THE RUsINEssLIKE WAY

II N irrigating land an essen
~ tial to success is that there
be a sufficient head of
water to get over the land and
do some good. If trifling
stream of water is turned into
a ditch it will be wasted and
accomplish nothing.
The same principle applies
in road work. If roads are
built through use of currem
funds and that money must be
distributed all over the state
the work will necessarily have
to be conducted on a piece
meal basis. No important pro-
ject can be carried cut and the
little bits of work undertaken
here and there will largely be
wasted.
Through the bonding plan
enough money can be made
available to undertake import
ant construction and accomp-
lish something permanent and
worth while. At the same time
the pro rata cost of c0nstruc-
ton is made lower. This saw
ing plus the saving in machines
and tires and hauling expens-
es due to surfaced roads will
more than compensate for the
of interest on the
ponds.

\ GREAT WAR MEASURE

~HE Shipping Boards
VI plan for the expenditure
of $1,000. eco. 900 in con-
Structing steel and wooden
ships to meet the submarine
menace is a war measure of
first Importance.
1t is possible that American
inventors will yet discover a
scientific solution of the SUBJ
marine problem. but they have
not yet done SO. however much
progress they have made in
that direction. The issue is so
serious that the country can
afford to leave nothing to
chance.
Whatever inventive genius
may eventually accomplish,
we know already that the sub
marine danger in its more cri-
teal aspects can be overcome
by building cargo ships faster
than q boats can destroy them
This may be a clumsy and ex-
pensive method. but it is the
best there is now, and it can
be abandoned or modified
whenever more effective
means are found.
The boards programme in
wolves the construction of s.
100000 or 100000 tons of
shipping during the next two
years and the mobilization of
all the ship-building facilities
of the country to that end.
The war may not last two
years. yet it may last longer.
The only safe course to take
is the one the board has ac-
opted. If the war is over
sooner, so much the better, but
in all its preparations it is the
duty of the government to as
sumo that the United States is
confronted with at least two
years of warfare.
There is no other work AT
this time which demands SO
much energy and driving force
as the construction of these
ships. Upon them may de-
pend the outcome of the war.
With all the steel and timber
resources of the country to
draw on, the boards plans can
be carried out if congress pro-
vides the money, and about
that there should be no ques-
ton.
This is not only a war mea-
sure but a peace measure, for
when hostilities cease we shall
have the ships that are left for
mercantile marine that will
be absolutely necessary for the
use of American trade and
commerce. A billion dollars
for cargo ships may seem like
q staggering sum of money to
congress, but in the end it will
turn out to be one of the
cheapest investments that the
United States ever made
New York World.

Another man has been uncovered

weight champions career.
The latest>claimant to this honor Is
L. E. Doxtator, a Cherokee Indian,
who Is at present a first-class fireman

tor, who is a graduate OF Carlisle,
and who is something of a football
player, was a cowpuncher with WI

whereat he proceeded to paste the

that Jess decided he had had enough
inside of a few minutes.

licked Jess in the long ago grows

Had the Royals been able to roll
duckpins as well in their first game
against the westons in the District
League last night as in their last
two, new District record for high
set would have resulted.
Getting under way with 49s, the

an 800 mark for three games will be
reached finally.

Earl Lewis was high man in the
matchaand also gained general honors
on the alleys for last night rolling.
His set amounted to 35S, including
games of 30, 100, and 13s. The Royals
won two games.
1t fell to the lot of Hogan. of the
Columbias, in the Brunswick League,
to roll the biggest single game. He
hit the naples for 145 in his second
trial, but spoiled his set with a poor
start.

During their long run of victories
the Royals gave undoubtedly the
most remarkable continuous exhibi-

string covered nine full sets, the

streak, and the first game OF another,

The Royals rolled thirty straight
games of better than $50, starting
with a game of 541, which preceded

streak.
Carroll gave the most brilliant
single performance. He got the best
game and set, IA, and 1856, and his

To Harry F. Krauss, more than TO
any other individual, credit is due fo-
the remarkable winning streak II
the Royal duckpin team, OF the Ma
tional Capital League, which was
stopped by Palace, Wednesday, after
a mark of twenty-nine straight vic
tories had been reached.
A glance over the records kept by
Roy K. whitford, secretary of the
league, shows that the ever-reliable
anchor man led his team in average
with a figure around ia.
He maintained the same smooth,
steady gait which has characterized
his rolling from the time when he
became known here as a bowler OF
top-notch ability, which was some
years ago, and at no time during the
string OF victories was he sensa-
tional. On the other hand, the rec
ords shows that the Flying Dutch
man" never failed to deliver in the
pinch. His best game was 1S5, and
his most pretentious set only 259,
which is indicative of his unusual
consistency.
