Beauty is economy too. The growing
of trees along the public roads removes
to degree the injurious effect Of the
wind on earth. gravel and macadam
roads. In most parts Of the United
States trees are desirable since they
prevent the road from becoming as dry
and dusty as it would without the
shade which they afford. Trees or
shrubbery along cuts prevent the OBJ
struction Of the road 10y drifting snow
to large extent Sodded banks over
grown with grass. besides being pleas
ing TO the eye. prevent erosion and. IN
sandy soils. help retain the sand In
place. To secure good side drainage
the bitches must be kept free from
weeds aud brush. thereby greatly inn
proving the road from a practical aud
aesthetic standpoint
In the future. then. with a large mile
age Of scenic highways within its bor-
ders. state may well say that its
roads are its fortune. The influx Of
tourists seeking pleasure and entertain
ment iii the changing landscapes will
bring no iuconsderable financial re-.
turn 20 the highest bidder for their
favor-the section which offers tie
best and most attractive highways
Thus the Identification Of tic high.
ways should bring economic aud direct
financial returns and make the roads

BUILDING BEAUTY
INTO HIGHWAYS
Planting Trees Along Roadway
Adds AttraCtiVeneSS.
WEEDS SHOULD Be REMOVED

more Attention Should BE GIVEN IN = u
ture TO the Development Of Aesthet-
10 Possibilities of Highway Construo.
tion-shrubbery Also Is Of Economic
Value.
The scramble in the past TO secure so
called permanent roads. economic
roads. or even any roads at all, has al
most entirely excluded any thought OF
Identifying the roadway by the plant
ing or preserving Of trees and shrub
berry or by taking other steps which
add to the appearance OF the road. In
the planning for and building Of such
large mileage of highways which, as
reports from all sections Of the coun.
try indicate. will take place in the
future, more attention should he given
to the development of the aesthetic
possibilities of highway construction.
What perfection has been attained IN
the art OF road building at the present
time is due to the automobile. and 20
the automobile may also be charged
the great amount of road building ac-
tivity in the nation today. Gravel roads
have been bettered. and the traffic lin
its within which this type will prove
economical have been greatly revised.
Water bound macadam roads. former
ly considered the height or excellence
for country road construction. have
quickly ravelled under the automobile
traffic, and it has been found necessary
to treat their surface. thereby greatly
increasing the service which they are
able TO render. Bituminous concrete, ce.
ment concrete and brick surfaces have
been adapted for country roads and
provide long lived, hard surfaced roads
well suited TO the needs OF both horse
drawn and automobile traffic
Few there are who DO not experience
a pleasurable reaction when travelling
a road lined with luxuriant trees which
enhance the beauty OF the landscape
and supply refreshing shade from the
summers heat. Is IT not proper that in
the present day program or road build
ing consideration should be given 10
the planting of trees along the roads,
thus affording pleasure and comfort TO
the travellers of the future?
But the pleasure Of trees is not the
only way 10 beautify the roadside
Clean. well kept cuts and fills. sodded
and free from unsightly weeds and
crush. add very materially 10 the ap-
pearance OF the turnpike. A span of
years is not required to secure results.

Materials Used in SmokeIess
 Powder More Expensive.
Uncle Sam Hit by Increased Expenses in Operation of Government
 Naval Factory.

The high cost Of killing has hit Uncle Sam.
 The smokeless powder manufactured in 1916 at the naval powder factory at Indian Head. Md cost the government more than seven cents pound more than during the preceding year. Uncle sam manufactured 4,220, 405 pounds of smokeless powder in this factory in 1916, as compared with 4,053,05g pounds in 1915. The cost per pound increased from $0249 in 1915 to $0s321 in 1916.
 This large increase in cost was caused mainly. 1t is said by the in- crease in the market price of all raw materials entering into the manufac~ ture of explosives, due to the wat abroad. As an example of thls, say ex- perts of the navy department, the cost of mixed acid more than doubled, and 1t was accordingly decided to increase the capacity of the nitric and suphuric acid plants at Indian Head to take care of the entire capacity of the powder factory. These extensions to the acid plants are now just about completed. and ait the current rate for mixed acid 1t is expected that they will pay for themselves in few months. In addi- ton to this increase more recently al cohol and nitrating cotton have great ly advanced In price. The officials ob- tained a supply of sodium nitrate of excellent quality at low figure by pur- chase In the Chilean ports and trans- porting in naval cutter to this coun- try.
 The navy department did not con- tract for smokeless powder with any private manufacturers during the past year, it is said, and no deliveries were made by manufacturers on back con tracts. It is expected, however, that during the present year additional con- tracts will be placed with private firmsy owing to the fact that the new building program, which Is beyond the capacity of the Indian Head plant, is making large demands on that plant.

CANADA SHIPS MUCH PAPER
Great Increase in Consumption of Wood Pulp Causing Concern
 Among Conservationists.

A great increase in the exports of paper from Canada to the United States is causing concern among con servationlsts of the dominion, Uncle Sam is informed, as it is feared that the drain upon Canadian wood-pulp re. sources will result seriously to the do. minion. It Is pointed out that the drain is likely to increase rather than diminish, in view of the rapid deple- ton of accessible supplies of timber suitable for pulp wood in the United States.
 That Canada is making big progress toward becoming the worlds center for the manufacture of pulp and paper, Ii is declared, Is indicated by the fact that for the year ending with July. 1916, the exports of paper amounted ta S21, ,67S, ,S6S, of which SS per cent went to the United States and 5.2 per cent to the United Kingdom. This was an increase of 31 per cent over the figures of the previous year. The first ship ment of paper from Canada was made in 1892, amounting tC total of S91 for the year. The total exports for 1902 were but S24,000 and for 1913 only S6r 827, 600.

"A little Boy named Malcolm" said Daddy, always put a glass of water by him when he went to bed The glass of water was upon a chair and it was just where Malcolm could reach his arm out and get it the very first thing when he woke up in the morning.
 sIt was very cold night, and Nal colm put an extra quilt over his bed. Ugh he said, as he got under the sheets which were very cold Ugh, isn't it cold?'
 Now listening to him as he nut tered to himself were the little lee Brothers.
 Look at that glass of water, they said. Won't We have some fung And they laughed to themselves.
 Their laughs made Malcolm feel all the colder and the air seemed to come through every crack in the window.
 But soon he began to feel warmer and warmer and pretty soon he fell asleep.

 You are not huft?" he demanded. You are-all right?"
 Quite" she told him with a smile significant of her appreciation of his generous feeling. But you? Haven't you slept at all?"
 "Oh, surely-a great deal But I've been awake for some time-a few hours.''
 '.But I-i What time is it7"
 T haven't watch. but late after noon, I should think-going by the sun. It's nearly down."

 You earned your right to. You needed it far more than l." Her eyes shone, warm with kindness.
 She swayed almost imperceptibly to- ward him. Her voice was low pitched and trifie broken with emotion:
 You saved my life"
 IT,? Oh. that was only what any other man.
 "None other didl"
 "Please don't speak of it-I mean, consider it that way" he stammered. What l want to know is, where are wei"
 Her reply was more distant. "On an island, somewhere. It's uninhabited, I think"
 He could only echo in bewilderment: :: An island ! Uninhabited !" Dismay assailed him. He got up, after little struggle overcoming the resistance of stiff and sore limbs, and stood with hand on the coaming of the dismantled catboat, raking the island with an incredulous stare.
 She stirred from her place and of fered him a hand. "Please help me up."
 He turned eagerly, with feeling of chagrin that she had needed to ask him. For an instant he had both her hands, warm and womanly, in his grasp, while she rose by his aid, and for an instant longer-possibly by way of reward. Then she disengaged them with gentle firmness.
 She stood beside him so tall and fair, so serenely invested with the fawless dignity of her womanhood that he no longer thought of the incongruity of her grotesque garb.
 'You've been up there?" he asked, far too keenly interested to scorn the self-eyident.
 She gave comprehensive gesture embracing the visible prospect, All over. When woke. I thought surely I went to see, found nothing living except the sheep and some chickens and turkeys in the farm yard. And the farmhouse-apparently it's ordinarily inhabited.
