1t is significant that the first
state road constructed In Mis-
souri, connects with the state roads
system OF Arkansas at a point
due north Of Harrison, and il is
estimated that when this road
now under construction between
the Arkansas line and Branson,
Tansy county, is extended north
to Springfield, there will be more
than hundred motor cars pass
over it daily. Taney county,
with beautiful Lake Taneyeomo,
is ons ofthe most attracljveresorl
sections Of Missouri, aud tourist
travel will keep pace with The i'm
provement OF the roads. This
road is also link in tile highway
connecting Springfield with Little
Rock and Hot Springs.
Assistant State Highway En-
gineer j. P. Davis, who has direct
supervision over all roads con-
struction for the State Highway
Department, reports the work
nicely, with arrange
ments practically completed to
extended the road i,orth from

Cross and plans are being made for
a hospital Of 2J0 beds at st. Joseph
du Lac, near Evlan."
For the care Of these "rapatries"
the Red Cross has formed bureau
Of refuge and home relief, and Ed
ward T. Devine, professor of social
economics at Columbia university, has
been appointed by Major Murphy to
be chief of the bureau.
This bureau plans to supply these
homeless people with portable houses,
help them to complete damaged or
partly built houses, supply them with
q little furniture and Implements, and
help them support themselves.
One of the most urgent needs is
campaign for health conservation.
These of the conquered lands have
been herded together IN most In
sanitary manner, they are poor and
weak, and liable to disease. Many al
ready have consumption.
Professor Devine's first task will be
to relieve the immediate necessities,
aud, as fast as he can, get the families
together and back on their own lands
as the Germans are gradually driven
away.

The Patrol System
of Maintenance.

Heavy rains have badly wash.
ed many roads, particularly in
the hill sections Of Missouri, ac-
cording to reports made by in
spectors for the State Highway
Department, and attention is a.
gain directed to the plan of en-
ploying road patrolmen on public
roads, go that repairs may be
made at the proper time and with
the least expense. In some coun-
ties south of the river there is
maintained what is called the
"one-d ditch" system, that is, one
ditch down the middle of the road
with water breaks, or "humps"
every few rods to turn the water
from the right Of way. More mon
ey is spent by road overseers in
placing these distractions in the
road than it would cost to crown
the roads and provide proper
drainage. With the roads prop
erly crowned and drained, and
the patrol system Of maintenance
in force, road troubles would he
reduced to the minimum, and the
cost would be less than under The
present method.
