~That man, Miss Banks" said Lady
Sylvia, us our district governor, John
Garner. It Is a remarkable achieve
ment Of mine to have induced him to
come to my party. because he is a con-
frmed woman-hater."
Doris Banks surveyed Mr.. Garner
thoughtfully. She had never encoun-
tered the species IN her native Massa-
chusetts. She was accompanying her
father on his visit to Singapore, where
he had accepted charge Of big local
water works plant.
She was fascinated by the strange
sights, by the tropic life, the spectacle
Of the handful Of English men and
women living ever upon the crater Of
native disaffection.

THE A. & NJ. COLLEGE
PERMANENT ROAD
Engineer Morrison Comes to Defense
Of Contractors and Explains
Delays.
Editor Bryan Eagle,
Bryan. Texas.

Dear Sir:
Evidently the writer Of the editorial
in Thursdays Eagle does not fully
understand the situation in regard to
the College road. and | feel that this
misunderstanding has resulted in con-
siderable injustice to the contractors.
II is true that work on this road
has been practically at a standstill
since January 18th. but the reason
is that the frequently recurring rains
have kept the sub-grade so soft that
no satisfactory work could be done.
The intervals between rains have not
been long enough to dry out the road
so that II could be rolled without
driving the stone down into the mud.
A moments reflection will convince
anyone that the contractors have a
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1917-02-17

great deal to lose, and absolutely
nothing to gain. by delay. Their over
head expenses such as superintend-
ent's salary. office rent. etc, go on
just the same whether work is being
done or not. Also they have the con-
slant interest and depreciation charg-
es Of their crusher, roller and other
equipment which is tied up. as well
as several dollars day demurrage on
cars on II and stone. 1t can easily
be understood from this that no one
is more interested In the early COM
pletion OF the work than the con.
tractors.
Two OF the most common causes
Of failure OF bituminous roads are
building them on poor sub-grades and
under unsatisfactory weather condi
lions. and 1t proves that the contract
ors are interested In doing a good job
when they voluntarily incur expen
sive delays instead of attempting to
rush the work through regardless OF
results.
may say that during the good
weather there were at least three
other annoying but unavoidable eau
SEES OF delay. One was that while
cotton picking was in order II was
practically impossible to get suffi
cient labor and teams or to max,

FORESTRY NEWS TIT

Up to the night of November
18th, ten students had enrolled
in the Trade Dressmaking course
and more are expected. This
course will run for six weeks.
1t was first offered last year and
met with instant approval. Stu
dents put all their time on dress
making and in the six weeks be-
came quite efficient in the art.
They seem to be about equally
divided between those who take
the work in order to prepare for
the profession and those who
take the work with the idea of
doing their own sewing. The
exceedingly low fee of five dol
lars for six weeks makes it a
wonderful opportunity.
The Board of Regents at their
meeting in Bismarck last week
authorized the admission of Bot
tineau High School students in
to the State School of Agricul-
ture and Forestry at a reduced
rate of $3.50 per term. This &C.
ton was taken because of war
conditions and that relief might
be offered the high school, that
it might not be necessary to
build during the war.
Shop equipment to the value
of $1,000 has been ordered for
the new wood and metal shop.
Machinery ordered for the shop
includes a - inch South Bend
lathe, four FORCES, ~anvils, a five
horse power electric motor, drill
press, emery grinders and tools,
and a stock of iron, etc, to work
with. The wood work equipment
will be moved from the main
building to the wood shop.

KING BUYS AMERICAN CAR.
Alfonso of Spain Purchases an Owen
Magnetic for Personal Use.

The long list Of discriminating motor
lists who are owners of owen Magnetic
cars has been augmented by the name
Alfonso Kill. King of Spain" His
majesty had heard Of the Car OF a
Thousand Speeds" and after a critical
inspection, for he is a capable driver,
he ordered one for his personal use.
The news OF the kings purchase was
a spur TO Jose Junguera, a Madrid auto
mobile dealer, and he wrote the Owen
company for the Spanish territory, thea
cabled, and finally braved the U-boats
and came in person to New York u
clinch the distributorship. He took one
ride in the car with Sales Manager +.
5. Partridge and contracted for twenty.
five cars. five OF which have been ship
ped.
When one considers that there are
only 10000 cars in the whole Of Spain.
and that the freight rate TO Spain Is
over 500. besides the high duty, II is
easy to see that Sr. Junguera was con-
vinced OF the worth OF the owen Mag
netic. He is one Of the most prominent;
dealers in the kingdom and one who
would not contract for twenty-five cars
which will cost the purchasers between
$4,000 and $1,000 each, unless he was
sure that there viii be a brisk demand.

POWER THE STRONGEST APPEAL
Haynes Company Issues Results of Can
Vass of 5000 Owners.

Power is the dominant feature of the
Haynes Light Six" motor in the opin-
ion of one-ffth Of the owners included
in the recent investigation made by the
Haynes company. 1t was the same
investigation which revealed that Light
Six" owners are averaging approximate
ly fifteen miles 10 the gallon of gaso
line, despite the low grade of the fuel
now being marketed About 5000 mo.
torists were heard from.
1t was in reply to the question
What feature most appeals TO you?"
that the Haynes owners took occasion
to mention power. A second contingent,
almost as large as the first, designated
the motor as the most appreciated .fea.
ture. and it is probable that they, too,
had power in mind.
The fact that the light six.cylinder
automobile, in addition to being power
full. is also dependable. stood out in the
minds of a tenth of the Haynes owners.
Another ten per cent stated that the
cardinal characteristic was the econom
ical use Of oil, gasoline and tires. A
third body Of motorists declined to make
a selection, with the statement that the
whole-body, motor and economical per.
formance-made its appeal as a unit.
A number of features were mentioned
which recommended themselves to the
owner according to the conditions un-
der which he was driving his car. The
light six followers who pilot cars day in
and day out in crowded city traffic,
mention fiexibility and getaway. Mo.
torists on the farms like the ability TO
negotiate hills on high gear and pull
through stretches of bad road. A tab
ulation Of all the replies ranked the
features of the light six" cars as fol.
lows:
Power. 1876: motor Isl; entire car
1915: dependability 1O.5; economy 1915;
fiexibility rs; control 5.3 comfort 3.S.

What Are We Fighting For
By Lawrence F. Abbott of the vigilantes.

not dastardly; the Zeppelin lombard
ment OF women and babies in unfortified
towns was justifable: the shooting OF
Nurse Cavell was reasonable the ruth
less devastation of Northern France
was civilized, not barbaric and ii is
criminal. as the Germans assert. for
Americans to interfere.
What, then, are we fighting for?
We are fighting because we hold that
the Pan-German premise is false and
that the Pan-German doctrine of life
which they are trying to impose by
force on the rest of the world is de-
structiye Of all that is most dear to us
in civilization because we hold that in.
ternational neighborliness and not war
is biological necessity; that the strons
are not to destroy but to protect the
weak; that military organization is not
the master but the servant of the civil
power that military necessity must be
made to observe some laws; that it is
not merely the superman but the plain,
everyday, supine man also who has an
iDalienable right 10 life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness; and that true
government is based not on the "di
vine right" Of kings but upon the AK.
iom that It is true government only
when it is government of the people,
by the people. for the people.
We are fighting not because we hate
the German people or wish them i'll, no.
for reprisal or revenge. not merely even
for self-protection; but because, II the
German military autocracy wins, the
fundamental principles and institutions
Of the American people and. as we be.
lieve, the very body and soul OF civili
zation itself. will be DESTROYED.
