ROAD : BUILDING
KEEPING UP IMPROVED ROADS
Ample Provision for Maintenance ! Should Be Part of Highway Sys-
 tenl-Task Often Neglected.

(From the United States Department of
 Agriculture.)
 Keeping good roads is the most important task in connection with an improved highway system, once the construction work is completed. In the United States in the past this task usually has been neglected, the. tm- proved roads in many instances being allowed to deteriorate until they be- came almost impossible, when they were, at heavy cost, rebuilt. That states and counties are now coming to recognize the need of careful and thoroughgoing maintenance, however, Is indicated by studies of county road systems in different sections of the country recently made by the office of public roads and rural engineering of the department.
 While some of the eight counties in which intensive studies were made were found to have no provisions for maintenance and others were found to pay for upkeep of the roads out of bond-issue funds, thus creating debt that would outlive the temporary im- provement for many years, two coun- ties in widely separated states were found in which maintenance conditions

with a shrewd glance to recognize a pulsating light of joy beneath a mask of interest and distress and flash of embarrassment.
 "I am intruding?" he suggested gravely, with slight turn as if offer ing to withdraw.
 "No."
 The word faltering on the lips of Mary Whitaker was lost in an em- phatic iteration by Whitaker.
 "Sit down!" he insisted. "As if we'd let you escape now, after you'd kept us here in suspense!"
 He offered a chair, but Ember first advanced to take the hand held out to him by the woman on the chaise- tongue.
 "You are feeling-more composedg' he inquired.
 Her gaze met his bravely. 'T am troubled. perhaps-but happy" she said.
 "Then am very glad" he said. smil- ing at the delicate color that enhanced her exquisite beauty as she made the confession. "I had hoped as much" He looked from the one to the other. You have made up your minds?"
 The wife answered for both: Ut Is settled, dear friend: can struggle no longer. thought myself strong woman: have tried to believe myself genius bound upon the wheel of an ill-starred destiny; but find I am'-- the glorious voice trembled slightly "only woman in love and no stronger than her love-"
 T am very glad" Ember repeated, flor both your sakes. It's a happy consummation of my dearest wishes"
 "We owe you everything" Whitaker said with feeling, dropping an awk- ward hand on the others shoulder. Tt was you who threw us together, down there on the Great West bay, so that we learned to know one another :"
 q plead guilty to that little plot yes" Ember laughed. "But, best of all, this comes at just the right time the rightest time, when there can no longer be any doubts or questions or misunderstanding, no ground for fur ther fears and apprehensions, when

and rose head the list. Then there may be added the spirea, carnation aquilegia, hollyhock, phlox, Christmas rose, lily of the valley, aehiTea, hy. drangea, honeysuckle, yucca, beside q multitude of dahlias and chrysanthe. nuns.
 Most of the plants are hardy and easily grown. Add to them the rich assortment of annuals like candytuft sweet alyssum, snap-dragon, aster, yer. bena, petunia, lobelia and larkspur and you have a stunning collection and one which has beauty all season.
 Suppose that it shades to the most delicate tinted sweet peas, dahlias and asters, thence to merge into rich pink.
 There is almost an endless variety of the pink border, many of the varieties mentioned above being equally eligible in this corner. To these may be added spirea, begonias and gladiolus.
 If red border is desired, more eau ton must be exercised, being careful that crimson and scarlet, both excel- lent iii themselves, do not combine. In fact, it might be as well to assign two different spots for these clashing eolors.
 Among the scarlet blossoms nothing is more beautiful than salvia, though there are geraniums, phlox and gladi. olus to keep it company. after the pro- cession of tulips, while q wealth of pe- tunias, hollyhecks and coleus may safe-s ly snafle across at the cannas and pop pies from the other side of the garden.
 Among the blue flowers there is a rich treat, from the time of the first scilia and hyacinth until the last aster has faded; for lavender and purple are so closely akin to true blue that it seems necessary to include them in the list.
 The platycodons. canterbury bells some of the violets, houstonia, lupine, iris, accnite, hardy larkspur, aquilegia, forget-me-nots and veronica are among the perennials suggested, while in an nuals there are ageratum, swan river daisy, bachelors button, pansy, linum and nemophila.
 Note the effect of the different spe- cies used and gradually weed out the undesirable forms and improve upon those found unsatisfactory. AS a feature of landscape gardening the plan has rich possibilities.
 Too much stress cannot be laid upon neatness in the garden. If faded flow CTS and fallen leaves are allowed to accumulate, the charm that should characterize it is gone, and no amount of bloom can make up for the lack of care which is thus made manifest.

BEAUTY OF THE HOME LOT
ByL. M. BENNINGTON.

If your lawn is larger than you can care for properly, Ilan to have 1t or suitable size next year. Seedlings cost but little, while plants are ex- pensive. Many beautiful things can be raised from a package of mixed seeds of perennials.
 Now is good time to plan changes in the border and the flower garden, as one realizes the mistake made last year in planting the tall growers lh front of the low ones; in grouping lli- matched plants and mixing inharmoni' ous colors. Keep a notebook and peh' ell in hand.
 In arranging the home lot, whether for fruit, shade or ornament, plant the tallest growers we'll to the rear, grau' ing down to the lowest, or creepihs things, letting the rows run east u west, that all may have the sunshihe.
 They can thus be seen to the pest advantage, and prove joy to the pe' holder.

SCHOOL CHILDREN's GARDEN

Apportion some little bit of land for the children in your neighborhood to have a garden.
 Vacant lots adjacent to schools are best for they are near enough for the children to spend their recess in and also the 20 or 30 minutes before and after school. Practical instruction should be given the children out-of- doors.
 By securing tte children's aid, per manent improvement in the physical condition of the neighborhood is as sured.
 Deficient and backward children in the big cities have found great delight in the school gardens and have proved themselves capable of understanding bow to plant and care for the crops. To this end, brighter future has been secured for children, who. by the benefcent healing of the great Mother Nature, have found a little niche they can adequately fill in the scheme of things, and instead of burden to the community they are becoming useful members of society.
 Secure a garden for the children in your neighborheod.

were practically all that could be de- sired. In Mississippi, it was found, there is state law requiring that special annual tax of at least one mill be levied for the upkeep of all roads constructed by means of bond issues, the fund to be kept separate from all other funds to be used for maintenance only. Instead of deterioration taking place on the roads of some of the counties in other states on which ex- aminations were made. it was found that in Lauderdale county, Mississippi, roads built several years ago and maintained from the special fund have actually improved since their compile tion.
 The county roads of Franklin county, New York, it was found, are main- tained with a contribution of 50 per cent by the state and under indirect state supervision. As a result of this system, the roads have been kept up to their condition on completion. While provisions for maintenance were on the whole not satisfactory in the coun- ties of the other states in which stud ies were made, this condition since has been remedied in Virginia by the pass age of state law providing that an an- nual tax of not less than three per cent of the amount of bonds issued shall be levied to provide maintenance fund for bond-built roads.
 The existence of a regulation tend ing to lessen damage to roads and so to reduce maintenance costs was re- vealed by the studies in Spotsylvania county, Virginia, where the county su- pervisors had passed an ordinance placing relatively low limit on loads that may be hauled in wagons fitted with narrow tires and considerably higher limit on loads for wide-tired wagons. AS a result, most of the wagons using the roads of the county have been fitted with tires ranging from three to six inches wide.

on the floor of the box. As this hap pened, he heard the voice of the fire arm, sharp and vicious-a single re- port.
 Unhurt. he picked himself up in time to catch a glimpse of Max, on the stage, momentarily helpless in the em- brace Of desperate and frantic wom- an who had caught his arms from be- hind and, presumably. had so defect ed his arm. In the same breath Elm Der, who had leaped to the railing round the box, threw himself across the footlights with the 1.-the certainty of beast of prey and, seemingly in as many delft motions. knocked the pistol from the managers hand, wrest- ed him from the arms of the actress, laid him fiat and knelt upon him.
 With q single bound Whitaker fol- lowed him to the stage; in another he had his wife in his arms and was soothing her first transports of semi hysterical terror.
 
 It was possibly quarter of an hour later when Ember paused before a door in the ground-floor dressing-room gangway of the Theater Max-a door distinguished by the initials IS. L." in the center of a golden star. With some hesitation, with even little dif1idence, he lifted a hand and knocked.
 At once the door was opened by the maid, Elise. Recognizing Ember, she smiled and stood aside, making way for him to enter the small, curtained lobby.
 ''Madam-and monsieur" she said with smiling significance, told me to show you in at once, Monsieur En- ber."
 From behind the curtains, Whtta- ker's voice lifted up impatientIy: 1: That you, old man? Come right in I"
 Nodding to the maid, Ember thrust aside the portieres and stepped into the brightly lighted dressing room, then paused, lowing and smiling his self-contained, tolerant smile: in ap- pearance as imperturbable and we'll groomed as though he had just escaped from the attentions of valet, rather than from a furious hand-to- hand tussle with a vicious monoma- niac.
 Mary Whitaker, as yet little pale and distrait, and still in costume, was reclining on chaise-longue. Whita- ker was standing close beside his wife i; his face the theater of conflicting emotions; Ember, at least, thought

ROAD CONSTRUCTION IS SLOW
Estimated That United States Spend. ing About $25o, ,ooo, ,ooo Annually
 on Improvements.

Road construction is bound to be slow because of its great cost. Fig ures show that the average cost of sand-clay roads in the United States is $700 mile, of gravel roads $2y00O, of macadam $5,0O0 and of asphalt macadam $10,000 mile.
 It has been estimated that the states are spending about $250O00,O00 year on roads, and the expenditure is in- creasing every year.
 Europe has great advantage over us, because the old countries have handed down to them the best kinds of roads for centuries.

 If the garden is bordered with flow CTS massing of blue or yellow in one corner and red in another will com pletely change the appearance of things. While white is excellent to break the colors, more pleasing effect IS secured by shading rather than end ing one abruptly.
 For several reasons it is best to have the white predominate. They will show off by night as well as by day. They are suitable for all occasions. Many of them are delightfully."- fragrant. They occur in great variety.

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once week invited an awful
death from lock jaw or blood poison
are now told by Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn. or callus the soreness is re-
1ieved and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, roo md all, lifts out with the fin
gers.
Freezone dries the moment it is ap-
piled and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any Of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid one s feet Of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn t any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you
