there is fun to give others. No one

"Tm so glad you explained it to me-"

The Glowworms came hopping and

''That is glorious" said the fairies.

must be founded, according TO George
G.. Diehl, chairman of the good roads
board of the American Automobile
association. He points out hat it is
the function of a road to carry traf-
fc and that it should do so as cheaply
as possible.
"Cheaply" does not mean in the
cost Of building and maintaining the
road, but the relation of the total ex-
pense to the total vehicle tonnage car
ried, which is the road cost to carry
a ton a mile, or the ton-mile cost.
"In order to arrive at the ten-mile
cost" says Diehl, 1T is essential, first,
to have the total cost of construction
and maintenance; next. to have the
mount of traffic tonnage. The first
cost must be the result of a properly
kept system Of records, and the total
cost Of maintenance and construction
must equal the total outlay made by

the highway department, as this is the
only method possible to avoid omis-
sion of important items.
THE amount of traffic must be OBJ
tanned by traffic census. This should
be divided between passenger and
commercial vehicles and also between
motor-driven and hOrse-drawn vehi-
cles.
In New York state, where every
five or six miles of improved highway
is under the control of a p%atrolman, it
would be comparatively easy to OBJ
tain such traffic census, as the patrol
man could have a certain day each
month to make a count of these vehi-
cles, at comparatively no expense to
the state.

FIRE MARSHAL WARNS

A warning for stores, churches and
bazaars:
Holiday fires in these while filled
with people are usually h%olocausts.
Light, inhammable decorations
make fires easy to start and easy TO
spread. A match, a gas flame or an
electrical defect may do it.
Watch gas jets, Decorations may
be carried against them by air cur
rents.
Watch smokers, Do not perm
them to light cigars inside building
Every fire that destroys mercantile
stock at this time reduces the man
power 0 fthe nation. Make a Christ
mas present of service to your coun-
try. Guard her created sources. Be
careful.
Warnings for the Home
Every year in America many CHI
dren are burned to death by fire from
Christmas candles.
A house of merriment is better
than a house of mourning.
Do not decorate your Christmas
tree with paper. cotton or any other
infammable material. Use metallic
tinsel and other non-infammable dec
orations only. and set the tree secure
ly so that the children in reaching
for things cannot tip 1t over.
Do not use cotton to represent snow.
If YOU must have snow use powdered
mica or asbestos fibre
Do not permit children TO light or
relight the candles while parents are
not present. They frequently set fire
to their clothing instead Electrical
illumination is safer.
Do not leave matches within reach
OF children at holiday time. Candies
are meant to be lighted. and if the
children can get matches they will
experiment with them. They initiate
their elders.
Do not allow trees to remain inside
buildings after the holidays. The tree

BASIS FOR ROAD SELECTION

When a city or county or state de-
cides that it is time to build new
roads it is not the amount of money
in the treasury and the mileage that
should determine the type Of road, but
the amount it will cost to move a ton
a mile over the road.
That is the fundamental basis on

CANAL TO BE REOPENED
FOR NAVIGATION APRIL s
Boats Expected to Arrive With Coal
Five Days Later-Expect
to Adjust Rates.

Unless something unforeseen should oc-
cur, the Chesapeake and Ohio canal which
connects the Cumberland coal JialdS with
Washington, will open for navigation
April and five days from that date the
coal-aden boats are expected to begin AZ
riving here. The coming in Of the coal
from the Cumberland mines viii do much
toward relieving the shortage in the coal
supply here. AS many hundreds OF tous
can be brought into the city each week
over the canal
There seems TO be no doubt that the
trouble over the wage question between
the boa tmen and the company viii he
adjusted to the satisfaction Of all con-
cerned and that there will be no inter
ruptlon in the movement Of the boats.
General Manager Nicholson OF the canal
company today sent out letters TO the
boatmen, containing proposals which, he
believes, viii satisfy their demands and
will insure the prompt loading of The
boats for this city. The men are demand

land TO this city, and recently 40 cents q

much of the difference between the boat
men and the company.
Since the close of the last boating sea-
son the canal has been given IL thorough
oyerhau uling. Locks have been repaired
banks strengthened and the aoueduct at
Antietam, Md, which was badly damaged
by the recent high water in the river, is
being rebuilt.

vantages of Arizona.

After unanimously adopting fesolu :

fairs and piedGing him their support,
the Cambr Society of Washington.
composed of Welsh-Americans, listened
to an address at Typographical Temple
last night by W. Ward Davies, immi-
grafton commissioner of Pinal county.
Ariz.. in which he told of the wonder
full agricultural advantages of the
Casa Grande valley. Mr.. Davies is a
lsh-American, having come to this
country about ten years ago.
He is on a tour throughout the
United States to interest people in
the Casa Grande valley country and to
get them to take up their residence
there. Already several Washington
families have made arrangements to ac-
quire farms in Pinal county, Mr.. Davies
told his audience.
There are about 100000 acres of the
finest farm land in the valley, the
speaker said, but there are not enough
farmers to work it properly. He gave
statistics showing the bumper crops
the valley is producing, climatic ad-
cost of the land. Mr.. Davies advised
against acquiring large farms, saying
that forty and eighty acre tracts are
sufficient for the average man, when
consideration is given to the fact that
eight crops of alfalfa a year are obtain
ed in the Casa Grande valley.
At the close of his remarks short ad-
dresses were made by D. E. Roberts of
Baltimore and Rev. j. r. Esaias.
