FEASIBLE WIDTH OF ROADS
First Deputy Highway Commissioner
OF New York Tells Of Troubles
Encountered by Him.

Most Of the roads built in New York
by the state are 16 feet wide. When
money was voted for the highway sys-
tenn 1t was on the basis Of approx.
mately $4,000 per mile. This was in
1912, and $4,000 was a low figure
even for that date. Under present
conditions it is obviously impossible
to complete the system as planned
then, and extra width Is q serious e1-
'tpense. n. Eltinge Breed, first deputy
highway commissioner Of New York,
recently stated that only by the strict
est economy, by substituting different
classes ct pavement wtthia~ceftain Him.
its Of cost, and by using federal aid,
will it be practicable to have all the
important roads brought together into
q good highway system. It would be
far better, he says, if there were suff-
cient funds to build them IS feet wide
for two lines Of traffic and "a feet for
three lines. The use Of motor We
hic1es is steadily increasing and they
are being constructed wider. Hence
they require pavements where vehicles
at least 80 inches wide q pass one
another comfortably and frequently.
Eighteen feet is probably the narrow
est width that permits this, according
to Mr.. Breed. Especially is this true,
he says, in the case of concrete roads,
because the transition from the hard
concrete surface to the earth shoulder
and back again becomes really danger
GUS in some soils on account of the
rut that traffic usually wears along the
joining line.

to the city to seek his fortune. No
word of love had passed between them,
but they had mutually shared q COM
partnership that had made Of half a
dozen brief weeks in their lives a
period Of delight for both.
81 expect to make something Of my
self in the city," Leslie had told Meta
at parting. 81 expect to return at the
end Of & year. I hope you will think
of me once in q while" and an earnest
glance In return for his own made him
believe that he would be welcome on
his return.
In his heart was the full ardor Of
love. To his lips there almost came
the words that Meta would have been
glad to hear. They were repressed,
however. Meta lived w~retchedly with
her old uncle, who vas poor. Meta
had many suitors. Dayton had moth
ing but his hopes. He was in no po-
sition to marry. He determined to
make mis- way in the world. Then he
would return and ask Meta to become
his wife, able also to care for the help
less relative whom Meta would not
desert.
And now he had come back-alas !!
what q sad return of the wanderer,
for he had brought with him neither
money nor promise, nor prospect for
the future. He had invested the few
hundred dollars he had In q little bust
ness with a partner who had not only
robbed him, but had defrauded their
creditors. Then he had decamped,
leaving Dayton to bear the burden of
the hour, accused Of fraud, almost
threatened with prosecution, a pauper.
After that there was no place for
him amid the sneers and suspicious
of the community that ruthlessly de-
graded an innocent man. Like a thief
in the night Leslie stole back to the
little town that held the only woman
he loved. He met an old friend secret
ly, who fed his half-famished soul with
news Of Meta. The Deanes were as
poor as ever. Meta was the sole sup
port Of the house. An invalid, a Wild

There was q flash at the open win
dow, a sharp, snappy report, and the
man who was lurking in the shadow
of a high lilac bush turned and raj
like q whitehead.
"Oh, uncle! ' exclaimed Meta Deane,

window.
She uttered q sudden but half-sup-

lips quivered. In one corner Of the
handkerchief two initials were inter-
woven: 81. D." And we'll she knew
they stood for Leslie Dayton, and
surer still, for her own busy hands had
six months previous embroidered those
initials on half-a-dozen handkerchiefs
presented to Leslie Dayton on his
twenty-second birthday.
Her breath came fast, she thought
rapidly. The sequence to her discov-
cry was patent. Leslie Dayton was
the prowler who had escaped the
craftsmanship of her suspicious-mind-
ed, excitable uncle.
Then the tears rushed to her eyes.
In retrospection she went over the
weary months since Dayton had gone

A Tribute.

When Julia Ward Howe died me-
mortal services in her honor were held
at San Francisco, and the local liter
ary colony attended practically en-
masse to pay by their presence a
tribute to the writer.
A municipal officer was asked to pre-
side. Dressed in his long frock coat
and his broad white tie, he advanced
to the edge Of the platform to launch
the exercises and introduce the prin-
cipal e%ulogist. He bowed low and
spoke as follows:
"Your attendance here, ladies and

I'd OF such as are suitable for planting.
The government should next ascertain
from the owners whether they would
agree to use the lands or any part OF
them, and then take over temporarily
the best parts Of such unused ground
and use it for the kind Of planting that
Will give the best results.
It is highly desirable that this be
done IN a large, business-like way
which the government could do by
getting the right machinery and en-
ploying the necessary help. and also
providing for necessary transporta-
ton facilities. Should it be impossible
to get the needed labor on a volunteer
or paid basis. prisoners might be used
for part of the work. If all this fails
to supply the needed help. then such
available labor as Is suitable might be
conscripted the same as We do now
for the army and navy. taking how
ever. only persons not fit for military
service
To make a complete and thorough
survey of the country's resources and
then have competent supervision and
direction by those who are able TO
get results on a large scale is the
most important thing to achieve. 1
believe that by doing this we could
increase the production of foodstufs
in very large proportion. so that there
would be enough for this country and
for our allies. The present method OF
encouraging promiscuous planting.
while helpful, is far from solving the
problem. which. / believe, could be
done II we proceed in the way above
outlined. Yours truly,
