Rose From the eriekxard.

DR.. Frederick A. Hall. newly ap-
pointed chancellor OF Washington uni
versity, rose to the academic head Of
the institution after the manner which
has marked many successful careers
in this country. Where other men
overcame difficulties OF humble birth
and circumstance and rose to high po-
sitions in the business world. he has
done the same thing in the scholastic
world.
He started work in brickyard. bat

through that became the head of
Washington university. AT the age Of
twelve he started out to paddle his
own canoe and three years later moved
from New Jersey to Illinois. where he
worked on a farm. The struggle was

ing. In order to expand on freezing,
these materials must contain or be
mixed with water, and the more water
they contain the greater the expan-
sion which takes place But so long
as the road remains frozen, the dam
age does not become apparent Hence
the frequent and erroneous idea that it
is the thaw which Injuries the road.
The injury was done when the water
in the road froze and the particles Of
the road surface-brOken stone, sand,
still fine particles OF earth or clay
weEe pushed apart by the expanding
power of the freezing water. The
thaw merely allows the ice TO melt and
assume its original volume as water.
The remedy is self-evident. Keep
the water out of the road The time
to begin preventive measures is before
the rains begin. If the road goes into
the winter thoroughly dry with the sur
face and drainage in good condition,
the chances are extremely favorable
that it will come out all right the fol-
lowing spring.

EXCESS WATER HURTS ROADS
Cold Weather Does Not Cause Injury.
No Matter Whether Road Is
Earth, Gravel of Macadsm.

Water, not cold, is the cause OF the
deterioration of roads in winter. Cold
weather does not in itself injure roads
no matter whether they are earth,
gravel or macadam. In fact an earth
road will stand more traffic when it is
solldly frozen than at any other time.
Excess water, however, is always de-
trimental to a highway. When cold
weather turns this water into ice, the
damage that it does is greatly in
creased. Ice occupies considerably
more space than the water from which
it is formed, and every person who
has lived in a cold climate is familiar
with the powerful bursting effect of
water when left to freeze in a con-
fined vessel. The same action takes
place when a wet road freezes TO any
considerable depth It simply bursts
or, as we generally term it in road
parlance, the road heaveS. Later, when
the frost leaves, the road is disinter-
grated and ruts badly. If this process
is repeated a number Of times during
the winter, a gravel or macadam road
may be practically destroyed while an
earth road may become entirely i'm
passable.
A dry road will not heave. Rock,
gravel, sand and even clay when per-
fectly dry contract slightly on freez-

PsyehicaI Research at Harvard.

Provision has been made in the de-
partment Of psychology at Harvard for
the investigation OF such "superusual"
phenomena as may seem to belong to
mental science. In other words,
psychical research may be undertaken.
Work has begun by testing the tele-
pathic sensitiveness of people in gen.
era1. This leads the Unpopular Maza-
zine to say: "It is hoped that in time
they will investigate it In people show
ing signs of possessing it. Perhaps,
however, as tests improve, they may
find that everybody possesses it in
some degree just as Sir William
Crookes satisfied himself in his labor
atory that everybody possesses tele-
kinetic power in some degree. OF
course instruments for measuring
either can hardly be said yet to exist,
though Sir Williams tests had some
cumulative features"

ONLY 50 BILLS HAVE PASSED
Out of Grand Total of 1877 Bills
introduced, SIS Have Been
Killed.

Topeka--In six weeks of work the
Kansas legislature has passed fifty
three bills and killed 58S out of a toal
Of 1,577 introduced, according to q. re-
sumo Of the session compiled here. 1t
was pointed out that in the fifty-three
measures passed by both houses there
are few important acts and many ad-
ministration bills are yet to be acted
upon finally. Leaders of both houses
are hopeful for an adjournment not
later than March 10.
Only two of the big measures got
through during the week-a city man.
ager bill and a good roads bill. The
house passed the state manager bill
but 1t has not come up for considera-
ton in the senate. The house Will
likely pass the receivership bill.
Both houses have passed many
have encountered rough travel when
they reached the opposite end of the
hall A majority of these bills are
either held in committees or are being
deferred in the deliberations of the
law makers.
A total Of 81 bills, however, is
out on the house and senate calendars
under general orders. 1t is quite GER
tain, though, that the next week will
see the appointment of revision COM
mittees in both houses. That means
that numerous bills that found their
way through the committee rooms
will die on the calendars when final
adjournment is declared.
Each day the desire OF the rural
members to go home increases. New
members who are digging up real
money from the family till to meet
meal ticket deficits after So a day
is gone, are willing to quit almost
any time.
House committees have performed
noble service in the trenches during
| the last few weeks. From an offering Of
S79 bills, they have to date slaughtered
347. 1t is estimated that so per cent
of the bills now in the committees will
| fail to find place on the calendars
during the present session. In the SEN
ate 220 of the 698 bills have failed
to survive a trip to the committee
rooms.

GOOD ROADS BILLS
THROUGH SENATE
Three important Highway Meas
ureS We're Passed in One
Day Recently.
STATE COMMISSION CREATED
Both Houses Have Passed This Meas
ure-Another Bill is Aimed at
Bridge Trust.

TOpeka.-The Kansas senate pass
ed three important road measures
the other day. ne was the house bill
creating a state highway commission.
Another bill put an end to the bridge
manipuiations in the counties, and the
third will put more of the motor car
license fund into the good roads work
Of the state. The senate spe~+ prac-
ticaIly the entire day working on good
RAIDS measures.
The house had already passed the
Highway Commission bill, and it may
become a law within a short time.
The bill creates a commission Of two
members without salaries, who, with
the governor. will select engineers to
make the plans for roads and bridges
in the state, and these engineers will
have general supervision of all the
road and bridge work. Senator Getty
made a violent attack on the bill and
voted against it.
The bridge bill gives the highway
commission authority over the plan for
bridges, and also some supervisory
power, and prohibits the schemes used
so many years to prevent competition
in bridge building. All contracts have
to be made in open competition under
this law.
The Motor Car License bill provides
for the same registration fee as at
present, but only so cents is to go to
the state to pay for the administra
ton of the law. The rest of the lie
ense fee of So is divided between the
counties and the townships where the
motor cars are owned and is to be
used in dragging and maintaining the
