REGULAR ARMY 10000.
Military Committee Of House Cnani-
nous in Agreeing on Bill.

Washington, March 2.-Final de-
cision was reached by the house mill
tary committee late today upon it's
bill for the increase of the army, and
it will be reported unanimously to
the house early next week. In round
figures, the measure would authorize
the formation of an army composed
of regulars, National Guardsmen
and federal volunteers with a total
peace strength of approximately
100000 men.
1t provides for maximum
strength of 10000 fighting troops
for the regular army, for a minimum
of 425,000 for the National Guard
within five years and for organiza-
ton of federal volunteers through
an extension of the summer training
camp idea. It is estimated that 100,-
600 men can be enrolled in the lat
ter force.
Industrial Reserves.
The bill retains provision for or
ganization of industrial and technical
reserves and authorizes the creation
of a. board of officers to control an
industrial mobilization in time of
war or imminence of war. 1t also
provides that manufacturers of war
materials must give immediate pref
erence to government orders in war
time, or when there is danger of war,
under heavy penalty for failure to
do so.
While the minimum strength of
the regular army remained at 14O,-
900; a change was made before the
final vote to fix the maximum OF
fighting troops at 10000, bringing
the total authorized strength of the
regular force, including the hospital
corps and other non-combataht
troops, to 100000.
May Support Amendments.
Although all members of the COM
mittee will sign the bill, they do so
made the reservation that they may
support upon the floor of the house
any amendment they desire.
The senate military committee ex-
poets to vote finally upon its army
bill tomorrow, and it is possible the
first of the preparedness measures
urged by President Wilson will be
placed before both houses of con-
gress Saturday. Arrangements to
expedite their consideration already
have been made.
The house committee inserted on
ly general provision for a govern
ment plant to make nitric acid, leav-
ing details to be worked out later in
an appropriation measure.

Billions of NematOdes.

The number of nematodes, the
round worms and threadworms, has
been lately shown to be astoundingly
great. DR.. N. A. Cobb estimates that
there must be thousands of millions
per acre in the upper foot of an
arabic soil; and that the species
must reach hundreds of thousands,
more than nine-tenths Of them un-
known. At least $4,000 species are
parasites of vertebrates alone. Other
animal groups, such as insects, mol
lusks and crustaceans, have like par
asites, and usually one species of
worm infects only one species of host.
The parasitic species, moreover, are
enormously outnumbered by the
species living free in soil and water.

CHANGE TO SAVE Cash
Alleys May BE Paved With Cheaper
Material Next Year.

The increase in the number of auto
mobiles in Topeka has made necessary
the paving of numerous alleys in the
residential districts and some kind of
cheaper paving is required according
TO W. G. Tandy, commissioner of
streets and alleys This year the
petitioners for alley paving will be per-
mitted to petition for concrete paving
which will cut the cost almost in half.
'All over the city people are asking
for paving i'm the alleys" said Com
missioner Tandy today THE auto
mobiles are responsible for it. In some
of the alleys there is scarcely any traf-
fic except an occasional load of coal
and the incoming and outgoing Of au-
tomobiles kept in garages on the al
leys. Heavy and expensive paving is
not needed in such alleys and I will
favor this year giving the property
owners a chance to use cheaper paw
ing.
we could put down concrete paving
for about 90 cents a yard. as against
SLIGO a yard for most ordinary alley
paving. A cut of that kind would
mean a big reduction in all the alley
this year. I believe it would give just
as good service in such alleys as a
more expensive paving"
The paving Mr.. Tandy has in mind
would be something like a street be-
fore the asphaltic covering is put on,
except that it would be smoother. Mr.
Tandy stated that instead of using the
soft crushed rock now used the city
would specify hard chat and that the
surface would be smoothed over in
stead of being left rough. The con-
crete for an asphalt cover is left
rough in order to give the asphalt a
chance to take hold.

HE'S HAD ENOUGH
No More Macadam Inside City
Limits-W. G. Tandy.
City Repair Department Load
ed Down With Work.

There will be no more rock or ma
cadam roads built inside the city lin
its with the consent or approval of
W c. Tandy. commissioner of streets
and alleys. His experience with that
kind of street paving last winter ana
this winter has convinced him that IL
will not stand heavy traffic and that
it goes to pieces under changing
weather conditions.
The whole street repair depart
ment is deluged now with orders TO-
repairs on the small stretches of ma
cadam inside the city. St. John street
in North Topeka is a wreck 1t was
the pride of the people in that section
of the city last fall.
After we finished the repairs on it
last fall" said Tandy today people
said to me that that was the kim of
a road to build; that when work was
done like that it was bound to last.
I expressed the hope at the time that
it would last and I did expect it to
last longer than it has. But it is a
wreck now. The work must be done
all over again if it is to be travelled
this summer"
In the opinion of Mr. Tandy brick
paving gives the best results for the
investment in Topeka. However, he
stated that he did not mean by that
that brick is the best paving in every
locality.
"close to a brick supply where we do
not have to pay an enormous price
because of freight rates, l believe
brick gives the best service for the
money. I don't insist upon brick
when petitioners want something else
bat on streets where there is heavy
traffic it is the best and cheapest
paving we can put down"
Mr.. Tandy is so strong a believer
in brick that he states it would pay
Il
than ma cadam.
Not for Kansas.
'Macadam is all right for some
parts of the country" he said, but
not for Kansas. There is too much
change in temperature, too much ice
and snow. The rock road between
Topeka and Silver Lake goes to pieces
every winter and it is necessary to
spend a lot of money on it for re-
pairs.
ITO build a brick road the regula-
ton width for country roads would
cost in the neighborhood of $1,000 d
mile and it would be as near a per-
manent road as we have in these days.
People in the country think that price
is terrific although the price would
be paid by every one within a mile of
the road. Here in Topeka property
owners pay several times that price
aor a piece of paving and the cost is
borne by those living within half
block of the paving"
The macadam and rock road con-
struction will be kept in repair by
Mr.. Tandy's department because it il
necessary. not because he thinks any
thing of that kind of road bed. There
are several stretches of it inside the
city limits. one is on St. John street
In North Topeka. another stretch
through Little Russia, one on east
Tenth street opposite the cemetery,
one on East Sixth street and one east
of the fair grounds. They are all in
bad shape and must undergo extern
sive repairs this spring.
