and engineering costs.

COST OF STATE ROADS.
Variable Factors Must Be Taken Into
Consideration.

The cost of road Is dependent upon
not only the type of construction, but
the amount and character OF grading to
be done, the cost of labor and mate
rails, the width and thickness Of sur
facing, the character and amount Of
drainage required and other factors OF
equal variability. Based upon general
averages. II has been ascertained by
highway specialists Of the department
that under average conditions mac
adam roads can be built In southern
states ut from $4,000 to 5000 per mile,
gravel roads at from $500 to $500
per mile and sand-clay and top soil
roads at from $500 to 81 800 per mile
In New England and the other eastern
states macadam roads are reported at
from $1,000 to $1,000 per mile, gravel

THE DIXIE HIGHWAY.
Completion Of Route For Tourists Ex-
pected In Another Year.

missioners of the Dixie highway over
the route from Chicago to Miami termi-
mated recently I'm Miami While 1t can
not be said that the commissioners
found a twelve months road-that Is,
a highway easily used the year around
all the way they did find wonderful
progress In road building along the en-
tire way, and In many considerable
stretches the highway is already ideal
Several members of the touring party
stated that the Dixie highway In Its
entirety Is in as good condition as the
Lincoln highway was at the time Of
the first inspection tour over 1t. II not
better. 1t must be considered, OF
course, in this connection that the
Dixie highway has not nearly as much
mileage as the Lincoln highway.
The work which has already been
done furnishes basis for the perfec-
ton Of the highway which is most ad-
vantageous. 1t Is assured from the
present condition Of the road and the
tremendous interest that has been
taken in Its construction that one year
more will see twelve months road.
That 1t should be such highway is
absolutely necessary before the ideal
and the purposes upon which the con-
ception Of the highway was founded
can be realized.
There are two principal purposes
back Of the construction of the high
way. One b for the economic benefit
o: the localities through which the road
runs. The highway In its present con-
dition is passable, but not In all in
stances In such condition as TO allow
the transportation Of crops to market
at the minimum cost.
The other purpose Is for the benefit
Of tourists of the north coming south
and for tourists OF the south going
north. The advantage now Is greatly
In favor OF the tourists going north In
the summer and, owing TO several bad
sections. offers less advantage as a
whole TO tourists coming south. be-
cause winter weather puts the roads In
worse condition.
Aside from the convenience OF tour
lists motoring southwark, southern
Georgia and Florida are to derive a
great financial benefit from perfected
highway. Florida In particular Is pc
culiarly dependent upon tourists trade,
The road is not yet In condition where
motoring over its entire length VIII be

WORLD RELIGIONS AND CHILD
.flf-- o'T HOOD. "

TN NO religious system save that
i Of Christianity does the child
receive any recognition. MO
manned seems to know nothing
about a child; heathenism and my
thology seem to know nothing
about childhood. Their gods were
not born children, nor are they ever
clothed with any sympathy for q
child; they never enter into the
plays of children. nor share their
sports. These gods are gods OF
terror, gods Of passion. gods OF
lust, gods of might. but never gods
of helpfulness, or Of interest In
childhood, and hence make no pro-
vision for children. II Is. however,
one of the great elemental facts OF
Christianity that its leader and
founder was born in q manger un-
der the law of total helplessness,
and Christianity is the only re-
ligion wherein a child is the basis
and foundation of its faith. Chris
tianity is the age that has recog-
nized the child and teaches that "A
child shall lead them" that ex-
horts its followers to feed my
lambs" and teaches that we must
become as little children" because
"of such is the kingdom of heaven"
In the open heart Of the child
the Sunday school 10 planting the
good seed of Gods Word. Prob
ably a majority of homes which
give religious instruction revolve
it about the Sunday school lessons.
But the task of training child
hood extends through adolescence
and maturity as well. For this rea-
son the modern Sunday school rec
ognizes that II is no longer a school
for children. Starting with the
cradle roll 1t extends on to tho
grave without regard for age or
sex. old as well as young. parents
and children; the Sunday school
asks no questions. II includes all.
Nevertheless the chief emphasis In
the Sunday school has been and
must continue to be the teaching
and training Of children. Over the
main entrance to the Childrens
building at the Chicago worlds
fair were the words. The hope OF
the world is the children" This
Is true. but II is not more true
than TO say. The hope OF the world
is the children trained In the
truths Of Christianity" Richard
Baxter contended that in the So
called Christian lands there should
be no adult converts. all should be-
come Christians when they are
young.

Remarkable System Of Concrete Roads

Remarkable System OF Concrete ROADS.
Wayne county, In Michigan, has the
most remarkable system Of concrete
roads In the United States. Their con
struction began about seven years ago
The value OF farm lands has In many
instances more than doubled. Farmers
who formerly required four horses to
transport their produce TO town now
use one horse. Where trips TO market
formerly occupied an entire day, or
perhaps two, the journey is now made
In few hours. These roads radiate
like the spokes OF wheel with Detroit
as their center. The great department
stores OF the city deliver merchandise
over wide area. going now into what
were formerly remote rural districts.
In brief. many OF these farms, In so
far as easy access to the city is con-
cerned, have become suburban proper
ties. The average maintenance on con-
crete roads sixteen feet wide has been
less than $50 per mile per year. and I'm
the case Of concrete road built In
Bellefontaine, o.. more than twenty
years ago. a road subject 10 constant
use since that time. the average repair
charges have been less than S25 per
mile per year.

Faithful Soldiers at
Their Posts, Though Far
From the Battlefields

The hot wave is broken and the suffer-
ing people breathe with gratitude the
cooling air which a merciful Providence
has sent to them
So intense was the heat, so serious its
consequences. that it was borne with for
titude and almost without complaint by
men, women and children, even, in the
different walks of life.
The demands on certain industries,
such as laundries, ice plants and milk
depots, speeded up the workers beyond
their normal output and nowhere did any
one suffer through the cessation of acti-
vities on account of lack of people to face
The situation and put their shoulders to
the wheel.
Every one deserves little praise for
his manly courage in the face Of such a
torturing handicap. but there is no doubt
that some deserve more respectful ap-
probation than do others.
Battles with guns and bayonets are not
the only battles fought.
While giving all credit to the soldier
who marches forth to the 6fe and drum
