IMMENSE COST OF BAD ROADS
Farmers Allow ssoo,ooo,ooo to Escape
Each Year Because OF Poor and
..,. Unlmprovsd Highways.

The farmers of the United Statea
have been allowed $300.000,OO0 In real
money to escape from their pockets
each year because of poor roads, ac-
cording to the testimony of experts
who made a survey of the effect OF
bad roads upon markets for the de-
partment Of agriculture. Just when
the farmer has the opportunity to mar
ket his crops at top prices, bad wealth
er closes the roads 70 heavy hauling

To the loss of the farmers must be
added an economic loss equally large
suffered by the nation. If the rural
roads could be used for traffic the year

than half a billion dollars. This Is q
typical bad-road blockade which exists

Heroic Efforts. Facing Multitudes Of
Obstacles IN Service 70 Allied Ma
tIons, Add TO War History.

A recent summary Of the work
done by women physicians for the
allied nations makes it very clear
that a most significant chapter Of
the medical history Of the war has
been made through their heroic eff
forts. England and the United
States are the two countries with a
notable proportion of women in the
medical profession. At the begin
ming of the war, as the British Medi-
cal Journal notes, their services were
not needed in England, so many OF
them devoted themselves to the cry
ing needs of Belgium, Serbia and
France, with magnificent results.
The example of their unstinted
heroism under conditions where
there was no publicity to stimulate,
no applause to encourage and just
high sense of duty to support in
some of the most deterrent tasks, is
worthy of enduring record. Viru-
lent typhus to be fought, other Sc
we're infections to be guarded against,
vermin often in luxuriant multiple
cation to be eliminated, while shar-
ing bare sustenance with starving
people; these, with the lack of bath
ing facilities, are the monotonous
entries in many a woman physicians
diary during the first years of the
war.

to note that the principles emphasized
In this report as essential to the sue
cess Of convict road work are the same
as those the committee has consid-
cred imperative. These principles are
that when county convicts are to be
employed on the roads they should be
turned over to the state convict road
force, all convict road work being I'M
der state control.
The second principle is that there
should be coordination between the
state prison and the state highway de-
partments in regard to convict road
work. The prison department should
select the prisoners for this work, and
make all rules regarding their care
and discipline. This department should
also supervise the carrying out of
these rules. The highway department
should have full charge of all road
operations, and be responsible for car
rying out the rules and regulations
made by the prison department.
The report takes up in detail the Sc
lection of camp officers, and the keep
Ing of records and accounts, includ-
ing suggestions for order slips and
vouchers.
Other features of the report which
will be specially valuable to authori-
ties carrying on convict road work
deal with the location of camp site,
water supply, camp sanitation, quar-
tiers and structures, health conditions
and care of the sick and injured, cloth
ing and rations. All are discussed sci
entifcally and practical suggestions
are made which can be followed out
In any part Of the country.
The department of agriculture has
rendered service to prison and road
authorities, while private citizens have
now available standards by which to
Judge the convict camps In their vicin-
lty. The year 1917 should be record
one for convict road work If local au-
thorities use to good advantage the as
sistance afforded them by the depart
ment of agriculture through the office
Of public roads and rural engineering.

RABBI DIES AT AGE OF l1a
Observance Of Mosaic Standards Of
Living Preserved the Health Of
Barnett WoIinsISl.

The Brownsville district of Brook
Ign loses striking personality in
the death of Rabbi Barnett Violin
ski, says the Brooklyn Eagle. Forty
yearssa resident Of the United
States, this man spoke fluent Eng
lish, but was perhaps more at home
in using the Russian or the Hebrew.
He smoked freely, but never used al
cohol. His longevity may perhaps
have been exaggerated. He was said
to be one hundred and thirteen years
old. On his one hundred and sec
ond birthday Theodore Roosevelt
sent him kindly personal letter
with present of certain coins hav-
ing the date of his supposed birth.
Five generations of descendants
numbering 118 in all, mourn the
rabbits death. He had never been
sick, and never confined to his bed
except on one occasion, 35 years ago,
when he was knocked down by
truck.
Strict attention to Mosaic stand
ards of living, a thoughtful, tenn
perate life, and much of human
kindliness helped to make his days
long in this land.
