der the present road and climatic con-

hours to accomplish the grade on the

This truck is being driven on a

The why and wherefore of the owner
ship of seven pleasure cars and one
G. M. c. truck is probably best ex-
planned through the fact that the
wheat in this district of the Palouse
country is running from twenty-five
to fifty bushels to the acre, at present
prices netting a small fortune each
harvest.
Considerable interest was aroused
in the locality when Mr. Hickman an
nounced that besides owning so many
pleasure cars he was going to use
a G. M. c. truck. The venture, and
it was venture over such roads, has
convinced the most skeptical neighbor
OF Mr.. Hickman's that G. M. c. trucks
can solve any kind of hauling prob
lem.

EXPLAINS CORRECT
WAY TO DRAG ROAD
Government Engineer Tells OF
Dangers to Motorists on
Various Roads and the
Proper Care of Them.
BY J. D. FAUNTLEROY.
District Engineer, United States Of
fee of Public Roads.

Before building road we should
look ahead, past the construction Pc
riod to the maintenance which is to
follow after, and endeavor to get a
mental vision of how that road
should look two or three or ten
years hence. This Is not a matter
of mere conjecture, but, from in
formation in hand, knowing the traf-
fc that will traverse a road. we can
determine, within reasonable limits,
what the life of any particular class
of road will be, and can also in like
manner determine what the cost of
maintaining that road should be-.
With such knowledge available it is
criminal folly to go ahead and con-
struct roads that will not answer the
traffic requirements and that will
either fail utterly, leaving only the
debt to show that they were once
constructed, or else they will have
to be, at future date, reconstructed
at much higher cost than would be
the case had they been properly con-
structed of suitable materials in the
first place.

The question OF maintenance is
an old one. For the last twenty-five
years different statesh ave been expert

state so far has developed a perfect
system of maintenance. We know
that in certain sections of a state, for

maintained than in other sections, and

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia general
inquiry into the operations of the war
department in arming and equipping
the American forces was decided upon
today by the senate military affairs
committee,
Secretary Baker and other depart

various features of war activities.
Senator Chambe rlain, chairman of
the committee, announced it would
probably cover a wide range. Cues
tons of shortages of clothing for the
national army. health, deficiencies in
rifles and field ordnance contracts, he
said would be inquired into.
The purpose of the committee is
not to criticize but to secure informa-

There have been some complaints
covering many army matters and We
desire to look into them particularly
regarding REPORTED shortage of cloth

INTEREST OF THE NEIGHBORs

The nurses Of the House on Henry
street" are striving to remake this
pneumonia map just as the contending
armies are striving to remake the map
Of Europe.
Each blue headed pin represents a
case of pneumonia that the nurses,
under the direction of a physician,
have cared for in the patients home
Each black headed pin represents a
death.
In certain sections of the East side,
particularly where the Italians live,
these pins are clustered 80 closely
that there is literally not room for a
pin point between them.
The map is a constant reminder to
the nurses Of the task they have set
before themselves. This is to get rid
of the black pins entirely and gradual
ly to eliminate the blue pins.
Last year the Henry Street settle
nent had more cases of pneumonia
under its care than all hospitals of
the city put together. The nurses In
their house to house visits cared for
1888. while the records OF the hos.
pitfalls totaled 1904.
Most OF the home care given by

Japanese Protestants Observe
Anniversary of Reformation

with shrines, the relation between
those shrines and the national educa
ton, the many practices carried on in
towns and villages, all Of which are
more or less coercive in nature, must
be viewed as infringements of the free
dom of religious belief. We believe it
to be the duty of the pubiic-spirited
men of our Empire to correct these
evils and to seek to bring about
more perfect realization of right and
Justice"
This action on the part OF protestant
Christians in Japan has been precipi-
tated by the transference of the Gov
ernment's Department of Religion
from the Home Department to the De
partment of Education. It has always
been matter of debate as to whether
the Shinto cult is religion or not;
but many of its ceremonies have
distinctively religious character and
as such the enforcement of them in
schools and at patriotic ceremonies is
felt by Christians to be an infringe
ment of religious liberty.

Six more cars of coal are enroute

Every effort is being made to Sc

CITY COAL IS
DISTRIBUTED

City coal was being distributed
tuesday to Richmond families who
have been suffering from smallpox.
The coal is being taken from the
Richmond creamatory and several
bushels left at each house as a tenn
porary relief.
Many of the quarantined families
have been without coal since Sunday,
according to DR.. s. G. Smelser, secre-
tary of the city board of health. There
are less than eighty families In Rich
mond at present who are quarantined
for the disease.
The quarantine has been lifted al
several houses and the situation is i'm
proving over the entire city in the be
lief of DR.. Smelser. The general vac
cination, it is believed has been re-
sponsible for the further spreading OF
the disease.
Two new cases were reported to
the health authorities Monday night.
They are first new cases reported in
several days.

Nurses Are Fighting a Winning Fight
Against Pneumonia.

In the Office Of the Henry street set
tlement on the lower East side of
New York there is a war map of New
York city. 1t is different both in pur-
pose and appearance from the war
map of Europe. It is a peace time
war map, but 1t depicts the advances
against pneumonia. one of the worst
enemies OF mankind, just as those
maps of the western front picture the
progress against the imperialistic enc
my Of democracy. This peace time
war map shows graphically the need
for replenishing the war-decimated
ranks of our army OF nurses just as
those wavering and ever changing
lines on the face of Europe argue for
keeping our army up to full strength.
This map in the House on Henry
street" was made under the direction
Of Miss Lillian o. Wald. director of
the Henry Street settlement, who Is
one OF the foremost leaders OF the in
creasing army OF public health nurses.

OF the cases were babies under two
years and 20 per cent were children
under five.
Home care OF pneumonia is not easy
to give. The nurse must have infinite
patience. She must convince the
mother that fresh air IL imperative
She must persuade her that bathing
viii be more likely to save the baby
than to kill it. She must also fight
for open windows as well as for clean
illness. She must make two or three
calls day in the early stages Of the
disease and she must supervise the
administration of all medicine.
While this all means hard work the
results have been gratifying. OF the
1888 cases cared for by the Henry
street nurses last winter. 3,57S were
cured. The case death rate was &e7
per cent, which was much lower than
that of the hospitals. Altogether the
effects OF home care Of pneumonia have
