Boston Latest Metropolis To
Use the Topeka Formula.

Topeka gets credit for great many
things in the outside world besides
being a hotbed of prohlb1tlon ana
freak laws, altho many local residents
seem not to know it. Residents OF
every city in the country should
shower bouquets on the capital OF
Kansas for busting a trust and
plucking asphaltic concrete paving
prices down from the sky lines. Con-
tractors know Topeka did this very
thing. Few others do
Time and again one reads in the
metropolitan dailies an article about
city council awarding large paving
contracts and specifying the use OF
Topeka mixture, or specifications.
Here's a clipping from a Boston
paper:
Another large paving cnotract was
signed at the city hall today, inVolv-
ing an expenditure of S45,99T-O5 and
calling for the use of the Topeka mix
ture for the first time in Boston.
While the mayor is much opposed to
Topeka mixture, and at one time de-
clared that none of it would be laid
in Boston during his term of office, he
consented to the recommendation of
the commissioner after the latter had
reported satisfactory wearing qualities
of it i'll cities that he had visited
How Topeka Did 1t.
Around the preparation of the To
peka specifications for asphaltic con-
crete hinges an interesting story, as
told today by Commissioner w. G.
Tandy. For years asphaltic concrete
paving in cities was looked upon as a
luxury of the wealthy residents.
The discoveries of the mixture had
it patented and placed their own price
on the article. 1t was known as War
rem Bros bitulithic. Topeka wanted
some of that paving but couldn't af
ford it in any great quantities.
William Fulton was city engineer
then and with the assistance of Tandy
he began preparing a mixture of his
own, using to a great extent the same
materials as those found in bitulithic
only in different quantities. Later A
R. Young became city engineer and
he continued with the work. Finally
mixture suitable for such paving as
was desired was prepared. 1t brought
the cost of asphaltic concrete paving
down to $1.39 per square yard.
Famous Over Night.
The Topeka mixture became famous
among contractors over night, so to
speak. 1t also became mighty in
famous and unpopular with the btu
lithic people. They brought suit
against Topeka for infringing on their
patent They lost their suit
The Topeka mixture is now in use
in every city in the country. 1t was

Teeth Grittino a Symptom,

When children grit their teeth. either

lis generally sign that they have

and need the attention of a physician.
DR.. c. E. Benjamins tells in journal
of Amsterdam of his experience with
1,544 cases of adenoids, i'm which about
81 per cent of the children were teeth
critters, and i'm most of the cases the
gritting ceased when the adenOids
were removed. Among 115 teeth grit
ters he examined for troubles other
than adenoids all but two were found
to have adenOids.

HARD WORK FOR CUPID.
Roumarian Farmers Try to Keep Their
Sons From Wedlock.

The ROumanian farmer doesn't think
much OF matrimony. A bachelor hasn't
missed much, i'm his opinion. And
when his son gets the marrying bee
buzzing in his bosom the Roumania
dad is apt to take hickory club and
beat it out of the young mans system.
That's why the ROumanian youth
when he is in love never cOnfides the
happy secret to his father. He goes
and tells his mother, for women still
believe in love and marriage, although
they lead from the altar to the wash
tub. But the father has faced the mule
heels and the plow handles so long in
his hard struggle to feed the hungry
mouths opened to him by marriage
that he has forgotten he was once
lover signing lovers tales He is about
as much i'm favor of state wide matri-
mOny as a sick boy is i'm favor Of cas-
tor oil.
So the son tells his mother The
mother feeds father the best dinner
she can cook. and when the old man
is i'm a mellow mood she breaks the
sad news about their boy. If she is
skillful enough she wins his grOuchy
consent, and he calls in his two best
men friends. These two go with his
son to the girls home. Perhaps she
has heard nothing of the love affair.
but when she sees them coming she
guesses what's up. Her father enter

WEDDING RINGS.
Their Descent From the Ancient Sig.
net Rings Of Egypt.

Their Descent From the Ancient Sig.
net Rings of Egypt.
1t was under the shadow of the pyra-
mids that brides first wore rings as
symbols of wedlOck.
In the early Egyptian home it was
the custom of the wife to keep all of
her jars, closets and stOreroOms sealed.
A different seal ordinarily was used
for every door or jars containing GER
tain foods. Preserved sweets, for in
stance, would be sealed with one de-
vice and some sharp appetizer with
another. So the course of time brought
the Egyptian woman a gOodly number
of seals, the special mark of her wife
hood
Then it became a custom for the
bridegroom On his wedding day to
present the future hOmemaker with
little string Of seals. In the beginning
they usually were suspended from an
ornamental chain about her neck, but
afterward it became the custom to car
ry the keys on an ornamental cord
around the wrist. And finally the keys
were attached to a woman's finger by
means Of cord or gold wire. This
naturally meant reduction i'm the num-
Der of seals, and some genius of the
days of old hit upon the idea of COM
bining the seal and the wire together
from which we get the signet ring
Such ring was regularly presented to
the bride Oh her wedding day.
Things had reached this state of
progress when keys seem to have been
first used in Egypt to any great extent
The coming of locks did away with the
wifely seals and her peculiar mark Of
sovereignty in the home. By degrees
the signet ring went out of fashion as
the special prerogative of the bride
and was succeeded by plain band
ring such as every young lady of today
expects to wear. Numbers of these
plain and signet rings have been found
i'm the old tombs of northern Africa.

and gone.
